The lowly vitamin.

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

 

If someone wants to be a healer, they must first have a basic

understanding of the body and it's biological parts and processes. It is not

necessary to become a biochemist but it is necessary to understand basic

functions.

 

The same holds true for nutrition. They are the basic building blocks

of health and healing. If you do not understand nutrition, you will

never understand the health of the body. There again it need not be

super indepth, but you need to understand what you read when

researching basic stuff. A lot is written in very simple terms so that

anyone can understand.

 

I think that probably 90% of most people who consider themselves

" alternative healers " don't have this basic understanding. I would say

that another 90% only think in allopathic terms. One symtom, one

treatment without even knowing what is happening on a celular

biological level.

 

Most new people who come to natural healing want something specific

for their problem/disease/symptom. If you tell them to take the (fill

in the blank) pill they are happy because that is their concept of

health treatment which they aquired by being surrounded by that type

of thinking in our societies. A lot of alternative practioners never

get over that way of thinking either and continue just trying to

substitute a natural (fill in the blank) for the allopathic (fillin

the blank). This method has very limited success.

 

The allopathic system is a false identifiying, naming sytem that puts

labels on symtoms not causes. They then treat trying to suppress the symptoms.

Many alternatives just follow along with that way of thinking. They didn't take

the time to learn about our bodies and nutrition.

 

People have been conditioned to think in terms like, I'm really sick,

I need something real, give me some real medicine to handle this.

Vitamins are OK, but this is/or could be serious and no little ole

vitamin is going to do anything about that. This is the walking army

of the ignorant. They came to this bit of folk wisdom not by

studying, but by " common knowledge " (everyone knows it).

 

These ignorant people are unaware that the body can cure itself from

polio if given sufficient vitamin C in quatities to kill the invading

germ. There are absolutly thousands of other examples. Heart disease,

cancer, fibromyalgia, liver problems, etc. That lowly little vitamin,

mineral, etc is actually the most powerfull healing substances on the

planet. It is the natural thing that is perfect for the body. It is

exactly what the body uses perfectly. The body was designed to use

exactly/specifically these type of things. The knowledge on how to use

them and how much to use is everything though.

 

You cannot be an effective healer if you don't know much about

nutrients and only know (although they are great things too) herbs,

acupuncture, homeopathy, etc. because you are never getting down to

the level on which the body operates. The biological level of the

cells that make up all of the organs/ systems of the body and the basic

substances it uses to regain health and balance.
