Week No 30 | 24/07/2019
B-day blog and activity
It’s Boris day!! New beginnings and uncertainty are the only certainties for the UK! But with change comes opportunity. The warm sunshine that bathed the UK is perhaps auspicious. This week it’s my turn to blog. With a new BMJ study revealing further concerns about preventable harms caused by drugs and surgery, we have more context for our work as a non-profit. So many trends in the field of technology, including when it’s applied to medicine, are driven by profit motives. We look for gaps, doing things we think are important that others aren’t doing. Our motive is simple: can we protect, promote and develop better ways of managing our health by working with nature, not against it? Doctors learn about human-made medicines. But not about the “veritable pharmacy” of endogenous compounds, about which Dr Ted Kaptchuk refers in the embedded video in my blog, which can be released given the right environment. Our second piece is inspired by the northern hemisphere summer - getting active. How long will it be before medics are taught about exercise medicine. Yes, more internally produced medicines with which we have co-evolved for millennia. For those who might be taking a summer break, we wish you well and safe travels.
