Inflammation and disease

Inflammation and Disease

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.
