Words to motivate a Health Journey A healing crisis is in effect when the body is in the process of elimination. Reactions may be mild or they may be severe. One should expect this and work toward it. The body’s inherent desire is perfect health. We have the ability to earn our way back to that state. The body must go through an elimination process to achieve good health. There will be ups & downs. One dose not go immediately into good health. This elimination process we call the “healing process”.A Healing crisis results when all body systems work in concert to eliminate waste products and set the stage for regeneration. Old tissues are replaced with new. A disease crisis, on the other hand, is not a natural one and works against the body’s natural processes. Symptoms during a healing crisis may be identical to the disease, but there is an important difference-elimination. A cleansing, purifying process is underway and stored wastes are in a free-flowing state. Sometimes pain during the healing crisis is of greater intensity that when the chronic disease is building up. This may explain why there may be a brief flare-up in one’s condition.The crisis will usually bring about past conditions in whatever order the body is capable of handling them at the time. People often forget the disease or injuries they have had in the past, but eruptions, nausea, headaches, sleepiness, unusual fatigue, diarrhoea, head or chest cold, ear infection, boils, or any other way the body uses to loosen and eliminate toxins. The crisis usually lasts three days, but if the energy of the patient is low it may last for a week or more. The body needs juices, and especially water, to help carry off the toxins. This is a time for rest – mental as well as physical rest.One crisis is not always enough for a complete cure. The person in a chronic state, who has gone through many disease processes in life, must go through these processes again. Often the crisis will come after one feels this very best, setting the stage for the action most people feel an energy boost the first few days. Then toxins are dumped into the blood stream fore elimination. Go as slowly as your body needs to so that your elimination is gradual and comfortable. With a more serious condition there may be many small crises to go through before the final one is possible. Everything must be considered and given its proper place in the build-up to a healing crisis. One should expect it and work towards it.
