My TED Story

While doing all the things listed on my Bio/CV I have had to deal with an Autoimmune Disease. I have had many surgeries, take daily medication and have suffered relapses and countless side effects of both the disease and the strong suppressor drugs. I want to prove to the world that even though I live with this setback, I have managed it in my mind and therefore it doesn't manage me or my life!

    A comment on Conversation: Which is more beneficial, pharmaceutical medicine or alternative medicine?

    Feb 11 2013: I am a medical student in my last year, but I am also a qualified Reiki Master and Pranic Healing Practitioner. I have found a perfectly logical explanation for how both of these healing methods fit together. Our focus should not be on which one is right, but which one the patient best responds to, and we should never rule out the possibility of combining the two! In fact, we should insist upon it! Conventional medicine, in some cases cures a disease, however there are categories, such as chronic disease, in which it simply postpones or suppresses the symptoms. Complimentary medicine is not as aggressive, but if successful, has long lasting effects that pinpoint the root of a problem and eliminate it entirely. A treatment plan that quickly removes unpleasant symptoms and eventually cures the ailment, is what all medical professionals should be striving for!

  • A comment on Conversation: Telling others about your goals forces you to accomplish your goals.

    Feb 11 2013: My personal experience is that when you tell those closest to you about a goal, that they aren't always as supportive as you would like. I have learned to use this reaction as my secret weapon. Every time I hear, 'you can't' I use it as fuel! I failed a semester in university due to illness and everyone around me was so worried about my health and if I would drop out or not. So what did I do? I decided to start up a company that gives medical knowledge to all for free and to pass my next semester with the top grade in my year. No one thought I could do it and I didn't have much support. But it was the lack of belief and expectation that drove me to succeed! I hope that this story inspires others to reach their goals because that's why I joined TED.
