Toxicity, from various sources both internal and external, incurs cell death.
There is heat generated in
the rapid multiplication of replacement cells. When the cells repair a
breakdown in the organism ... the death of their co-workers ... they have to
sub-divide in order to do so. As they sub-divide, they not only generate heat,
but after repeated division get smaller, weaker. When we persist in subjecting
the body to unceasing attack by toxins, they support and increase this inflammatory
process. The cells are over-taxed, and at
a critical point they revolt. You are now the enemy. Cells are revolting against a rotten government. They no longer
take orders from the nervous system, they cut off the nerve supply. They become
recidivist, primitive, monocellular entities, taking orders only from
themselves. The nervous system is blocked, but they carry on being fed by the
bloodstream. And the revolutionary group grows. Ungovernable by normal nerve
stimuli, they multiply out of control.
There is all the information necessary in each one of the body's
cells to produce a clone of the whole body, but because of the pressure being
exerted on them by you, the host, they carry on in insularity. They divide through
their self-motivated, primitive method of sugar dependent fermentation. No
longer do they share in the vital economy of the body.
Inflammation may arise
through radiation, toxins, or lack of nutrition. Toxins may be introduced through
the skin, the lungs or with the food we consume. Or, just as significantly,
through stress.
Western thought has, in relatively recent history, been
materialistically biased, and doesn't take into account that toxic emotions also
generate toxic body impulses. If we consider that we have our being in a
continuum of energy from which thought, feeling and physical body all derive,
it is not difficult to appreciate that one form of energy can affect another. Every
idea in the mind is attended by a halo of emotion, and it is this emotion which
affects the gross material body. The psyche affects the soma, hence the word psycho-somatic. Modern psychologists
label this phenomenon as stress. Stress pulls things apart, strain compresses
them.
Toxic stress therefore can be the reason for chronic
degenerative disease. It might be useful to continue to bear in mind, that as
stress also produces toxicity, although you may have succeeded in eliminating
all other sources of poison, if you are still the bearer of toxic stress, then
conditions remain for a disease to continue unabated. Stresses may derive through environmental factors or they may even have been
ancestrally donated to you, via intervening generations.
In the Twentieth Century we have seen the material basis of
reality seriously questioned and finally, with the detonating of the atomic
bomb, matter has been demonstrated to be mass-energy. If we therefore posit
that our reality, whatever it is, has, as its first manifestation, energy, we embark
from a useful premise.
... now we are bad governors. Like idiots we attacks the
revolt, the cancer, like a foolish government attacks a rebellious people. We
see very much the devastating results of this unintelligent approach with a certain
middle eastern government today which attempts to convert its people by
poisoning them.
As above, so below, as
within, so without, as the universe, so the soul, is a saying attributed to
the hermetic philosopher Hermes Trismegistus. When
emotions, ideas and impulses disagree, affecting body chemistry, or when other
forms of toxicity are introduced into the body, it becomes the battlefield, and
at its own level, microscopic examination reveals just as much devastation.
We squirt things into our organism, killing it with treatment.
We radiate it, laser it, but the one thing we don’t do is give up the bad
government.
But then, grossly dissatisfied with the way things are
going, the damage being done, if the treatment we give the body is too noxious,
there can come a time when we are thrown back onto our own centre, the centre
of higher intelligence. From this centre, we can start behaving ourselves
better and the government improves. Diet, exercise, emotional patterns and
habits change. With the absence of toxicity and the increase of nutrition, cancer
cells abandon their takeover bid and once again begin to co-operate.
When the focus is placed whole-heartedly on an intelligent
solution to the problem, the universe opens up its ocean of possibilities. The
person of religious persuasion might call it God showing the way. Another may
call it cosmic ordering. It lies for me in the mystery of unfolding in the
body, and in our intimate connection with the universal field of power which,
with our help, works to bring us back to full health.
Without detoxifying the body
and inhibiting the source of toxins, the inflammation continues furiously. And without
providing the body with the nutrition that has been depleted, there is no
longer the arsenal of chemistry it needs in order to deal efficiently with what
emerges as disease. The capacity of the body's central intelligence ceases to
be able to deal with the disease. It's one of the reasons why the majority of
people in the western world have congested livers. It is no coincidence that this
organ, so important to life, is called the liver. Livers are so wonderfully
efficient that they can still operate effectively until their functionality is
reduced to 30%. It is below this point that serious illness begins to set in.
A young child suffers a fever
one day and the next it has abruptly gone, as quickly as it came. This exhibits
the strength of the child's vitality. Interfere with the healing crisis — characterised
by the inflammation — with the introduction of drugs, then vitality is reduced, and
the energetic auto-immune system's efforts to deal with the healing crisis is compromised. Drugs per
se do not heal, they treat symptoms, and often they drive the symptoms
deeper into the body. The child's inflammation is a symptom of its auto-immune
system's development. Better to treat fevers in the first instance with cool
baths, castor oil packs, homoeopathy and the herbal remedies that our bodies
have evolved to sympathetically accept. Aid the developing immune system
instead of taking away its effectiveness.
