Health is really simple, but how does it work? Coming right up

everybody wants to be healthy everybody it's this big catch word everybody wants
to be healthy it's a good thing but very few people understand it and as a
society we think of health as the lack of disease we take better care of our
cars than we do ourselves we take our cars in for service before they break
but we wait until something happens then we have a symptom before we do something
about the body for the most part so we want to change our way of thinking about
what health is and health is when everything is working the way it's
supposed to when there is adequate function in the body and disease is the
lack of function disease cannot happen if everything is working the way it's
supposed to disease cannot develop the function in the body is everything that
the body does to maintain all of the systems and all the actions and the
digestion and the immune system and the movement and the thought and so forth
all of that is function there's something generated that results in that
function think of that as light light is something that we can see we can measure
it we can quantify it we know what what it is and function is the same way it's
something that's there it's something real but darkness doesn't exist darkness
it not is not measurable there is no source of darkness darkness is the lack
of light and disease works the same way just like darkness
it's disease is the lack of function so if you think of function as light and
the body then disease is simply the absence of that light or not enough
light okay so if we understand that then it makes no sense
to treat the disease that would be like going around to treat a shadow okay we
have a light source and we have something shading something creating a
shadow and then we wouldn't go in and try to treat the shadow do something
about the shadow we remove the thing that's shading it and that's how we have
to start thinking that the body has an infinite intelligence that manages and
balances things and if something isn't working there's something interfering
and we now have to get rid of the thing interfering we have to provide the
things that create function we have to remove the things that create
interference so think about a plant so here we have two flowers and we have the
sun shining on them but there's a fence that's shading one of them so the plants
in this case really like a lot of sunlight so the one in the Sun is very
healthy it's colorful it's strong it's very very resistant to wind and stress
but this one growing in the shade it doesn't get what it needs it's not
getting the Sun the water and the soil it might get water and soil but it's not
getting enough Sun because there's a fence shading it so it's very pale and
very weak so what would we do in this case it's really really obvious right we
just go in and we remove the fence or we remove the plant into the Sun where it
can get the things that it needs but if we think from a medical mindset of
treating symptoms with drugs by treating the problem rather than creating a
solution then we might go in and say oh that plants really really pale you got
some paint I think we need to paint it because it looks really pale yeah that
that's good so now for a little while if we do a really good job it will look a
little better but it won't be any healthier because there's a lack of
function it's not getting the things that it has to have and then we said
well it's it's kind of fragile it's almost
falling over by itself I think we need to go in and put some struts give it
some some crutches support it a little bit and again that's not gonna solve the
problem we couldn't even go one step further say oh let's give it some more
water let's give it some more some better nutrients let's plant it in
better soil but if it's not getting the Sun it has to have then it's not going
to be a healthy plant so the same thing works with humans that we don't
necessarily have those exact requirements they're similar but we have
chemical requirements because humans are we have a chemical aspect we have a
physical aspect we have an emotional aspect that can change physiology and
function so we have chemical physical and emotional requirements so these are
the things that create function these are the things that the body has to have
to produce the appropriate energy and signals and communication and so forth
nutrition from whole foods provides the resources the fuel and the building
blocks movement and signals create the signals that the brain and the body has
to have use it or lose it anything that you don't use is going to degenerate
it's going to atrophy if we don't have joy and purpose we're going to be in a
constant state of stress our body is going to start shutting down and we're
not going to function at optimum so these are the things that create the
appropriate function then and these are the ones we want to create more of we
want to put more of these into our lives then the other thing is the things that
are interfering and these we want to reduce such as toxins heavy metals and
medicine because these are all foreign to the body they are not things that fit
into in normal physiology that the body actually needs for fuel or building
blocks these are things that either interfere or treat symptoms medicine
work to reduce a symptom by blocking signals the body wants more signals it
wants function not less and so even though
medicine can treat a symptom which can be a good thing in an emergency it does
never produce more function physical if we're sedentary if we have physical
trauma if we have poor posture all of these interfere they reduce the amount
of motion that creates signals that is the juice if you will for the brain the
nutrient juice for the brain emotional if we have stress despair and overwhelm
constantly we put the body in a state of stress which will shut down it's very
destructive we can't get the body into a state of rebuilding as long as we have a
lot of these present humans have chemical physical emotional needs
plants have sun water and soil needs anything that's not there we could try
to raise a plant with water and soil but and not enough Sun but it's not going to
be a healthy plant in the long run if we try to just add physical and emotional
support but we're toxic and efficient we're not going to be healthy if we eat
right but we're worried we're not going to be healthy in the long run so optimal
health depends on addressing the body holistically addressing all the factors
that influence health so health is not the mere absence of disease disease is
the lack of enough function just like darkness is not enough light so how many
people have a dark switch at home I didn't think so
okay there is no source of darkness there is no source of disease there is
only lack of function and lack of light so we have to start understanding what
biology is and how the body works we have to stop thinking in terms of
symptoms even though emergency intervention can save a lot of lives the
emergency wants the emergency is over we have to start looking at rebuilding the
body by giving it what it needs that's the only way we can build optimum health
and long run so if you enjoy that please let me know
write down your questions your comments etc please share this with as many
people as possible because if they start understanding this then we can be a true
health instead of just treating symptoms and if you're new to the channel and you
