Can we heal ourselves?

Our Body is Self-healing

The ability of self healing already exists in each of us. This natural healing is the nature given "Innate Intelligence" functioning within our bodies to optimally respond to any dis-ease without external interference.

This is self-evident. We observe it in many ways. We see a broken bone knit itself. We see cuts and abrasions heal. We see bruises heal. The vital innate healing force is operative at all times. It heals all reparable body injuries and maladies. Our body has sufficient power within to overcome ailments not involving injury. A tremendous amount of abuse must be heaped upon the body to reach such a low state that it cannot heal itself.

Our innate intelligence is the prime cause that the body heals itself. We may take antibiotics to combat infections, dose ourself with aspirin to reduce pain or put a cast on a broken wrist. These medical procedures do not heal us. They reduce inflammation, battle bacteria or make proper healing easier. But its our body that heals itself. Through some process that we don't fully understand, our body has this amazing, innate ability to repair itself.

Medical science can explain the neurological and biochemical responses involved in healing - nerve messages to the brain, white blood cells to combat infection, platelets to clot the blood, formation of a scab as the skin grows back beneath. But medical science does not know how the body knows to do this, and it doesn't know what force powers this healing process.

Our body uses our innate intelligence, which is always striving towards harmony and wellbeing. Here's a list of what it does for us everyday without us having to even think about it...

*Our heart beats approximately 110,000 times per day to send nutrients and vitality to all our organs tissues and cells.

*Our lungs breathe up to 30,000 times per day to send vital oxygen to our system.

*Our 700-plus muscles work constantly in perfect synchronisation to allow us to move, dance, smile and carry out other multiple activities.

*Our body eliminates, repairs and re-builds a billion cells every hour--24 billion cells every day. This goes on 24-7-365 to sustain our body composed of around one hundred trillion cells.

*Thus our body makes a new liver every six weeks, a new stomach lining every five days, new skin every 30 days, a new skeleton every 3 months, new red blood cells every 120 days.

Our Innate Intelligence works so hard for us and asks for so little in return. This Doctor Within really is a powerful and wisest physician! It is the lack of integration between the physiology and its inner intelligence that causes disorder and often introduces disease. So let's activate our inner doctor and enhance our bodies self-healing capacity. To know how check my next blog...
