The Mind Body Connection - How it works.

[Guest guest]

The Mind Body Connection

Jon Barron The Mind Body Connection Recently (January 13th), I was interviewed

on the Health Trends Show on AdviceRadio.com. The focus of the interview was the

connection between the mind and body. The interview reminded me that one of the

most important chapters in Lessons from the Miracle Doctors (and probably one of

the most ignored) is Chapter 15, The Thought that Kills. (You can download a

free copy at www.jonbarron.org.)

For years stress and/or depression have been suspected of somehow increasing

the risk of contracting numerous infectious diseases. In addition, there is

mounting statistical evidence that increased levels of stress and depression

also correlate with an increased incidence of cancer. There is even strong

statistical evidence linking stress and depression with death itself. In fact,

there is now a field of research called psychoneuroimmunology (complete with its

own organization and website) that is dedicated to unlocking the connection

between our thoughts (i.e. our nervous systems) and our immune systems.

Researchers have discovered several key links between these systems:

 

For one, we know that when we are stressed, our bodies produce more

adrenaline and cortisol. And while it is true that these hormones help mobilize

the body's energy reserves to aid in dealing with the stress, this " service "

does not come free of charge. Your body has a finite amount of resources, and

when the resources allotted to stress are increased, they must correspondingly

be decreased someplace else, and that someplace else is your immune system. As

the output of adrenaline and cortisol are increased, the body compensates for

the energy expenditure by decreasing the amount of energy available to your

immune system. As a result, the number of antibodies in your immune system drop

and both the number and strength of lymphocytes in your immune system also

diminish.

We have also learned that the brain is directly wired to the organs of the

immune system (the spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and bone marrow) and that stress

and depression affect their performance.

But most interesting of all is the connection between the neuropeptides

produced by brain cells and the rest of the body. In much the same way that the

immune system uses the interleukins to communicate with itself, the brain uses

the hormone-like neuropeptides to communicate with itself and the rest of the

body, including the immune system. When we are happy, for example, the brain

produces one kind of neuropeptide. The cells of the immune system have specific

receptor sites for these " up " chemicals. Once received and locked into the

receptor sites, these neuropeptides literally cause the cells of the immune

system to strengthen and build. Correspondingly, when we are depressed, we

produce a different set of neuropeptides. Immune cells also have specific

receptors for these " down " communicators, whose net effect on the immune system

is to shut it down.

Incidentally, this is by no means a one-way communication. The cells of the

brain have receptor sites for the interleukins and interferon produced by the

lymphocytes of the immune system. That's right. It turns out that some

macrophages and activated lymphocytes actually are capable of producing their

own neuropeptides to communicate directly back to the brain in its own language.

The communication is bi-directional, constant, and total.

This is truly revolutionary information.

Basically, through both our nervous systems (direct wiring) and our

circulatory systems (hormones and neuropeptides), our minds interact with every

organ, system, and cell in our bodies, affecting the performance, functioning,

growth, and repair of our:

 

Immune systems

Bones

Bone marrow

Glands

Heart (everything from heart rate to the heart tissue itself)

The walls of our veins and arteries

The functioning of individual cells in the body

Even the very structure of our DNA

The entire body is literally created and run by the brain -- with equal input

back from the organs and cells themselves, again through both the direct wired

connections of the nervous system and the neuropeptides and hormones traveling

through the circulatory system. The net result is that in addition to what

medical researchers have been able to verify and explain, there are a number of

" incidents " that hint at so much more.

 

A group of medical researchers in Montreal tracked 222 post heart attack

victims, both men and women. The researchers found that those who were depressed

(who felt sad, hopeless, and listless) were more likely to die of another heart

attack within 18 months of their first heart attack than those who were not --

10 times more likely, in fact.

The January 95 issue of the American Journal of Medicine reported on a study

of patients with a history of heart disease that found that those who were

depressed were eight times more likely to develop potentially deadly heart

rhythms than those who were not depressed.

A ten-year study was conducted to follow the mortality rates of people who

had experienced stroke. Those who had been diagnosed with either major or minor

depression were 3.4 times as likely to have died within the follow-up period.

The death rate among depressed patients with few social contacts was especially

high -- over 90%!

In a study of 194 heart attack patients, those who reported lower amounts of

emotional support were nearly 3 times more likely to die within 6 months than

those with higher levels of emotional support.

