When the Healer Becomes the Sage: Avoiding Burnout

Most people who step into the natural healing arts do so because something woke them up. A diagnosis. A collapse. A moment when the mainstream answer failed—and something quieter, simpler, more natural worked. At first, that awakening creates fire. You want to tell everyone. You want to help everyone. You feel like you’ve discovered something that could save lives—because, for you, it did.

And then something happens. People don’t listen. They smile politely. They double down on authority, credentials, insurance, and “cutting-edge” interventions that cost fortunes and often deliver less than promised. Worse still, people you love continue down those paths—and some of them die.

This is where many healers burn out. But this is also where a deeper transformation becomes possible.

The Invisible Pivot: From Practice to Sage

There is a moment—usually unannounced—when the healer’s role begins to change. Not because you stop caring or knowing, but because you finally understand something essential:

Truth cannot be forced into a closed nervous system.

Early in the journey, we practice. Later, if we survive emotionally and spiritually, we embody. That is the pivot.

The shift from practice to sage is not about age, titles, or years logged; it is about an internal reorientation—from urgency to presence.

Why Truth Starts to Hurt (and How to Stop Bleeding)

Most burnout in the natural healing space doesn’t come from working too hard; it comes from carrying responsibility for outcomes that were never yours.

When you’ve healed yourself naturally, it’s tempting to believe: “If they only knew what I know, they would choose differently.”

But what we eventually learn—often through grief—is this: People don’t choose healing based on information, they choose it based on identity, fear, and permission.

To question the dominant medical narrative feels, to many, like questioning their own safety, intelligence, or morality. When you speak too soon, too passionately, or too clearly, your truth lands as a threat.

The sage learns to recognize this—not with bitterness, but with compassion.

One of the most liberating realizations in this transition is this:

You do not need to convince anyone.
You need only to be available.

Sages stop explaining and start emanating. They let their vitality, calm, and clarity speak.

They replace urgency with simple statements like:

    • “This is what worked for me.”
    • “I don’t push this on anyone.”
    • “If you ever want to know, I’m here.”

This changes everything. Curiosity opens doors that argument never will.

Timing Is a Form of Compassion

There is a hard-earned wisdom that comes with this stage:

Truth delivered at the wrong moment becomes violence—even when it’s true.

The sage listens for readiness.

Readiness sounds like:

    • “This isn’t working anymore.”
    • “I’m tired of being afraid.”
    • “Do you really think there are other options?”

When readiness isn’t present, silence is not failure.
It is respect.

Grieving the World You Cannot Fix

Every true sage carries a quiet grief.

You see how much suffering could be avoided.
You see how slow systems change.
You see how fear keeps people loyal to what harms them.

Burnout comes from secretly believing: “If I just try harder, I can save them.”

Peace arrives when you finally accept: “I am one voice in a long lineage.”

Your role is not to fix the world; your role is to remain intact while offering truth to those who are ready.

Energy Is the Currency of Wisdom

The sage understands something the overworked healer often forgets: Truth lives in the body.

Joy is not a distraction—it is a transmission medium.
Rest is not laziness—it is preservation.
Pleasure is not indulgence—it is grounding.

When your body stays alive, playful, affectionate, and engaged with life, your presence becomes non-threatening. People lean toward you instead of bracing against you.

Many who make this transition live by an unspoken vow:

I will not abandon my truth.
I will not force it on others.
I will tend my vitality.
I will speak when invited.
I will love without attachment to outcome.

That vow doesn’t weaken your impact; it extends it across time.

If you are feeling this shift—this exhaustion mixed with clarity—it does not mean your work is over. It means it is maturing.

You are no longer here to shout over the noise; you are here to stand as proof.

And for those who are ready—that will be enough.

 

What Can You Do If You Desire to Live Pain and Disease-Free?

I just got the call. Another dear soul—someone I care deeply about—is leaving us. And it breaks my heart. He’s not even 70. Not old. Not ancient. Not done with this life. And yet, he’s preparing to say goodbye… not because his time has truly come, but because of what we’ve come to accept as “normal.” A system that convinces us that death is the only option once a disease diagnosis has been stamped on a chart.

This makes three close friends this year alone—three beautiful souls—who are dying, not from disease itself, but from the aggressive treatments they submitted to, believing it was their only hope. They’ve been told to get their affairs in order, and they’ve accepted that as the end of their story.

