Elli Smith // Discotechnician

Hey duuudes, my name is Elli. I've always considered myself to be a healthy individual until one day when I read an Ayurvedic book that described health as more than the mere lack of disease. Interesting I thought, and quested on to read that instead health is described as a constant interaction / evaluation process to continually improve oneself. That seems a little more fitting now doesn't it?

What I have discovered in my search for a constantly healthier and happier life, is that most of the current path of western medicine is leading not, in fact to health, but instead to a cream covering, pill popping facade that hides the majority of people's true medical problems. The map back to health, in my opinion, is subjective to each individual, but can be written in part by integrating the workd of a variety of healers who specialize in maintaining people's health.

All metaphors aside, I believe that these so-deemed alternative practices will be the only viable means to a healthy future for us human folks and earth, the small blue and green planet we inhabit. But remember that before you save the world you have to help yourself and the ones around you; and laughter is always the best medicine.
