One of Those Days.
Today I didn't want to get out of the bed. Yesterday I had a headache the entire day. I couldn't sleep at night. Woke up 1.30 am, by the thunder and lightning, rain pouring down outside. In the detox journey all days are not equal. Once in a while you'll feel blue, grumpy, runny nose, aching joins. This is actually all according to plane. The body is doing deep cleansing, you are making huge process during these days. It's called detox symptoms. The funny thing is that theses symptoms are the same as common "diseases" invented by the medical community.
What is a cold? It's the body cleansing the throat and sinus area from accumulated waste. Specifically the lymph system of this region. It's not because of a virus. Virus and bacteria does not cause "illnesses". They are there because there is waste to "eat". That's their role in nature. To break down dead matter into its parts, enabling it to go into the natural cycle of matter again.
Why is it easier to "catch" a cold in cold weather? Because cool air is alkaline, which may kick your body into detox if you have a lot of waste lying around. That cold air makes the body a little bit more base and if the body has the energy, it will use that opportunity to cleanse and heal itself. Isn't it true that we always feel much better after the "illness"?
What is a fever? An internal detox reaction. Waste has accumulated to such a degree that bacteria and virus activity has run rampant. To much of these guys are not good, since they themselves leave acid residues behind. Balance. So the body turns up the temperature to "burn it off". In the same swing loads of mucus will be dispelled, and with no energy you'll thank god for that comfy bed you always took for granted. The body is smart.
The worst thing you can do is stopping these natural detox reactions. And that's exactly what doctors like to do. Because fevers are "dangerous" and you can die if the temperature goes to high. No one has died of a fever. People die from the TREATMENT of the fever. The antibiotics , ibuprofen etc. Same thing with cancer, but that's for another day.
What is pneumonia? A deeper cleansing, lymphatically, of the lungs. Same principal. But more painful and more bedtime.
I woke up 8.30, all groggy and confused. Yoga's at 9 and I knew I'd feel better afterwards. I've never regretted a yoga class. And now my headache's gone.
