Guest guest Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hi everyone, I posted this in SproutRawFood earlier today and thought some in this group might find it interesting, as well. Enjoy! Best, Elchanan _____ Elchanan [Elchanan] XPOST [sproutRawFood]: Creating Health From the Inside, Out Greetings everyone, I am reading about the importance of systemic pH (acid-alkaline balance) and other matters. I am reading that the way to create health is to flush the body by force. (This is called " cleansing " .) Yes, the systemic pH is an indicator of vitality. But systemic pH is an outcome of ALL that we do, we cannot manipulate it with gadgets, cleanses, or other forms of interference with our own body's processes. We create a healthful pH by what we put INTO your system and by our choices affecting stress in our lives, not by sticking a hose up our ass. (Sorry to put it bluntly, as it were, but the point is important. I mean, think about it, one cannot create health with a hose, a bathtub, etc. Isn't this self-evident?) All these cleanses are actually enervating to the system, they demand a great focus of energy to defend against the cleanse itself. The short-term result APPEARS to be cleansing ... because the body MUST eliminate the cleanse material. But all symptoms are the body's healing process itself, and any attempt to interfere only comes back later. Our bodies will continue to produce symptoms of ever-increasing intensity until we either allow the body to run its own course, or we die. Trust your system, trust Nature's design ... don't trust people who tell you to shoot water up your, well, I need not repeat myself. If we wish to create health, let us live healthfully. We must create health patiently, from the inside, out. Let us live so that we require no cleanses in the first place. And if you wish to cleanse, then simply fast on water alone ... learn how, first. But let us not pump water into our orifices. We need not ever use force upon yourselves. The very thought of using any of these " cleansing " techniques presumes that our conscious mind, our cognition in particular, can somehow figure out how to run our metabolism better than our innate intelligence can. This notion is preposterous. Our conscious mind, our cognition in particular, cannot even begin to comprehend, much less to direct, our metabolism. I mean, our conscious mind cannot heal a simple cut on our finger! I realize that I am suggesting paradigm shifts of profound proportions: that I am asking people to consider changing some dearly held beliefs, that we should accept, appreciate, learn from, and honor our symptoms, and that all treatments to block our symptoms, except in the presence of trauma, are self-destructive acts. For those who are curious ... I mean, what if I'm right??? ... I invite you to download a pair of free audio programs that deal with this and more, courtesy of the Path of Health Community: What is Health?, available at <http://snipurl.com/what_is_health> http://snipurl.com/what_is_health. Messages From Within: Exploring Symptoms and Senses, available at <http://snipurl.com/messages_from_within> http://snipurl.com/messages_from_within. People who listen to these programs, and who enter from a place of curiosity, begin a remarkable journey into health unlike anything else. Why? Because change originates in our mind, and specifically in our beliefs about ourselves and the world in which we live. When we choose certain beliefs, everything else begins to change for us. Best to all, Elchanan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
