The practical meaning of this brief theoretical outline is that the body can restore itself if we will only allow it to do so. The body is not so fragile as we sometimes fear. It is capable of forceful resistance. It can be pushed far, very far, and still find resources to recover unless the spirit is broken or the body tissues are worn out. If the body temporarily has exhausted its resources, we can supply medically the help which will restore it. This restoration is, however, only temporary. It is a lift on the way back to health. The true recovery is still in our hands if we have the will.
There is a conscious, rational role which each of us can play in the defense of his health against the stress of living. The human organism is the product of thousands of years of selection and adaptation, and it is built for hard usage. From the stress of living -in itself we have nothing to fear.
It is when we permit stress to continue indefinitely, or repetitiously, without taking steps to relieve it, that we suffer damage. It is when we permit ourselves to follow a neurotic pattern that we ourselves defeat the body's resiliency. When we fight the same battle over and over in fantasy, when we fear disaster in fantasy, when we run for protection in fantasy, then we wear out the body's mechanisms for maintaining its vital balance.
This we must remember: whether we fight the battle in reality or only in dream, whether we labor physically or in the mind, the demands on our body in all these instances are real.
Once we make a decision and take action in the world of reality we relieve the body of that emotional stress which is as real as physical stress. Positive decision, realistic action in the direction of adjustment, are steps on the road back to health.
The infantile dependency pattern is not an effort at adjustment; it is a passive state, an evasion of the need to do anything. The aggressive pattern, on the other hand, is an effort at adjustment. But it needs purpose and control.
Fight in a physiological and psychological sense means changing the situation, or changing oneself; that is, positive adjustment. But flight from the situation is also normal and therefore healthy. Flight is not necessarily cowardice; it may be an act of wisdom and self-preservation.
The choice is ours. Only fright, fear due to indecision, is destructive. By positive adjustment, by supporting mind and body in their efforts to
adjust—which is not the same as compromise or resignation—we can achieve the satisfactions of healthy living.

To grasp the full promise of this approach to illness not only for cure but also for prevention, we must trace the course of the chain reaction of the emotions through the physical mechanisms of the nervous system and the internal glands.
ReplyDeleteWe have within us three nerve systems: the central, the peripheral, and the autonomic. The one of which we are aware, and by which we walk, talk, laugh and cry, eat when we are hungry, cover ourselves when we are cold, is the central or voluntary system; that is, it is controlled by our conscious will
ReplyDeleteThe peripheral system deals with the sense organs.
ReplyDeleteThe autonomic nervous system is the one with which we are now concerned. This system is involved entirely with internal activity. It controls the so-called smooth muscles, those of the visceral organs, the veins and arteries; its branches reach into every tissue and every cell of the body.
Hypothyroidism: Researchers from Columbia University \ Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health showed that the Chernobyl disaster that occurred in 1986, sharply increased the number of cases of thyroid cancer. The reason is getting into the food particles of radioactive iodine. Previously, similar studies were conducted only three times and led to a similar conclusion.
