Re: Cindy: The body healing itself

[Guest guest]

Hi Joanne,

In Bee's forum today, Alison made some good comments(re-colon inflamed) about

the body healing. Although pain seems to be connected to healing and detoxing

now, it is not as if God made us this way entirely. In Genesis, it was only

after Adam and Eve sinned, God said Eve would have pain when she bore children.

Our bodies are just imperfect now. Still we cannot try to suppress or avoid all

those healing reactions. Also pain is a warning, like to avoid fire, or a cut,

or such, and could be warning us to avoid certain foods, chemicals. Maybe people

with fibro their bodies are better at giving warnings. But still, our bodies

are not perfect now, so we cannot always avoid all pain and discomfort.

About drugs, foods, sugar, and our conscience, and whether to talk about sugar

to people--It is a hard thing to come to terms with regarding ourselves, and

others conscience.

God remembers that we are dust Ps 103:14. His word is progressive, in what he

reveals to us/what we are able to handle at the time. Proverbs 4:18,

16:12. Some thing may not have been required early on, but some like the

Nazarites gave up wine, and strong drink and were blessed, and commended. Amos

2;11, 12 commented too, how bad ones offered wine to them.

We know following Bible principles would not allow us to take drugs for

pleasure. Some plants highly processed can turn into drugs-such as cocaine, and

even some herbs and spices in small doses can be ok, but larger amounts can

cause problems, and damage to the body. Nutmeg in very small doses can relax

you, but a larger amount will give you hallucinations. As for Bible principals

related to doing anything that we know damages our bodies- 2 Corinthians 7:1,

Titus 2: 11, 12, Galatians 5:19-21, 2 Tim. 3: 1-5(are we lovers of pleasure)

We have to respect others conscience, as well as try to be understanding, and

not demand of ourselves or others something God as not said is an unforgivable

sin. As for sugar, it is true it is highly processed, and does make us sick,

but at the present time, we cannot say it is the same as taking drugs. We may

see something someone does is hurting them,and we may struggle too to eat

perfect, but God can forgive those, and us. Gods people as a rule, are at least

trying to live by Bible principles, and do what is best for their bodies, and

will encourage others to do better. Awake! magazine had a good article o " 5 keys

to better health " and one was eating more " real " foods like people ate

millenniums ago instead of modern processed food. Part of the article was

motivating yourself and others. March 2011. It took the view about the benefits,

but brought out how hard it was to change. I am sure God hates to see us

suffer, and the better we follow his laws and principles, the better off we will

be. Our spirituality is the most important thing, in that it will spill over

into all other areas, and improve those. Your posts seem to be along the same

lines.

for me, like most people I tohught pain is pain, irritation is irritation and

dicomfort is discomfort and all needed to be eliminated!!!!!

> I did not know that often pain, irritation, discomfort is often the bodies way

of communicating to the self and that if the self listens the self can take

action and improve things.

self should do to improve things

> I did not know that the immune system has its own wisdom, its own intellect if

you like and that independently from what I know or believe is correct the immue

systemoperates under its own rules. I did not know that what I allow into my

body can either facilitate the ability of my immune system to heal me, or can

hinder it.

>  

> As I began to realise this I still did not know what was best to do. I had

never been taught much about how the body heals itself and I had nobody in my

daily life that could tell me any of this. The only folk I new that new anything

about any of this were the people here on this site, Bee, and the folk on her

site, and over time other folk like Dr Mercola, Croxton, Taubes, Sally

Fallon, Natasha -McBride and Donna Gates.

>  

> It was hard, hard for me to get my head around this self healing ideology. It

felt like a tall order. I needed to change my diet, not just change it but

change it in such a manner that was pretty alian to me, high fat diet, I had

never heard of it, and when folk told me eating this way could be safe I had my

doubts.

>  

> As I studies the body, the immune system and how it operates witthe the other

systems in the body a lot of what these writers above were saying began to make

sense> I new I could not learn everything that these people new at that stage

but what I clicked on to early on was that a good diet helps the digestive

system, the detox system and the nervous system, and for my i was certain these

three systems needed to be well so that my immune ststem could heal all these

zillion and one things that were wrong with me

> For a time I struggled because I was still struggling with a lot of emotional

issues. Fortunately I had Alanon and Church to help me with that. Even folk at

church and Alanon did not really get why I needed to do this diet so strictly

and even they often pestered me to loosen up a bit with it. I resisted though

and I am glad I did because look at how well I am doing now

>  

> In addition to the diet, getting off my meds, giving up my addictions one of

the most important things I have had to work at and still work at is creating

for my inner self a wholesome spiritual life. Again this is not always easy. I

do by nature constantly want to help folk that are sufffering and can easily get

pulled by the nose into situations that are not safe for me. I have learned to

wiat on the Lord and His instructions regarding this. It is not easy for me to

hold back when I see folk suffering but I now see that me just living by the

seat of my backside, running in and being the saviour of the universe is not

good. In fact it is not my job and can be an insult to the Lord. The Lord has

plans for everybody and if I am there jumping in then this is my will, not His

will. so now when somebody askes for my help I ask God to show me if I should

proceed and how, and now that I do do this I do not land myself in a fration of

the bad situations I used

> to

>  

> I also focus primarily of my own soul, my own salvation. Folk may think this

sounds selfish and to be honest it does require a level of selfishness to ensure

I am focusing. But this is not a cruel selfishness it is a refreshing

selfishness since as I do take time out of my everyday life and spend quality

time with my Lord and with my inner self, I grow, and as I grow I have more to

give and the more I have to give the less I need to rely on the flok I give to

to give back to me. I can nowadays give to folk in my everyday life and not get

all upset when they are not as nice to me as I might hope for

>  

> This what I am describing in regarss to my spiritual life is what has brought

me inner peace and this inner peace is yet anothe factor that enables my immune

system to mend me. In the past when I lived with high anxiety, high alertness,

suppressed feelings, longings that were not being met, I was sad, deeply sad.

but little by little I have learned how to release the nots in my chest and

elsewhere and this too has releasese a lot of the inner energies that lead to

good health too
