Social Prescriptions are a Thing!

Have you heard about the medical premise that connecting with folks and doing what's most important to YOU are just as effective as medicine?

According to a recent NPR program, the US and New Zealand are the only societies that advertise directly to audiences about drugs.

That might be seen as one reason why it's so important for us to collect other information and make informed decisions.

Of course, this in no way suggests that you discontinue your health provider's regular prescriptions without consulting them. Rather, these social prescriptions might be seen an intelligent. addendum!

A book by Jula Hobbs (The Connection Cure) seems to delve into that joyful topic quite masterfully. The author shares stories about folks who changed their medical conditions by "reaching out".

So go do art, forest bathe, bike with pals you haven't seen in ages, or "join" a farm (there's a "Dementia Farm" in Denmark where the so-called patients make the place hum by collecting eggs, milking cows, etc.).

And always remember how much you are loved. After all, God IS love.
