Medical Science is wonderful at certain
issues, like trauma. If you are in an
accident, medical doctors are saviors and magicians.
However, for the majority of illnesses,
medical doctors do a mediocre job fixing symptoms but a terrible job at fixing the cause — and they also unfortunately do a great job at creating new problems (which they call side-effects).
This email presents one way to look at almost all illness.
When you (or, at least, when your cavemen
ancestors) were confronted with a
life-or-death issue like an attack by a
fierce carnivore, you needed to immediately activate your fight-or-flight mechanism in order to save your life.
That was a good thing and it worked.
It worked to save your caveman’s life.
It had negative side-effects but these were not as significant as the fact that you survived the incident.
What is the fight-or-flight mechanism? It is the release of degenerative hormones:
Cortisol and Adrenaline.
They spur you into action. They save your life. They put you in top performance. But, alas, they also create stress. These two hormones and the related stress they cause are believed to be the leading cause of the most serious diseases like cancer, shingles, heart ailments and many others.
If the release of these hormones was so good for your cavemen ancestors, then why is it not good for you now?
The reason is that the issues which cause you worry and stress today are no longer life-threatening. They may include someone angry at you, a very long red light, a nasty email, etc.
Though there is no danger involved in these incidents, the body still perceives these incidents as danger and triggers the fight-or-flight mechanisms. The unused hormones in your system are the cause of the degeneration.
These unused and mostly unneeded hormones accumulate in your system and are the beginnings of the degenerative diseases you fear.
The cure of the most common AND the most dreaded diseases can be traced back to curing the release of, and the consequential accumulation of, the Cortisol and Adrenaline hormones in your body (at least in many, if not most, cases).
And, how is that done? The ultimate answer
is: relax.
There are a variety of ways to do that…
… being calm
… playing contemplative music
… resting during the day
… getting sufficient sleep
… enjoying the occasional massage
… meditating or praying
… having peaceful retreats in your day
… smiling
… taking deep breaths when you feel stress
… soaking in hot baths and
… other such restful practices.
So how do you cure just about anything that’s making you sick?
The answer may be as simple as…
Chill out.
