Why do we get sick? What are the best treatments? And how can we better prevent illness in the first place?
Disease or dis-ease is typically defined as an anomalous condition affecting the body of an organism, particularly a condition that has specific signs and symptoms.
Pathogens, genetic inheritance, environmental factors, mindset, attitude or even past severe unpleasant life experience such as psychological trauma – all factors that can disrupt physiological balance.
Illness often begins to express itself through ‘signs’ before a person experiences any ‘symptoms.’ In fact, illness can manifest even before we notice these signs, much like an incubation period. We may not feel anything until the signs start to become apparent, and only then do we experience symptoms.
This is why preventing illness requires thinking beyond the ordinary, to address potential issues before they occur or become visible. It involves a different mindset and strong determination to treat our bodies with the utmost care, akin to respecting a temple.
By taking preventive measures long before the disease can manifest itself and before it even shows any signs, we may avoid the occurrence of symptoms and prevent the illness from taking hold within us.
Extending your lifespan
Some diseases, such as cancer, can remain undetected for years before any signs become evident, and it may take months before we experience any symptoms. By proactively managing the condition as soon as we notice these initial signs, we have the potential to prevent the disease from ever fully manifesting.
Recent genomic studies have revealed advancements in technology that allow us to detect early signs of anomalies even before we become aware of any abnormal processes. Dr. George Church and Dr. David Sinclair’s recent research demonstrates that not only can we save lives through early detection and intervention, but we also have the potential to extend our physical body’s lifespan up to 142 years, redefining age with a new outlook of living 100 years as if it were the new 60.
But the physical aspect is only part of the equation. Our psychological well-being wields a powerful influence over our physical body. To truly create our bodies as temples, encompassing the entirety of our being – body, mind, and spirit – we may not necessarily require costly advanced technology to achieve the transformation akin to living at a new 60.
Fostering a positive and harmonious mental state can be just as impactful in nurturing overall wellness and extending our life’s vitality. Embracing practices like mindfulness, meditation, and engaging in meaningful connections with others can contribute significantly to our well-being.
By addressing our mental and emotional health proactively, we can create a holistic approach to life extension and well-being that complements any advancements in physical technology.
Our temple of well-being is sculpted not only by scientific advancements but also by the attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs we cultivate within ourselves. Striving for a balanced, fulfilling life that integrates our physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects can lead to a profound and lasting transformation, allowing us to experience life’s fullness well beyond conventional measures.
Your inner healing intelligence
Sometimes the conventional approach is required: treatment like pharmaceutical drugs, surgeries, physical therapy or psychotherapy.
However, the best healing process starts with creating an environment for our inner healing intelligence – to activate our innate ability in restoring itself to its optimal state of functioning and equilibrium.
A lot of people begin their psycho-physical-spiritual journey only after conventional treatments have failed. You can start this journey anytime; there’s no need to wait until you’re facing illness to seek healing.
Prevention, in itself, can be an invaluable and best value form of medicine.