And then there is one of my favorite statistics. Have you ever wondered when

most people die? Statistically, it turns out that people are more likely to die

on Monday morning before going to work than at any other time of the week. There

has been much speculation as to why this happens; but in general, most people

agree it's something along the lines of: " Most people have heart attacks on

Monday morning, because they are stressed that they are heading back to jobs

they can't stand after a weekend off. "

Stress Stress is your body's response to all of the demands made upon it.

Your body responds to all stresses, both positive and negative, by trying to get

back to normal.

 

43% of all adults suffer adverse health effects due to stress.

75-90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress-related

complaints or disorders.

When a stressor is perceived, the hypothalamus triggers your adrenal glands to

release corticosteroids to increase metabolism to provide an immediate increase

in energy. Simultaneously, your pituitary releases a hormone called ACTH, which

causes your adrenal glands to release epinephrine and norepinephrine, which work

to prolong your body's fight-or-flight response.

If a stressful situation goes on for too long without any relief, you may feel

tired, irritable, depressed, or anxious. You may have trouble sleeping or

eating, or you might experience diseases and disorders, such as headaches,

insomnia, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular and kidney diseases, colds,

ulcers, asthma, heart attack, and/or stroke.

 

Stress has been linked to all the leading causes of death, including heart

disease, cancer, lung ailments, accidents, cirrhosis, and suicide.

Stress is said to be responsible for more than half of the 550 million

workdays lost annually because of absenteeism.

Eventually, your body's energy reserves are exhausted; it breaks down. Recent

research has confirmed the role of stress in cardiovascular disease, cancer,

gastrointestinal, skin, neurologic and emotional disorders, and a host of

disorders linked to immune system disturbances, ranging from the common cold and

herpes, to arthritis, cancer, and AIDS.

Depression Depression works on your body in different ways than stress, but

the results are the same.

Your body is a product of your thoughts. As we mentioned earlier, the cells of

your body have receptor sites for the various neuro-hormones you produce. Your

immune cells, to use just one example, have receptor sites for each of those

bio-chemicals. When you are happy, you produce a set of neuro-hormones that are

picked up by the cells of your immune system. These particular neuro-hormones

tell your immune system to jack up -- which it does. In other words, happy

thoughts improve your health. However, when you are depressed, the opposite

happens. The neuro-hormones your body produces literally shut down your immune

system. In effect, negative thoughts can actually kill you.

The Pharmaceutical Solution Prozac The major pharmaceutical companies, as

usual, have developed a set of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake

inhibitors (SSRIs) to " manage the symptoms " associated with stress and

depression. You might know them as Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Effexor

and Serzone.

Thanks to millions and millions of dollars in promotion, some misguided books

that jumped on the bandwagon, and our own marvelous tendency to believe in magic

bullets, we have become a " Prozac Nation. "

But not without cost.

 

SSRIs cause mania and delusions of grandeur in one out of every 25 children

taking the drugs.

A tendency to violence has been reported in 1 out of 16 Prozac users.

In 70% of all murder/suicides involving women and children, the women were on

SSRIs.

Conclusion During the interview, I was asked if I thought all illness was

created first in the mind. My response is that although on a metaphysical level,

you might be able to make that case, in practical terms it doesn’t really apply.

For example, it’s hard to ask a baby born with a serious illness, " Why are you

making yourself sick? " Yes, there is a direct connection between the mind and

the body, and the mind certainly influences the health of the body, but it is by

no means the sole arbiter of disease. The connection is not that simple -- and

in fact, the body is as likely to influence the mind, as the mind the body.

Nonetheless, we are left with the fact that what we think (and how we think)

does absolutely (and unequivocally) affect our health. Or as Dr. John

Christopher, one of America's foremost naturopaths, was fond of saying, " Most

people need a colonic between the ears. "

The bottom line is that if you want to make your mind your partner in health,

you need to work at it. It takes work to move your mind out of stress and/or

depression.

The entire Baseline of Health program is obviously beneficial.

 

If you are constipated, it makes you feel " off. " Feel " off " long enough, it

leads to depression.

If you are undernourished, it leaves you feeling exhausted. Prolonged

exhaustion not only leads to depression, it stresses the body.

