On Medicine and other disasters
"On the basis of what is known about the roles of the electrical,
magnetic, elastic, acoustic, thermal, gravitational and photonic
energies in living systems, it appears that there are many energetic
systems in the living body and many ways of influencing them. What we
refer to as the "living state" and as "health" are all of these systems,
both known and unknown, functioning collectively, cooperatively and
synergistically. The debate about whether there is such a thing as
"Healing Energy" or life force is being replaced with the study of the
interactions between the biological energy fields, structures and
functions.'' - James Oschman, PHD
"We are a multidimensional creation with coexisting 'bodies'...Our physical body is composed of matter; our subtle body is energy,
thought and emotions; and our causal body is a spiritual source of energy.
Health is the integration of all aspects of our being." -Mirka Knaster
""It is a wise mans part, rather to avoid sickness, than to wish for medicines.'"- Thomas More, Utopia
"The greatest mistake in the treatment of diseases is that there are physicians for the body and physicians for the soul, although the two cannot be separated." -Plato
"Treatment originates outside you; healing comes from within." -Andrew Weil, M.D.
"The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease." - William Osler
I have long wanted to write
on this subject, but knowing what controversy it might cause, I hesitated and
avoided it. But...finally.. here it is. My view on medicine.
First of all let me say
that I greatly respect the science that is at the base of modern medicine. It
was an incredible leap between the medicine of say, the Renaissance era, to
where we are now. With our superb technologies and understanding of how things
work. It's improved people's lives greatly, and extended them by many years.
People can now travel or just go to public places without the risk of
catching some lethal disease. Now that I got that out of the way...
Modern Medicine has lost
its way. In theory, it is a practice that serves to use science to understand
the human body, find causes of illnesses and cure them, or eliminate the possibility
of catching them altogether.
Great idea.. But
practically what do we have?
Chaos. Absolute chaos. And
capitalism. It's all about money. And as much as I hate to support the ''global
conspiracy'' theory of how the government is against us, in this case, I have
to say, they have a point:
Pills are replaced with
placebos. Doctors advertise medication. New medications are developed that are
similar in properties as heroin, to get people addicted to it. And when a
resistance is built up by the immune system, they reach for stronger, more
expensive drugs. Medicine is advertised and colored to be consumer-friendly.
There are pills for happiness. For any little twitch your body makes,
there is a pill to stop it. WE ARE SEDATING OUR BODIES INTO STUPIDITY.
Through illnesses our body
communicates with us. It's the only way it has!! So when your head hurts, as
yourself WHY, not just pop a pill and wait for it to go away.
One of the biggest problems
in Modern Medicine is that it is mostly targeted at treating the consequences
of illnesses, but not the causes.
And many people disagree
with me here. ''Of course it treats causes!"
Let me give a bit of an extreme example:
Extreme headache --> Tumor.
aka
Result --> Cause
Solution: cut it out.
Let me give a bit of an extreme example:
Extreme headache --> Tumor.
aka
Result --> Cause
Solution: cut it out.
NO. I want to ask you WHY
the tumor formed. WHY. It could have formed, it could have not. What factors
influenced it? And how do we eliminate these factors in the future? That is the
real cause.
I do not only blame doctors
for this. If people demanded real treatment, they would provide it I'm sure.
But people don't want it. They want a quick fix. They want to pop a pill and go
on watching TV and eating their french fries.
I believe in alternative
medicine, as it is labeled. By definition it is anything that does not fall
within the realm of ''conventional medicine''. It's something different. BUT
DIFFERENT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S WRONG.
The Body is such a complex
system. It is not a piece of living meat.
"each
and every cell in the body is not only intelligent, but conscious too, in the
sense that it can independently make decisions on the communications it sends
to other cells. There are approximately 10 trillion cells in the body. Yet each
of those cells signals, on average, to at least 10,000 other cells every
day." (http://reversethinking.typepad.com/weblog/2010/07/how-the-body-thinks.html)
I believe in the System of
Unity of Mind, Body and Spirit.
And before you give me that
cynical look, let me explain what I mean.
This is not some African
voodoo, ok?
It's so shocking to me to
hear that people, when asked about religion and God, are so passionate and full
of faith, but when asked about healing energies, auras, spirits or karma, look
at me like I come from a different planet.
SPIRITUALITY SHOULD NOT BE
SEPARATED FROM EVERYDAY LIFE.
If I got anything from
conventional religious teachings, its this: God is everywhere. God is in each of us.
So why is medicine so
separate from it? There is nothing spiritual in conventional medicine. Simply,
it's afraid of spirituality. Because when it has it's facts and experiments,
it's safe and protected. It's in control. But when it comes to spirituality,
it's walking on ice.
But its impossible to
separate the two! The Body is not a piece of meat, again. It has a physical,
intellectual AND spiritual side.
