Time… the reason that doctors don’t treat root cause of the symptoms from which you suffer. The natural process of holistic healing in the body takes time and a good deal of it. So, if you are looking to take a magic pill and be pronounced “all better”, you are in the wrong place. The best thing we can do is study the issue, remove the barriers to healing and supplement with the products that will promote a natural and mood elevating healing. We provide the material optimization side of the equation, but the barriers must be dealt with on an individual basis as they are unique to everyone. And because nearly all system dysregulation (called disease within the medical community) in the body has its origins in inflammation(1)(4), this is precisely the place to start. I have come to find that chronic inflammation is the root cause of most system dysregulation; especially those that have grown near exponentially over the past few decades(3). And until this vicious inflammatory cycle is reigned in, healing within the body cannot begin – no matter what magic pill the pharmaceutical industry promises next.
What are my Barriers?
Now that we know the root cause of system dysregulation, let’s look at the barriers. What kind of barriers must you remove? For some it is getting adequate sleep as the body cannot heal without sleep. Receiving inadequate sleep can produce a down-ward spiral of inflammation as a lack of sleep adds stress to the body, more stress produces more inflammation, more inflammation produces more pain, more pain provides the body with less quality sleep. Around and around it goes. For others it is drinking alcohol which floods the body with sugars and toxins, leaving the body in an inflammation storm that, if repeated often enough, can cause chronic inflammation leading to numerous inflammatory system dysregulations, bodily tissue damage throughout the circulatory and digestive systems specifically, but many other systems as well. Chronic inflammation due to chronic alcohol consumption causes intestinal damage leading to permeability (or leaky gut) which allows toxins to enter the bloodstream by leaching though the ravaged lining of the intestines. The presence of these toxins in the blood stream cause the immune system to go into overdrive in an attempt to cleanse them from the body. Chronic inflammation even causes the malfunction of the immune and lymphatic systems and can even alter cellular signaling – turning healthy cells into cancerous, tumor cells.
The alcohol is eventually purged, but the toxins and foreign material that leach through the intestinal walls remain in the blood stream and build into yet another symptom here and a symptom there. And there is no exit ramp for the hamster wheel, unless you are willing to deal with this barrier. For others, the issue might be found in the vise of sugars and sweets. As you can imagine, this vice takes a very similar path to the one mentioned above for alcohol because they both become blood sugars and toxins which generate inflammation storms. Whatever your barriers are, they must be identified and dealt with. Each barrier provides a hinderance to reaching your health goals and if you are not ready to lay them down yet, that is okay, but you might as well save your money and return when you are serious about your health. For those that are ready to lay down those things that need to be purged from your daily routine so that you can achieve your health goals, welcome! You are among friends who will support you, pray for you, and provide well-researched materials to achieve the healing you desire.
How to Bring the Healing?
We suggest a multi-pronged approach to the holistic healing of system dysregulation. The first is to list the symptoms. This should allow you to define the system or systems that have become dysregulated. Once the system(s) are defined, then define the root cause(s) and the barriers to healing. Finally, if you are ready to deal with these barriers or habits that need to be purged from your daily life, proceed to the treatment phase. Here you will start treatment of both the root cause and the system that needs correcting while you simultaneously eliminate the barriers, improve your sleep quality and quantity (see the blog The Greatest Single Factor) and maximize the your nutrition intake (see blogs A Raw Deal and The Einkorn of It All) so that your body has the raw materials needed to repair the internal damage as the root cause is slowly eliminated. This is the road to wellness. This is how you step off that hamster wheel of symptom/pill, symptom/pill, symptom/pill that the medical community has you on. This is the only way I know, and it is my honor to share it with you.
No Cost Consultation and Treatment Plan:
If you do not see the herbal treatment for the specific system dysregulation you suffer from, please contact me and I would be happy to set up a consultation. We would meet (over video chat is fine) and discuss your issues and then I will research and return with a treatment plan that you can either accept or reject at no cost to you. Whether you choose to heal here or elsewhere, I pray healing, holistic healing be upon you.
Peace be with you,
Thomas Storey
