Mucus Elimination
Inflammation |
-
Speeds up bodily elimination of toxic waste.
- When a fever is present,
the digestive system shuts down thus removing the desire
for food.
- The
body's way of eliminating undigested foodstuff from the digestive
tract.
- the body's way of forcing a sick person to rest thus conserving
its energy for the vital tasks of cleansing and repair.
- The lymph glands
filter the blood for toxic substances. Swelling of these glands greatly increases
their filtering capacity
- Represents
an elimination of toxic waste, the skin being a major eliminative organ.
-
Also
an elimination of toxic waste. Mucus is made up of the body's white blood
cells which are the body's garbage cans containing toxic residue. A good
example is the runny nose.
- Serves the same purpose as fever, to
cleanse and repair damaged or poisoned tissue in
the body. |

In
reality, the symptoms do not constitute the disease but the cure.
In other words, measles is not the disease but the cure. Whooping
cough is not the disease but the cure. Chicken pox is not the disease
but the cure. The real disease is Toxaemia out of which the symptoms
arise. This will explain the words of Hippocrates, who to this
day is referred to as the Father of Medicine. Over 2000 years ago
he wrote; "Diseases
are crises of purification, of toxic elimination. Symptoms
are
the natural defences of the
body. We call them diseases, but in fact they
are the cure of diseases." By clearly understanding the true purpose
of symptoms, the beneficial nature of childhood infections becomes
readily apparent. These so-called infections serve to restore
internal purity thereby promoting the health of the child. This
will explain why natural health practitioners make no attempt
to suppress these symptoms, instead they believe that the symptoms
should be allowed to run their course so that complete detoxification
is achieved.
On the other hand, should these symptoms be suppressed by medical drugs or
other suppressive measures, then the body will be forced to retain within its
own tissues the poisonous wastes that it is striving to remove. This can not
only result in increased suffering and complications, but it can lay the foundations
for chronic disease in later life. If you know of a child who has ever suffered
complications or died from a childhood infection, then find out how the child
was treated, for in the opinion of many doctors, it is incorrect treatment
including suppressive drug therapy that lies behind most complications and
fatalities. In many cases poor underlying health is also a factor. "It should always be borne in
mind when thinking of complications,
that they too often wait,
not upon the original disease, but
upon the treatment of it." British Naturopath
and Author, Harry Clements |
