Symptoms are not our enemy. Symptoms are the language our body uses to communicate to our conscious. I’ve heard many people state how much health or well-being they are enjoying because of their lack of symptoms. This couldn’t be farther from the truth. All of us have known people who are or were cancering. Years or months before the cancerous process was symptomatic, the body was processing the dis-ease. Would this person who is processing cancer, without symptoms, be considered healthy or in a state of well-being? Conversely, if you ate spoiled food and started vomiting, would you consider this person to be in a state of well-being? Symptoms DO NOT give us a gauge as to what level of health or well-being we are in – they can gives us an idea to the extent of dis-ease (not in all occasions). I remember when my mom called me to say that my 98 year old grandma had a fever and asked what they should do about it. I was thrilled! My grandma’s Innate Wisdom was still on the job and responding with a normal HEALTHY activity of fever to fight an infection. If she had symptoms like a runny nose and a sore throat or other colding symptoms with no fever response – I would’ve been worried. B.J. Palmer, the developer of chiropractic used to say, “Innate is on the job – leave it alone.”
So next time symptoms arise – ask yourself, “what is my body saying”, “is this a normal process”, “what would be the benefit of interfereing the normal process?”
It’s your body – you do what you want – I’m gonna let my body express it’s health and wisdom!