Meanwhile, in my inner circle, I know 36 people—thirty-six!—who were told the same thing. Incurable. Imminent. No hope. But instead of giving up, they chose to take a different path. A path not paved by insurance codes and pharmaceutical profits, but one of personal choice, inner alignment, and radical self-responsibility. They sought the guidance of natural alternative specialists, explored holistic approaches, and now… they are living. Disease-free. Vibrant. Thriving.

I’m not saying it’s easy. You may have to fight for your right to live. You may need to sift through layers of censorship, misinformation, and fear. But you can find alternatives. Even with all the filters that Google and mainstream platforms place on search results, you’ll still discover countless stories—real stories—of people who reversed so-called incurable conditions using methods that don’t carry the AMA’s seal of approval.

And you know what? Many of the most effective natural remedies have been outlawed, banned, or ridiculed—not because they don’t work, but because they do. Because they threaten a system that profits more from managing illness than it ever could from curing it.

This is not a conspiracy. It’s a reality that millions have woken up to—and you can too.

If you or someone you love has been given a medical death sentence, I want you to know this: It does not have to be the end. You don’t have to accept the doctor’s curse as it was cast upon you. There are options, paths of healing that honor the body, the mind, the spirit—if you’re willing to look, to question, to take your power back.

I understand this isn’t for everyone. Some people, whether due to fatigue, pain, or resignation, have decided that they’re done. For them, a graceful exit under medical supervision may feel like a relief, a final surrender after a lifetime of struggle. I honor their choice. I don’t judge them. But it still hurts. I will miss them deeply. Their light is going out before its time—and that pain is real.

But if you want to live… if there’s a flicker inside you that refuses to die, then you can choose life. You can rebel. You can stand up and say, “Not me. Not now.”

Let me be clear—this isn’t something you can do for someone else. I’ve tried. I’ve pleaded. I’ve offered connections, referrals to alternative specialists, testimonies. Some have listened. Some haven’t. But it is their journey, not mine.

And maybe that’s part of the programming—the deeply embedded belief that the only way to treat illness is to place your life into the hands of an allopathic doctor. We’ve been trained to believe that we can’t think for ourselves when it comes to health, that questioning medical authority is dangerous. But let me remind you: true healing has always been deeply personal. It requires your participation, your intention, your belief.

There was a time when healing was more grassroots, more heart-centered. In the old days, if a healer helped people thrive, word spread. They succeeded because their patients lived. Today, outcomes don’t matter as much as managing symptoms and extending dependency. That’s not medicine—that’s maintenance. And maintenance, while profitable, is no path to freedom.

So what can you do if you want to opt out of that system and live pain and disease-free?

Here are some steps you can take:

    1. Question everything – Don’t take a diagnosis as your destiny. Ask questions. Do your own research. Get a second opinion—especially from someone outside the traditional model.
    2. Get educated – Learn about natural therapies, holistic treatments, detoxification, nutritional healing, emotional trauma release, energy medicine, and more. You’ll be amazed what’s out there.
    3. Build your team – Find natural practitioners, integrative physicians, nutritionists, herbalists, energy workers. Create a healing tribe that believes in your potential to thrive.
    4. Take responsibility – You are the CEO of your body. No one else is more qualified to decide what happens to it than you. Own that.
    5. Align your mindset – Healing starts in the mind. If you believe healing is possible, your body can begin to follow.
    6. Listen to your soul – What does your inner wisdom tell you? Often, it whispers the truth long before the science catches up.

Remember: you were not born to be a number on a chart or a line on a graph. You were born to live. Vibrantly. Fully. Joyfully.

If you want to stay alive… you must become your own advocate, your own healer, your own truth-seeker. Millions already have. You can, too.

And for those who choose another path… may they find peace. And may we never stop loving them.

But if you still have breath in your lungs, let this be your invitation:

Choose life. Choose hope. Choose your own healing.

Because your story isn’t over—not yet.

 

How Many Funerals Will I Attend Before DIY Remedies Gain Credibility?

I’ve reached a point in my life where attending funerals has become disturbingly frequent. These aren’t the funerals of strangers or distant acquaintances; these are friends—people I’ve loved, laughed with, and shared life’s journey. They’re not dying of old age; they’re succumbing to diseases that others in different parts of the world have managed to defeat. It’s a heart-wrenching irony that I can’t seem to shake: how many more funerals will I have to attend before the credibility of do-it-yourself remedies reaches the masses or, at the very least, the mass media?

