Man is part of nature;
his health is nothing but his being at ease with nature. We have ended up taking a mechanical view of man,
as a result we have ended up treating just the ‘sick’ or dis-eased part/condition
of man...like headache, blood pressure, diabetes, sinusitis, psoriasis. And
more often than not we are only controlling the disease/condition be it our
blood pressure, diabetes, asthma etc. etc. We end up taking medicines that only
help us manage our disease better. In the process what we fail to understand is
that the sick ‘part’ or the diseased condition is only an expression (we
commonly refer to it as a symptom) the organism’s way of calling attention for
remedial action. This symptom is often
expressed through the part that is weakest and hence most susceptible to
derangement and hence the focus for attention is not the part but the whole living being.

| A Pill For Every Ill |
You treat a sick part, the
symptom disappears only to reappear in some other form and you treat that... For
example consider this you having headaches due of sleeplessness so you take an
analgesic regularly to control the pain and we know analgesic irritates the
stomach, resulting in acidity, so you now start taking antacids which neutralizes
the acid (again–control) and this affects the digestion as acid is required
for digestion, this leads to impaired absorption of nutrients from food and
then you develop aphthae (commonly called mouth ulcers) for which you take some
B-Complex (which again controls), and somewhere along the way you take sleeping
pill to get some sleep and so you start popping a pill for every ill. The cause
for sleeplessness could be an emotional disturbance which if corrected or
resolved in the first place would not have led to the present condition. My pet phrase is “You can’t pinch a baby and
at the same time sing a lullaby to put her to bed”. Finding the cause or
etiology and resolving it is the key to recovery.
A pill for diabetes,
another one for headache and another for constipation and still another one for
blood pressure...’Pill For Every Ill’ Syndrome traps you. These medications
confuse the vital force that binds the whole organism. This onslaught weakens your immune system
leading to chronic disorder which at some point becomes stubborn or irreversible.
(next you can heal yourself)
Nice Val but by the time one realizes one has high BP or Diabetes type 2, you dont have the time for laternative healing... the conditions are so life threatening you HAVE to take pills ( prescribed by the right Doctor ofcourse!!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nita...exactly that the point...as long as the holistic system is considered as an 'Alternative' system the health issues are bound to compound and lead to complication. Conditions such as Diabetes and Blood Pressure etc.can still be resolved back to normalcy and off drugs but the time is dependant on the extent of chronicity, the response of the person immunity and the skill of the homoeopath...
