Dr. Jeanette Gallagher, Naturopathic Physician, personal health advocate and writer, is actively working to reform our vision of healthcare. In these times of turmoil, a paradigm shift is needed in the structure and responsibilities of the physician, patient and overall healthcare systems. Change seems to be on everyone’s mind, but how do you effect change when the answers you are looking for did not exist in the past? It takes a visionary to design the steps that start the wheels of reform rolling. Reform is the only option, because the current healthcare systems and beliefs have not kept up with an increase in knowledge, technology and costs for medical care.
Change may seem difficult to some who resist a challenge of their longtime beliefs, may be resisted by those who have vested interests in the current delivery system, and may be welcomed in theory but resisted in practice by those unwilling to take personal responsibility and initiative for their own well-being. A paradigm shift will occur when each person takes on the responsibility for the place they are in, accepts that a new design is available and that it is a requirement for personal responsibility for the availability and structure of the new system. To speak up is to raise the energy level and rally those around you to also become aware, stand up, and speak out demanding a shift away from complacency and enabling a rise in the creative flow in everyone.
When someone speaks out, they initiate forward momentum that, hopefully, will be unstoppable. Let us all take the time to speak up and speak out about our healthcare system. We will always be met with resistance, controversy and challenges, but look to those who rise alongside you for support, because they have made a choice of their own free will to stand and demand better, not only for themselves, but for all people suffering the same conditions as they are. Leap into the light: the light of possibility. Only there, in the light, can we construct a new vision.
Dr. Gallagher, a New Orleans resident, is speaking out through her writing and teaching. Please visit her websites periodically to join her in demanding a wholesale shift in healthcare structure. The vision for change is clear, and those who believe in the vision are gripping it like a vice, completely unyielding in their resolve to see change or to force change themselves. Change will occur, and everyone should be prepared to do their part in rebuilding the healthcare system into a model system their children and grandchildren will benefit from and be proud of.
The Rose Project is a revolution in the design of the healthcare system for our children’s future. Let us nurture the seeds within ourselves to help the rose within us bloom. May our actions reflect our true inner being to the world.