Throughout my life, without any particular effort, I’ve come across numerous stories of people who have intentionally defeated diseases that my friends are dying from. These diseases, deemed “incurable” by the FDA and AMA, seem to hold a terrifying grip on the American consciousness. Yet, in other countries, these same diseases are met with a different approach—one that often leads to remission, healing, and hope.

Some of the people I know have ventured beyond American borders, seeking treatment modalities that are illegal in the USA. They return home disease-free, rejuvenated, and often with a newfound passion for alternative healing methods. They delve into herbal remedies, ancient practices, and medical wisdom predating the 1900s. Their lives are transformed—not just by the absence of disease but by a holistic shift in how they live, eat, and approach health.

Those who don’t leave the USA embark on a different journey. They begin with Google, sifting through the digital noise in search of answers, only to become increasingly frustrated by the filtered, censored results. It’s no secret that Google, once a beacon of information freedom, has succumbed to the pressures of the medical industry and the powers that be. And so, these seekers turn to alternatives like DuckDuckGo, digging deeper into the underground world of alternative therapies. Many emerge victorious, eradicating their diseases for a fraction of the cost—without conventional treatments’ life-draining side effects.

Meanwhile, I watch as friends I care about subject themselves to the grueling, often dangerous, and poison-laden regimens prescribed by the American medical system. These treatments, designed to manage symptoms rather than cure the disease, drain the life out of them. And all too often, the cause of death isn’t the disease itself but the treatment. The medical money machine behind this system is staggering, with profits prioritized over people’s lives.

My dying friends often speak with pride about the “best doctors,” “best insurance,” and “best treatments” they have access to. They boast about the astronomical costs of their care, believing they’re getting the best possible deal, all while the system quietly profits from their suffering. They’re so utterly convinced that this is the only path to follow. They cannot hear me when I try to share the alternatives with them. Their minds are closed, locked in a belief system that leaves me preparing for yet another funeral.

It’s a grievous disservice that in other countries, people have the choice not to die from these diseases—without the threat of imprisonment or the fear that their doctors will lose their licenses for offering natural alternatives. Here, in the land of the free, the freedom to choose life-saving, natural treatments is stifled by regulations, fear, and ignorance.

If you’re like me and desperately want to talk to your friends about natural alternatives, even if they might not be open to the idea, here are some tips that might help:

    1. Lead With Love and Empathy: Acknowledge their fear and the seriousness of their condition. Lovingly, let them know you understand their concerns and that you’re not trying to downplay the severity of their situation.
    2. Share Stories: Sometimes, a reliable source’s personal story or case study can open a dialogue. Share success stories of people who have tried alternative treatments and found relief.
    3. Offer Information, Not Advice: People can be defensive about their health choices. Instead of telling them what to do (this causes them to shut down any potential for hearing anything that follows), compassionately offer them information and leave it up to them to explore further.
    4. Suggest Complementary Therapies: Instead of presenting alternatives as a replacement, suggest them as complementary to their current treatment. This can make the idea less threatening and more acceptable.
    5. Be Patient: Changing deeply ingrained beliefs takes time. It sounds preposterous when it feels like time is of the essence – and it may be. Plant the seed, but don’t expect immediate results. Be there for them as a supportive friend, regardless of their choice.
    6. Introduce Them to Holistic Practitioners: If they’re open, introduce them to a holistic practitioner who can provide a different perspective on their condition and potential treatments.
    7. Focus on Prevention: Sometimes, it’s easier to start a conversation about maintaining health rather than curing disease. Discuss the benefits of natural remedies in strengthening the immune system and preventing illness.

The road to acceptance of natural and alternative remedies is long and fraught with obstacles. But for the sake of those we love, we must keep trying. Each conversation, each shared story, and each piece of information is a step toward a future where fewer premature funerals are necessary.

The Broken Bridge and the Healing Road Less Traveled: Update

Have you ever found yourself facing a life-or-death decision where the voices of the world insist there’s only one way forward, but your heart whispers, “There must be another way”?

Years ago, I shared a question that caught people off guard. I asked:
“Would you rent a car to drive across the country, knowing there was only a 10% chance you’d reach your destination… and that if you didn’t make it, it would cost you your life? And what if that rental car cost more than you’d earn in an entire year? Would you still take the trip?”

