It is better to try and understand what makes the body, which normally is so intelligent and in balance, bring about a state of dis-ease.
When we breath for instance we use 280 million molecules of hemoglobin, each of which picks up 8 atoms of oxygen. The lungs use a quart of blood in order to take breath. In a quart of blood there are 5 trillion of red blood cells. The whole process is therefore on such a grand scale, it is difficult to imagine with what precision the body keeps itself in balance.
It is really amazing that we have been able to discover so much about the how the body works.
Unfortunately what is happening amidst this knowledge is that we have forgotten how the experience of life itself affects people.
As Professor Eric Cassel always used to say, when the doctor asks you questions, he does not ask with a view to knowing what is the matter but rather what symptoms do you have and where do these symptoms fit in with what disease.
In Quantum Medicine we would ask what is it that makes you ill? In this field of medicine we are looking at the psychological and the metaphysical reason on illness and thus finding the truth of why the disease is there in the first place.
Lets look at further research which was done on colds. This is very interesting because the findings were that only 12% of these cases got colds or any virus which was actually placed inside the nose. Also people were asked to stand out in the cold and in the rain, put their feet in water, none of which made the slightest bit of difference.
It is all down to the immune system, when the immune system is strong no amount of virus, bacteria or disease that you come into contact with can affect you.
But when the immune system is low and you manifest a viral or bacterial disease, the use of antibodies or any other chemical that is toxic creates a depletion of the immune system leaving the body unable to cope.
One then has to take notice of what is going on in the immune system as this is so important to keeping fit and healthy.
- Are we receiving enough nutrients, vitamins in our diet?
- Are we eating and resting properly?
- Are we carrying too much weight?
- Are we happy and taking enough exercise?
- Are we spending too much time alone?
Every doctor knows these affect patients but how many will ask a patient to correct their way of life.
These are important points however and there has been intense research in the last few years to suggest that the immune system depletes itself with age hence heart disease, cancer, arthritus, diabetes etc. However we do not have to go down this road if we become aware of how to overcome; depression, lack of fitness, aloneness and so on.
It is very true that as we become aware of our thoughts we can learn to discipline our negative thoughts to positive thoughts. Indeed very many research work all over the world has shown how strong the mind is when overcome by disease of the body, its first priority is to overcome what is not natural to us.
The mind can indeed overcome the disease and also it can keep you ill depending on how you use your thoughts.
Also if you go into the realms of meditation and prayer, there are also vast amount of research to show that 80% of people who meditate daily are ill less often than people who don't, and need less operations.
There was a research team from Japan in the last 5 years who found patients who had experienced grief, shock, depression and stress suffered from cancer. Having asked some to try holistic treatment and methods they were very surprised at high result of recovery.
Judge Thomas Troward in his book 'The Creative Process in the individual' argues that 'a new order of experience is beginning to open up to all of us, for well authenticated instances of the cure of disease by the invisible power of the spirit are steadily increasing in numbers. The facts are now too patent to be denied, what we want is better knowledge of power which accounts for them. And if this is the beginning, by what reason can we limit it'.
Introduction to Quantum Medicine & Metaphysics
The healing ability of our bodies and brains are nothing short of the miraculous.
Until recently it was believed that once a connection in the brain was broken, it was broken forever. But we know now this is not so. When one connection dies another is formed. We know that brain cells can grow new dentritic branches. This is why people can recover from brain damage caused by head injuries and strokes. It means that new brain cells are always taking over the ones that have died and they also forge a new thought pathway.
Despite the overwhelming superiority of the body's know – how, which scientists freely agree, the understanding of the body as a whole however is still being researched. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus made the famous remark, “ You cannot step in the same river twice', BECAUSE THE RIVER IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING BY NEW WATER RUNNING IN.
The same holds true for the body. All of us are much more like a river than anything frozen in time and space. Ninety eight percent of the atoms in your body were not there a year ago. The configuration of the bone cells remains somewhat constant, but atoms of all kinds pass freely back and forth through the cell walls, and by that means you acquire a new skeleton every three months.
It is like living in a building where the bricks are changed every year. If you keep the same blueprint, then it will still look like the same building. But it will not be the same in actuality. There is a Higher Intelligence that holds and balances this together That is obvious from a physiological aspect, but intelligence is so changeable, so alive, that medical textbooks devote almost no space to it at all.
The basic understanding most of us have about ourselves comes from thinking and feeling, which seems only natural. But we know very little about the silence and how it exercises control over us. The head and the heart, it seems, are not the whole person. The stream of consciousness, which is constantly full of thoughts, act as a screen to keep the silence hidden. The solid appearance of the physical body is another kind of screen, since we cannot see the molecules that are being constantly moved within us, much less their blue print which is what we would like to change.
Every impulse of intelligence gives rise to a thought or a molecule, which spends a certain time in the relative world –the world of the senses- before the next impulse follows. In that sense, every thought is like a piece of the future when it is created, a piece of the present when it is experienced, and a piece of the past after it has gone.
