Your Amazing Healing System
Despite great advances in medical research the Western World is beset with health problems associated with poor lifestyles of too much stress, too little exercise and poor diets. Our solution is to seek medical assistance from doctors, who tend to see the problem in isolation and provide quick-fix help in the form of pharmaceutical drugs, often with side effects that cause more problems.
The first step in achieving a return to good health, is recognising that we all should take responsibility for our own health, and decide that illnesses generally is nature's way of telling us that something is amiss and needs to be corrected. When disease occurs, if we assist our body's natural healing system to function, there is no reason why any condition cannot be cured.
Natural health is the normal state of our bodies and illness is unnatural. Our healing system is designed to keep the body in balance. The body knows how to heal itself as any cut or scrape will show as the natural healing system gets into action. Over time the body repairs itself and with new skin in place there is little evidence of any injury. Not only will our bodies repair skin injuries but will also heal any condition within the body, given the right circumstances. There are many examples of various diseases being completely cured when the body's all-powerful healing system is triggered and given the right tools.
These tools include nutrition, exercise, stress management and the right mental approach and belief that nothing cannot be cured. As long as we have breath, any condition can be healed. Research in this new field of natural health is uncovering many instances of miraculous healings.
There are many doctors who are now leading the research into the body's natural healing system, among them Dr Dean Ornish and Art Brownstein M.D. A pioneer in the field in New Zealand in the 1930's was Dr. Ulric Williams, who stated that when he forgot 95% of what he learned in medical school he was able to help patients with chronic medical conditions.
Dr Williams approach was to find what was the prime cause of the patient's condition and then get them to stop what they were doing and allow the natural healing system to repair the body. All of the above doctors recognise that the body works together with the soul and the spirit to bring about natural healing.
To help correct any disease we need to understand how our body functions and what we need to do to assist the natural healing system in action. Dr Art Brownstein's book Extraordinary Healing: The Amazing Power of Your Body's Secret Healing System is an excellent manual that gives an overview on the subject while Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease: The Only System Scientifically Proven to Reverse Heart Disease Without Drugs or Surgery relates to the biggest killer in the land. Both books give valuable information on how the body heals itself without the use of drugs or surgery and both come highly recommended. When the right conditions of exercise, diet and spirituality are applied it is amazing to see how the body heals itself.