Most people paused… they squirmed… some laughed nervously. Few said yes.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Every day, people take that exact gamble with their lives.

When diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, many are told that the only path to healing is one filled with toxic chemicals and burning rays, systems that boast success rates far below 10%, depending on which studies you read.
And yet, fear grips them.
They mortgage their homes, drain their savings, and put their bodies through hell, chasing a sliver of hope across a broken bridge that history says most will fall from.

Why?
Because that’s what the voices of authority told them to do.
Because that’s what’s been done before.
Because they were too afraid to look for another way.

The Broken Bridge

Picture this:
A weary traveler stands before a crumbling bridge stretching over a great canyon.
On the other side lies the city of Healing—a place of restoration, peace, and hope. The bridge’s builders promise,
“Trust us. This is your only way across. Pay your fee, step onto the bridge, and pray you don’t fall.”

“How many have made it across?” the traveler asks.

“A few,” they admit. “But don’t think about that. Focus on the chance that you might be the lucky one.”

But the traveler notices something else:
Quiet trails meander off into the forest below. They’re not as obvious. They require more work. Fewer signs point the way. But those who have walked them speak of beauty along the journey, healing in each step, and guides who walk beside them.

Now the traveler must decide:
Take the broken bridge because it’s what everyone says to do?
Or listen to the still, small voice within—and follow a path that feels guided by something greater?

The Real Question

The real question isn’t about bridges or rental cars.
It’s about how you respond when life throws you its greatest challenge.

    • Will you blindly follow the crowd down a path of fear?
    • Or will you pause, breathe, and listen for the higher call guiding you to something better?

Yes, the world will tell you that alternative paths are foolish, dangerous, or unproven. But many of the world’s greatest breakthroughs came from people who dared to take a different road, from those who said,
“There has to be more than this.”

A New Way of Asking the Question

So, let me ask it this way:

If your life was on the line, would you risk everything on a method that has failed most before you, simply because it’s popular, or would you take a leap of faith and seek a path of healing, wholeness, and alignment with the life force that created you in the first place?

No one can make that choice for you.
But your heart knows the answer.

What Most People Miss

Most people forget that healing is not only physical. True healing involves your mind, your soul, and your spirit. You were designed for healing. Your body knows how to heal. But your soul must give it permission. If your healing path leaves you hopeless, fearful, and depleted, then maybe that path isn’t your healing after all.

There are many ways across the canyon. Some involve medicine, some involve faith, some involve nature, and some involve surrender. But none of them require blind obedience to a broken system.

The Invitation

So today, I invite you to pause. Turn down the noise. And listen.

Ask yourself:
“What feels like truth to my soul?”
Not what your doctor says.
Not what your family says.
Not what society says.
But what your soul says.

Your life is too precious to gamble on broken bridges.

The Love of God, or whatever name you call it, did not put you here to be a victim of fear. You are here to learn, grow, love, and, yes, heal. Your journey may not look like anyone else’s. But it is yours. And it is sacred.

Dare to take the road less traveled.

You might just find the healing you were searching for was already inside you all along.

Healing Hands Restrained by Pharmaceutical Bonds

Hey there, folks! We’re diving into some murky waters today, exploring a topic that’s been bothering me for a while. We all put our faith in doctors, thinking they’re the ultimate healers, but what if I told you there’s more to the story? You see, there’s this underbelly of influence lurking behind the scenes, and it’s time we shed some light on it. Strap in as we uncover the not-so-rosy relationship between my fellow doctors and those big pharmaceutical giants, and how it’s shaping the way medicine is practiced.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m all about natural methods, about working with the body’s innate wisdom to heal. But it seems like many of the practitioners who are out there every day on the front lines of medicine missed that memo. They entered the world of medicine with dreams of helping folks get better, but somewhere along the line, they found themselves caught in a pharmaceutical web. The training they received, well, let’s just say it was more about pills and procedures than about tapping into the body’s own power to heal.

Ever wondered why doctors seem to have a prescription pad glued to their hand? It’s not just their penmanship; there’s an invisible puppeteer at play. You see, these pharmaceutical companies aren’t just making pills – they’re crafting an intricate web of influence. They wine and dine doctors, fund research studies that just happen to showcase their latest wonder-drugs, and throw lavish conferences with promises of exotic vacations.

