Today we have a health crisis. So many people are sick and on long term medication, and symptoms appear to be less responsive to medications and conventional methods. Cancer rates are increasing, and the antiquated treatments appear to do more harm than good. It makes anyone wonder that there has to be a better way.

In 2018, I was introduced to a scientific discovery that makes sense of this crisis, explaining why public health is on the decline and making sense of all these symptoms and issues that apparently come from nowhere.

In the early 80s, a German cancer doctor received a cancer diagnosis after tragically losing his son, and this led him to research the cause of his condition. He discovered that our bodies run survival programs, just like they would if we lived in the wild, which assist us to cope with traumatic events.

These survival programs are triggered by a shock, which impacts our brain and signals our body to make some changes so we can cope with the event. For example: we are confronted by a lion, so, fearing death, the surface area of our lungs will increase to allow us absorb more oxygen so we can run away faster or fight for our life. When the threat is over, our body can get back to normal, which it does without us interfering.

In our modern day lives, where we do not eat, live or exist in the natural way we were designed for, this process can be interrupted and we can get stuck in this survival mode. Depending on which part of the story we are stuck in, will depend whether we are in:

  • ‘Fight or flight’ mode (highly stressed, anxious, weak appetite and difficulty sleeping) – this is the part where we are experiencing the threat or danger,
  • ‘Rest and digest’ mode (fatigued, achy, low energy, inflammation, various unfavourable symptoms such as recurring pain, weakness, fever, etc.)
  • Or we can chronically switch between the two states
The best way to deal with this is to understand that these survival programs exist, and that if there are no medical reasons or explanations for why they started in the first place (such as you were injured or poisoned, or you are malnourished), then the likelihood is that you have one of these survival programs going on.
Similarly, if you have a long term condition or chronic illness that is basically managed by medication, you are most certainly stuck in a survival program.
The doctor who discovered these survival programs called his discoveries the ‘Biological Laws of Nature’ because he found specific rules set out within these survival programs were applicable to every case he studied (over 40,000 cases, including cancer and terminal illness).
His research means that the root cause of disease is the event that caused the shock in the first place, and therefore the healing of the disease is found in averting the threat or danger the body percieves itself to be in, while understanding the concept that the body’s natural homeostasis will automatically bring  the body back to normalcy.
The fact that our  bodies possess innate wisdom and are built for survival, not destruction, is not a new concept by any means, and it is the most important aspect of this approach.
As the body can, in essence, heal itself,  when there is a chronic condition, it means that something is preventing the natural healing process. So then you need to be thinking back to the weeks or months leading up to when symptoms began to find something upsetting that caught you off-guard. This is the root cause, and in long term conditions it means there is something keeping you stuck in this survival mode, such as reminders of this traumatic/shocking event, causing relapses.
Takeaway points:
  • We have survival mechanisms that tun on a subconscious level (meaning we are unaware of them)
  • We can get stuck within these programs, and they will run in a ‘loop’
  • The shock aspect of the stressful eevent that preceded the symptom/condition is the trigger (i.e.  root cause)
  • Understanding what happened and what your body is trying to achieve for your benefit and survival can help the body return to normal
