Guest guest Posted February 17, 2004 Report Share Posted February 17, 2004 I have been reading some postings here lately with sadness at the tension between those of us who wish to help one another. There are any number of ways one can approach something like illness or a Candida overgrowth, people will do what "resonates for them" at their specific level of development, some will be cured, some will remain ill for a long time...if what one believes is that there is a magic pill or supplement somewhere and being a scientist with their body and trying to "control" it, then that is the path they will follow. I however know now the magic isn't in the pill, it is in the divine design of my body and as long as you "do battle" with it, the magic will not be revealed, as long as we "fear" it we will not understand. . As long as we continue to be in "discord" rather than in "concert", we will remain ill Oh how we want to belive we have the science and power over our body but that is only our ego leading the way, the whole body has wisdom within its cells, wisdom which is far smarter than even our most modern science, it has been around since the dawn of man - the wisdom of our body created the candida overgrowth to protect itself from toxins, the candida is not your enemy any more than someone with a different opinion or religion is your enemy The candida is a signal, listen instead, the balance can be struck. As I was ill myself, I took a lot of time to research how to make myself well again, and in the beginning of this "path to wellness" I must admit, I was looking for the quick cure, it is how our society views things and what they expect...but as I dug further I began to realize there were other approaches and as I began to investigate, my heart began to tell me to listen and open my mind. It occurred to me that since candida overgrowth seems to be a fairly new malaise, say in the last 50 years, that there must be something we have done in that time to create the playground. As I reflected back on how life was before this time, I began to realize how much our lifestyles and our foods and our stresses and our ideas about things like nature have changed. When I discovered about removing the toxins, sleeping patterns, eating according to what MY body needs it really made more sense to me than any of the claims made by anyone else. It requires really looking hard at your lifestyle and yourself, some of us aren't ready to do this...and may never be. And that is okay, it is neither wrong or right, I cannot judge anothers' choice of how to live, and, I know I can only touch a few lives and those few will each touch a few more...will we change the world, highly unlikely, but, will we have an effect, you bet. The body was divinely created, honor it and allow the real magic and wisdom of life show you more than you ever imagined - no illusion, no smoke & mirrors, no snake oil...perhaps the "mind, body, spirit" connection is far stronger than we have ever imagined, perhaps that is the purpose of this illness, no one knows. For me - I know that this path makes me feel better in all three ways, better than I have for a very long time. People are afraid of changes, particularly when they might not "fit in" but do not let that discourage you from seeking your own truth. You can be your own cure.
