Sicknesscare VS Healthcare – Whats the Difference?

Think of it like this:
A prominent Chiropractic speaker James Chestnut draws this analogy – If your house is burning down, its an acute emergency – you call the fire brigade, They put the fire out and your house is saved. But a partially burned down house needs repair. If you call the fire brigade (the emergency care team) they wont rebuild your house for you. You need a team of separate specialist contractors to do it for you. A carpenter, plumber, electrician, painter etc… these are the people that can make your house functional again and maintain it for you so it can be a home again.

How does that relate to healthcare?
When you injure your body, and are in incapacitating pain ( like a house burning down) you go to the Hospital, or to your GP. (like the fire brigade) They can stitch you up, replace your heart, give you Antibiotics and do an excellent job in saving your life. That’s SICKNESSCARE. They are looking after you in a time of sickness to prolong your life. And this is critically important. But its not health.

Healthcare is a proactive step to maintain and enhance your overall wellbeing and avoid getting sick. This means having a team of specialist contractors (like you plumber, carpenter, electrician etc…) to help you to stay healthy. These people are your Chiropractors, Massage Therapists,  Nutritionists, Personal trainers, Counselors, Psychologists, Pastors, Mentors and accountable Family. Staying healthy, fine tuning your body and avoiding sickness. That’s HEALTHCARE!

Want to pursue health?
Its as simple as having a regularly active lifestyle in a range of different activities, eating fresh seasonal food in as natural state as possible and having healthy mental and spiritual relationships. – Need some tips on what this looks like? sign up to Bonfire healths newsletter.
