Natural Body Detox: 5 Levels of Healing

By

I first did a 7-day fast in 1976, got great results,  and continued the process of naturally detoxifying my body and mind ever since.  After a few years, however, I hit some major emotional and physical roadblocks to this natural body detox, i.e., it ain’t as easy as it first appeared!!

As a chiropractor, I wanted to learn how to  heal others so I could also heal myself.  To a large extent, I succeeded, but also felt like Alice after she passed through the Looking Glass – confused and confounded at the unlimited number of options, possibilities, and opinions from every “expert” out there.

And, I concluded, if I were confused, what chance would the layperson have in understanding this primeval soup of health care and treatment options??! Consequently, most people decide to allow their doctors to spoon-feed them the medical options:

  • pills or medication
  • support or maintenance technology
  • surgery or
  • radiation.

Each of the above are meant to intervene with some THING to affect the health or well-being of the sick or injured.  While there is certainly nothing wrong with this health model – especially in cases where first aid is required (e.g., broken bones) –  this same model can lead to a worsened condition or even death when applied to chronic diseases. There is even a name for diseases caused by doctors:  Iatrogenic.

I soon came to the conclusion that I would not fight this medical juggernaut. Despite the poor record of care for chronic conditions, the medical model has – for better or worse – positioned itself over time as the number one provider.  They simply have a better marketing machine, and everyone has the right to make his or her own health purchase decisions!

That said, I also realized that other natural health practitioners and I have a duty and responsibility to present feasible alternatives to the current medicate-cut-burn medical options.  Gradually my hope is that humanity will embrace the definition of “health” as a deeper mind-body-spirit connection and not just a lack of symptoms!

For my part, I chose to focus on what I considered to be the deeper aspects of healing – the emotional-family-spiritual realm.   Quite by accident around 1992 I found that gaining access to some deeper emotional blocks could release conflicting decisions stored in them.  This work I now call the Logical Soul.

During Logical Soul sessions, I found that deep mental purging (detoxification) released hidden blocks that allowed healing even on a physical level to take place.  Although there were occasionally other issues that arose as a result of this purging, the overall effect was profound and seemingly permanent.

While the patient of client seldom made the connection between mental-emotional work and physical symptoms, I was aware of my responsibility to prepare them for the eventuality of a natural body detox, and to provide tools to also purge the body of these toxic metals, bacteria, viruses, and fungii.

One of the brightest stars on the alternative horizon is a German-born practitioner, Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt. His five levels of healing model stands as a very practical tool for all natural practitioners to truly understand the workings of nature as it affects human disease, health and well-being.

Here is an explanation of Dr. Klinghardt’s model, as explained by Dr. Rich:

Enjoy!

    No matter what your health status, age or level of fitness you can do something to exercise your body and mind enough to maintain a decent level of immune function, vital organ strength and systemic protection. Even moderate exercise such as walking or swimming for 30 minutes each day, or weight bearing exercise such as gym work are all extremely beneficial.