Excess free radicals stress the body, and in a marvelous feedback system that

very stress creates a cascade of ever increasing free radicals.

Hormonal imbalances stress the body.

Exercise creates happy biochemicals that relieve stress. (But of course, too

much exercise increases stress.)

Etc.

Etc.

The bottom line is that you're only as strong as your weakest link so you need

to do it all to overcome stress and depression.

On the other hand, everyone wants the quick fix. So while you're doing the

Baseline of Health and rebuilding yourself from the ground up, here are five

steps to help you begin the process.

 

Learn to Meditate. If nothing else, just try watching your breath. Sit down.

Keep your back straight. Close your eyes and watch your breath. Watch as your

breath goes in and your lungs fill. Watch as it goes out and your lungs empty.

Don't force; just watch.

Learn to Visualize. After you've meditated for a few minutes and calmed down,

practice a visualization. See your body as made of healing light. Imagine the

light penetrating and healing every cell in your body. If you are sick, focus

the light on the diseased area.

Practice Affirmation. What we say matters. We all know, for example, someone

who uses the word " afraid " all the time. As in:

" I'm afraid I won't be able to go tonight. "

" I'm afraid I've eaten too much; I'm absolutely stuffed. "

" I'm afraid I'm almost out of gas. "

etc.

Is it any wonder that eventually they're afraid all the time? And then there are

the examples that Dr. Bernie Siegal includes in his book Love, Medicine, and

Miracles, such as:

The man who said " he was always considered spineless " and in the end

developed multiple myeloma in his backbone to support his contention.

Or the woman who had had a mastectomy who told Dr. Siegel that she " needed

to get something off her chest. "

 

It's simple. Instead of being controlled by the things we say, instead of having

our health compromised by idle words, we should put words to work for us. Try

repeating to yourself over and over with each step you take when you walk, or

while you're driving something like:

" I'm joy. I'm peace. I'm health. I'm light. " Or make up your own. If so,

make it short and rhythmical, so it sort of says itself to a walking cadence. It

really does work magic. I once hiked the full length of the John Muir Trail,

about 237 miles, silently reciting a similar affirmation every single step of

the way. By the end of the trip, I had repeated the affirmation something over

500,000 times -- and I was sailing up and down over 10,000 ft. passes and up and

down the 15,000 feet of Mt. Whitney.

 

Take an herbal break. Use an herbal nerve-tonic formulation that contains

herbs such as Valerian Root, Kava kava, Passionflower, Hops, Black cohosh, St.

John's wort, and Lobelia.

Nurtraceuticals such as SAMe, 5-HTP, and L-Theanine can all help reduce

stress, depression and anxiety.

Connection, and several others, at http://www.jonbarron.org/press.html.

[Guest guest]

The narrow definition of the mind does not allow for

the all encompassing non material entity that is shown

by Krylian photography.

 

Some 2,500 years ago Chaung Tzu wrote " All that have

faces , form, voices , colours - all these are mere

things . How could one thing and another be far

removed from each other. And how could any of them be

capable of leading you to what preceded them ?. They

are forms and colours - nothing more. But that which

creates things has no form and rests where there is no

change. If a man can get hold of this and exhaust it

fully , then how can things stand in his way. He may

rest within the bounds that know no excess , hide

within the borders that know no source , may wander

where the ten thousand things have their beginning ,

nourish his breath , unite his virtue and thereby

COMMUNICATE with that which creates all things " [23].

Two thousand five hundred years BI [before Internet ]

a philosopher understood the natural Internet that

connects all things in the world wide web of Nature.

Understood that it may be that the virus and bacteria

[ which contain genetic material - as do all our cells

] - are as much a form of communication as an

" illness " . That in trying to wipe out a virus we may

be stabbing ourselves in the back - because the virus

is part of Nature - as we are.

Life is a dynamic , its only constant is change.

Mutation is an ongoing process whose vector is time.

To interfere in a process that we do not understand is

to invite trouble. We have got that trouble in the

form of viral mutations that nourish themselves on

Vancomycin. A recent article in the Lancet drew

attention to Enterococcus Faecium that mutated in 7

days into a form that relied on Vancomycin as its

food. MRSA and forms of TB resist all the drugs we

throw at them. TB has been detected in the bones of

dinosaurs and it might have occurred to us that an

organism that predates the human race has a high

survival drive.

