MEDICINE AND SELF CARE

Healing our bodies and growing our spirits John R Graham is a physician with special interests in epistemology (how we know what we know), linguistics (including the power that we can discover in changing words that inadvertently limit our lives), cognition, and philosophy, especially in relation to cosmology, biology at molecular and cybernetic levels and ecology. To achieve this he has maintained studies in biochemistry, microbiology, immunology, neuroprotection and nutrition, and is in contact with researchers into chronic illnesses including post-infection disorders, and the chronic fatigue and fibromyalgic changes seen in many people. He is skilled in neuro-linguistic programming and the ethical use of these skills.

He warms to the paradoxes that life brings forth. He greatly enjoys humour, storytelling and the use of metaphor. He is committed to the notion that we can continue our personal journeys to an "entelechy," which is our highest level of personal realization. His methods involve conversational and collaborative styles of working with people so that each person may better decide how to take the most useful and safest steps towards recovery. Health matters are good examples of the importance of ongoing cooperation and co-evolution of better and better solutions. He lives life with a balance of reason and passion, and is committed to environmental protection and care of ourselves and each other. With others he promotes the realization of integral medicine as described by Ken Wilber.
