The Battle, The War

Welcome back again, Natural Health Family. What a change in temperature over the weekend feeling more like some fall weather. It can get you thinking about the changes ahead. But for now, it’s good to enjoy the summer while it’s hear. As we head through the summer, people will have their own struggles and challenges. These are the little “battles” that can play out, from mowing the lawn to taking the kids back to school and sports practices, to tension between others, these battles can actually help us to reset and slow down. When looking at the bigger picture, we can see how the war on drugs, the war on cancer, the war on xyz, has never really helped in getting anywhere to solve the solution. Instead, it has led to one of the sickest countries in the world. So it is crucial to realize that the system is flawed and we need a new way of going about it.

When your body has a fever what do you think? Do you quickly assume that it is sick, broken and needs other outside help? When you get a cold what then? Do you think that you have caught something out of the air and now you need to get on antibiotics or other medicines? Now, I may be preaching to a certain crowd, but I want to help us think of it in a new way and look through a new lens. A fever is a masterpiece in creating balance and harmony in a body. Your body is made up of trillions of cells, many of them are viruses, bacteria, and others. When in balance, they work together to keep everything functioning optimally. However, when out of balance, the body needs to reset. A fever is a highly sophisticated way to balance out the cells of and in the body so that your body comes back to health, before worse things result. How about a cold? Well if you ever thought about it, what is a cold? Many people tend to think they caught something out of thin air. But what if it was really your body’s intelligent way to clean out and get rid of accumulated toxins in the body? So what if instead of attacking the bugs so much and creating war and conflict, we instead learned how to better help restore the body’s natural defenses and balance it out to grow strong and help it to restore back to normal. What if all this time we have been fighting the wrong war? Perhaps it is time to listen to the wisdom our body holds and to work together once again.

With all the latest fads and trends in health we must come back to the fundamentals of the body. Not to see it as this machine that wears out over time, but to see the magnificence of it. The intelligence that runs through all of our bodies has been there all this time. It is up to us to listen to it, respect it, and to allow it to help us back to restoring not only our own health, but that of this country once again.

Have a great week.