Vaccines are frozen in time , they do not mutate. Yet

out here in the real world the dynamic of relentless

mutation is a constant and ongoing fact of life. The

'Flu virus is known to mutate in a matter of days , or

at most, weeks - yet it takes 7/9 months to make up a

vaccine. Any dangerous pandemic will almost certainly

not be covered by the vaccine that is then current.

Scarlet Fever was a danger in the 1930's but vanished

without a trace - and without the use of a vaccine ,

for none was ever developed. There is talk of its

reappearance now , some 60 years later. Where has it

been and what cycle of mutations has it passed

through?.

To pretend that the picture of Life is not chaotic is

absurd. But chaos merely means that we do not

understand what we see. To produce 'order' by putting

on blinkers , restricting our view to that which we

CAN understand will lead us into serious error . Only

in the synthesis of material and non material views

will a way ahead be found.

The positional awareness of the body of a tadpole

confirms that a non physical entity develops alongside

the physical being. This brings with it a parallel to

the immune system [that does not exist in the early

stages of embryo development ] - which distinguishes

between " Self " and " Not self " - so does developing

consciousness distinguish between " Self " and " Not

self " . For this to happen there must be an entity

that is Self and non physical. An entity that is

greater than the sum of the parts

The recent cloning of a sheep from an adult cell shows

that each cell has the potential to " blueprint "

another entity. The development of tadpole to frog is

carried out at the hormonal level. When the legs break

through the skin all the cells get the same hormonal

messenger. But some cells get thicker to prepare for

life as an amphibian , whilst others get thinner to

allow the leg 'buds' to break through the skin. So two

identical cells that join each other can get the same

chemical messenger and one will get thinner and the

other will get thicker [3] . There is no way that this

could be programmed into the DNA. Only by positional

awareness , integral to the body , can we account for

this development.

At a psychological level we are linked into the

collective unconscious. Protected only by the

insulating layer of the subconscious we nonetheless

get some vague feeling of all distress, suffering and

joy that is common to humanity as a whole - no human

is an island. To shut this out is to develop an

inflexible shell that eventually stifles all

psychological growth , and results in psychological

sclerosis leading to the development of multiple ills

and slow demise.

The very food that we eat carries 'imprints' of where

and how it developed. In the case of animal products

we ingest not only the chicken but also its experience

of suffering in 'battery cultivation' , not only the

beef but its experience of constant milk production

during a short and joyless life together with the

terror of slaughter when milk production passes its

peak.

At a physical level we are constantly linked to a

ferment of organisms that penetrate our being, use us

briefly as a shelter while experimenting with various

mutated forms that then set out to communicate

whenever we sneeze, make love , or interact in any way

with our environment.

At an internal level we are a community of cells ,

each containing its genetic helix , which communicate

[a] by minute electrical currents in the nervous

system and by chemical hormonal messengers in the

blood/lymph , with an interface at the pituitary. The

possibility of damaging this organization of

communicating parts is immense and infinite.

Certainly it has been shown that antibiotics disrupt ,

that pollution can disrupt , that overcrowding ,

malnutrition and poverty disrupt [ contributing to the

spread of TB ] . Endometriosis [chocolate cysts ]

warts , papilloma , moles , and cancers are all

instances of body parts losing contact and

communication with surrounding tissue. Losing that

sense of 'community' that is generated by the flow of

biochemical , hormonal and neural messages , bathing

the cellular material in an environment of blood [16]

, lymph [10] , and neurological transmitters [11] .

When this network of communication is interrupted by

stress , drugs, [recreational or medical], antibiotics

, injections of vaccine , shock or trauma , then cells

at the end of the network become confused . They lose

their sense of location and wander off - looking for

the 'home' of which they feel deprived. Or they

proliferate out of control as in warts and growths of

all kinds. This happens in external as well as

internal society.

The human psyche is connected to the Collective

Unconscious , which influences us all , but is at the

same time influenced by us . Similarly the myriad

organisms that hop round the world , inside human

globe trotters , reaching even the most cautious

'stick in the mud' individual - are shaped by our

genetic makeup. They then change and set forth on

their endless round of mutation. The world at large

communicates with us in this non verbal physical way ,

while the Collective Unconscious of the world

communicates with us in anon physical way. Cases of

close relatives , lovers , twins , etc. , knowing when

the other person - thousands of miles away - is ill or

dead , are legion [18] . Into this system the facts of

clairvoyance , precognition , and thought transference

[ such as researched by Dr. Rhine at Duke University ]

fit quite comfortably. In the animal world studies of

telepathy have been carried out with chimpanzees,

yielding encouraging results.[9].

