Hi Friends!
Week one... the week that seemed interminable... has finally ended. It actually ended very well. Let me recap this weekend's activities.
The Palmer Connection
This event was put on by my school's Admissions department in order to educate pre-health advisers about our program and admissions process. It was really neat giving them tours and sitting on a panel for questions. Their questions were different than that of typical prospective students.
I'm in nutrition right now and there is something I need to rant about. We are discussing an initiative to implement statin drugs in an over-the-counter capacity to those who eat in fast food restaurants. How ridiculous is this?! It all comes down to the idea that putting one chemical into the body can have a single effect on the body's chemistry. Readers, I'm assuming that most of you have at least some knowledge of basic physiology, but even if you don't, doesn't it stand to reason that a system as complicated as our body's chemical mediator system has enough variables to make any one chemical ineffective in impacting only one body system?! This fact, which is so obvious to many of us, sits in direct conflict with the allopathic paradigm of biochemistry as a primary healthcare intervention. I don't want to get too into this now... but later, we will be talking about paradigm a lot more, I think. :)
