IMMUNE FOR LIFE\ MANY NAMES, MANY SYMPTOMS: ONE DISEASE
Your immune system and your mind are two very important aspects of your “doctor within.” Powerful as they are, however, they depend upon all the other components of the “doctor within” to build health and happiness. A weakness in only one part of your “doctor within” is all it takes to encourage disease and/or depression. If the arteries that bring fresh blood to your brain are so clogged that parts of your brain die, or if an injury to your kidneys decreases their ability to filter out wastes, the whole body can suffer grievously.
Your “doctor within” is an interlocking system, so some problems may affect more than one part of your “doctor within.” Depression, which is linked to a biochemical imbalance in the brain, can also trigger the release of high-voltage chemicals that can weaken the immune system. Anger and hatred spur the production of supercharged chemicals, which may hasten a heart attack.
Think of your “doctor within” as your shield. If you drop that shield, even a little, you’re exposing yourself to disease. What kind of disease? Anything from a heart attack to herpes. But remember, the heart attacks, herpes and other disorders are really symptoms. The real problem is a breakdown of your “doctor within.” The weak link may be in the immune system, it may be in the mind, it may be improper regulation of blood pressure or blood sugar. But the immune system, the mind and the mechanisms that oversee blood pressure and blood sugar are all part of your “doctor within.”
That’s why I say that most of the diseases we get are really failures of our “doctor within.” You can call them heart disease or infections or herpes or depression or stroke or high blood pressure or cancer, but the truth is that they are all due to a breakdown of your natural defenses. If your “doctor within” is strong, you can shrug off most diseases. That’s what this book is all about: keeping your “doctor within” in tip-top shape.
