This unblocking will relieve the pain in most cases, and also increase blood
and lymph flow to the related areas.
You must remove the obstructions and acidosis. If you don’t, the cause
remains, as you’ve only treated the effect, which can be swelling, pain, or
other symptoms. These are nothing more than the natural defenses of the
body in response to the cause. Detoxification is the only logical answer that
will yield a lasting cure. Alkalization is the method by which detoxification
starts. Alkalization neutralizes acidosis. Detoxification not only alkalizes the
body, but also gives the body the added energy it needs to clean itself out.
MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL DETOXIFICATION
True detoxification must take place from all levels within you. We have been
talking throughout this book about the power that your mind and emotions
have upon your health. If you want to be successful in attaining true health
and vitality, you must detox your thoughts, emotions and your physical
body.
All matter is comprised of atoms, which are the basic building blocks of
the universe. The movement of these atoms creates electromagnetic energy,
which creates magnetism. Movement creates, and is a reflection of, two
opposite poles or forces—positive and negative. Energy simply fluxes
between these two opposites. These twins are called the yin (negative) and
yang (positive) in Chinese Medicine. These positive and negative energies,
although being of the same essence, have different effects upon you and your
body. For example, the emotional states of anger and love will affect your
thoughts and your physical body in different ways. Anger creates stress and
constricts the blood and lymphatic flow within the body. It shuts down the
liver and pancreas, affecting digestion. It overstresses the adrenal glands
causing excessive hormone and neurotransmitter release. All this causes
acidosis. Love, on the other hand, creates the opposite. It increases the blood
and lymph flow. It improves digestion and kidney elimination. And it
alkalizes your body. Anger obstructs and restricts, and love opens and
expands. You could also say that anger causes “dis-ease” and love heals.
From a spiritual viewpoint each of our emotions is integral to creation,
for the whole is merely the sum of its parts. They will each have their own
lessons to teach you. You can judge whether one is good or bad for you at
