New Horizons
Conventional medicine tends to go no farther than the obvious symptoms to determine the cause of health issues. In dealing with Vicious Cycle Disorders, though, it is necessary to go beyond the surface and consider the whole person or all three realms.
In choosing a more holistic perspective, the dilemma of the perspective arises. Is it more effective to treat the body through the mind or the mind through the body? Research claims to support both sides, however, it is extremely difficult to accurately measure a person's state of mind.
One 1970 study does illuminate this question. At Ohio University, researchers fed rabbits a toxic diet high in cholesterol to observe its effects. All the groups except one showed health issues. The rabbits in the exceptional group were stroked by their caretaker before being fed. This limited the negative effects of the diet.
Following is a human story showing the effects of the mind/virtual realm on health. A forty-some year old woman came to Dr. DiCenso's office with severe hair loss, including bald spots. The M.A.P. assessment noted that the woman was under a lot of stress and worked in a toxic environment so a diet and lifestyle routine was suggested. After following this routine, the woman's hair came back within four months and is still healthy seven years later. A conventional assessment would not have determined the true causes of her hair loss.
A Day in the Realm
Disease is not the end result of a process but actually IS the process. This perspective allows us to define the imbalance process as well as note what it isn't. For instance, a chiropractor may find a neck vertebrae out of alignment but not realize that it has been affecting the salivary gland as well. The whole picture is necessary to trace cause.
Cravings may be an early warning that an imbalance exists and the body is attempting to compensate for it. However, merely feeding the craving may not solve the root cause.
Imbalances are typically not straightforward.
Symptoms may sometimes look like a specific condition on the surface but, by viewing the whole situation, a different cause will be found. One example involves stress, which generally produces compensation responses in the body in order to maintain balance. Acute stress, however, will push the adrenal glands to secrete hormones. If the stress continues, more hormones are secreted. At this point, the body goes overboard and creates an itchy skin condition. The adrenal system is ready to collapse now and the immune system is also affected. This looks like hypoadrenia, an adrenal gland dysfunction, but was actually caused by stress.
Seeking balance involves choosing healthy life experiences and deciding how to manage them. Choice of attitude will dictate the effects these experiences will have on the body.