It’s sad, really. We’re made to believe that doctors work for us, that they’re our partners in health. But often, it’s not the patient they’re serving – it’s the pharmaceutical overlords. Those snazzy cars, fancy houses, and yachts? Not just a result of hard work – they’re rewards for playing the pharma game. Doctors end up trading their white coats for marketing stunts, pushing pills they might not even believe in, all for the allure of a bigger paycheck.

Here’s the kicker: they might not even realize what’s happening. They weren’t trained to think about herbal remedies, nutrition, or the body’s innate capacity to heal. They were trained to diagnose, prescribe, and move on to the next patient. The missing link? A lack of education in natural healing methods that could complement, or in some cases replace, those pharmaceutical solutions.

It’s high time we break these chains and reclaim the essence of healing. Don’t get me wrong – I’m not anti-medicine, and I recognize that pharmaceuticals have their place. But it’s time we brought back the balance, the art of natural healing that our ancestors relied upon for centuries. Doctors need to broaden their horizons, to be open to alternative methods that honor the body’s wisdom and minimize the reliance on synthetic fixes.

Folks, it’s time we peel back the layers and question the norms. Our doctors, they’re not villains, but they’re ensnared in a system that prioritizes profits over true healing. As we venture forward, let’s encourage medical education that encompasses the best of both worlds – the advances of modern medicine, alongside the age-old wisdom of natural healing. It’s time for doctors to reclaim their healing hands, and for patients to expect nothing less than comprehensive, balanced, and individualized care.

Energy Healing and Modern Medicine

Early in my ministry, I had the opportunity to study with a small group of enlightened nuns who taught me how to administer energy healing in the form of “laying on of hands” to heal the sick. The sick could be any kind of dis-ease, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual.

In those early days, I used this practice with varying degrees of success. It made me wonder if I could increase my effectiveness by embracing and combining other healing modalities? This began my continued quest to seek out and understand new methods of administering energy healing.

Most people cannot wrap their heads around the idea that someone (really anyone) can plug-in to the power source of all life, all that there is (was) and ever will be, and direct this energy to heal the human body, mind and/or soul with more accuracy and efficacy than any hospital, doctor, or drug therapy.

While the medical community will do anything to discount the veracity of the claims of those who have been healed by energy healing methods, the fact remains that statistically, these energy healing methods are every bit as effective (if not more so) when compared to modern medical interventions.

Modern medicine does have a statistical advantage over emergent trauma intervention, thanks to an organizational organizational-wide emergent response system that is quite effective in our present-day society. These efforts to establish such a system should be applauded and honored.

Medical schools teach doctors to prescribe medications which are proving that while they may relieve a particular discomfort (which is highly beneficial) some pharmaceuticals might not have good long-term effects on the human body over time. This will bear itself out by reading the small print on any flyer accompanying a designer pharmaceutical drug or alternatively attempting to listen to the fast-talking announcer reading the disclosure of side effects following a drug commercial.

It makes you wonder why so many people are eager to take prescription medication with the potential of having so many side effects, some of which may include death? No problem, the drug industry responds, we have a prescription for each of those side effects as they appear (and each of those comes with its own set of side effects).

This is why you’re seeing more and more people turning to energy medicine and more natural remedies.

Long before there were patented designer drugs, there were medicine women and healers who rose up within a community. These natural healers used whatever means they had at their disposal to administer healing throughout their communities.

The requirements to be a healer were basic enough. If you healed people, you were a healer and people in the community came to you and supported your gift of healing. If you did not heal, or God forbid, if your patients died, you were forced to find a more suitable vocation.

Not so in modern medicine.

Note that most modern medicines, which may be invaluable in the saving of human life in critical situations, do not appear anywhere in nature, which makes them difficult for the body to process over time, even though they are often chemical recreations of substances found in nature which God has provided us for healing purposes.

In side-by-side comparisons, there are advantages to both energy healing and modern medicine. Except for the negative effects of long-term prescription medication usage, they both have their merits, though tapping into the life power source of the universe has many advantages over modern medicine.

Among other advantages, one is the ability to administer healing over time and space without having to be within the immediate proximity of the patient. This is referred to as distance healing.

Other huge benefits include healing of past wounds, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual all at the same time (or within a very short time), with little or no side effects.

This is why energy healing is creating competition for psychotherapy in our modern society.

Since modern medicine is promoted by the government, natural energy healing and “spiritual” interventions are disregarded as being ridiculous or practicing witchcraft and in many cases are considered illegal practices (if not practiced correctly) which are crimes against the State.

