| Illness and Healing, What Do We Know? | | |
|  mollybrogan | Mar 7, 9:33am | Hippocrates , the father of modern medicine, tells us that, "healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity." We all know that when we are not feeling well, we want to heal, and there are myriad resources available to us for help. But what is healing? How do we choose the best resource from the overwhelming amount of information available?
Harvard Medical School online dictionary defines healing as:
1 : to make sound or whole especially in bodily condition
2 : to cure of disease or disorder
intransitive verb
1 : to return to a sound state
2 : to effect a cure
The National Cancer Institute online dictionary defines cure as: To heal or restore health; a treatment to restore health.
It may be that to understand healing, we need to understand illness. Dr. Bernie Siegal, MD and author of several books on health and healing says, "There is no incurable disease from which someone has not recovered, even at the threshold of death." If one person has the innate capability to overcome a particular disease, the all of us must have that same ability.
In his book, Healing Crisis, Dr. Bruce Fife tells us that the symptoms of the healing crisis are the same as those of an illness. For this reason, the healing crisis is greatly misunderstood and often believed to be an illness that must be treated to restore health. The healing crisis is a positive event, a sign of improving health. According to Fife, "when the body experiences dramatic symptoms of cleansing as a result of improved organ function and immune efficiency, it is referred to as a healing crisis - healing, because it expels toxins and brings about improvement in health, crisis because the symptoms associated with the toxic removal can be dramatic." What do YOU think?

|  PassionatePuppy | Mar 7, 3:05pm | I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and told that I had been carrying it for many years (I did not know).
In a three month period:
I took very high doses of Colloidal Silver.
I drank no alcohol, ate almost no fat or sugar
I drank massive amounts of water
I did meditation and visualization everyday
The waves of fatigue stopped and the pain in my joints disappeared.
I am no longer a carrier and have no symptoms any longer as well.
My doctor told me I must have a horseshoe up my ass !!! hehhehe
I told him that I only bowed to my soul!!
Namaste |
