The Body Never Hurts Itself

This topic is not commonly understood in conventional medicine. Disease is viewed as random, having no real preventive mechanisms. The body is seen as incapable of healing or protecting itself. Conventional medicine takes a very odd approach to disease. They detect illness after it has occurred. They cut the problem out of the body as if that actually helps. When the body is in a disease state, cutting out the problem does not bring balance to the body as a whole. You can’t just get rid of any problem by cutting it out with surgery. Conventional medicine uses toxic chemical substances we call medications to poison the body and manipulate it to do foreign functions.

This is a very limited view of the body and a very poor understanding of how the body works. It’s no wonder people don’t understand how the body functions. It’s just not common knowledge in our society.

Today, I want to stress that the body only works to maintain homeostasis within itself. Homeostasis is a balanced state, one in which the body works very efficiently to maintain. If the body is diseased, ill, in pain, etc., this is not a normal state for the body. The body will try to correct these imbalances, however, many times, there are factors preventing the body from doing this. Improper care of the body such as poor nutrition, lack of quality sleep, lack of sunshine, lack of exercise, toxins, all of these things contribute to the body having a hard time performing its necessary functions to maintain homeostasis.

Once you understand that it’s the body’s most basic function to maintain a balance, you’ll understand that disease isn’t random, and the body is not out to get itself.

Diseased states of the body result as defense mechanisms for the body so the body can preserve itself as best as it can for as long as it can. A diseased state is often a result of a sick, improperly cared for body that is doing the best it can, and the alternative to the disease would be far worse.

The most important message I want to get across today is that the body is smart. It doesn’t purposely harm itself because this goes against its basic physiologic design. It can’t purposely harm itself because that’s not how it is designed. It simply just can’t do that.
