No doctor ever mentioned or suggested it. But when I say I love walking on the beach, barefoot in the sand, I love to swim in the sea they all say"that's great".

But they cannot think of it by themselves. They are stuck in their pharma furrow. So deeply, they lost view of the most obvious, the most available, the most beautiful and most most soothing.

I only see a doctor when there is absolutely no other option. And then I enter the premises on full alert, like a commando soldier entering enemy territory.

Dear Christian, that “commando soldier entering enemy territory” feeling is exactly what so many people experience, and it says a lot about how far modern medicine has drifted from feeling like care.

I also think you’re pointing to something important: many doctors will affirm nature once the patient brings it up, but they rarely initiate it as part of a treatment plan.

Simple, beautiful, and free should still count as medicine.
