What to do with Pain
Hello, I hope this message finds you all well.
I want to talk a little bit about a question that was poised to me today in class.
The question was: “how do you deal with pain, especially if it’s felt every day.”
I gave a few answers to this as they came-to me, however I would like to address the subject a little bit more deeply now.
In our modern lives, we are put under tremendous toxic strain, not just on our vital organs and glands, but also on the bigger organs, the stomach, the intestinal tract, the lungs, our spine, and in fact, basically our whole body not to mention our psyche. Our stomachs are often perpetually stuffed with foods that are often denatured and are taken in horrible combinations, and in fact, often incompatible combinations. The next tubes in line are, of course, the small intestine and the large intestine, which are also often packed with the same. Our organs like the liver are swollen and strained with their effort to try to break down massive amounts of foods that are often as I say incompatible. Imagine our organs having to deal with massive intakes of animal, protein, fats, and then of course, maybe drugs and poisons that we are exposed to in our daily lives. Our pancreas balloons beyond its normal size, mainly due to the fact that it’s constantly demanded of for digestive enzymes that are often overloaded into the small intestine.
Even at our jobs we can be exposed to fumes, chemicals, aerosols, dusts, noise etc. Really this is just superficially, not mentioning how these things are taken in voluntarily but also how we take in poisons orally by eating fast foods or grabbing a soda conviently from the vending machine. Our small intestine, but especially the large intestine gets lined with layer upon layer of glue like substance that contains poisons, and Auto intoxicates the bloodstream. Honestly, in many ways, a self fulfilling prophecy of inhabitable health. All of this puts tremendous load on our bodies.
Because the intake of foods are somewhat iffy and not always healthy or compatable our organs are called to process enzyme-less foods, that is, of course often why they expand themselves working that much harder to process what we are stuffing into them and exposing them to.
All of this caters to the inflammatory process that eventually leads us down that road to poor health.
What’s worse is our bodies receptors are trying to tell us that something is wrong by creating pain but we either ignore it or mask it with pain killers (that are also acidic and lead to the inflammatory process) and can buy pain killers over the counter at your local handy dandy drug store. It has never ceased to amaze me how pop machines and drug stores are so conveniently with-in reach of everyone.
Most of my body-therapy work over the last 40 years has been in pain management. Of course, if patients are willing, and that is the key factor here “ willingness.” If willing to change their diet and lifestyle, along with treatment and Taikokyu, the body will stabilize itself, pain will decrease and normalcy will set back in.
Our intestinal tracts are often more like a sewage treatment plant than they are simple tubes that lead to exiting the body. At times it’s beyond me of how people can live with such imbalances in their organs when with a little willingness and some fortitude, they could turn many of their health, considerations around. Health problems, Especially those built off of the inflammatory process that all too often is the plate of many people here on the planet. I see this in such a way that with convenience and fast food, restaurants and eating out rather then eating in and cooking wholesomely for ourselves. We have surrounded ourselves with foods and life-styles that are all too often leading to the inflammatory process of ill health.
Our alimentary canal that is that which starts with the mouth and ends at our anus, was intended by nature to function smoothly flowing without blockages to flush any waste matter from our bodies. Instead, many times we see stagnation in this canal, especially the intestinal tract and the food stuffs tend to cesspool rather than flow out of the body as nature intended them to do so. This physiological malfunction allows food stuffs once eaten too often faster, and pile up in the tract. This can be likened to broken plumbing in your home that constantly is backing up or flooding the basement as the sinks and toilets above which, are continuing to be used.
Over the years, being involved in health and wellness, I’ve heard of many statistics of impacted bowels in all age groups. Without running statistics at all, any one of us can simply look around and see that many people, if not most people have issues in their digestive tract. These kinds of issues that are started from the inflammatory process and the process starts with an inflammatory lifestyle which leads to pain. Further to this, if our pain is managed by simply taking over-the-counter painkillers or worse, going to medical personnel that put us on even stronger than over-the-counter painkillers, we are simply turning off the early warning mechanisms that tell us that there is an inflammatory process in the first place. What a terribly vicious cycle this creates.
Jumping forward a bit and without harping on bad diet, the fundamental truth in all of this is this: what goes in must come out!
If it’s not coming out in an orderly fashion, it is festering inside you and will eventually cripple us or even kill us.
Auto intoxication and toxaemia is the real culprit in almost all chronic disease and degenerative conditions.
Bottom line (if there is a bottom line) is this:
Start by hydrating the body more substantially every day good old H2O! If you drink an 8 ounce bottle of water normally, drink four bottles.
If you eat lots of foods that are acidic and have bad eating intervals like in the evening hours change that and eat more alkaline levelling foods.
If you’re not exercising now, exercise more often using an expansion therapy-ideal like Taikokyu.
Start here and all else will be added unto thee.
