What can your body fix?
...and is there much it can’t fix?
In these times of propaganda and deception, we have been brainwashed to think our bodies need to have some kind of intervention so they can fix a problem.
In fact, we have been so brainwashed that we jump to act immediately, perhaps driven by the thought that any inaction might just make any bodily issue worse.
And yet as the terrain view describes, the symptom you see as a problem is just a downstream event and invariably is the body’s attempt to sort things out.
But let’s stop and think a while about some things that plainly prove the body can deal with most things on its own. And as such, the symptom should be seen as this process in action.
If you get a cold, ranging from a tickly cough or snuffle to a full-blown feverish flu, if you do nothing (as I always do nothing) it always goes away. Hence the cold or fever was obviously created by the body and so the symptom subsided when the job was completed and not because the body successfully defeated some invading microbe.
The brainwashing suggests, you caught it from someone, you can pass it on to someone and if you do nothing it will most surely progress into double pneumonia with multiple complications and certain death.
What about things way more dreadful than a mere cold?
I have personally known folks who have had chikungunya which is supposed to be a viral tropical disease allegedly spread by mosquitoes. It is doubtless very unpleasant and these people all said they felt dreadful for a few days. But nothing was required to be done in order for their bodies to overcome this unaided. I never asked, but they might have taken paracetamol or something similar but this would not have been a cure and simply would have been an attempt to alleviate some symptoms which possibly then only prolonged matters.
Note: Chikungunya and dengue fever are very similar and are quite possibly two names for the exact same thing which is a common tactic used usually to justify two vaccines or swap the diagnosis of those stricken between types for nefarious reasons. More laughable is dengue fever coming in 4 flavours — so caused by four distinct viruses known as DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4 which I guess you have to tick-off on a loyalty card as you catch them since getting one type doesn’t stop you getting another type.
If you get a headache and do nothing it always goes away perfectly well on its own without aspirin or similar. Do you ever try this or do you immediately reach for the pills?
If you massively over eat or you eat something your body objects to, you could well throw up. So your body has dealt with the problem and you didn’t even need to intervene to make yourself throw up. Invariably after throwing up you will feel much better. And equally drinking alcohol to excess with a resulting hangover will pass unaided after just long enough to make you say: “I will never drink again”.
The same applies to sea sickness, car sickness or air sickness once the rolling motion stops, you feel better as if by magic without intervention. Quite why the body sees the need to make you expel your stomach contents into a paper bag in this scenario is frankly puzzling but doubtless it will be of some benefit.
Taking digestive matters to the other end, raging diarrhoea will invariably sort itself even if you might have to rest for a while and sensibly maintain fluids or electrolytes which the unfortunate interlude might have depleted.
Burns deliver a blister just as an unusual rubbing action might also do. This water or air-filled skin cushion appeared without pharmaceutical intervention as a means to help and will equally disappear without you needing to do anything other than learning not to burn yourself again or to perhaps desist with whatever was rubbing you. If it got caused by unusual work or badly fitting shoes you can expect the skin to harden up in that place to protect it against a recurrence …as if by magic.
By taking it easy initially when you enter an area of intense sunshine your skin will react by going brown to protect you from burning. I lived for a quite while in the very strong sunshine of the tropical Caribbean and I never once needed or used sunscreen.
If you get cold you shiver and if you get overheated you sweat both of which are designed to restore your temperature without any pharmaceutical intervention.
Overdo things and you might strain a muscle or it aches or swells and this tells you to slow down and take it easy. When you do so the problem resolves itself.
Some other things that go away or sort themselves unaided:
cuts,
bruises,
scratches,
splinters,
sore throat,
mouth ulcers,
indigestion,
banged head swelling,
warts,
cracked ribs, and more besides.
Obviously a broken limb might mend itself unfavourably positioned so I’m not saying intervention is never required.
Also of course the illness and symptom episode may be as a result of some toxic exposure so you need to consider identifying and dealing with this assault.
All too often we rush to intervene and never allow the body to manage for itself. And when we are prescribed some pharmaceutical product this is quite likely to be just another poison for the body to then try and deal with, often resulting in a new illness known as a side-effect.
The result of all this is that we forget our body has the capability to mend itself and it has always had this capability ‘baked-in’ from thousands of years of evolution or ‘designed-in’ by a creator if that is your bag.
