Wisdom's Symptoms

Don't make the mistake that so many do:  rushing off to the medical doctor at the first sign of illness.  Instead learn to listen to your body.  It's trying to tell you something.

“Symptoms are not something “wrong” with the body! Symptoms are what’s “right” with the body!!
Symptoms represent the efforts of the body’s intelligence (its mind, if you will) in the self-healing autogenic system to defend, cleanse and heal itself from a variety of infective agents, toxic sludge, and/or stresses. The body/mind intelligence creates fever, inflammation, pain, discharge, nausea or whatever is necessary in order to heal itself of the offense.

Medical science today is slowly, but, increasingly recognizing symptoms as adaptive responses of the body to a cause. Standard tests of pathology define the process of inflammation as the manner in which the body seeks to wall off, heat up, and burn out infective agents or foreign matter. The cough has long been known as a protective mechanism for clearing breathing passages. Diarrhea has been shown to be a defensive effort of the body to remove pathogens or irritants more quickly from the colon. Discharges are understood as the body’s way of ridding itself of dead bacteria, viruses, and damaged or spent cells. Even high blood pressure is an important defense and adaptation to the internal and external stresses that a person experiences.”

So listen up!  Your body's talking!  Remember: the medical doctors are still 'practicing', but your body is the expert on what's going on internally.

7 Principles of Health

Don's extensive research has resulted in his 7 Principles of Health.  Adhere to these Principles and see how much better you feel.

Whether you call the nutritional components of the brain/nervous system foods:  Botanical Nervines, Ortho-Molecular Infusions, or any of the other made up Latin names for purposes of sound “scientific”, it’s still as simple as eating common whole foods that support your body’s Autogenic Self Healing System.  At the end of the day, most, if not all, psychiatric disorders are due to significant deficiencies in key nutrients that are present in whole foods.  Nerve disorders are healed and re-missed in the same way.  Embracing the 7 Principles of Health allows healing to naturally occur.

The 7 Principles of Health that lead to the Gift of Sleep, Dreams, Imagination and Creativity, Intuition and Supra-Luminal Enlightened Recall of the Past and Future Events:

1.  Breathing fresh circulating air;
2.  Fresh clean water;
3.  Sunshine;
4.  Walking/movement (life is movement);
5.  Whole foods (especially local, fresh, in season);
6.  Loving touching (non-toxic) relationships;
7.  Passion, pleasure in all you do…creating a sense of gratitude for being alive.

Folk Medicine

"Folk medicine is the compendium of wisdom that reflects not just the science of health but also the art and the method of these principles.  For instance, the nature around us in the area of living chemistry presents an array of non-toxic healing substances that are the Materia Medica of nature’s apothecary.  Whole foods provide a safe, living, energetic, “chemotherapy” if you will.  Whole foods are the anatomica metabolic nutricon that constitutes folk medicine.

Today, pharmaceutical science is jealous, envious and even hateful of plants and their attendant work, they do their work, their magic and wonders, without doing harm.  There is not one vaccine or drug that do that.  In my mind, I can see a time coming early on in the “Age of Imagination” we are now in, when every man, woman and child embraces “Self Care” by walking everyday, eating just whole foods and developing and maintaining a positive (inner sunshine) attitude.  These things go a long way to not only prevent disease but to remit existing conditions.  I do believe that within this next decade, the best of modern medicine, symptomatic response mechanism in the form of “first aid“, will be joined with ancient natural principles of “folk medicinal cures” to form a hybrid, “in home (effective and cost effective) clinics of Self Care.”
Whole food and fasting, working with nature’s air and water, sunshine and walking, pleasure of family and relationships and passion in creative pursuits, these are the bed rock of vitality into longevity; these are the seven Principles of Health.  As our modern society’s very fabric seems to be fraying at the edges, it is obvious that the valuable heritage of natural healing preserved by “backward” (truly genius) people and their enviable lifestyle of simplicity through time, need to be not only applauded and honored, but fully embraced into the daily performances of our own individual existence.  Self care.  There truly is no greater power than an idea whose time has come

Love, work, knowledge and wisdom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, are the wellsprings of our existence.  They should also occupy, regulate and lead our lives, as these provide feelings of value, joy and pleasure and a sense of purpose for our having been here.” – Don Tolman
