What Allows the Body to Heal?

By: Dr. Alan Rosenthal

Do we have the ability to heal on our own or do we need outside intervention such as drugs to tell our bodies how to heal? These questions are more present in people’s minds now than they were even a decade ago. The results of surveys done all over the world indicate that people are searching for the answer to what allows a body to be healthy.

Health Philosophies

The two main health philosophies that are played in our society today are:

1. Health is delivered from the healing power already existing inside of ourselves; or
2. Health is delivered from ingesting drugs to artificially change the body chemistry because the body does not know what it is doing and removing parts of our body with surgery.

Which philosophy is the correct one? Well, judge for yourself. I feel that people have an Innate Intelligence inside that is transferred from brain to body and that it has all the information necessary to heal the body.

Regenerative Life Forces

Every six months every cell in your skeleton is totally brand new. Every six weeks you have a brand new liver, every four days you have a brand new lining of your stomach. If you didn’t have the intelligence already existing inside of you to regenerate cells, it wouldn’t take long before parts of your body simply would not function anymore.

For example if you cut the left hand of a dead person and a live person then bandaged both, the live person would heal and the dead wouldn’t. But, what allowed the healing to occur? Both bodies are identical. They both have the same body parts and chemicals. The only exception is that one has a life force in it, an intelligence flowing through it – nothing mystical, just real.

The Nervous System and Healing

According to Gray’s Anatomy textbook, “The function of the brain and nervous system is to control and coordinate all the functions of every cell, tissue, and organ.” If our brain and nervous system control every function in our bodies, then what we need to do in order to have good health is to work throughout life to remove any blockages we have created, not to cover up the symptoms with drugs.
