Re: Weston Price and Pau D'Arco, preconditions for healing

Rob,


The Key to Health and Rejuvenation focuses more on setting the precondonditons for healing to occur rather than on fixing the symptoms of existing imbalances. The body heals itself; a remdy cannot do that, no matter how good it is.

Healing is controlled by the body, not by medicine. A good medicine can be pleasing to the body, which triggers a healing response (placebo). Food can do the same. That's why Hippocrates said that food is your best medicine. Anything that truly satisfies your body (versus just your senses) makes it whole, healthy. Art, music, nature, fresh air, all can trigger a healing response. Expressing love to your body and being grateful for what it does for you, encourages it to do an even better job. Telling it how bad a job it does and then punishing it with foods, drugs, alcohol, long nights, poor nourishment, inhibits healing. The power of healing always lies within you. When you start practising it, your world lights up.

To be honest, I have never studied the work of the two men, and therefore am not in the position to comment.
