We often have been told that feeling good means that one is healthy and that feeling bad is a sign that one is not well.

What is interesting is that when it comes to healing, this is not always true.

There is a profound process that some people go through in which healing and becoming well actually means that they may have to go through some discomfort.

This is not always easy for the health practitioner, and yet, we always reassure people that healing ispossible and that pain is not always a bad thing.

Many people understand that marital counseling could be very helpful but at timess uncomfortable.

Or, hiring a personal trainer may imply that one gets stretched beyond his or her normal comfort zone and many people are comfortable with that.

More and more we find it very refreshing that people are willing to heal, and go through the process and the following work that I have been studying by the brilliant work of Dr.Jensen, might shine some light on the journey of health and healing.

Healing crisis & Retracing- a brilliant piece by the famous Dr. Jensen

Diseases normally disappear from within outward, and in the reverse order of their coming.

A healing crisis typically comes at a time when a person feels at their best and the body has built up a certain amount of energy, required to perform the task of elimination of toxins. At the time of a healing crisis the organs of elimination are said to be working in good order.

Manifestations typically include:

• Pain,


• Fever


• Discharges in organs of elimination e.g., bowels, lungs, skin, nose etc.
  Perspiration.

Healing Crisis vs Disease Crisis

It is rare that the average doctor is trained to tell the difference between the
healing crisis and a disease process. Though usually the manifestations are
similar, a healing crisis is brought about through an accumulation of health in
the body, and the active healing power carries the person through. It is
difficult to accept the fact that a healing crisis comes right after a patient is
feeling his best. Invariably a patient says, 'I have never felt so well in my
life.' This is the time when you can may expect the crisis and is the time when
the crisis can do its best work.

It takes energy to eliminate wastes, to go through these eruptions, whether
boils, rashes, or pimples. It is only through the ascendancy of an inherent power
to eliminate that we can accomplish what we do in a healing crisis.

One crisis is not always enough for a complete cure.

The person in a chronic state, who has gone through many disease processes in his
life, must go through these disease processes again in the reverse order in which
they occurred.

No matter what system we use, if we can possibly bring about these healing
crises, we are working for the patient's higher good.

In looking over the whole process, consider that disease is an eliminative
activity of the body. If we believe that the body is consistently trying to
remain well, we believe that even the process of disease is an eliminative
process; and we should do little to interfere because the body is fighting for
supremacy over the disease. It is well to know that even disease can be looked
upon as a 'cure' by allowing it to run its course and by giving the body every
opportunity to recover of its own accord.

About Fever

While in the past it was considered dangerous to have a fever and anything to get
rid of the fever was considered sound practice, now we find it helpful to induce
fever.

Many of the schools of thought who formerly advocated suppressing fever, are
today changing their ideas and are using fevers as a help towards getting a
person well.

Suppression of Symptoms

Suppressive treatments are those that eliminate symptoms without acknowledging
the cause of the problem.

Much ill-health, particularly in adults, is merely a manifestation of the
condition known as auto-toxemia or self-poisoning. From the moment of birth,
food is taken into the alimentary canal with never a respite for the overworked
organs of digestion. Debris begins to accumulate faster than it can be
eliminated.

Unwanted nutriment is stored away in reserve as fat, but sooner or later a
radical cleansing effort has to be made by the body to rid itself of
accumulations of waste products, and many so-called 'diseases' are simply the
outward and visible signs of this inward cleansing process.

Unwanted organic matter which incidentally provides a favourable soil for
infection by micro-organisms, is removed in various ways and all the organs of
elimination are used -- bowels, kidneys, lungs and skin. Catarrh and eczema are
examples of such an operation involving elimination through the mucous membranes
and skin.

Suppression leads to degeneration

No attempt should be made to SUPPRESS such symptoms. To do so only invites
trouble of a more serious kind in the future.

In fact the suppression of symptoms is responsible for some of the degenerative
diseases in later life e.g., rheumatism. Rather, we should assist the body in its
periodical spring-cleaning and this can best be done by a period of rest and
warmth and the lightest of diets. In fact, abstention from solid foods for a
short period can make an important contribution.
