Have you ever thought why some people never get any disease or cure very fast, and others have to suffer a lot to get their pain out? It is an extremely interesting and important question that might concern a lot of people. There exist different approaches to the problem. One of them was suggested by pioneer and international lecturer in the fields of energy medicine and human consciousness Caroline Myss in her book “Why People Don’t Heal?” The author explains why people are so vulnerable to pain and sickness and how to get rid of them. The basic idea of the book turns around such concepts as biography’s influence on our biology, resistance to healing or healing unattractiveness, and the phenomenon of so called “woundology” — tendency of people to hold onto their illnesses and injuries rather than get over them.

It is not an exception for Australia. While on one hand, the government of Australia ardently advocates free trade and lifting of international trade barries, on the other hand, it has to fiercely oppose the negitve effects of such an openness in its public policy in regard to drug use in Australia.
