INTRODUCTION 

Our body is a very sophisticated machine that has reached such a level of perfection that is almost invincible. If you have any doubts about this statement just look at it this way for a moment. A simple little defect in your blood sugar level, a little twitch in your nervous system, a little fraction of a milligram secreted by a gland that would be omitted, a very tiny flaw in the setting in all the thousands of chemical reactions happening every seconds in your body and you wouldn’t be able to get out of bed and make a single step in the morning. This is amazing and it deserves our greatest gratitude to whatever universal force or intelligence that has engineered all that or even simply put it on the back of the natural selection if you wish, this is still quite a realization we must admit.

We tend to look at the empty part of the glass and panic about the more tragic consequences if our discomforts would get worst. We have been educated to think this way instead of looking at it in a more logical and pro-active manner. When a symptom shows up, instead of thinking that it is a feeling to get rid of, if we could just see it as a sensor flashing in our dashboard telling us that it is time to bring our vehicle to the garage and to readjust it’s system. If we would compare it to a car this could means to change the oil, add some fuel, clean the filters, repair the electrical system, recharge the battery, something in those lines, right? Well it is the same for our body. When something is flashing in our physical dashboard it is not that something is doing wrong, it is a warning from your most loyal friend, it is a healthy reaction to an unhealthy situation that simply requires some attention and care so you can bring it back in alignment with health and your comfort zone.

The human body in normal and natural conditions is a self-healing, self-renewing, self-cleansing organism. As I said before it is a stunning machine that has evolved and fine tuned over thousands of years. When the right conditions are created, a vibrant health and well-being is its natural state. We have separated ourselves from the ways of nature and living under much less natural conditions nowadays. The toxicity of our planet and environment is undeniable. The air we breathe, the water we drink and shower with, the foods we eat, the cosmetics we use and the buildings we live and work in, are loaded with toxic chemicals that alone or in combination cause diseases, much suffering and even death. When we remove these burdens and add what supports health, our bodies bounce back into radiant health as if by magic. This is natural, common-sense medicine, enabling the body to protect itself from threats, to heal, regenerate and even rejuvenate itself, like it is designed and programmed to do.

With this in mind, you can keep more positive interpretations of your symptoms and adopt a pro-active attitude when facing any discomforts that we tend to judge too quickly as illnesses or dangerous diseases. Remember that these are simply yellow or red lights in your dashboard, simple warnings … If we simply treat the symptoms instead of restoring the alignment this could be compared to covering your dashboard with a thick cloth so you are not disturbed by those warnings anymore, the threat would still be there.
