Sickness is a Message from Your Body
So, when I got to Manila, I was already drained. In the evening of Thursday, I was already feeling bad and flu already set in around 10PM. Then I remembered, what if I followed the instructions of one of my mentors (Bo Sanchez) about how to get well from a common cold or influenza. So, I just did it.
The next day, I took in only fresh fruit juices (pineapple and banana shake without sugar) and lots of water. I just stayed in bed thinking about how I loved my wife and daughters and how much they loved me. I thanked God for allowing me to get sick to rest my tired body, too. At the end of the day, I think a had 2.5 liters (4 large glasses) of pineapple-banana shake and more than 5 liters of (10 large glasses) of water. I also decided to sleep early without air conditioning, inhaling only fresh air that naturally came into the sala (yes, I slept in the sofa on the living room since fresh air was most abundant there).
Your Body Can Heal Itself!
When I woke up the next day, some 36 hours after I got flu, I was already healed. No fever, no running nose and no involuntary sneezes. Amazing! What's even more amazing is that all these healing came without the aid of any kind of medicine (although I took my usual dose of natural, not synthetic, vitamin and mineral supplements). Truly amazing!
Prescription Drugs or Laughter and Plants?
I remembered reading from Bo Sanchez's article that our body was designed to heal itself. Our body can manufacture all kinds of medicines needed to heal any kind of disease. This knowledge, when understood well, is very powerful. It is powerful enough to shut down the biggest pharmaceuticals in the world. No wonder pharmaceutical companies spend a lot of money in TV commercials, print ads, billboards, med reps and sponsoring the bi-monthly trips of doctors to conferences all over the world. Oops! Did I say too much? Shhhh... I have nothing against ads, med reps and doctors. These are important. What I am concerned about is the kind of education the large pharmacies and our doctors-of-late have been teaching us about healing ourselves from diseases. They forget to tell us or intentionally hide from us the fact that our bodies have the capacity to heal itself through good diet, enough rest and having a cheerful heart. In fact, the Bible speaks about that in the Book of Proverbs,
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. - Proverbs 17:22 (NIV)So, what is your first medicine when you get sick? Is your first reaction popping a pill with those synthetic medicines (that causes upset stomach, headache or even high blood)? Or will you go back to the basics of having a cheerful heart and eating right as outlined in the Bible which says,
I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food... - I give every green plant for food. - Genesis 1:29-30 (NIV)Can you share your stories of how you healed yourself using natural means?
May you achieve true success!
