Although it’s not publicized as much as before, we are apparently at the precipice of change in terms of the typical medical practice. The future of medicine as we know it is the open-sourcing of more information that anyone can digest, AND the widespread availability, affordability – and, ideally, privacy – of digitized DNA information.
In the future (and in an ideal world) we will be able to get most of our medical results directly (as doctors will be doing more appointments via mobile device and will communicate all pertinent info), and future prescriptions will be composed of accurate predictions and recommendations based on DNA information that is taken on a regular basis to monitor developments.
It’s been a long time coming, as we had these abilities roughly 20 years ago. Of course, technology has come leaps and bounds since then… And the companies that offer such services are still budding industries, trying to gain solid footholds.

There are, undoubtedly, moral concepts at play here. Yes, the information is relatively accurate, but there are still false positives that could cause someone concern, and then turn out to be skewed. And, yes, insurance companies’ access to this data is still a potential reality in some cases. Nobody wants their genetic makeup and possible future disease records to keep them from having the coverage they deserve. Even if the information is made ‘anonymous’, I understand there are still ways to track down who the person is.

And yet, there is lots of evidence to suggest that it’s helpful to know ahead of time what things you might be predisposed to, so that you can make smarter and more catered life decisions. This is the solid scientific argument for digitizing DNA info, and sometimes it’s true. However, that leaves the percentage (whatever it may be) of people that find out they are predisposed to something, and still never get around to exercising more or eating better or changing their habits at all. And it also opens the door to a potential hypochondriac scenario, where someone finds out they might come down with an illness, and suddenly they exhibit symptoms.
Now don’t get me wrong, it’s happened many times that a person got their DNA digitally analyzed, it turns up they’re at high risk of developing something, and within that same time-frame they’ve discovered they really do have that something already.
At either stage, it’s been shown that if an expert does the proper wading through data and gives the person a solid recommendation package (after the DNA analysis) it can be helpful, and even healthful.

There are many reasons why someone would want to find out this information, and I’m guessing that within 20 more years it may be a routine practice to digitize people’s DNA and create diagnoses (and therapy) based on that info.

To be honest, I’m excited about how this will further validate alternative energy-work and other non-invasive therapies. Since the mind is incredibly powerful, and it’s been proven that we can fundamentally alter things just with our thoughts and faith, I think it would be interesting (much later) to take multiple DNA samples from someone. Basically, a before and after of alternative healing. I think that if a person is armed with both a wealth of information, and the tools to improve things, the possibilities are endless!

I’ve heard so many stories of how people have been able to cure blindness, or stop disease in its tracks, or even prolong health in amazing ways – all with healing-touch energy, faith, and persistence. So, if someone learned of their high-risk nature to getting something due to having certain alleles in their DNA, they could then access a catered healing program based on what they’re trying to overcome, and maybe even alter their DNA for the better?????
What if?
I think the fusion of alternative therapy and conventional (and developing) medicine is still in its early stages, in our modern day and age. I’m excited to see what the future holds, and very hopeful that health and abundance will be more available and bountiful for all.

Yours in Calmness,
