CONSIDER THIS..SOUND FAMILIAR?
The idea behind medicine is more than 2,500 years old and, like most ideas from behind the dark ages, it's very unscientific. The premise is that the body is like a machine that can be repaired by outside agencies.
The machine goes wrong because of invading entities. In ancient times these entities were evil spirits, demons, and devils which had to be exorcised. By and by these evil spirits became known as little beasties called microbes, germs, bacteria, viruses, and yet other appellations.
Medicine today has the concept of "cure," a word that has been perverted from the original of "care." Medicine itself means a curative or healing substance. The idea behind the use of medicine is that the "medicine" acts within the organism, that it seeks out the trouble, routs the invaders and effects in some manner the necessary healing. The medical concept of the modus operandi of drugs which they call medicines is very hazy at best. But medicine is the harmful practices that men do to try to help ailing people.
People go to physicians for medical intervention. They want to get "fixed up." They're ailing. Something must be done lest they suffer grave consequences or death. Medical practitioners take advantage of the clients—they play upon their fears.
They applaud their clients for coming to them when they did. They flatter them for this bit of "wisdom" and assure them that, if they do not do something soon, grave dangers will ensue. The medical man always has a course of treatment to suggest, invariably a prescription of drugs and tests.
The idea is that the tests will reveal what is wrong and thereby determine what drugs to prescribe or what steps to take, as in surgery.
That their beliefs and practices are, on the whole, precisely contrary to biological science seems never to enter their minds. There is no healing other than self-healing. All modalities can interfere with healing but none can aid healing.
Now Consider..
CURES DO NOT FURNISH THE NEEDS OF LIFE
To be returned to health the body must be provided with its requirements. First, those substances, influences, and practices which beget illnesses and disease must be discontinued.
Secondly, it is necessary to bring to the client the essentials of health. Very simply these are pure air, pure water, correct diet, sunshine, exercise or wholesome activity, adequate rest and sleep, emotional poise, security of life and its means and yet other factor elements and influences.
If you reflect upon medical procedures it is obvious they do not try to ascertain causes that are inherent in lifestyle and practices.
They do what an auto mechanic does—they try to find out which cylinder is missing and then proceed as if the body can be repaired much in the manner of a vehicle.
They rarely advise about practices and beliefs which cause problems. Since most medical men are financially oriented, it is wise that they do not teach correct habits. They'd be out of business if their clients became well.
The New Medical Professional..
Unless the doctors of today become the dieticians of tomorrow,
the dieticians of today will become the doctors of tomorrow.
Alexis Carrel, Nobel Prize Winner--Man the Unknown (1935)
Prescription Drugs..
Very simply, drugs destroy. They never build. It is not within the province of drugs to create cells and replace body tissue. Medical men would be the first to tell you this for they've studied physiology too. But yet they act as if their drugs perform some kind of magic that will effect healing.
What do drugs, when administered, really do?
In truth, drugs do nothing other than form chemical unions with body compounds and fluids. When these chemical unions occur, the body suffers distress.
When the character of a substance is determined as harmful by the body, it goes into a frenzy. When it does this, it is stimulated. Sometimes the body has a reaction of depression in which case it is sedated or narcotized. This means function has been inhibited or paralyzed. In both cases the reaction is one of self-protection against an unwelcome intruder, in this case a poison even though it is called a medicine.
In causing an emergency in the body, drugs are harmful. The body must redirect its energies from the healing process which it is conducting. The symptoms for which the drugs or medicines are administered are evidences of the body's self-conducted healing process.
When drugs are ingested or injected, the body must leave off partially or wholly the cleansing/healing efforts and attend to a greater threat which the drugs represent. When healing efforts are discontinued the symptoms disappear.
Physicians interpret the disappearance of symptoms as a "cure" or a healed condition. They thus mistake drug or poison effects for healing effects.
In reality the body has more problems than before. For now it has, additional to its prior problems, the problem of expelling a terrible poison too.
In Conclusion..
Folks, Healing always takes place to the extent of residual healing potential when causes are discontinued and the conditions of health instituted.
