Guest guest Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 The Dwindling Spiral of Disease by Ian Shillington N.D. The following is an article I wrote in a hurry a few years back that was based on my CD lecture, and was a response to a demand by a couple of my students. It was all " off the cuff " and straight out of the ole brain with no editing for subtlety and finesse = Cold hard facts straight from the hip, and the piece was so popular I decided to leave it as-is. The article is not for hard core Herbalists, Nutritionists, and Naturopaths as I'm not into preaching to the choir. It is for the common man who has some physical problems, and who is looking for some permanent solutions. In a few places, I'll be blowing my own horn, and I hope you don't mind, as I looked long and hard for these answers. First, let's take a look at a few questions here which are very appropriate. · Why is it that, as time goes by our medications from the Medico (the Medical Doctor, which emphatically includes Psychiatrists) get stronger, more potent and more numerous? · How come we seem to get more sick and tired even though we are going to the Medico regularly? · Why is it that, as time goes by our diseases seem to get more serious even though we are taking more medications than ever before? · When we get a headache, and the Medico recommends an Aspirin (or something stronger), why does the headache then go away? Does this mean that our body has an Aspirin deficiency? · Is being sick and diseased the NORMAL condition of human life?? · Why in Hell do we get sick in the first place??? Wellllllllll you know – ain't it funny that if you ask the right questions, the right way, the answers will sometimes jump out at you and slap you upside the head with the impact of a 2X4. Many times it's just a matter of asking the RIGHT question(s). J Now, I'm going to give you some basic answers here which I can prove beyond any shadow of a doubt, but to place those proofs in a short article like this one would be impossible with the time and space allowed, so for the moment you're just going to have to take my word for the truth of these answers. Of course you're always welcome to do your own research and find out for yourself if I tell the truth, and I do encourage this. I’m a firm believer in looking for oneself. 1. THE “MENTAL”, BASIC COMMON DENOMINATOR OF ALL DISEASE IS STRESS! Here, the word " Stress " can be used synonymously with the word " Suppression " . There are NO exceptions to this. Wherever you find disease, you will find " Stress " as a major factor prior to getting disease 100% of the time. 2. THE “PHYSICAL”, BASIC COMMON DENOMINATOR OF ALL DISEASE IS STOPPAGE! For many years, I'd bought and accepted the answer from Dr. Richard Schulze who learned it from his mentor Dr. John R. Christopher that this common denominator was " Blockage " . As I began my journey and search into the realm of health and natural healing, this datum seemed to be true. But, I kept running into circumstances where there was NO " Blockage " , and yet a physical condition of disease existed and persisted. This baffled me for a short time until I had the realization that " Blockage " was the wrong answer. It was obvious I had to research further. Why? Because " Blockage " did not answer the problem of Diabetes and the non functioning Islets of Langerhans that goes with that condition. It did not solve the problem of exhausted adrenal glands in the (20 pots of coffee a day) patient. In these cases there was NO " Blockage " to be removed. I had to throw out this supposed “truth”, and develop another one which was workable 100% of the time. After much research, I finally managed to fine-tune this and came up with " Stoppage " as the final answer. Wherever you find " Blockage " , you'll always find " Stoppage " to a greater or lesser degree. But, you don't always find " Blockage " where there is a " Stoppage " . Sometimes a condition exists whereby a gland or organ has simply ceased to function. This is " Stoppage " . The biggest question I had to ask and prove was, " Did this stable datum I had discovered, lead to a resolution of ALL physical disease? " . The answer so far is a resounding, " YES! " . I haven't found one exception to date, and believe me, I've looked. One time only, I thought I'd found an exception in a patient until I realized that, " ALL DISEASES ARE CURABLE! BUT NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE! THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE DETERMINED TO BE VICTIMS AND WHO ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO SUCCUMB! " . I could go on for reams and reams with this to show you the proofs, but as I said earlier, space and time will simply not allow it here in this article. I also challenge anyone to disprove the above and I mean this seriously. I've challenged it myself many times just to ensure that it is workable. And workability has always been my watchword. Does a therapy, treatment, or remedy work? Answering that question is the ultimate test and proof! Where does this all fit into the original questions posed above? Wellllll, it answers the question " WHY? " , and it ultimately leads to a resolution of all of the above, but let's look further into this destructive dwindling spiral of disease. When you were 2 yrs of age, some family member, family " friend " , or neighborhood bully decided to add a little stress to your life (Mom or Dad might not have thought it was stress, but you certainly did), and shortly thereafter you got sick and came down with your first serious cold (a major detox by the way). Now if you were lucky, Mom only freaked out enough to give you a Children's Aspirin, or a Children's Tylenol and you came through it kinda, maybe OK. If you weren't quite so lucky, Mom really freaked and took you to the Medico who gave you something stronger (and worse), and usually gave you an antibiotic to boot. Now the apparency is that the symptoms went away and that you were “cured”. What actually happened was, the symptoms were suppressed (looked like they went away), but damage was done to your Liver and other vital organs which were injured by the drugs the Medico gave you. There was a greater threat to your vital organs and the cold (the body's detox) was stopped in order to handle the greater threat of the medical drugs to the vital organs. Don't believe me? The next time you get a sliver, or a bruise from a bang, or even a cold, hit yourself hard on the big toe with a sledge hammer. I guarantee you, that you'll forget all about the sliver, the bruise and yes even the cold, as your body now has a much more serious situation to handle. Aspirin causes bleeding in the stomach which is a bigger threat to the body than a headache (usually brought about by stoppage in the bowel by the way). Here’s another test. The next time you're not feeling too well, go and deliberately pick a fight with your spouse and watch how soon you forget