An entity existing , bordering, and interpenetrating

the non physical universality , was first proposed by

Jung , and probably intersects all living organic

matter. It has already been shown that when a field of

wheat is harvested the individual plants furthest from

the area of harvest are ' aware ' of what is taking

place. This same action/reaction cycle is carried out

inside the individual body , connecting with the

endless flow of the internal 'information' network -

which is effectively genetic. When cells communicate

we are really saying that the genetic material

communicates , as that is the only item complex enough

to fill that function . It has been shown that in cell

division the energy employed is analogous to

gravitational phenomena. All as detailed by A. Dubrov

in " Biogravitation & Psychotronics "

The behaviour of shoals of fish , flocks of birds ,

and herds of animals show a collective entity working

at a subconscious or unconscious level. Similar

behaviour is observable in the human animal when

people collectively , behave in a manner that is not

" normal " to each individual member. Later when

isolated they are puzzled and unable to account for

their actions. They say they were ' carried away' .

The recent anthropological development of a fragile

" ego " or " self " is swept aside and the instinct ,

built into the genes - acting as a 'local area

network' [to use a computer analogy] , effortlessly

assumes control and all social constraints are ignored

.. It is the condition of this entity that gives rise

to health - either good or bad.

Stress takes many forms. It may be physical involving

semi starvation , overcrowding, bad sanitation and

social indifference to suffering. All happened in

Medieval Times when life expectation dropped to an

average of 40 years . Under extreme pressure of any

kind human beings can usually survive for about 40

years , which is genetically long enough to breed and

raise the next generation to a state of viability.

An inspection of death registers shows that people who

have TB , AIDS , the most vicious cancers etc. , will

survive to the late 30's/ early 40's. In all cases

physical stress is transferred to the non physical

self and spread between physical and non physical to

ensure survival of the entity.

Conversely nervous , psychological stress is

" equalized " by transfer to the physical when it

" overflows " from physical to non physical. It would

appear that the mechanism that operates this " flow

control valve " is the pituitary - via the

neurohypophysis and the pars distalis [3] . So that

when stress is channelled into the physical area , it

travels through the neurohypophysis to the pars

distalis . which by means of hormonal control creates

physical symptoms. When suppression of symptoms drives

disease inwards then the reverse occurs and the

neural/psychological effects are exhibited by the body

- via the neurohypophysis. All of this has a dramatic

effect on the immune system [24].

To return to the internal/external relationship of all

things - where we are surrounded by the external

physical nature , but internally in contact with the

non material Collective Unconscious/Life Force

[probably of genetic origin ] and ourselves act as an

interface between the two.

Fear and apprehension are almost universally felt in

the viscera " Gut feeling " is older than science. It

has been speculated that there is a secondary brain

located in that area. Certainly instinctual reactions

that are as old as the DNA manifest themselves via

this outlet. It may be considered due to a possible

relationship to the dinosaurs , some of whom had two

brains , one in the head and one further down the

body.

The art of genetic splicing , or the technology of

recombinant ligation [17] runs into problems when the

splice is rejected for no apparent reason. It may be

desirable from the human point of view , but non

viable in the overall view of total genetic

possibility. The genes must have a view of eternity

that is beyond human comprehension - having existed

for millions of years.

They will accept or reject human interference as it

works to their own best advantage. As a race it has

taken us thousands of years to accept that Earth is

not the centre of the universe - now perhaps we have

to accept that humanity is a suit of clothing that the

genes have put on for a possibly limited period. Let

us hope that we do not ruin the suit so that they have

to send it to the cleaners.

The Human Genome Project [5] is already outdated by

the discovery that at least some genetic information

is [ See prions and BSE research ] " written " and

" stored " at molecular and sub-molecular levels. A

further instance of the way in which science

continually peels away one layer to reveal another -

showing that without understanding knowledge is a

useless rag bag. Our society and our individual bodies

reflect one another and are embedded in the province

of nature. So if we exploit and ruin Nature we exploit

and ruin ourselves.

