There's a story about two doctors who were arguing over which one had cured a particular
patient. They were in the garden of a hospital, standing under an apple tree. Suddenly an
apple fell from the tree, hit the first doctor on the head, bounced and hit the second. They both realized that, although they may have
helped, it was really Mother Nature that had cured the patient.
"Nature is the physician of all diseases" also from Hippocrates. He understood that no
medicine matches the body's own capacity to revitalize itself. Treatment of any kind just
helps that process.
Nobody can deny that to prevent an illness is far better than to have to cure one. So it's important
to live a life that prevents illness from developing, rather than to have to deal with it afterwards.
We want to be healthy and stay that way.
How?
I remember seeing one of the old spaghetti Westerns when I was a young boy.
The main character had just arrived in a small town after having been pulled around the
desert on a stretcher by his trusty steed. The first thing he did was get a bath.
The scene shows him sitting in a soap-sudded bathtub with a cigar in his mouth. Then
he gets out of the bath, picks up his still dust-covered clothes, and proceeds to put
them all back on again.
Well, it was funny seeing the movie, but that little anecdote brings up an important
concept: there are two aspects to cleanliness: internal as well as external. We're usually preoccupied with
the way we look on the outside, but we don't pay any attention to our inside. We may
bathe every day and keep our body relatively clean on the outside, but meanwhile we
stuff so much garbage down our throats that our intestines start to resemble a
clogged-up sewer pipe. Sorry to tell you such a horror story, but I'm not making
anything up here. Germs in the body don't cause disease; they're a sign of it.
They're scavengers they feed on dirt. It's the dirt, toxins and dead matter in the body which
cause the disease in the first place, including the vast majority of major diseases in the
Western world.
Why should you not look after the inside of your body as much as you do the inside of your
house or car? And a house or car is something you can actually replace! There's a saying that
if you lose money you've lost nothing; if you lose your health you've lost something; and if
you lose your peace of mind you've lost everything. "Health is wealth."
You can't be healthy without inner cleanliness.
Vitality comes from the body's energy resources. We gain energy from the
environment: from the sun, our food and water, and the air we breathe. That energy
becomes vital energy in the body; the vitality that keeps us alive. The more vitality
you have, the stronger you are, the greater your physical well-being, and the more
inspired you'll feel.
Resistance to disease is an automatic result of both cleanliness and vitality. If
the blood is pure, the cells that fight disease can function freely, without
being caught in a "traffic jam" of toxins and impurities. Resistance is an internal
matter, and healing is also from within. Medicine only assists the body's natural
internal resistance. Resistance also depends on your lifestyle. A well-controlled
lifestyle gives physical health, mental peace and contentment.
But nowadays it's difficult to lead a healthy lifestyle what with the pollution, the
pressure of everyday life, and the lack of nourishing food and drink. Once I left a
Big Mac for six months to see what it would look like. What did it look like after all
that time? Exactly the same as when I bought it! Only it was hard, like plastic.
Can you imagine what they put in those things. Much of the food we eat is sorely lacking
in nutrition and vitality, even if it is supposedly fresh. On top of that, our
ever-increasing materialistic outlook on life leaves us dull and uninspired.
Know yourself; take responsibility for your own health; be your own doctor. I'm
not saying you're never going to need specialized medical treatment, but at least you
can minimize the chance of needing it. "An apple a day," well you know the saying.
What's the use of going to the doctor for something you can cure ten times easier yourself?
Or even better, something you could have prevented yourself, with no extra demand on your
time or your finances. And these are very simple things that you just need to be
mindful of. But the point is that we're usually not mindful of them. Even the basic things like how to eat,
how to breathe, even how to think there's an art and science to every aspect of life that
we should be aware of and make good use of.
Well, the good news is you can start from today. It's just a matter of knowing the things to do and doing them,
because ultimately it's what we do in our lives that matters most. You have in your own hands the power to
make your life better in every way: physically, mentally and spiritually.