If you practice natural healing modalities, there is some concern that the government will fine you, jail you, even send you to prison for helping to heal people who come to you for help, if you can believe that.

Thankfully, for those of us who choose to seek out natural healing and energy medicines, there is no law against you doing so for yourself if you are of age. Though if you are making the decision to seek out natural healing alternatives for your minor child, there may be legal exposure to you for doing so.

All of this said, note that increasingly more progressive hospitals are inviting natural healers to frequent their campuses and integrate energy medicine with modern medicine. Why? Because patients who use a combination of medical and natural modalities recover and heal more rapidly with longer-lasting results than those who do not.

Go figure that.

So, the next time you come down with something that might need medical attention, what will you do?

Will you rush off to the doctor, or seek a form of natural medicine or energetic healing?

You May be a Natural Healer

Back in the olden days, before modern medicine took over, natural healers would rise up within the community. These were people with an uncanny ability to heal people and help them overcome extreme challenges in life, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. You may be a natural healer.

Before modern medicine became a powerfully controlled profit-driven machine, anyone could be a doctor. You could go into any community and hang a sign over your door that had the word, “Doctor,” on it. People in pain might come to you for whatever treatment you offered. If you healed them, you ran a successful business or ministry, if not, you might starve to death unless you found another vocation which you were better suited.

This was a far more honest and credible method of practicing the healing arts than the present model of practicing medicine for the most successful doctors today are those who can prescribe the most expensive designer drugs and refer to or perform the most surgical procedures, all driven by profit.

There is no requirement for a doctor to heal, only to manage pain, or sell services, justifying themselves by an oath “to do no harm” rather than heal. For the most part, they are not healing, they are practicing medicine for profit.

This is not to say that all doctors are not healers. Some are natural healers who were fortunate enough in life to follow the path to become doctors recognized by the State and authorized to treat people. But the natural healers go on throughout their lives, possibly never knowing that they themselves were born as natural healers.

You may be a natural healer. You may have been born to be a natural healer. I think most people who possess the innate gift of natural healing find their way into serving the community in ways that are somewhat in alignment with their gift to dispense healing. We refer to their gift as a natural healer, when in reality, they have the gift of channeling source energy to another person’s body, which brings the patient’s body into alignment, allowing the body to effectively heal itself.

Natural healers may also have insight into potions and lotions which may help to promote healing, pain management, health, and/or wellness. Back in the olden days they may have learned about these enhancements from family, passed down generation to generation, or from other natural healers who used the methods because they worked.

Besides nursing and medicine, if you are a natural healer you are probably attracted to certain vocations which offer huge benefit to the community. Natural healers are drawn to professions such as counseling, coaching, health and wellness advocacy, and various forms of activism, following one’s instinct to heal.

You may be a natural healer if you are compelled to help others in your local community and/or have a sense that you were meant for more and have a desire to help make the world a better place.

You may be a natural healer if you are beginning to understand that there is far more than meets the eye happening in our world today, if you are in the process of awakening, and long to play a part in the support of the blossoming human expansion and evolution in consciousness.

You may be a natural healer if you are withdrawn from society, an introvert. This is the result of a knowingness that things are not as they appear to be. You sense the dichotomy of truth as it is presented to you by the community and that which feels vastly more real to you. This is due to your innate deeper connection to source energy, which makes you more sensitive to the goings-on of everyday life that others take for granted.

You may be a natural healer if you find yourself at home in nature, and feel a deep connection to the natural beauty, elegance, and admire the complexities of both flora and fauna. You may find yourself promoting the nurturing of natural resources and the preservation of wildlife and/or rescuing animals both wild and domesticated.

Natural healers bubble up out of the crowd in many ways. First of all, they find it difficult to “fit in” with their peers, though some develop the social skills necessary to appear to be normal while watching others in the maze of life in utter fascination, possibly thinking questions, like, “How could they be so blind?” as they are struggling with their particular growing calling trying to emerge.

Most natural healers today will suffer prior to their emergence because social programming is so severe that they deny their own sacred gifts. This can cause a great deal of stress and conflict in the life of the undeveloped natural healer, leading to dramatic trials and tribulations, including suffering severe illnesses or disease which may reach chronic even near-fatal proportions forcing them to “wake up” their ability to heal themselves first.

