RE: Rest and healing ( was seeking naturopathic advice) [s]

[Guest guest]

Hi Rainbow Wolf. You write:

 

I believe I have a growth in my birth canal. I am not a fan

of 'conventional' medicine, preferring to follow the natural,

balanced way of treatment. This has served me well in the past and I

have no reason to doubt it will continue so to do.

 

I have a friend who had a tumor in his bowel that his body cured by

him juicing for 6 weeks. He juiced non-acidic foods whenever he felt

hungry or weak. He said the first few days he was juicing 5 - 6

times a day but soon he just juiced 3 times a day. He believed that

the digestive system's function was to digest, and if it was not

digesting the solids that we put into it then it would turn to

digesting fats and toxins, and other undesireables such as cysts and

tumors. He seemed to have proved this by juicing for 6 weeks and the

growth in his bowel disappearing.

 

Although I believe mostly in eating 'whole foods', as Nature grew

them for us, would juicing be a good place to start regarding trying

to get control over the growth in my vagina?

Thank you so much for sharing your situation and perspective in such detail,

this makes responding so easy.

 

First, a comment upon your choice of subject lines. May I suggest that use

seek advice about health and vitality, and not limit yourself to any one

perspective or profession (such a naturopathy). Otherwise, the nature of

your question may limit the range of answers you receive.

 

All cleaning and healing in the body occurs when rest occurs. In the case of

digestion, any improvement in diet and/or any reduction in intake

constitutes rest, vs. whatever was happening previously. So when your friend

was juicing, he was lightening the load in his digestive system, providing

some degree of digestive and systemic rest. And with even that modest level

of rest, his system was apparently able to deal with AT LEAST the surface of

the problem; I wonder whether the problem is really fully eliminated, though

it is certainly possible.

 

In choosing green (I infer) juices, your friend also probably drastically

reduced his caloric intake, forcing his body to draw upon its fat reserves

for fuel. Because the body is endowed with vast innate intelligence, to the

extent that fat reserves existed inside the tumor itself, his body would

have turned quite naturally to utilize that energy reserve first, digesting

and dissolving the tumor in the process. (Many would call this " cleansing, "

but I think it may be helpful to understand a bit further what is actually

occurring.)

 

Continuing the line of thought about rest. the deeper and longer the rest,

the deeper the cleansing, healing, and rejuvenation process inside the body.

At the end of this continuum of rest is the fast (consuming only water),

where we give the digestive system a complete rest for some period of time.

And indeed, this is likely the fastest path to your goal.

 

Caveat 1: There is knowledge you will need, and probably direct supervision

given the potentially serious underlying nature of your particular

condition.

 

Caveat 2: A full fast means systemwide rest, not just cessation of eating.

So you would also cease working, socializing, etc. entirely or for the most

part throughout the fasting period.

 

Caveat 3: Fasting does not compensate for improper eating and/or lifestyle.

If you fast and heal, then return to self-defeating habits, your body will

recreate the same or worse symptoms. (This is true for all healing, not just

healing that accelerates during fasting.)

 

Hope this information is helpful.

 

Best to all,

Elchanan
