Dear all, I'd appreciate if I can get feedback/clarification on the differences between "palliation" and "suppression" in general as well as they relate to ...
Dear Yinhsu, Palliation is the mitigation of symptoms without actual healing, to reduce or moderate the intensity of symptoms. Suppression, from the Latin,...
Hi Yinhsu, If you have a mosquito bite and you put plantain salve on it, the itching goes down. You have palliated the bite. If you have a toxic reaction to...
Thats a good question. Sometimes I think it should have been two or three of the principles instead of one because there seem to be a few elements. I wonder...
HI Jared, I started to do some writing on the Vis for the foundations project. Attached is what I have come up with as a rough draft. Bill From: DrZeff@......
I just want to express my thanks to Bill Mitchell and Jared Zeff for commenting on this distinction between palliation and suppression. Very helpful. Have a...
Hi Luke, I would agree that the Vis doesn't have to be confined to any particular single principle. The healing and restoring power of nature is, at the very...
I will wait a while, Mona. I am working on it and it changes daily. I am currently working on the spirit part which contains implicit salvational rhetoric. the...
In re to what is the vis.... I love it, Dr. Z, that you are asking! Thanks for being that role model of continuous expansion of understanding. I think of the...
Hi Kim, thanks for your interest in the Vis. I've attacched some writing on the "Vis that can be of some use....at least parts of it. Hope you get a few ideas...
Hi again Kim, I worte the stuff I just sent you (via attachment) on the vis over the last few months, and I am stunned that the ideas change constantly. The...
Dear Jared, Here is an attempt I made at writing about the vis in 1991, just as I was beginning my first year at Bastyr. Enjoy. Gary Piscopo To offer an...
Hi Swan, I like the poetic images of the vis and your referral to your term biopsychosocial. It is diffecult to actually capture what a person is, let alone...
I hope everyone had a great holiday season and that this new year is healthy and prosperous to all. I wanted to share an interesting discussion a good friend...
Hi Tom - I would agree that intention is HUGE in medicine (in everything, but that's not the point here). I've one patient - who has breast cancer - who ...
Hello y'all, I've been mulling this over and have some questions. Thanks Bill for the essay, I remember you describing it this way at the Gathering last year...
I like the way you account for all 3 parties in the room, so to speak, the client/healer, the teacher/guide, and the medicinal medium. Intention of the...
William, I think you have provided an excellent point. The problem here is that the Vis Medicatrix Naturae is not mathematics. I think Bill has provided an ...
Hi Jared, Yes I'd say the Vis is not mathematics. Equations are descriptions of relationships, rather than just numbers. E=mC2 for instance does not involve...
Hi William. I'd say that the vis is always operational irregardaless of the values of the vitality of any system. the good news about that is that we can...
Hi Chance, So interesting to hear stories of Intention in action. Bill From: "Chance Diebold, ND" <chance@...> Reply-To: NDPhilosophy@yahoogroups.com...
I've decided to try articulating the crowd of thoughts I have on this topic. Here's a first pass: However we (individually) think of the Vis is an outgrowth of...
We are faced with an interesting problem. We understand our medicine to be a separate and distinct branch of the healing arts, or so we claim. Of singular...
I remember one of my teachers saying, "sometimes, after you've done all you can, the most important thing to do is get out of the way." So many of us are...
HI Greg. Sure liked your thoughts on the Vis. Yep...it's pretty deep. I printed them out so I can study them further. thanks for sharing these ideas...ideas...
I'll break this all into parts to make it easier to read. I am a bit notorious for being verbose, and this will be no exception, I'm sure. My apologies ahead...
"The healing power of nature is the inherent self-organizing and healing process of living systems which establishes, maintains and restores health....
