A Crucial Task of Life
EMF is just one of many health challenges we face today. Health doesn't just "happen" in our society, especially if we're already sick, or as we age. It can be damaged, and must be protected - especially in the case of children. Still, at Living Waters Wellness, we don't think just in terms or protection or prevention, but of "salutogenesis" : the active promotion of health. Health in this sense is not limited to our bodies, but includes the whole human being of body, soul and spirit. Some of the most profound work in this emerging movement of thought and action has been done by Dr. Michaela Gloeckler , who "walked before me" for the the whole time of my nursing career.
"Salutogenesis" : Seven Requirements for Healthy Growth and Development
On a personal level, salutogenesis could begin with a conscious decision to
Add positive influences, habits and practices to our life , as often and thoroughly as we can ; and
Subtract negative influences, habits and practices, one by one as we can.
This approach is most truly helpful when it's systematic. A good example of such a systematic salutogenic approach is "the nursing process", used by registered nurses to help their patients. Another name for this process is its acronym, APPIE
To organize her work and care, a nurse
Assesses her patient, including relevant history, symptoms, emotional and social concerns.
Identifies Problems that need to be addressed.
Establishes a Plan, composed of various tasks and
steps, to be carried out within a chosen time frame.
Implements the various steps as planned, and
Evaluates patient responses and outcomes, and continues this process as needed.
This process can also absolutely be applied elsewhere : to external situations in the world, but also to inner questions and processes ; and to social situations. This nursing process has been portrayed as not just a problem solving tool, but in a certain sense, a spiritual path.
In a spirit of thoroughness concerning EMF and health, we'd like to offer four original resource pages below. The first shares an overview of scientific, medical and legal issues associated with EMF ; the second includes practical measures you can take - including many that are inexpensive or FREE. The third introduces groups working socially and politically on EMF issues ; and last shares measures and practices for building up the whole person, the whole human being, through a thoroughgoing personal wellness program.
We wish you good reading and good luck - please also share your own thoughts and experiences !
