By the way, lets talk about genome and genetics. Often I come across a misunderstanding of this issue. Once it was believed that if there are about 100 000 proteins in our body, there should be 100 000 genes and about 20 000 regulatory genes. We dreamed that identification of the DNA sequence will help us to control diseases and abilities. It turned out that there are only 25 000 genes. In comparison, a simple Drosophila fly has 16 000. A question arose: how does this system work and controlled? A science of epigenetics answers these questions. The point is in understanding the epigenetic information landscape that controls the genome. Again, we see here the central control by the nervous system.
Finally, there are fungal infections. In 1g of soil can live up to several hundred thousand fungi. Fungi help to quickly transform substances and make the soil fertile. In biology, this means a process that requires transformation mourning, that wasnt live through. For example, someone went to study in another city. After some time he noticed a fungal nail infection. This problem is often associated with hygiene: maybe he put on someones slippers? But in fact this man didnt live through the mourning saying good bye to the land of his ancestors. In this case you can make a lot of effort without much success. I remember one important case of a man about 47 years old. He had a set of various symptoms; in addition, there was almost complete absence of nail plates on big toes of both feet, only some crumbs at the base of the nails. Some symptoms disappeared, others appeared, everything was as usual. After about 3,5 years since our first meeting I noticed that his nails had completely restored. For me it was a shock, since I was sure that the nails had been dead.
When you cut your finger, do you give commands to the cells how to work? Our body somehow recovers, according to the preconceived plan (remember, before any work there is a plan). Some call this plan the «health matrix.» It is confirmed by the case Roger Gilchrist (director of WELLNESS INSTITUTE, USA) spoke about: «I was in one American province and paid attention to a man with a crooked index finger. I asked, What happened to the finger? He answered that during some agricultural work he accidentally chopped off the finger and then it has grown crooked. To the question, Do you know that fingers dont grow back?, the man shrugged, as if it was obvious stupidity.» For him this restriction didnt exist. If there is no limit, then there is no problem.
However, it is important to understand that the brain is not smart, its an ideal performer. Some people at our lectures on the principles of health ask questions or even raise objections «Well, I answer, then give me wow-wow.» They freeze, as it happens when you meet something unknown. Therefore, if you want to do something, you must learn how. It applies to any area of life, including restoration to health and strength.
Understanding the principles of body work makes doctor a philosopher. A doctor must reflect (see the article «Interactions. My own thoughts»). Drawing on knowledge, observation and reflection, Dr. Still, the founder of osteopathy, spoke about the importance of anatomy, physiology, chemistry and the ability to think. He claimed that the Great Architect provided for everything that is necessary for human life and health, and called it the «Divine Law.» Today we call it physiology and neurophysiology. This shocked both doctors and various theologians (of past and present). Only the incredible efficiency of Dr. Stills work with any problems, the gratitude and respect of people, prevented them from reprisal against the doctor.
For achieving recovery, you must understand the «Divine Law» and apply tools given by Nature. There were many bright intellects in the history of mankind, but no one was able to come up with something better than the Great Architect. There were only attempts to complement His work, as if He couldnt foresee something in the plan. A doctors task is to understand the plan and to use tools that were created by the Great Architect, to follow the principles (see «Autobiography» by A. T. Still). Anyone who has read this book, as well as «A Young Doctors Notebook» by M.A. Bulgakov, understand that the lack of reflection creates a need to follow traditions. This principle remains intact in the second half of the XIX century, at the beginning of the XX century and in the XXI century as well.
Therefore, it is important to remember that in treatment we follow not the human laws, traditions or other fabrications, but the «laws created not by human hands» (Dr. Still).
Bert Hellinger writes in «Success in Life»: «Success is the law of life. All living things are successful. Here all depends on whether we accept life as it is At the same time life is love. All human life unfolds through love. All successful relationships are love relationships. This basic law applies in all areas.»
Isnt it just brilliant? If the heart doesnt work well, death follows. If the lungs fail, death comes. If relationships are unsuccessful, there is no life. If you want to live, you must be successful and fill your life with love! Otherwise Well, you know
If you still doubt about greatness of this world, its beauty, multidimensionality and variability, open your eyes, open your ears and other doors of perception. Trust your feelings, not your thoughts and memories of the past, which no longer exists. Remember, the World itself and our perception of it are two different things. The World is as we see it. If we perceive the world from the perspective of our ideas, frameworks, traditions, trauma or beliefs, it can look horrible. But it doesnt mean that the World is like that, it means that we see it like that. And if you become an observer, researcher, if you replace fear with curiosity (which is natural for children), you can open another world, amazing, beautiful, magical and filled with love!