We are conscious beings. We
have souls. Does anyone doubt that? (If any of you do, please, then, tell me
what separates us from animals?)
Our Bodies have energy.
They give off energy. They use energy.. And this is not hippie bullshit, this
is real. ENERGY IS A TERM FROM PHYSICS. There are sooooo many PHDs from physics
that, at a certain point in their research, came to accept God and Energy.
HUMANS ARE NOT ALL KNOWING.
Just because there are things that we cannot explain, or do not understand, or
do not see physically, THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT THEY DONT EXIST.
For me, the most logical
thing of all is to say, that the unknown aspect of ''science'' is, actually,
what we call God. It's the unknown forces.
After all, centuries ago,
people didn't understand how weather worked, so they invented Gods to represent
forces of nature. Now they seem stupid to us, and primitive. So WHY, please
tell me, isn't it possible that we are primitive in our understandings as well?
When Galileo said that the
Earth wasn't the center of our galaxy, people called him insane. Why is
''different'' necessarily ''wrong'''?
Just because it's not
''conventional''? It hasn't been accepted by the masses so it doesn't deserve
to be considered? THINK.
My system is very
simple.
The body is strong and
intelligent enough to withstand any illness.
To sustain it in this
state, it must be healthy, both physically (eating organic, pure, healthy food,
drinking clean water, exercising regularly), intellectually (the mind must be
kept busy, and given enough rest) and spiritually (there must be harmony in our
souls.)
Any illness that arises
is a result of the failure of one of these systems.
Physical:
All the chemical, genetic
modifications, the dyes, the excess saturated fats have an EXTREMELY bad effect
on your body. How could they not? THINK. (Examples: Certain types of crops in
the US are sprayed with a special chemical to keep bugs away. And this chemical
is absorbed into the crop, and then eaten by us. IF BUGS DONT EAT THE CROPS, WHY
WOULD YOU? They are spraying them, literally, with POISON.)
The processing of food is
also a very important aspect to mention..
Do you honestly think the
0.3% fruit juice concentrate that you find in Fanta for example is the same as
drinking fresh orange juice?? Your body needs LIVE vitamins. Natural ones, so
it can use them. You're giving it dead, painted vitamins, that have been
chocked, beaten, then filled with bubbles and put into a plastic container.
Visual enough?
And as to cooking food.. should I even mention frying, or is it self-explanatory? Cooking a vegetable in boiling oil kills any minerals or vitamins that it had in it. It goes from being a vegetable... to something like a piece of plastic covered in crunchy oil, in terms of health value at least.
Intellectual:
If the mind isn't working,
it is rotting away. Violent video games, most television shows, most of the time- social networking sites, porn, even sometimes
magazines. They stupidify the mind, focusing it on consumerist values, sex, or
money.
As for sleep: Not getting enough rest
makes your mind exhausted so it cannot function properly. pretty straightforward.
Spiritual:
Now this is the most fun
one: Simply put: every person
has an aura, a sphere of energy around them, and this energy is not stable, it
is connected to the higher energies. Any time something goes wrong with the
harmony of energy, it corresponds to a certain point in our aura, and so, on
our body. It is very much connected to the asian system of chakras and the flow
of energy.
Every illness, pain, etc.
can be read and understood.
The right side of our body
represents the female side, the left- the male.
The throat corresponds to
the fifth chakra, Vishuddha,
the chakra of
communication.The feet – to material
possessions and concepts, such as money. The nose corresponds to pride. The
head- to our outlook on life and thoughts. And so on. (Research this in more
detail or ask me for references. A famous researcher on this subject was Luule
Viilma, an Estonian doctor)
All blockages in the flow of energy causes problems.
Any disturbance of energy, such as anger, jealously, hatred, etc. creates problems and eventually illnesses in the corresponding areas.
If your pride was hurt, you will get a runny nose, or catch the flu. If you
didn’t speak your mind – a sore throat. If you were angry with your father
about financial issues, you will accidentally drop a heavy object on your left
foot. Or it might spasm up and start hurting without a physical factor like dropping something on it. IT WORKS.
It may sound silly, but it truly works. And doctors something shrug their shoulders at such things, because such problems are not always deep enough to be seen on a materialistic level.
For
example, have you ever had pains, and went to the doctor and they couldn’t tell
you anything? They made scans, but they were clean. “There is nothing there,”
the doctor may have told you. “But what hurts then?” You ask in response.
In high school I would have
terrible, sharp pains in my lower stomach, on the left side. Similar to pains
of an infection in the appendix, but it was never that. Such pains, they would
come suddenly, and so sharply, that I wouldn’t be able to move, and would
sometimes loose consciousness. I went to all the doctors I could find. But in
the place where the pains were concentrated, THERE WAS NOTHING THERE. No organ,
nothing. Nothing could hurt there, because there was nothing there to hurt.
