So can individual health components. \u00a0The healthiness of your liver, your pancreas, your circulatory system, your spirit health, etc. is changing all of the time, <!--more-->moving up and down the gradient, becoming healthier, unhealthier and sometimes ill.\n<p>When we study disease we use symptoms to differentiate between different diseases. \u00a0Some of the same or similar symptoms can occur from many different diseases. I believe all diseases should be named by their cause &#8211; to avoid this confusion. \u00a0However, for some diseases we do not know the cause &#8211; and need to resort to other methods.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0Sometimes, we have<strong>\u00a0symptoms of healing<\/strong>. \u00a0If you break your leg, or cut your arm, or bruise your face, you may observe specific symptoms of healing, most commonly an itch, or a tingling sensation. \u00a0If you have a bad flu, or infection, you might find that your body feels &#8216;different&#8217; for a while, after that passes. \u00a0The symptoms of healing might be skin eruptions or allergic type reactions, itching, and discomfort, as your body and your immune system fights and recovers from illness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0<strong>How can we tell between symptoms of illness and symptoms of healing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When we have an illness, we might take a drug to help fight the illness. \u00a0Drugs have &#8216;side effects&#8217; on the label. \u00a0We take it for granted that when we take a medicine, we will have &#8216;other symptoms&#8217; as a result of the medicine&#8217;s toxicity.<\/p>\n<p>What about taking a healthicine? \u00a0If we are deficient in some nutrient, and we suddenly start taking lots of that nutrient &#8211; what are the symptoms of healing? What are the symptoms of recovery?<\/p>\n<p>We know that, sometimes, people stop taking a medicine, because the side effects are worse than the illness.<\/p>\n<p>But do we understand that sometimes people stop healthy actions, because the &#8216;health effects&#8217; create strange symptoms?<\/p>\n<p>In many cases, we might &#8216;suffer symptoms&#8217; that are actually symptoms of health and healing. But we don&#8217;t know. \u00a0We barely study health, and healthiness, even less, the minute we enter the doctors office. \u00a0Doctors study, diagnose and treat illness. \u00a0If you have symptoms &#8211; their job is to identify the illness. \u00a0If they can&#8217;t find an illness they are more likely to say &#8220;it&#8217;s all in your mind&#8221;, or &#8220;try this and see if it helps&#8221;, rather than say, &#8220;maybe it&#8217;s a symptom of healing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s suppose you are &#8216;unhealthy&#8217;, but not &#8216;sick&#8217;. \u00a0Healthiness is a scale, as seen above, and it is very possible to be in unhealthy state without having a\u00a0diagnose-able\u00a0illness. Now let&#8217;s suppose you deliberately (or even accidently) take some action that increases your healthiness. You might have many different &#8216;symptoms&#8217; as your healthiness increases. \u00a0This can happen very slowly, over the course of several months, or very suddenly, over a few days.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a cut and you put on some anti-bacterial cream, you expect some itching as it heals.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t exercised for a while, and you go out for a run. \u00a0The next day you wake up stiff. \u00a0Is this a sign of healthiness? or Unhealthiness? \u00a0Stiffness can be a symptom of arthritis, or a symptom of healthy recovery from a healthy activity.<\/p>\n<p>More complicated, what if you have an unhealthy digestive system? \u00a0So, you try to eat something to make it healthier. \u00a0What will you &#8216;feel&#8217; if it is getting healthier? The digestive system is very complex. \u00a0But many people, when they &#8216;feel&#8217; discomfort in their stomach, might feel &#8216;hungry&#8217;. \u00a0It&#8217;s natural to associate stomach pains with hunger pangs. Or you might feel that the &#8216;healthy food&#8217; made you feel &#8216;sick&#8217;. How can you tell if your symptoms are symptoms of healing, or symptoms of illness? \u00a0It&#8217;s not easy.<\/p>\n<p>If you are trying to understand your symptoms, and they are symptoms of healthiness &#8211; you might search for a long time. \u00a0There are many internet sites where you can search by symptom. You will find many symptoms attributed to many illnesses. \u00a0But you probably won&#8217;t find symptoms attributed to healthiness and none will lead you to the illness called &#8216;healing&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>If your spirit is healing, you might find yourself overwhelmed by memories, sensations, and feelings. You might think you are &#8216;mentally ill&#8217;, because your symptoms are so strange. \u00a0It&#8217;s difficult to tell sensations of illness from sensations of healing.<\/p>\n<p>A more complex, but not necessarily uncommon example. Let&#8217;s suppose you change your diet to improve your healthiness, because it&#8217;s spring and you want to be healthy for the summer. \u00a0But you find that you wake up in the morning with dry, itchy red eyes. \u00a0You might blame the diet change when the actual cause is spring pollen allergies. Your body might even be reacting more this year &#8211; because your immune system is healthier than last year.<\/p>\n<p>A healing crisis can occur when you detox your body, as it becomes overwhelmed by the release of toxins. Many doctors, conventional and alternative, believe that an individual in the process of getting well will undergo some sort of healing reaction.\u00a0\u00a0A similar event, the\u00a0Herxheimer reaction, can occur when you take an antibiotic and your systems are temporarily overwhelmed by dead bacteria. These symptoms are not illness, the are the result of initiation of healing.<\/p>\n<p>What does it feel like if your liver is healing, recovering from prescription drugs? \u00a0What does it feel like if your muscles are healing from a heavy exercise routine? What does it feel like when your lungs are healing after you quit smoking? \u00a0How long does it take to heal?<\/p>\n<p>Our lives are very complex. It&#8217;s easy to imagine many different situations where we believe something is &#8220;unhealthy for us&#8221;, because we remember some associated events. \u00a0Our natural systems protect us from toxins by helping us to remember what made us feel sick. \u00a0But sometimes they guess wrong. Then we learn and remember the wrong thing for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of illness and the symptoms of healing. But there&#8217;s an even more challenging question:<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the symptoms of healthiness? \u00a0<\/strong>What does it feel like to be really\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/personalhealthfreedom.blogspot.ca\/2012\/04\/hierarchy-of-healthicine.html\" data-blogger-escaped-target=\"_blank\">healthy, from genetics, to diet, through every cell, tissue, organ, bodily system, body, mind, spirit and community<\/a>? \u00a0What are the symptoms of healthiness &#8211; and why don&#8217;t we know?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe we can come close to answering those questions
