55 The Holistic Medicine Way Natural medicine, or holistic medicine, yields to nature and its everlasting laws. It’s not preoccupied with diagnoses or cures simply because of the belief that what causes a disease to exist in the human body is the body itself being incomplete. The laws responsible for illness cannot exist in a healthy and complete body. A good allegory to that perception is that darkness cannot exist in the presence of light. Holistic medicine perceives the body as a whole (body, mind and spirit) and not by the sum of its organs. According to holistic medicine, everything you absorb (attitudes, beliefs, chemicals or food) directly affects your system as a whole in a negative or positive way. For that reason, holistic medicine aims to avoid any intrusive approaches to healing but rather nourishes the approach of building a strong immune system, increasing the body’s functionality and enhancing spiritual and mental strengths and stabilities. Natural medicine yields to nature and believes in the individual obligation to clean the body from any unnatural residues. A body that is cleansed from any unnatural elements is more harmonized with nature and thus more rejuvenated and vitalized. Unnatural elements can be anything from synthetic or unnatural foods, polluted air and water, inadequate exercise, accumulations of toxins in your body and any extreme activity that does not yield to the laws of nature. A disease occurs every time the body deteriorates when it is in an imbalanced state or disharmony due to excessive toxicity or inadequate nutrition (deficiency of force). The symptoms of the disease can only point out that something is wrong and that the body is in a state of imbalance and danger. Jeff Martin – Heartburn No More Page 55