Doctors shrugged at me.
So, if I tell you it was a
block in my flow of energy, you may or may not believe me.
But as we follow this
system in my entire family, when I finished high school I took the initiation
into the system of Reiki healers. I am a first level Reiki healer. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reiki) And since
then I’ve never had the pains come back.
Also let me comment on something else: The idea that such illnesses as colds and the flu come from cold weather. Ok, this is just bullshit. What does the cold weather do to your body? Ok, it MAY challenge your immune system. So it's your bad immune system that gets you sick, not a little cold weather. Silly people! Why don't we have a similar sickness connected to very hot weather then? What's the difference, theyre both extremes? Think!!
And about the appendix-removing craze people have developed (to add to the wisdom teeth removal craze). It's so funny how medicine decided that some things in the body are just ''extra'' and should be cut out. ONLY LATER... they found out that the appendix isn't actually completely useless and generates some kind of hormone. HAHA! and I thought God was just silly and gave us an extra body part.. silly me..
When our hand hurts, is the first thing we think of that we have to cut it off???

Another aspect: The most terrible illness of our century is AIDS.
acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Acquired: not something we are born with
Immunodeficiency: having a weak immune system
Syndrome.
The worst illness of our time is a illness that kills the immune system. Ironic isn't it? Since our society is so good at doing that on it's own. With it's dead, plastic, colored food, drinks made of liquid sugar and food dye, cigarettes and alcohol (last two are self-explanatory), machines that do all the thinking and working instead of us, a system of financial slavery that makes everything too expensive, and makes us borrow money from the system in a way that it's physically impossible to return back, psychological stress, dirty, polluted air and water. What is the world coming to? And why do we allow this?
T.h.i.n.k.
Most of the time when something like
alternative medication is mentioned, people think of acupuncture, iridology,
yoga, herbs, etc. I could go into details about each of these and what amazing
techniques they are, but I will leave that researching to you, my readers. I
will let you take initiative and find some details on your own.. I will say
this:
The past 5 years I have cured all of my winter-related illnesses from
runny nose, to a severe flu in which I was in bed, too weak to stand up for 4
days straight and unable to eat, I cured them all with herbal teas. That is all
I will say.
Of course, to each their
own.
Ultimately, WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN WORKS FOR YOU. It’s true.
But I urge you to be open
to things, and consider this system. At least consider it.
At least the part of it
that says that health is not about pills and doctors, its about living life in
a healthy way, in touch with nature, and taking care of your body.
Your body is
the temple of your soul. It’s the only one you get in this life, so take care
of it.
Think. Be healthy.
The Beauty of Decepton
"The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy." -Yves Saint-Laurent
"When we lose twenty pounds, we may be losing the twenty best pounds we have! We may be losing the pounds that contain our genius, our humanity, our love and honesty." -Woody Allen
I have a confession to make.
We women completely openly
lie about ourselves. About the way we are naturally. All the time.
It's even considered
normal, expected. It's something good almost.
Yes I really am talking
about make up. But I mean it more than just mascara and lip
gloss, I mean the whole ''making yourself up'' bit. Hair, Coloring, Dieting,
Operations, etc. The whole package.
Yes Yes I know its a bit of
a step down from my usual global topics of love and yada yada,
but I really think I'm on
to something, so stay with me.
No, first let me mention
that what is considered being vain and ''girly'' is not such a easy, mundane
thing. If you care enough about your body, then simply taking care of yourself
becomes a large investment of both time, effort and money. It takes a lot of
trial and error, research and experiments to learn to get it right. And you
also have to spend extra time tending to the negative effects of all the
chemicals. By buying and applying more chemicals usually. My advice is go o
r g a n i c. It's good for you and for the environment. Besides, don't you
think nature knows best?
So now that I got that off
my chest...
As usual let's start with
the Why.
Q: Why so women wear make up/do their
hair/diet/get silicone injected into their body?
A: To seem more attractive.
Now on to the Who.
Q: For who do women do these things?
A1: For Men, or Women, or Both
(depending on sexual preference; this blog supports Love in all its
forms)
A2: For themselves
Now, let me just say that I
am a great supporter of A2, but honestly, if I dip deep down inside I know
that's a lie. Yes we can say we do it to feel more self confident, etc etc. But
why does it make us feel more self confident? Because we are aware, maybe
subconsciously, that we look good. But not just normal, puffy eyed,
clogged pored natural-beauty-type of good. We look better. And that is
what gives us that extra spring in our step, that extra boost.
The other thing about A2 is
we use it as a mask. It makes us feel safe, protected. Because we are following
'the rules', we fit in the system, and if we do, nothing can go wrong really.
