A Doctor Can Do Just So Much

We have faith in doc’s prescription
To relieve pain and cure any disease
Swallowing a pill is so very easy
To soothe anxiety and rush a cure

From childhood, we learn and believe
That a spoonful of medicine, a pill or a shot
Will cure any problem, physical or mental
And we can go on with our lives as usual

We marvel at the doctor's stethoscope, and
A doctor's ability to diagnose our body’s ills
We accept and take doc’s recommended medicines
With total acceptance and faith to cure ourselves

Sometimes, the doc's medicines are not enough
And an invasive procedure is required
To repair, remove, or substitute organs
For refurbishing the body to function normally

Full credit must always be given
To doctor’s medicines and invasive procedures
Scientific advances are constantly occurring
To relieve discomfort of disease and pain

It seems that in pursuit of material prosperity
We humans often get so very busy
Working, eating, drinking and indulging
With very little time left for our inner self



Being busy is a desirable thing to be
With right activities and priorities of life
Life has to be a balance of wit and wisdom
To make the life-boat sail smoothly ahead

When internal body functions go astray
Causing body discomfort and disease
Listening to the doctor is one choice, but
Realize that a doctor can do just so much

Responsibility for your body
Is yours and yours alone
Realize that there is a doctor inside your body
Attending to your body during every breath

This doctor residing inside your body
Knows your body inside and out
Knows every cell, tissue, and organ
Every vibration, emotion, and function

This inside doctor is your body's built-in intelligence
Much more vibrant, powerful, sensitive, and capable
Than any outside doctor, medicine or procedure
Always attentive, caring, and trying to effect a cure

You must learn to listen to this inside doctor
Constantly providing various intelligent signals
For every malfunction within the body
While constantly curing and healing

The inside doctor constantly provides signals
A small signal for a small malfunction
A strong signal for a large malfunction
But never a wrong signal or a wrong diagnosis


The very function of the inside doctor
Is to cure and care for you alone
Manage every malfunction within the body
Around the clock for a full lifetime

This inside doctor does not prescribe medicines
Nor recommend invasive procedures as we know
Because it’s medical vocabulary is different
Than the science created by the human mind

The inside doctor’s unique medical expertise senses
The presence of every substance within the body
It senses, diagnoses, understands and acts upon
Every bodily function and dysfunction

The inside doctor has not much control
Over the food that is fed into the mouth
But the inside doctor will spare no effort
To help process it all for the most benefit

Our body processes incoming food at each step
With salivation, hydration, pH control and other processes
Including assimilation, fixation, absorption, and rejection
For constant maintenance, preservation and regeneration of the body

For the inside doctor within our body
No effort is insignificant or too burdensome
No effort is complicated or tiring, because
Preservation and harmony is its very nature

Since we keep on running endlessly
Always looking outside and away
We fail to notice our inner doctor’s help
Its care, love, and harmony within

If we stop running around and just pause
Turning our mind’s attention within
We can begin to learn and to listen
To our inner doctor’s cautious signals

Then we will learn and wonder
How well the inner doctor cares and cures
And put more faith in the inner doctor
At the very first sign of discomfort or pain

Our inner doctor needs our help
To do its job better every day
With proper exercise, rest and food intake
And living in harmony with Nature

When we prudently put more faith in the inner doctor
Body malfunctions get resolved timely and smoothly
Mostly without the need for pills, injection, or pain
Without undue toxins and side reactions within

Utilize the outside and the inside doctor wisely
Understand each for their respective strengths
And let your own wisdom navigate decision
Whom to listen more, and whom not as much