Once their healing senses have been awakened, they know first-hand that the body has its own innate ability to heal itself and begin to recognize their ability to channel the healing (in whatever form they are blessed with) to others, enabling their bodies to heal themselves.

Natural healers may also suffer great life traumas throughout their life in effect to equip themselves with the tools necessary to have empathy and compassion for those whom they will serve or will be their “patients” but also to force them to come to grips with their natural healing abilities.

If any of this resonates with you, you may be a natural healer.

DIY Life Threatening Disease Elimination

Having recently witnessed yet another elimination of a life-threatening disease, I am reminded of how incredible our bodies and the planet which surrounds us like a warm blanket on a winter’s day are. When they are allowed to work at their highest potential in concert for the greater good, nothing can thwart their natural and grandiose power with a grace and elegance that only leaves me in shock and awe at the perfect design of it all.

How magnificent our bodies are in their natural ability to repair, rejuvenate, regenerate and defeat any disease or malady, if empowered to operate at full capacity, and if you need a little help from outside yourself to support the process, we are surrounded by natural substances that make up Mother Nature’s natural pharmacy, available to us 24/7.

While more and more doctors are awakening and realizing that there is more to healing than making the big bucks signing people up for expensive surgeries and prescribing Big Pharma’s patented medicine, people are taking responsibility for their own health and self-healing using alternative medicine and natural remedies.

Is it easy? No.

First, let’s take a look at “disease.”

A specific disease is not anything that will harm you. The disease is simply a way to categorize a set of symptoms and commonalities within the body into a group that is standardized enough that doctors can share information with each other quickly, without having to share all the individual specifics about a patient’s condition.

When you are given the diagnosis of a disease by name, it is generally understood that you are having “these kinds of symptoms” in “these areas of the body.” Once a diagnosis has been made, the doctor will go about the work of investigating what has worked for other doctors who have been diagnosed with the same disease and hope that they can help you in the same way.

All are very logical, systematic, and efficient when things work out the way you’d like them to. Normally, successful treatment is assumed when the patient is experiencing fewer symptoms of the disease.

Often the symptoms exist from something not right inside the body, and the something not right could be pathogens, bacteria, viruses, or parasites that are attacking the body from the inside out. When this is the case, a universal antibiotic, like chlorine dioxide might be effective in killing off the pathogens that are causing this particular set of symptoms.

Your body, as incredible as its potential to heal itself, has been reprogrammed since birth to be incapable of healing itself, making it dependent on the chemical incarnations of natural elements, the corporations, and the staff which administer them.

So, if you’re thinking about taking personal responsibility for your own health, wellness, and defeating of disease, even including the most horrible life-threatening challenges, you will need to take the proactive approach of building your body’s natural ability to heal itself. If your body has its natural ability to self-heal restored, it can do the work it was designed to do, on its own; what an amazing design all of this is.

And it happens all around us every day. I have been fortunate enough to know some of the people who have taken a holistic approach to healthcare defeating their own life-threatening diseases. They have emerged on the other side of their death sentence, with outstanding health, enhanced quality of life, and longevity.

Yesterday, another joins the ranks of the many who have looked death in the eye and put the Grim Reaper on notice, “Mother Nature and I are gonna kick your ass!” and they do.

Befuddled doctors all say the same thing, “It must have been a misdiagnosis,” blaming botched tests, or alternatively, “a miracle.” (84% of Americans believe in miracles.) Even the medical community admidst that for no known reason, cancer patients go into spontaneous regression for no reason whatsoever (accounting for 1 in 80,000 cancer patients).

Although, even among this exclusive club of the medical community, there are a growing number of them who are awakening and taking note of the magnificence of the self-healing human body, as well as the natural elements which surround us, as if they were gifts of God, all provided in perfect harmony to support the melody of our lives.

Those who have healed themselves of catastrophic maladies know better. Their new lease on life was not a misdiagnosis, miracle, or accident of any kind. They healed themselves by exiting the flow of the mob and cleared a path through nature to healing and wellness, which few others dare to consider.

I too have allowed my body to deteriorate and become dependent on the chemistry which I’ve been force-fed since birth. Still, now, I am joining the burgeoning ranks of the natural nutcases who are living life in a different way, a better way, embracing the magnificence and power of a brilliantly conceived and engineered closed system, where God has provided everything we need to achieve our highest and best, live a better life, our best lives, and make the world an even better place.

