The Basic Methods of Healing

2010-01-02T19:42:00.000-08:00

Have you ever heard the names J.H Kellogg and John Tilden? well probably yes if you have been researching about the advocates of natural healing. J.H Kellogg is the advocate of of natural healing and the forerunner of water therapy while John Tilden focused on the natural remedies that we can use for various conditions. if you happen to read my posts below, it talks about the principles. and now we will be seeing the natural methods of healing.

those principles are little understood nowadays because we are now facing the era of complicated medicine.

if these principles we learn here will be applied and properly followed, can help you and your love ones for the rest of your lives.

so here are they...please note that these are recommended methods on assisting our body towards the healing process and an effective way of prevention.

Importance of proper care and diet

farmers grow plants in good soil. i guess that irrefutable. doing this will have them ahead of other farmers that are growing their crops on depleted lands. even pet owners who try to breed show animals feed them the right variety of foods to make them grow wonderfully. lucky for plants and those animals. but the moment we give contrast to our diet, whew i can't even say a word.

we almost forgot the importance of human nutrition. remember that the mind will be vigorous and achieve its greatest development when the body is well and good.

The Body's Self-Healing Mechanism

the human system is subject for wear and tear. meaning our body works even the most dreadful condition of the nature around it. but when diseases strikes, the regular functions are temporarily set aside and the body shifts its activities from development to rehabilitation. instead of using energy for digestion and muscle activity, our body focuses on cleansing, repair, and rebuilding. so if sick, stay in bed and have light meals.

disease is meant to be a friend not an enemy that we should fear of. disease signals our body that something is wrong and we should take break and rest. imagine us without the "alarm".

Lemon-water Fasting

heard of fasting ryt? well it is thought to be the abstinence from food for a couple of hours or days. water fasting is done by many who wanted to lose weight. but i guess the method of lemon-water fasting is far-off our ears.

this fast is generally consist of water and pure lemon or grape juice. it is not strictly a water fast because the latter is not as beneficial.

once the symptoms are present (fever and etc) it is advised that we should take this fast and when that symptom reside, then we can have light meals. the absence of symptoms may not be a sign that we are well but a signal that the sick person can start recuperation.

fasting provides physiological rest for us. meaning, instead of using energy for digestion our body can focus more on the repair of the damaged system.

our body can heal itself,if,only if, we permit it. so, work with the body not against it.

one thing,this methods lack the calories that the body will need for activity.don't worry healing process can goon smoothly even in that condition but physically,the person will be weak. so the fasting person should stay completely in bed.

Extra Warmth

while the sick person is fasting he needs extra warmth. the extremities usually get cold during fasting periods.it is therefore advised to provide him with a blanket. this is important but not always practiced in hospitals.

The avenues of elimination

during the healing process, the system goes into high gear in its efforts to eliminate the so-called poisons in our body. it must be aided in its efforts.

to do this,we must open the organs of elimination.

these are the avenues

the bowels- daily enemas or colonics are advised
the kidneys- abundance of water is highly advised
the lungs- so give a current of fresh air especially in the room of a sick person.
the skin- give daily baths!
spitting - uncommon isn't it? but this is found to be fifth method! both blood and the lymphatic system carry the impurities from diseased cells. both of then empties a part of its load to the right thoracic duct just behind the mouth so it can be spitted out as phlegm. so try spitting it rather swallowing it.

Light Exercises

as ive mentioned above rest is highly recommended for the sick. however a few,not straining movements are needed also.doing this helps the elimination of wastes in the respiratory tract and prevents further infection due to build up of secretions by mobilizing it. to do this, stretch the extremities like we do before work out.turning from side to side also helps! yes it can mobilize secretions and prevents bedsores.

Let us call this "the Did you know potion of my blog" hahahah. O.k, i know that some of you already know these things but still im sharing for the benefit of the doubt. (was that ryt?)

DID YOU KNOW THAT...

the smallest spider is the Samoan Moss Spider? it grows as big as the period at the end of this sentence.

on the average, 100 people die because of choking ballpoint pens every year?

stress disrupts the natural rhythm of the body's nervous system during various stages of sleep? the link between daytime stress and restless sleep is well-established. but scientists are still investing the exact ways. stresses sleepers are wake more often while thy're sleeping and have a fewer episodes of deep sleep.

the average person will drink 16,000 gallons of water in his or her lifetime?

if you slowly pour a handful of salt into a totally full glass of water, it will not overflow?. in fact the water level will go down.

Joseph Priestly was the one who discovered the eraser? in 1770, this English scientist was messing with a gum from a tree when he found out that it can actually remove pencil marks. he called it "rubber"

the largest blood donation yielded 12, 002 units of blood in just twelve hours? (a unit =450 ml) this equivalent to 67 bathtubs of blood!

our brains are still smarter than computers? today's supercomputers can store up to one trillion bits of information while our brain can store up to 1000 trillion bits of information?

amazed? well, stay posted for the next post of this "DID YOU KNOW" portion of my blog!

see yah!

The Basic Principles of Healing

2010-01-01T18:50:00.001-08:00

The basic principle upon which the modern medicine is based is twofold: poisoning and cutting. while in training physicians and nurses are taught that every drug is poisonous. that is why the caduceus-the symbol of medical profession embeds two twined serpents around a staff saying that too much of it can cause trouble. the poisons I've mentioned are in the form chemicals(pills) and radiation (x-rays and the such). the other method is cutting which means that once an organ has a defect and the chemical way is not effective then it should be cut out.

in great contrast with these. our body created by the Divine power of God is naturally equipped with mechanisms that are capable of restoring the body's natural rhythm once disrupted. here you will find an excerpt of the basic principles of healing written by the founder of Seventh-day Adventists and an advocate of Natural healing--Ellen G. White

so lets roll on these principles...

Principle I:

the solution is to teach the people. "the only hope of better things is in the education of the people in the right principles". let every physicians teach people that the restorative power is not ine the drugs but in nature.

Principle II

A disease is actually a cleansing process. disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from the violation of the laws of health.

Principle III

In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained. unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected. then nature (the body) is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities to establish right conditions in the system.

Principle IV

Here are 8 natural remedies. " pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water and the trust to the divine powers."

Principle V

Prevention is always better than treatment. health is to be preserved. it is far better to prevent the diseases than to know how to manage and treat it.

Principle VI

the mind must control the body, or the mind will lose control of itself. the body is the only medium through which the mind and the soul are developed for the up building of the character. hence it it is the adversary of souls that directs his temptations to the enfeebling and degrading of the physical powers.

Principle VII

Health is not by chance but a result of the obedience of the natural law.

Principle VIII

There are important laws in our life which governs every part of our body--our diet and behavior

Summing everything up, failure to understand and practice these principles and obey the laws of nature can have terrible effects which can reach far into the future--disease and infirmities. let us understand that once we weaken our health, we eventually weaken our mind and mental power thus altering every aspect of our lives.

Everyone can be a winner, if he is determined to control himself and practice the right principles.

i guess that is it for now. stay posted to my next post---THE BASIC METHODS OF HEALING.
