"Ari Meisel is part of a grassroots movement of citizen scientists of health hackers who are driven by data and are often motivated by self improvement. Typically, they are people with no formal training in the sciences but who are turning their bodies and their lives into personal laboratories."
- Wall Street Journal
Watch the video below (from WSJ) and form your own ideas regarding similarities between computer hacking and health hacking. Personal Computers have allowed citizen hackers to collaborate in writing codes that have transformed the computer industry enabling it to advance at a pace that is unprecedented. Open source software is a dominant force in computing. Health hacking is now challenging the once staid and closed medical research community and the internet is accelerating the process of sharing data once deemed too personal. Some early adopter medical scientists are now collaborating with health hackers to share data and research openly while critics decry this approach.
Your being and wellness lie in your own hands. Who has a more vested interest in your health than yourself? And this new knowledge gathering speed on the internet will only empower you to be more proactive to prevent rather than allow your body to "fail" into an irreversible condition.
What is your opinion of Ari Meisel's approach to self healing?
