Do you go to the doctor to get healed?

 

Or do you go to Nature?

 

In other words, what is your underlying belief about where true healing comes from?

 

Just as importantly, what is your action when “push comes to shove?”

 

We lived on a lake. My childhood dream realized. There was a hot tub and a dock. I would jump into the lake after the hot tub and relish the experience.

 

One time I jumped and came up with a cut toe. I had grazed a rusty barrel at the bottom of the lake.

 

The veins were dark above my left ankle and the darkness was moving up my leg.

 

My doctor prescribed an antibiotic as this kind of infection can take your leg and your life.

 

Having taken a herbal course, I opted to the herb goldenseal instead.

 

Goldenseal has the quality of an antibiotic.

 

The following days caused my wife concern. She was urging me to take the doctor prescribed antibiotic. The veins continued to get darker. I was able to stay the course and just take the goldenseal.

 

It worked.

 

My veins healed and the infection healed.

 

While my wife was “reading me the riot act,” I had misgivings internally though putting on a brave face.

 

I chose to trust Nature…even though, at times, I was shaking like a leaf inside.

 

The experience has cemented my belief that Nature is the ultimate healer.

 

It also caused me to reflect how deep the belief (programming) is in our modern society. The belief that the medical system, as personified in the doctor, is where we go to get healed.

 

That the modern advances in medicine are the ultimate authority.

 

That herbs, diet, vitamins, meditation, yoga, affirmations and the rest are all fine and dandy. But when it gets serious, when we are up against the wall, we go to the doctor.

 

The modern medical system performs miracles. I thank God for the system for saving my eyesight with cataract surgery and keeping Wet Macular Degeneration at bay.

 

Without the advances in modern medicine, I would be blind.

 

I do not and cannot belittle modern medicine.

 

That said, I view it as a set of tools. Used appropriately, miracles can unfold. In my case, the miracle of eyesight retained.

 

There are lots of examples of healing from what the medical system classifies as incurable diseases.

 

I had occasion to interview the “father of modern herbology” John Christopher. He wrote the textbook for my herbal course.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Christopher_(herbalist)

 

He told me there are no incurable diseases, only incurable people.

 

This brings us to the question:

 

The conditions I have are so serious, can I reasonably   believe they can be healed?

 

Why should I undertake the exercise of listing the conditions I have and making a plan to heal them? After all, the doctor told me (fill in the blank)___________ can’t be healed.

 

Diabetes, thyroid malfunction, stage 4 cancer, etc.

 

I wonder if the question really is: “Can I change my belief that Nature can heal all?”

 

If John Christopher is right, can I change from being an incurable person to one who believes all conditions can be healed?

 

And to make that change, does it take the willingness to change beliefs?
