Colonic irrigation, vitamin and mineral supplements, detoxification, proper diet and exercise, and a myriad of other holistic therapies are almost always used to bring about natural healing through naturopathy.
| | What is the Cause?Written by Dr. Jamie Fettig
The question most people think they need an answer to is what is cause of their this or that? Many people pay it lip service, but what is cause really? Going with bucket analogy, what is cause of one of symptoms or diseases not being covered by water, or being expressed? Could it be that water is leaking out of bucket through holes? Which hole is “cause” of symptoms or disease being expressed? That is kind of a trick question. It is not just one hole that causes a symptom or disease to be expressed. All holes lead to decreased level of water. Or, said another way, there is not just one cause to any symptom or disease. In fact, everything you did or didn’t do up to that point in your life has some role in symptoms or disease you are expressing. Most people are looking for a cause, and no one ever stopped to question if there even was only one cause . . . until now. The cause, if you really need to have one, is a lack of health. To get people to immediately stop looking for one cause that doesn’t exist would be tough. Because looking for cause of something is so ingrained into our thinking, into our very way of automatic reaction, that stopping never-ending quest for “cause” immediately is like expecting a huge semi truck to stop instantly, even though it is going down highway at 70 miles per hour (120 km/h). With one little change, two little words, track that most people head down when looking for cause would be much more effective. That is, switching one’s frame of mind from looking for cause to looking for major contributing factors, because some things contribute more to certain symptoms and disease than others. Some contribute more directly, other less directly. Switching to looking for contributing factors instead of cause will make a quantum leap in how effective treatment of symptoms and disease becomes.