The unravelling of the Human Genome Project is

probably irrelevant in the sense that each individual

is a unique and evolving entity that meets and solves

the problems of its individual development - until it

meets a problem that it cannot solve and lays down its

share of the Life Force. A concept that is developed

in " Cellular Organization in a Biotic Entity " [7] .

Apoptosis [19] or cell suicide is currently under

investigation in oncology , with the idea that it may

be possible to get a tumour to commit suicide and

abort itself . One can imagine this as a subject of

military research - can we kill our enemies this way ?

.. But as we are all part of Nature and Humanity - who

are our enemies ?. What it also shows is that all the

cells of the body are in communication ,via the lymph

, blood , ductless glands , and the sympathetic and

parasympathetic nervous systems. This view is

supported by a tradition stretching back to the early

1900's. Dr. Compton Burnett [8] and Vithoulkas [21]

considered that cells that were in close proximity to

each other in early embryo development , retain an

affinity , or connective awareness of each other -

regardless of their position in the finally completed

body. Finally , there can be little doubt that

Vitality [or Life Force ] exists , is a logical

structure and subject to various laws , or operational

rules which were compiled in 1989 [6] . They are :-

OPERATIONAL LAWS OF VITALITY.

[1] THE DIRECTION OF DISEASE IS IN AND UP . THE

DIRECTION OF CURE IS DOWN AND OUT.

[2] BY TRACING THE PATH OF DISEASE FROM THE EXTERIOR

TO THE INTERIOR - FROM BELOW UPWARDS . THE LATENT

GENETIC CLASS IS REVEALED.

[3] THE VITALITY IS THE IMMUNOLOGICAL SYSTEM PLUS

'X' , AND ANYTHING THAT WEAKENS THE VITALITY TENDS TO

DESTROY THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.

[4] THE BODY HAS A LIMITED RESPONSE TO ANY

INFECTION. WHEN THAT LIMIT IS REACHED NO FURTHER

DAMAGE WILL BE DONE AND THE INVADER WILL DEFEND THE

BODY AGAINST FURTHER INVASION.

[5] IF SOME DIRECT INTERVENTION IS MADE , BY DRUGS ,

THEN THE BODY REGAINS ITS VULNERABILITY AND

REINFECTION WILL PROGRESSIVELY DAMAGE THE IMMUNE

SYSTEM.

[6] IF THE VITALITY IS PUT IN WORKING ORDER IT WILL

THEN PUT ITS OWN HOUSE [ie THE BODY ] IN ORDER ,

ELIMINATING UNWANTED GROWTHS AND ELEMENTS OF DISEASE.

[7] A HEALTHY VITALITY WILL EASILY CONTROL ONE , OR

POSSIBLY TWO CLASSES OF HEREDITARY ILLS. IF ATTACKED

BY A THIRD CLASS , OR SUBJECTED TO TRAUMA , THE

OUTERMOST OR SURFACE PRESENTATION WILL BE THAT CLASS

MOST DANGEROUS TO THE BODY AND ITS PROCESS'S.

SUPPRESSION OR THE INWARD DRIVING OF SYMPTOMS WILL

LEAD TO A SUCCESSION OF DISORDERS - OR A LAPSE INTO

INCURABLE CHRONIC CONDITIONS - LEADING TO A SHORTER

LIFE EXPECTANCY.

[8] THE VITALITY ACTS AS A HARMONIZER OR INTEGRATOR.

ACCEPTING SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH ORGANISMS THAT

CONFER BENEFIT . DOMESTICATING THREATENING ORGANISMS

AND DESTROYING LETHAL ORGANISMS. ANY THREAT TO THIS

HARD WON BALANCE IS A THREAT TO LIFE.

[9] THE VITALITY ACTS ON A " CONSERVATION OF ENERGY "

PRINCIPLE . AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT PART OF ITS ENERGY

WILL BE HOLDING HEREDITARY ILLS BELOW THE SURFACE AND

OUT OF CONSCIOUS AWARENESS. SPARE ENERGY IS FREE FOR

JOY OF LIVING. SUPPRESSED SYMPTOMS SOAK UP FREE ENERGY

- DEVITALIZE THE BODY AND ALLOW HEREDITARY ILLS TO

VENT ON THE SURFACE. THUS DISCHARGES AND ERUPTIONS

SHOULD BE TREATED WITH CAUTION , AS THEY ARE RELIEVING

INTERNAL PROBLEMS.

