Sheer Necessities For Healing

The three most important things you need for healing to occur in your life.

How much do you believe that you can influence your life and health? How much do you believe that your brain and body influence each other?

If you don’t understand how these concepts might work, how ‘open’ are you to finding out more?

Are you expecting therapy or the medical profession to help you without you doing any work to help yourself?

The ‘placebo effect’ very clearly proves the effect that our mind can have over illness. A positive belief and expectation is the foundation stone of healing. Your expectation will influence the outcome more than you know.

Your underlying beliefs will influence the benefit that you get from therapy. It is clearly easier to train or teach somebody who is prepared to take an active role in their healing.

I know about (and practice) some awesome techniques that bring about incredibly quick results in some cases, particularly for emotional trauma.  However in many cases there simply isn’t a ‘magic bullet’.  There is no therapist or medical practitioner who deals with everything and knows everything. Even a masterful healer like Jesus was unable to heal some people!  Interestingly, they were people from his home town who had no belief in him!

I know how annoying it is to have ‘positive thinking’ rammed down your throat, and in no way do I suggest that it is the be-all and end-all.  I am sure there are people who have been healed and yet have had a negative outlook, just as I am sure that there are people with the  most positive outlook that have not been healed. However, I do know that there has been much research to show that you are much more likely to get better if your attitude is generally positive.

While many people report ‘healing’ from faith and belief alone (and I absolutely believe this to be possible), most mortals require a little more than that.  Your feelings and thoughts can sometimes take a ‘dive’, but giving up hope is a killer. We need hope to allow ourselves to find healers, seek answers and do something about our problems.  This is the primary reason why depression is so hard to overcome – because the lack of serotonin and ‘feel good’ chemicals make a person feel hopeless and hope is the thing they most need.  Many depressed people do not seek help because they simply have no hope of an answer.

It is important, in these cases, to remember that our physical body is affecting our emotions, and unconscious patterns affect both our thoughts and our body.There is nothing more debilitating to a depressed or ill person than to be told that they should

Heal Yourself Through Nourishment

It is a fact that in the medical field today, very few GP’s will concern themselves with your diet, (except where there is an obvious diet related disorder, such as diabetes, or obesity). Even then, they will refer you to a nutritionist because doctors do not do study nutrition in-depth.
This seems strange to me, as even Hippocrates pointed to the diet as the major cause of illness. Perhaps with the discovery of bacteria et al, the scientists threw out all the common sense and stopped considering nutrition important. Perhaps it is true that it is all about the pharmaceutical companies that sponsor universities. I don’t know.
The point is, that if you want to look to the source of your illness, or simply preserve your health, it is up to you to consider the importance of diet. Your doctor is unlikely to point you in that direction, although there does, at least, seem to be a trend to encourage exercise and a more healthful lifestyle on the part of the government and NHS.
Most people do not take their eating habits seriously until they are faced with a more serious problem, and quite often, even then, they do not consider a change in lifestyle. The truth is that most people are sadly ignorant about the effect of food on the brain.
There are those who do not have any adverse food reactions and seem to be able to eat whatever they like. There are people who do seem to go through to old age with comparative good health, despite what seems to be an unhealthy diet and lifestyle. Having said that, though, bear in mind that it is often the man who has a heart attack at 50, who says ‘I thought I was as healthy as a horse!’.
On the other hand, many people do experience quite serious health problems which can easily be solved by correcting the diet. Sometimes there is a need for medical treatment in combination with diet, but in many instances medication can be stopped once the body has regained it’s health through a simple change in eating habits.

Case Study
For example, consider Gillian, who had a history of depression. She was absolutely adamant that the source of her depression was hormonal. After a series of tests which showed her hormones to be perfectly balanced, and many fruitless trips to various doctors, she was finally put on anti-depressant medication. There was a marked improvement and as long as she stayed on the medication, she no longer experienced mood swings. However she still had other health problems such as asthma, hay fever and sinus.
In frustration, she decided to see a nutritionist. She was told to cut out all dairy, wheat, sugar, and many other products. Not knowing how to eat without those things, she quickly gave up. It was many years later that I put her on a detox programme that she would find easy to follow.

The aim of the detox was to see whether she had an intolerance to certain foods. She already knew from allergy tests that she was allergic to shellfish, but the tests did not show up any other foods. What they did
