Detox and The Healing Crisis
Modern medicine feels, in most cases, that the elimination of the symptom is the same as elimination of the disease. Therefore, most physicians and surgeons tend to treat symptoms instead of removing causes. Unfortunately, the elimination of the symptom is not the same as elimination of the disease. Illness does not occur without cause and causes may originate in many areas of the body. The underlying roots of illness and disease must be identified and removed before complete wellness can occur. Symptoms are expressions of the body’s attempt to defend itself, to adapt and recover. They express the body’s attempt to heal, but are not the cause of disease. Symptoms, therefore, should not be suppressed by treatment. To do so is, in effect, telling your body to Shut-Up when instead you should be listening to what it has to say.
