PATHOLOGY = MYTHOLOGY

This may be a tough concept to swallow and digest! A colleague of mine known for his scientific background and research studies has stated that pathology (study of the nature of disease, its causes and development) is nothing more than mythology (study of a collection of stories serving to explain a culture’s worldview).
In really delving into this and pondering it – I have to come to the conclusion that he is absolutely correct. HERE IS WHY:
-our body is always doing the best it can to adapt us to our environment.
-there is no signal in your brain that will cause destruction/ dis-ease in your body.
Disease is nothing more than NORMAL PHYSIOLOGIC ADAPTATIONS TO A STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT!
So this obviously changes our PARADIGM! If we cannot adapt to a chronically stressed environment (poor nutrition, poor physical mobility or the lack thereof, poor thoughts, etc…) then all we have to do to turn ourselves around is to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and strive for better thoughts, better motion, and better nutrition!
Then and only then will the myths of disease dissolve!