If youll remember the above well, conclusions about treatment become clear. Then it would be easy to understand what you need to do in an emergency and what needs to be done to heal a person. Youll see the modest role of a doctor in humans life and the role of a person in his or her recovery (see «Interactions. Your greatness»).
Now, if youll hear or maybe tell yourself or someone that to have a symptom is good, it will be clear why it is truth. A symptom tells us about a whole chain of changes that come from an initial stress. The symptom serves as a reminder of what is still unresolved and forgotten. Words of Dr. R. Hamer have a deep meaning: a disease is not an enemy that must be destroyed; it is a friend, a special biological program for adapting to stress. I would say, that a symptom is a wonderful thing! It serves as a guiding thread on the road to Happiness! I realized it after 700 personal decodings
Its obvious that miraculous drugs, magic injections, surgery or manipulations cannot lead to health (see «Interactions. Medicines»). Remember a proverb: «Medicus curat, natura sanat» a physician treats, nature heals. This is a great cure for the «syndrome of God» in some arrogant boasters. If you create conditions for the normal functioning of an organism, it restores itself, relying on the internal plan of the «health matrix».
Therefore, to change a symptom, be it physical or mental, it is necessary to change the «health matrix», the fabric of your life. As if some rails led you to one station, but you need another one. In this case you get on a new track and head to where you need to be.
For successful healing it is worth to remember four rules, written by Dr. Still:
1. The body is a single whole
If someone argues that kidneys can work on their own and the circulatory system is independent, such claims have no meaning in physiology and deserve a unequivocal attitude toward mental abilities of the speaker. Dr. Still also reminded of the wholeness of the Body, Mind and Spirit.
2. The body is a self-healing and self-regulating system
We have already talked about it, discussing the «health matrix». We need certain conditions for recovery, not magic pills or manipulations. These conditions involve a delivery of the necessary substances and removal of metabolic products.
3. The rule of the artery
If there is an unobstructed blood flow and timely outflow, the metabolic processes will proceed normally. In this case there is no room for the disease.
4. The structure determines the function, the function affects the structure
A kidney cant work as a heart, a lung cant function as a muscle. They have different structures. However, if you load a muscle, it changes, it becomes larger, the bone, tendons and ligaments between the bones thicken. The same applies to the lung if it works with an increased load up to the proliferation of cells, which means lung cancer. If, as a result of stress, a tension arose in the system and blood vessels and nerves become pinched, function will be impaired. Disorder of function will lead to the destruction of a structure.
Encountering some symptom, we must ask ourselves: what happens with the blood supply in the problem area?
Here it is worth to talk about why Dr. Still called this science osteopathy. Although he speaks clearly about it in his books, I didnt immediately realize why. Anyone who has seen a schema of a human skeleton, vascular and nervous system, can mentally combine them. And now anyone, even without medical education, can answer a question if there is any part of the body that isnt connected with the skeletal system. During lectures the answer is usually given in 1015 seconds of course not! Tension in any part of the body, in any organ, vessel or nerve trunk will lead to limited mobility. Bone is the hardest tissue, its easy to feel and analyze its mobility. After carrying out the technique its easy to double-check changes in bone mobility, be it a rib, vertebra, femur, 8 wrist bones or a temporal bone. For 7 years I pondered a question «Why Dr. Still used a bone in the name of his science?» You answered this question in 15 seconds. Here I see the only benefit of a specialist: saving of time. A high-level specialist can explain the most complex problem in a simple phrase and help you to ask a right question so you can answer it yourself. Then no one will confuse you with fanciful fantasies.
Now that we are armed with the principles of health, our own experience and thoughts, lets think about the principles of treatment.
The principles of treatment
The Great Mechanic didnt leave anything incompletein the mechanism of His main masterpiece,man, giving everything for his comfort and longevity.
Dr. A.T. Still, «Autobiography»In this chapter I would like to reveal the simplicity of the principles of treatment, answer a question about an importance of understanding a living organism, tell you about working with cause-effect relations and explain a role of doctors personality.
Of course, this text will be rather big, perhaps something will seem complicated. For example, some doctors find an article on the principles of health incomprehensible and too voluminous. It seems to me amazing!
Understanding theoretical foundations, the development of practical skills makes treatment and recovery simple and easy way with specific technologies. Therefore, medical science is very simple because of its specificity.
I would like to start with conventional medicine, also called official, allopathic, etc. Someone criticizes it, someone praises. Lets think
We accumulated a certain amount of knowledge, theories and practical manipulations with differing degrees of effectiveness. When a tooth aches, people dont think, «What to do? What is the reason? They go to a specialist wholl help. When the arm is broken, hardly anyone thinks «What to do?» They run to a specialist. When blood pressure rises, people too seek help from a specialist, as with many other problems. Why? Because there are wonderful technologies to solve problems in the short term.
