A Return of Old Symptoms – a Naturopathic phenomenon

William Blake writes about Prana and Qi

"Don't think that *prana* is an Eastern concept unknown to the western mind. The 18th Century romantic poet William Blake wrote: Man has no Body distinct from the Soul! for that called Body is a portion of Soul discerned by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age. Energy is the only life and is from the Body; and reason is the bound or outward circumference [...]

Remembering Homeostasis with your Pulse (VAS)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RLnlXNlfdk "Homeostasis is a state of balance of the internal processes of the body, maintained by various feedback and control mechanisms. The living system seems to know and remember homeostasis, and will return to the most beneficial condition known after a stress or change has been introduced.

“Fear can be inherited through sperm”

Check out the article here "The research claims to provide evidence for the concept of animals "inheriting" a memory of their ancestors' traumas, and responding as if they had lived the events" In my medical intuition training, it is recognized that people can carry generational memories from many generations past.

Engage

en·gage /enˈgāj/ Verb 1.Occupy, attract, or involve (someone's interest or attention). 2.Cause someone to become involved in (a conversation or discussion). I remember being 16 yrs old, in a pharmacy, waiting for a prescription (probably for strep throat).

How To Look at Your Health Like a Naturopathic Doctor

When a person is feeling well, and is in equilibrium with their environment, the body is readily eliminating toxins efficiently. These toxins are the ones we come into contact daily ~ environmental from pollution, the pesticides and additives in our food, heavy metals in our water, pharmaceuticals, and mental negative self-talk, to name some. We eliminate through our breath, sweat, bowels, and mucous membranes.               The body will create inflammation if [...]
