Did you know most western medical diagnoses are just labels put on a set of symptoms and/or lab test results? Think about it – Irritable Bowel Syndrome just means irregular stools. Rheumatoid arthritis is systemic inflammation of the joints, with inflammatory markers in the blood higher than normal. Gastritis means acid reflux and frequent digestive pain. Attention Deficit Disorder is difficulty focusing. Degenerative disc disease means the cartilage in the spine is experiencing wear and tear.
Many people come in to my office telling me they have X, Y, or Z condition. Most have been told it is a lifelong condition they will just have to manage through pharmaceuticals. And the diagnoses can sound so official – Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, diabetes, Celiac’s, fibromyalgia, bipolar disorder, etc. Most of us take comfort in our health issue being recognized as a known condition, with an official label. But what we overlook is that these labels tell us nothing at all as to the reason for this health problem. They just put a name to our set of symptoms, which we could have done ourselves. I could have come up with the term chronic fatigue, darn it!
One major step in healing is to break from identifying with the condition. We are not trying to deny that we are experiencing certain uncomfortable symptoms, but we are not going to let these symptoms define us. Rather, these symptoms are going to help us identify which organs are in need of nutritional support and/or detoxification. Which systems of the body need to be balanced. That is the whole purpose the body puts out symptoms, to give us clues as to what to focus on healing. This is a much different approach than using our symptoms to give us a useless diagnosis that is then paired with a symptom suppressing pharmaceutical.
So let’s not give in to the idea that you “are” or “have” some condition. And definitely let’s not resign ourselves to having this condition for life. The vast majority of these “conditions” are healable, if treated at the roots. Most doctors will not tell you this, because they have few methods and little interest in uncovering these roots.
Give Chinese Medicine, Nutrition Response Testing, and Biomagnetic Therapy a try. These are by far the best methods I have come across to identify the exact cause of the problem. Whether you are currently taking medication for your symptoms or not, these modalities have great potential to actually heal the issue. Liberate yourself from medical labels, come in today!