Who can reject us if we're pretty? Right?
Wrong. But more about that
later..
Now, the real answer is A1.
And we all know it, no matter how much we may deny it. We want to be
attractive. Moreover we want to seem more attractive then we really
are. Why?
Because of competition. Because of the constant pressure from
unrealistic
standards set by ''them''. We know that our natural beauty can only be
appreciated by a few very close people. Everybody else just doesn't
want to see it.
We don't want the truth. We want perfection.
I'm pissed as much as the next girl that all those girls on magazine
covers are over photo shopped, liquefied and all that But would you
really want to see them on the cover with pimples, wrinkles and
cellulite? No. So we hate and whine about the system, but we are part
of it and we love it. We love the drama, the impossibility of the
standards. We can protest all we want, but people are
very easily zombified. Someone once decided that thin is beautiful and
it
all went downhill from there. Anorexia, Bulimia, Crash diets, Diet
Pills, Weight
Watchers, Fat free, low fat, light, sugar free. B. S. And
everyone went along with it. It may make you thinner (usually
temporarily), but it harms your body, which leads to faster exhaustion
and shorter life span. Priorities, people, please!
If God wanted us all to be
60-90-60 (European version), or 36-24-36 (US version) he would have made
us all equal, so to say.
Why is it not obvious to
everyone that our bodies are all different? Not using that as an excuse or
anything, but seriously..! Bone structure in every person is different..! For
example I have a pretty wide hips, so my ass will never measure 60 cm, I mean
in a healthy way. Why this obsession with numbers?
And another thing, muscles
weigh waaaaaaaaay more than fat does. So gaining muscle mass will virtually
make you seem ''fatter'' on the scale.
We got so obsessed with numbers and stuff that we actually invented psychological diseases that make women starve themselves to death. Something is very. very. very. wrong with our society.
Now onto a different point. Who said that being a size 0 is good anyway?
Designers. Why? Because it's easier to fit anything to a size 0. Not for any other reason.
Now, women, think about it. MEN LIKE CURVES. Haven't you noticed the whole ass-boob obsession?
Now
onto the most shocking point: when you loose weight, boobs are the
first thing to go, and last thing to fill out when you gain weight.
Fact.
Men don't notice small weight changes. Fact.
Men would rather a girl be a bit overweight than be bony anyway. When a girl is overly skinny she looses her femininity, which is the whole point of being a girl. And she looses her sense of humor. Sometimes even her will to live.
Of
course there are exceptions. Guys that love skinny girls. And girls who
are skinny naturally. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about
trying to change the way you should be to fit with the unrealistic
standards of today's world.
The worst thing is the misuse to the whole idea of the 'diet'.
Diet- (Wikipedia) the sum of the food consumed by an organism or group.
Dieting- (Wikipedia) the deliberate selection of food to control body weight or nutrient intake.
Don't
you see the distortion? A diet is a way of eating. Not a temporarily
way of torturing yourself into a desperate state of constant hunger.
This may produce results, but they will be only temporary. Once you're
off your 'diet' you'll go back to eating normally and gain everything
back.
Only way to stay at a certain healthy weight is to eat healthy,
regularly. All the time. It's a lifestyle.You have to believe in it.
Not just do it because its the right thing to do. Like any other lifestyle choice it requires a change of consciousness.
I've been dieting since I was nine years old. Fact.
I
was a bit overweight as a kid. Fact. But that is no excuse. I've been
doing better lately. But I still can't get rid of the feeling of guilt
after every meal. I don't let myself eat more often than every 5 hours,
so when I do eat I tend to stuff myself, since I know I won't let
myself eat anytime soon. That's messed up ok? Don't give in.
Your body needs calories to operate.
It needs fat for warmth, for oil for the skin, for joints and stuff.
Loosing a lot of weight also f'cks up your hormones. Which leads to the f'ing up of pretty much everything else.
Deny your body and all you'll get is health problems.
So just be healthy. Exercise. Not to loose weight, but just so your body functions better.
Your body is the temple of your soul. So take care of it.
Have
a well balanced diet. Balanced. Which means everything in rational
proportions. Rational by the way your body works, not how magazines
tell you to eat. Every body is different. Some people need to eat more,
some people need to eat often, some people need to eat a lot of a
certain type of food. Learn to read your body and you can't go wrong.
Don't give in to pressure. Love yourself and your body. If you don't love yourself, how do you expect other people to love you?
Be
happy, be confident. That often attracts people a lot more than
silicone boobs and tons of hair gel. Or at least the attention you get
will be the kind of attention that is good to have, not offers for sex
in the bathroom.
Yes Beauty is important, but it is not the most important thing. When it comes to these things, Health is the most important. Have the right priorities and be at peace with your own body and with the world.
