Have you ever listened to sick people talk? The conversation would be injected and corrugated with the intonations of “my arthritis”, “my headache”, “my back pain”, “my this my that” mentioning in somewhat adorable fashion, the various diseases that afflict them.
They would always collaborate their suffering stories as if to see who has a better suffering going. My this my that of the various diseases becomes like a gift given to them, a special gift, like a family heirloom, that they have no desire of getting rid of.
They would be sitting down in a chair being sedated by television and eating ice cream and cake. I had a friend who tried to hide from one such individual as not only would he talk about his ailments consistently but would want to show off his bulging foot etc. as evidentiary badge of honors. Too often people own diseases thereby telegraphing their bodies and immune systems to stop fighting and lay down and die. Owning these diseases is choosing a host for them, Home sweet home, they become happy like the flu virus of that scummy commercial right there in your body.
I recently read about a lady on WHATNEXT, (Cancer Support Network of Peers and Organization) of her not accepting a certain illness. She is a two time cancer survivor, her siblings, were cancer stricken too but she found the strength to fight back, not only for herself but others too. She now pioneers a champion organization with a bugle, that cancer does not define her.
It is people like those that we need to attach ourselves to, as we refuse to go down for the count like some who have lesser problems sometimes. Do we need more pioneers like her to lead us through this cornfield? Sure we do! It is a maze out there in the depressing world of illness and diseases. By its overwhelming cloud, its dark cloud one has to follow these beacon lights of positivity and hope. One of the fundamental principles of this network is that NO NEGATIVE THOUGH IS WELCOME HERE. If there is an escape pod friends this organization is one. You can become a member for free and join now right there on your computer.
My firm belief always is that some of the prevailing diseases such as cancer and the common cold, are in fact avoidable, if not curable. I have talked about such time and time again. See Real Reasons We Die of a previous blog. Most of the things that happen to us is because of our own pliability though. Take for instance if one member of the house becomes sick with the flu do you have to sit around to get it as it “circulates”. Oh my wife has the flu, I know I soon will get it is a typical way to go. Why not say she has the flu I will be damned if I get it too. That simple positive attitude could go a far way in averting the flu from inside out. Not only will your body start to correspond by sending out the appropriate sentries to guard your system but you would procure additional aids to thwart the threat.
Taking this action against diseases even as cancers will empower you to seek out cancer prevention foods and incorporate them in your daily diet. You would then begin to cut out the typical salt and pepper practice to beneficial seasonings and spices like Ginger, Cayenne Pepper, Garlic, Cinnamon to name a few. Your attitude will not be to gobble up everything passed as food as long as you put some hot sauce on it. You cut out drinking soda and drink antioxidant fortified juices and meat grown without growth hormones and preserved in poisonous liquids to prolong shelf life.
So much you could do if you decide that you will be healthy today.
Probably you should begin to detox yourself of the sickness bug by the simple act of refurbishing your thoughts from the sickness plain to the level of health. From wallowing in the mire deposed on you by years of not thinking right, and not eating right. Let THOUGHT DETOXIFICATION begins now!
Remember, soon, no resident will say I am sick Isaiah 33:24. But until then we do not have to suffer greatly and die prematurely. Become survivors in your own right.
