Re:YES! YES!
I have type 1 diabetes which doctors say is an autoimmune disease. I have also come to the conclusion that the body is attacking itself for a reason.
Thank you, Andreas!
The body is not dumb. I don't believe it makes mistakes. I believe that everything the body does is for a reason. It produces painful symptoms to get you to change your habits and stop poisoning youself. But if you do not listen eventually you will die, as in the case with advanced cancer where there was no chemo or radiation involved(this kills people)and type 1 diabetes.
But you know what, who knows what would happen to a type 1 diabetic if you didn't intervene and give them insulin(a drug that only further poisons the body). Maybe the body would sort itself out. There is something called a 'honeymoon period' where for some 'unknown' reason a type 1 diabetic, shortly after diagnosis, starts making insulin again. I think that this is the body trying to heal itself. But of course most people continue to live an unhealthy lifestyle and the honeymoon period stops, they then have to take insulin for the rest of their lives.
I'm determined to eliminate all possible reasons why my body is not able function normally, so that it can. I've read of a few people who have been able to stop taking insulin, and I've certainly reduced mine a LOT since eating a natural raw diet and cleansing. I think that one of my biggest problems is heavy metals and I feel so much better when cleansing them out. So that is my main focus right now, cleansing out the heavy metals.
I used to have OCD(runs in the family). It was mostly obsessive thoughts, but I would also take a little metal thing used to squeeze pimples and poke at spots on my skin until I bruised. It was so relaxing. I would just stop thinking all my obsessive thoughts(anyone who's experienced this knows it can be torture)and the pain would produce 'good feeling' hormones. I used to ask people to hide it from me so that I wasn't able to poke at myself. But I would always feel such intense anxiety if I couldn't that I would eventually make someone get it for me or find it myself.
That was a year ago. Now after months and months of a clean diet I no longer feel that way. All the depression, anxiety, nervousness, and OCD I had is gone! The only thing that remains is the occasional insomnia, diabetes, and chronic fatigue.
I feel such an intense well-being that I never had, not even as a child. A healthy lifestyle is the cure for all ills, including psychological problems. Because it is all connected. Every little uncomfort you feel is a sign that your body is not functioning smoothly, because you do not put the right things into it. Once you do, your body will be able to carry on all it's fuctions perfectly. Making a very happy body, and a very happy you!
