- Between weeks 8 and 12, each student should provide a weekly reflection (500 words) on the data you have collected to date.
- What data did you collect?
- What is your initial impression of the data?
- How have the data you have collected this week changed/progressed your thinking about your research project?
- What challenges did you encounter while collecting the data?
- What are your next steps?
How I am thinking about connecting my evidence thus far… Show the fundamental differences between holistic healing and allopathic – holistic looks into the ‘higher laws/levels’ of nature – consciousness based healing – other methods look at the cells (dr. sebi as one) and revitalize the cells – turning on the potential to heal the body with the proper natural remedies, rather than using artifical chemicals – Connection between the body as a commodity and the major costs that are put on people through hospital visits and treatments – look into chemotherapy/look back into the books we have read – Paper will show how and why holistic healing works, evidence, and how the view of the body is different to the view of conventional healthcare and use our books to show expensive our healthcare has become the cost comparison of alternative vs conventional healing.

Consciousness based medicine/healing – a new form/approach that looks at the consciousness of the person and the quality of life as a source of the problem, which can be alleviated through working out the problem within the consciousness of the individual – I have plenty of evidence from working at a holistic healing place this past summer as to how consciousness and looking within the body to heal are effective and have the potential to cure diseases that conventional medicine cannot
Dr. Sebi talks about his court case with new york and beating it, and also discusses his methods and ideologies – revitalization of the cell is huge, connection to looking at the cells in reductionist theory, but taking a different approach – the body heals from within –
Thanks for this Brandon. Please remember that you need to submit annotated bibliography (2-3 sources) for each week.
Also, please make sure that you do not get lost in the details of different forms of alternative healing and tie it to our topic “neoliberalism.” This means that you need to find more sources about the relationship between healthcare, market, and neoliberalism.
