RE: WARNING! Do Not Go To The Doctor
I don't come out and say it as strongly as you do here to most people because I'm afraid to, but I feel exactly as you do. Medical doctor if I fall out of a tree or something, but I would never go to one otherwise. I'll tell you what, I don't even believe in the paradigm of diagnosis. It scares me to type that. People will think I'm crazy, as they believe medicine and disease are literally fact. But they're not. People take these things that happen to people and then assign a label to it, and it becomes a whole very complex paradigm that people ascribe their whole entire lives to. It's destructive as hell. My head isn't right right here, this area of my body isn't acting right - this is the way to go about it. We just need to restore and heal. Just being diagnosed with a disease kills. It is completely destructive.
You said food is the root. I'm going to say that I think emotion, trauma, belief, energy is the root. Blocked energy. Repressed emotions. When our heart has problems it's because it's not getting the energy it needs. When flow is open there and it's not repressed and blocked off, then you can get the signal of it asking for a specific food, for you to quit drinking, etc. I want to share with you the post I wrote called You Are Your Own Healer. You Can Heal Anything.
I think you're right about the perils of labeling some blobby development of symptoms with a definitive name, spelling it out and sealing it with the designation of a made-up disease. It's very much like being put under a spell and cursed. A curse you went shopping for and paid for!
I remember when I was a kid and the doctor said I had heart problems and what not; I'm pretty sure my childish indifference and inattention in that case helped guarantee that none of that would ever turn out to be true.
I certainly think that our thoughts and emotions are at the core of things, setting things in motion, shaping our point of view and critical in deciding what foods we eat. We're much less likely to poison ourselves with bad food choices if we loved ourselves deep down. Thanks for linking your post to me; I'll be sure to check it out :)
Wow that is really incredible to me. It's really good for me to hear. Validation from another person helps with maybe even a little evidence when you're so far outside of mainstream belief.
Here's something my Chiropractor said to me when my friends and I were trying to figure out if what we had caught was pnemonia:
Di = two
gnosis = to know
So two people don't know you or the doctor.
And here's another thing his teacher said to a diagnosis "pre-cancerous cells": "how does the doctor know they're pre-cancerous cells, and not cells that are healing?"!
I've never been to a Chinese doctor before, but from the little bit I do know about it, Chinese medicine seems like very sound science.
I met a woman one time who taught pre-med students. And she told us that the current way of doing medicine is completely out of the door. The newest students are practicing this new, more modern form of medicine that looks at the body as a whole. I can't remember what she called it, but she said if we ever have to go to a doctor it's pretty safe to go to them. I think it starts with an A?
