The human body is amazing. Often misunderstood, because of the way most people interpret feeling bad, is the way the body seeks to heal and add quality years to the particular person involved. Termed the Healing Crisis, it is the bodys attempt to throw off toxicity and get the rest imperative for healing.
Colds and influenza is actually the body's attempt to cleanse. Working with that process means rest and lots of fluids. Unknown to many frequenters of fast food chains, symptoms that appear as flu-like for them are really food poisoning.
During anytime of healing, even in the case of serious illnesses, cleansing the body with organic juicing or supervised water fasting (not recommended without support) colon hydro-therapy or other safe, time tested and success proven methods are suggested to work along with the natural process of the body.
Healing crises occur naturally throughout a person's life. Some person's experience colds and flu more simply because they can use the clean out. Sometimes a cleanse may be prompted by a new healthier eating regime; and even this type of cleanse should be regarded as sacred time out, with rest and nurturing.
The healing crisis may not feel great; however, it can add years to life. When symptoms are merely suppressed with medication and one goes on with what one must do without needed rest, the need for the cleanse does not disappear. In fact rather than being so close to the surface, the cause dives deeper; and unresolved, what the body wanted to rid itself of will gain power and become serious illness in years to come.
Why must it feel so bad? Many people dont have the tolerance for feeling badly. It can feel better to suppress messages and healing processes rather than accept opportunities to throw off toxicity. The majority of society feels that way; and, it becomes their mindset because of the messages sent via television, pharmaceutical companies and certain parental advisement.
Truthfully it does seem that healing wants to present itself during a busy schedule, stressful time, or when that certain deadline must be met. In brief, the body under stress also has a weaker immune system. Too much stress taxes the immune system.
To recap, the healing crisis which can feel like influenza, have coughing fits, headaches, diarrhea, skin eruptions etc. is a naturally occurring attempt on the bodys part to heal and spring clean. The alternative to resting and working with the body is to stop the process, which will only suppress the toxic material in the body.
What to do if you are in a crisis and you make the smart decision to go with the flow and support your body? Take as much rest as possible. Buy or use your juicer. Drink at least a quart of fresh juice a day. Get a book that gives you juice recommendations. Eat only food that has a natural earth color; in other words, no fast food, nothing white, no dairy and no meat, no breads. If you have to work, use as much emotional detachment as possible. You can still go home and go right to bed. Eat sparingly and get lots of fresh juices and pure water.
The above are easy and inexpensive alternatives to staying sick or suppression through medication. If youre a bit more ambitious you can get colonics, delve into traditional uses of herbal combinations, see a naturopath, get body work and join an on-line or local community support group.
Like everything in life healing crises are cyclical. If you are recovering from cancer or other life threatening illness, plan on healing and cleansing naturally several times a year, stay on your food regime and find a nutritional and naturopathic accountability coach. You will need to do this for support.
Please be advised, if you are under a doctors care for any life threatening illness you should ask for assistance in determining difference between normal body healing and an acute but life threatening attack. It is also notable that the body will never recover from a chronic disease without the healing crisis.
The High Intelligence within each body is such a miracle and should not be dulled or minimized, cannot be quantified in absolute terms and can be trusted. It is your gift to be well and get well naturally. Rely on your own judgment in this regard and take back control of your body. Making your own decisions and trusting your body is the first part of healing from within.