about how bad you're feeling physically. Of course you may feel even worse the next day having created a bad effect on your loved one. But you get the point. You don't need a pristine laboratory with stainless steel test tubes to check this out. A little self testing, observation of life (even remembering), on your own part will verify this. OK, now you're 6 yrs old, and you've had a dozen or two colds and fevers, and even a couple of flus and everytime you got them, Momma gave you something from the doctor to handle them which further suppressed your body's organs, glands, and immune system. And then one day you really get sick, I mean really sick (temperature of 105, etc. etc.). Momma of course freaks (by the way, this is probably what her mother did which can lead to an " apparency " of " genetic " diseases) and takes you to the family Medico (one more time) and this time the doctor orders a large round of “expensive tests " to discover you have “allergies” (and if you're really unlucky ADD – Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADHD – Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder as well). Now the " nice " doctor prescribes and puts you on another and even stronger medication (drug) to do what? – You’ve got it. Suppress the symptoms!!! Is there a 'cure' in sight? Absolutely not!!! Don't even dare ask cause it’s against the law to cure anyone. Now as the years pass, you seem to be just one of those poor souls (victims) who seems to be allergic to just about everything and your dosage of medications (and their strengths) seem to go up at the rate of about once a year. Now you’re 10 to 15 yrs old, and due to the crime rate in your school (Remember Stress?), you have to stay home for a week because you're really sick one more time and are having lots of trouble breathing. Momma (she's gray by now), takes you to a different Medico (she knows instinctively that something is wrong but can't put her finger on it) to have a new battery of tests done to discover what? Her baby has asthma. Boy, now we're on a whole new set of medications and drugs and some of these are pretty darn strong and the medicine chest is almost so full you couldn't get another thing into it. I mean, things fall out of it when you open the door. Get the picture? Well time continues to go on (it usually does J) and the drugs get stronger, the doses get bigger and so on, until we hit the ripe old age of 25 and what-d-ya-know? We're concerned about that little lump in the breast, and we go to the Medico one more time to discover we have the Big " C " – Cancer. Now you've hit the big one. I mean, NO and I mean NO medication / treatment gets as intense as Chemo Therapy and Radiation. Ask a person who's had these. They'll tell you they feel like they've been run over by a train. The other route you could follow if you don't get cancer is the big " H " – Heart Disease. And if you think healing by herbs is radical, you should see an open heart operation and bypass surgeries. Now that is truly radical, and don't be surprised if you end up with a baboon heart or something of the sort. Now you're into operations and all other kinds of other “medical treatment” until you die at the ripe old age of 39 or so. Some of you may think I'm exaggerating here. I'm not. Talk to a Cancer victim. Talk to a Heart patient. They'll tell you. Ohhhhh, there may be some discrepancies in the ages above and some people won't die from Cancer until they're 40, 50 or even 60. A child might not get that first cold until the age of 3 and your asthma victim might not really develop a serious case until he's 25 or so. The point I'm trying to make here is that, there is a Dwindling Spiral of Disease and the Medical Doctor is into nothing but - DISEASE MANAGEMENT. That's all! Nothing else! And you don’t need to ask how much money the Medico has made through this whole process. I'll tell you – HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS (Usually MILLIONS)! Not just from you and your insurance, but also as kickbacks (rewards, incentives, whatever you want to call them) from the giant pharmaceutical companies as well. Now, where do you think a lot of this " Stress " is coming from? You got it. From the Medicos themselves who are at the very least placing a heavy " stress " on the body by the use of all these drugs (Oh yes, you can be very easily mentally stressed by drugs). Do you want to see a Medico go berserk? Just tell him you want to get a second opinion from an alternative practitioner. Oh, I know not all of them are " Bad " , and many of them are just miseducated and ignorant, but the big majority are in it for only one thing – THE BUCK! And believe me, they create their patients right from the cradle. I'm going to give you a few brand new concepts to play with here. ¯ GOOD VITAL HEALTH IS NORMAL!!! Think about it. Doesn't this just make sense? ¯ DISEASE IS NOT NORMAL!!! YOU HAVE TO WORK FOR IT AND EARN IT!!! You may or may not believe me here, but you did everything that was necessary to earn your disease. Oh, you had help from others, no doubt about that, but you were the one who made the decision to keep doing the same old bad habits. You were the one who as an adult continued going to the Medico for your monthly dose of drugs. It’s time we all took a responsible look at this. ¯ THE BODY CAN ACTUALLY HEAL ITSELF!!! IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO SO!!! Hey! When you break a leg and the Medico puts it into a cast (one of the few things he's good at and where he’s actually useful by the way), the bones grow back together again don't they? Haven’t we all seen cuts and bruises heal by themselves? Then what makes people think that the body can't heal all the other things that are wrong with it? Where does the buck stop??? Well, actually the buck stops with the Medical Doctor, the giant Pharmaceuticals, and the International Bankers, but the responsibility ultimately belongs to all of us. Some people tell me they are looking for a good Doctor. I tell people that I'm looking for good students. And what is my definition of a good student? Someone who realizes that they are fully responsible for the condition they are in – good or bad. They realize that they are the " Causative " factor in their own lives and refuse to be victims. They know that their “healing” is their own responsibility. Only they can effect their own CURE. The original definition of " Doctor " meant " Teacher " . It comes from the Latin word, “Docare” which means, “to teach”. This is what I'm all about. I can supply the tools (herbs, preparations etc.) and the knowledge for you to achieve a marvelous healing. But it is you who'll avail yourself of this knowledge and then take the first steps to your own recovery and reverse this Dwindling Spiral of Disease. And there'll be no whining or sniveling while you're doing it. J You can do it if you truly want to. You really can. I believe in you. Won't you?