[10] INDIVIDUAL CASES SHOULD GIVE WEIGHT TO

INSTINCTUAL CONDUCT BY THE PATIENT - AS INSTINCT HAS

MILLIONS OF YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO DRAW ON . AS

AGAINST THE SHORT EXPERIENCE SPAN OF THE INTELLECT.

[11] A REFUSAL TO REALIZE PSYCHOLOGICAL POTENTIAL

CREATES AN INTERNAL VACUUM . THIS CAN LEAD TO

ADDICTIONS OF ALL KINDS , AS ATTEMPTS ARE MADE TO FILL

THE PSYCHOLOGICAL VOID WITH MATERIAL SUBSTANCES [DRUGS

, ALCOHOL , COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOUR ETC.]

Operational instances of the above are the treatment

of inflammation [anywhere in the body] by antibiotics

- or the over vaccination of young children,

particularly below the age of two. This has led to a

great increase - of almost epidemic proportions - of

asthma , eczema and allergies.

May update -- Scientist Juliaan Davies of the Univ of

B.C. says " Microbes are part of an enormous community

; the ecology of microbes. We are not talking about a

few microbes on you, me or in a hospital. We are

talking about all the microbes in the environment.

they are a community. THEY TALK TO EACH OTHER. They

exchange genes , and when one of the population needs

help from other microbes theey can get it. If they

need genes from the environment that will give

resistance to a particular class of antibiotic - they

can do it by a mechanism of genetic- exchange.

Microbes have more promiscuous ways of taking care of

gene exchange than we can possibly imagine and they

are very good at it. " At last science is accepting the

intercommunity of genetic exchange - they have yet to

appreciate the implications of this happening inside

the human body!!!.

............ and MRSA and TB still respond to sunlight, the former in wounds responds to silver and charcoal dressings - have they not produced a sunlight pill yet LOL?

 

Endometriosis disappears when the diet is changed and gluten is eliminated.

 

Why do they all have to make everything so very complex?

Thank you for this exhaustive and informative narrative James. Kirilian

photography opens

questions to go further deep down at Consciousness level- bio plasma. The

a spectacle that is really marvellous and our Mind projects this universe as

hologram-! What an

incredible mechanism devised and planted by the Supreme - The Divine in us,

that plays each

and every role- acts on universal stage as doer of all acts done, all thoughts

conceived and the

force behind each and everything manifested. The Divine playing each and every

role that make

human being strut and dance on the stage for a while through aeons- and yet

that ' Spark ' that

'Elemental Force' remains Elusive.

 

I am of the opinion that an objective study and scientific research carried

out in domain of

Consciusness shall open up new vistas and sure cures and provide pannecia

pressed into the

hands of humanity that shall wipe away, like a torrential current, all the

cobwebs and deceptions

that go on in the name of medicines.

This poses a conundrum in my mind, so my question is - is a man with TB therefore more intelligent than a man without TB?

 

I can't really perceive the connection between the survival of a disease and the intelligence of man.

Re: The Mind Body Connection - How it works.

humanity has yet to reach the intelligence level ofmicro organisms such as TB which was present indinosaur bones - pretty impressive survival record!

This is a tremendous post Dr James. In genetic engineering the

question has already surfaced; what BEFORE the DNA? There is a void,

a void full of possibilities. We read about this in our Upanishads

which holds EVERYTHING to be sacred, even the imperfections. ZEN

philosophy too asks us to love the imperfections. Nothing is

unnecessary in this interlinked web of life and the world.

 

Even as they talk about mapping the gene what few people know is that

only about 5% has been mapped, which is the " good DNA " , the rest

is " junk " . Now what could this junk be? It is " work-in-progress " that

is always at a readiness to change. It could also hold the key to

past experiences and future actions. So our genetic engineers who are

concentrating on the " good " 5% will be creating mayhem shortly.

You misunderstand my reply

 

The TB inside OR outside of the man is itself

intrinsically more intelligent than its transport --

in the same way that a man is more intelligent than

his car.

Exactly -- GOOD -- and bad -- are subjective value
