WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HEALING CRISIS AND ILLNESS?

[Guest guest]

Well personally, it is nice to know that this raging headache I have

had all day is not the headaches come back; but just the enzymes I just started

taking a few days ago working. However ............................

I wonder how long this reversal thing lasts? with each symtom, I mean. Do I

go on to something else tomorrow, now that I have been reminded how horrible

those headaches were - or are these going to last as long as they did when I

first got them.

In order to not take something like 222 s or tylenol 2 or 3s, etc. I

have been saying to myself all day " and this too shall pass " . And when that

wasn't going to keep me away from those drugs much longer, I started reminding

myself of all the damage those particular drugs cause and how much worse this

reversal thing will be later if I truly want to get well.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A

HEALING CRISIS AND ILLNESS?

http://www.oz.net/~csrh/crisheal.htm

The most damaging phrase in the language is: " It's always been done this

way. "

-Admiral Grace Hopper(1906-1992)

A healing crisis is a process that occurs naturally after a period of living

right! In these times people have moved away from eating healthy whole foods

in deference to processed, denatured and engineered foods. (In fact they can't

really be called foods at all, they are actually food products). Their bodies

aren't getting the materials needed to keep organs and systems strong so that

they can function optimally, eliminating waste or catarrah while repairing and

building new tissue to replace the old. Only when the whole body is strong

can it involve all the organs in a rally to cleanse, eliminate waste and create

an environment for regeneration. The body is made strong by taking in whole

foods, full of nutrients from healthy unadulterated soil, by exercise, stress

management and by maintaining mental and spiritual health as well.

During a period of right living, anywhere from days to several months, people

will experience a healing crisis, usually after feeling particularly well.

The feeling of wellness is an indication that the organs are all strong, working

well in cooperation with each other and able to eliminate waste just the way

the body is designed to do the job.

There are symptoms during a healing crisis that may be confused with illness

but the difference is that these symptoms are short in duration and move from

one part of the body to another, from inside out and from top to bottom. There

is usually a lack of appetite and may be a fever. Illness is a very different

scenario where one or more of the organs are not working well, causing toxic

build up of waste material that can't get out. There is fear during illness, a

feeling of being out of control as opposed to the prevailing feeling during a

healing crisis that underneath all the symptomology everything is working

just the way it should and everything is really OK.

The reversal process is another part of the healing crisis.

It is necessary to revisit each step the body has been through that brought

it to its current state of dis-ease. People learn from an early age that

symptoms are bad and should be stopped or suppressed. They take all kinds of

drugs

to stop their bodies from eliminating catarrah and waste. This is very

confusing to the body! Mucus production is the body's perfect mechanism for

taking out

the garbage! If that process is suppressed, the immune system is compromised

and the next time it doesn't work quite so well. The body has it's own memory

and it remembers all the injuries and all the times it was suppressed. In the

reversal process these memories are brought to light in reverse order from

which they happened and people re-experience illnesses and traumas in a

phenomenon known as retracing. The difference this time is that the symptoms

come and

go quickly and there is an underlying sense that the whole process is not

threatening, that it is natural and health promoting. The healthy changes people

feel after a healing crises remain as long as a health supportive lifestyle is

embraced, as long as one continues to honor the remarkable and extraordinary

intelligence of the body. Give the body what it needs to constantly create

strong new tissue and the reward will be wonderful health and vitality.
