Are you a machine?

Western medicine often looks at the human body as a machine. They prefer to take the human body and separate it into many parts. It’s why there are so many different Doctors who specialize in specific parts of the body. If you have something wrong with your heart, you will be referred to a cardiologist. If the cardiologist suspects something wrong with your lungs you will be referred to pulmonologist and so on.

Many people have a number of doctors all treating a different part of their body, and while that might work just fine for our car, it doesn’t always go so well for the human body.

Somewhere along the way we have misplaced or dismissed the fact that the human body is “natural.” It contains trillions of cells, 78 different organs and thousands of miles of blood vessels. They all have to work together to keep us alive. Each organ belongs to a body systems. These body systems are interconnected and they all depend upon one another to function. Your heart does not beat unless your brain and nervous system tell it to do so, and so on.

Bottom line: Machines are PRODUCTS that are designed by man. Humans are designed by whichever you believe in. Either evolution or by God. Either way, we are not machines and should not be treated as such.
