This expalins healing beautifully

[[no...]]

 

I want to make it clear that the following quote is not from any Benzo or other health type sites,  I found this on L. Amber O’Hearn free online book about how Carnivore healed her personal health problems BUT, it does explain beautifully about healing and when we get symptoms we fear the worst, but it's not to be feared,  it's the body doing what it needs to do to get us back to being whole and healthy again.  Hope some of you find it helpful, as I did

The body heals itself through a set of processes collectively called inflammation. Inflammation is named for the heat and redness associated with it. But it’s a mistake — an all-too-common one — to consider inflammation damaging like fire. The heat of inflammation isn’t normally a cause of the damage, it’s part of the response. Heat, redness, and swelling come from increased blood flow to the injured area, which brings nutrients and other materials for repair, as well as immune cells to facilitate that repair. Immune cells also fight off foreign intruders and remove damaged tissue.

There is some evidence that elevated temperature may enhance immune cell function [3]. On the other hand, if this increased blood flow is prevented, inhibiting immune cell movement to the area, for example by putting ice on it, healing can actually be impaired [4]. At a certain point, swelling can itself start causing more damage. For example, swelling in the brain can be a dangerous situation. Likewise, it’s conceivable that unrelenting inflammatory processes of other kinds can begin to actually contribute to illness. Nonetheless, these are secondary effects.

You’ll often see people blaming inflammation itself for disease, saying they are sick because of inflammation. Inflammation is often uncomfortable, so it’s an easy mistake to make. In cases where the chronic nature of the problem has perpetuated inflammation to the point where it’s contributing to damage, or it’s causing chronic discomfort, reducing it can be helpful, but it doesn’t address the root cause. In other words, it doesn’t stop the source of the need for inflammation in the first place.

When we use these kinds of symptomatic treatments in cases where there is still an ongoing insult, it can give the illusion that you’ve treated the problem even though the source of the problem is actually still there. This reinforces the perception that there is just something inherently wrong with you. After all, you’ve treated it and yet you’re not getting better. It comes back, or, like a game of whack-a-mole, new symptoms pop up in other places.

Many sellers of supplements capitalise on this by claiming to address root causes that are focused on supposed individual differences. In its extreme form, we get the much lauded “Personalised Medicine”: the idea that we can use genomics, the collection of gene variations that make each of us individual, to guide treatment.
