There are people who think that in order to be healthy you need to be healed. The truth is you need the right environment for the body to heal itself, except for a few genetic and developmental defects, the body knows exactly how to take care of itself. The secret is that with a steady flow of nutrients and a quick removal of wastes cells can thrive.

Homeostasis is the ability of the body to regulate its cells together as a unit. The body knows where it’s going and how it’s going to get there. The perfect example of this is our body temperature. Our body knows exactly how to maintain its temperature at 98.6 ° F whether we are in the freezing arctic or the sweltering dessert. The body effortlessly makes billions of biochemical adjustments to maintain its equilibrium and temperature.

 

The body can withstand a phenomenal amount of abuse, and homeostasis will maintain internal equilibrium without us even being aware of the process. However, if homeostasis is pushed harder to maintain order then acute disease exists. High fever helps the white blood cells to be more active. Vomiting and diarrhea can help to flush out toxins. Lack of appetite allows the body to focus on cleansing and repair instead of digestion. Fatigue allows the body energy to be shunted away from motion, inwards to aid in healing. Acute disease should quickly and decisively re-establish homeostasis.

If it is unsuccessful in achieving its goals due to a healing capacity that is lower than the disease cause, then the body will slowly surrender its idealistic goals. This is the beginning of chronic disease

The “Father of Pathology”, Rudolph Virchow states” “If I could live my life over again I would devote it to proving that germs seek their natural habitat-diseased tissue rather than being the cause of diseased tissue…”

Chronic disease is simply the inability of acute reactions to reestablish homeostasis. Chronic diseases are those little or big complaints that refuse to go away on their own, no matter how patient you are or how hard you wish.

The important thing to remember is that, except for genetic problems, you body wants to return to its normal state. Since nutrients are our tools to heal and they get into the blood by proper diet, digestion and absorption, and excess toxins occur due to improper diet, digestion, absorption and elimination.

Thus, proper DIET+strong DIGESTION+ complete ABSORPTION= STRONG BLOOD+complete CIRCULATION+Efficient ELIMINATION= GOOD HEALTH 

In order to move away from DIS-EASE and back to EASE and Good HELATH it is essential to increase nutrients in the blood and decrease toxins. If this increased blood quality is strong enough and maintained long enough, then it may be possible to reverse even chronic disease.

Your body knows how to heal itself and wants to do it now. Have faith in it but also supply it with the proper physical tools
