Listen to Your Body
10 Mar 2006
The body is amazing! It makes great efforts to heal itself, but it is not always strong enough to complete the task. We need to find the cause! Remove the cause! Then provide the catalyst(s) needed to stimulate the healing defenses.
How do we find the cause? Listen to your body. Our bodies send us messages every day, every minute, every second. We usually call these messages symptoms. Some of these symptoms have even been referred to as diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, cancer, asthma, etc. I believe that these “diseases” are really just symptoms of one “disease”: degeneration.
Our bodies are either in a state of regeneration or degeneration. Which one we are currently in is determined by our lifestyle, diet and our exposure to toxins, to name a few.
I believe that our bodies are built to regenerate, at any age. We know that the body is constantly regenerating on a cellular level. For example, the epidermal layer of skin, which consists of many layers of skin, regenerates every 27 days. Every three days the stomach gets a new lining. This regeneration is innate and is programmed into our DNA to take place. It is what our bodies want to do. It is what they are meant to do, at any age! Sure, we get older, but it doesn’t have to hurt or feel uncomfortable, or be disabling. We are entitled to enjoy the journey.
Our body’s ability to send these messages (symptoms) is actually quite beautiful. It is an indicator that our body continues to want to regenerate, and it is giving us clues that something must be done in order for the regeneration to take place. By killing the messenger (treating the symptoms) we may end up suppressing our body’s natural response and healing process, which can lead to degeneration. Click Here for full article.
