Cleanse and Nourish
Jo Francks MH
Recently I had someone ask “What can I take for low
thyroid?” After talking to this person a little about how the body works the
question was asked “What can I take for high blood pressure?” Not long after that someone else asked “What
herb can someone take for Leukemia?”
In these cases these people seemed to want a magic pill that
would cure the condition they were asking about. In all these cases the same
information was given. Our bodies create symptoms and disease because of the
way we eat, drink, feel, think and live. Taking the right herb for specific
conditions can only do so much. Lifestyle changes need to be made in order to
change what is going on in the body. First we need to cleanse the system of
toxic accumulations which have been building up over time. We do this by doing
a three day cleanse and following the mucusless diet and using herbs that help
the body cleanse itself. We also need to change our thoughts since thoughts
lead to emotions. For some people this is harder than changing our diet. We’ve
spent a lifetime with our thoughts and they become habits. In Karol Truman’s
book Feelings Buried Alive Never Die there is a list of ailments and conditions
and the thoughts and emotions that are connected to them along with some cases
where people have overcome conditions by changing their thought patterns. Our
mind is powerful and our thoughts are powerful. They can put us in a good mood
or in a bad mood and they can motivate us to be positive or negative. And guess
what? Positive people and happy people
are also healthier.
Our bodies were designed to work perfectly. We are all born
with some genetic weaknesses but amazingly we survive. We can change and move
toward wellness no matter what our condition is at the moment. Spring is a
wonderful time to do a cleanse and commit to a more healthy diet. It is also a
time to see things anew with all the new growth all around us. Take one negative habitual thought that is
going on with you and each time it comes up reverse it to a positive thought.
It takes a conscious effort to change. I hope you will commit to changing one
thing this month and see how powerful you really are.