Maybe even you might be interested in the concept that you, too, could heal yourself.

Holistic Approach to Healthcare

There is a growing trend in alternative medicine and natural remedies among the people (about one-half of the American population believes in alternative therapies and this number is growing rapidly). Even so, many people are still locked into the science of believing in traditional medicine and ongoing medical care by trained professionals. Remember, these professional doctors have been professionally trained in dispensing designer patented drugs, referring patients for tests by exposing themselves to expensive scientifically advanced equipment and surgeries.

Some people aren’t buying it anymore. They are questioning the idea that expensive designer drugs and surgery are not always (and maybe never) the best answer. These free-thinking individuals are refocusing their attention on natural remedies and alternative medicine.

This is part of the expansion explorer’s journey. In order to make a break from the mainstream you have to stop believing in the propaganda which exists all around us in an effort to make us believe this information is true, yet those who do believe in all the persistent lies, think that if they’re not feeling well, they must seek out a doctor and blindly follow his or her recommendations.

If you want to make the move toward more natural approaches to your individual health care you must think differently. After you’ve decided to believe the hype in the false claims of advertising and promotion of these designer drugs, you need to look at your maladies in a different way.

Instead of thinking about going to the doctor, you will need to look at other things that are going on in your life that might be affecting your mind, heart, and body. One of my favorite people, Louise Hay, shared a list of symptoms and the conditions of life which contribute to these sicknesses and diseases in her book, You Can Heal Your Life. This book is probably one of the most significant contributions to making the world a better place and will long be revered even though she has left us to continue her journey on the other side. What a gift.

Although it is known that these principles, as Louise Hay presents them, are not necessarily a new idea, as these concepts are found in ancient spiritual practices, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and other holistic health systems. But she, so cleverly inspired, provided the modern world with a map that we could wrap our consciousness around.

When you’re entertaining the idea of taking responsibility for your own health care, you need to look outside the box of traditional medicine. When you use Doctor Google to help self-diagnose and treat your own symptoms, you will note that expensive clinical research and scientific studies have been conducted and their results published and made easy for you to find.

Keep in mind that these expensive studies are funded by the pharmaceutical company that created the patented drugs, as well as the organizations, universities, and government agencies that support them. While natural remedies are free or extremely inexpensive, so there is no scientific proof to support any claims that you might find for results associated with these alternative therapies. What you will find, though, are anecdotal stories and personal experiences of those who have taken this road less traveled.

While you are looking into these alternatives, also keep in mind that there are people who specialize in these alternative therapeutic interventions. There are natural healing modalities and practitioners who specialize in these, as well as other approaches to natural healing. These practitioners agree that healing is a three-fold process addressing the body, the mind, and the spirit; this is the holistic approach, treating the whole body.

When you’re considering self-healing, be sure to take the time to examine all three areas of your life, the body, the mind, and your spirit.

Alternative Medicine and Natural Remedies

I know this is a tender subject. When you talk about alternative medicine and natural remedies, people start to roll their eyes and imagine you dancing with a rattle in a grass skirt, like some kind of cartoon witch doctor. A toast to the powers that be responsible for brainwashing the general population, hat’s off to a job well done. We’ve all been duped and we don’t even know. That is unless you do know…

If you do know, maybe you’re like me and you’ve seen in impact or natural holistic health modalities which embrace the idea of natural medicine as an alternative to patented designer prescription medications.

As a matter of fact, I’ve witnessed natural cures (I realize I’m not qualified to use the word, “cure,”) using simple techniques and herbal medicine that have far-surpassed whatever promises the medical community might make.

I’ve known many people who were given six months to live. For those who simply accepted their dire diagnosis, they passed away within a year.

For the others who sought to fight the doctor’s death sentence, with alternative medicine and natural remedies, guess what? You guessed it, and something deep inside you knows it’s true. They are all living their lives fully and joyously.

What do the doctors have to say about this when they are confronted by their self-healing now healthy beyond belief patients? They all have this response down pat, “It’s either a misdiagnosis or a miracle.”

There is nothing miraculous about the healing of themselves, except for this:

The miracle of the human body to heal itself while accelerating natural healing with what mother nature has provided for us. Our planet and its inhabitants are perfectly matched and attuned to work in concert for our highest and best outcome.

Everything you could possibly need was placed here on earth before we were put here. We experience life in the most comprehensive closed system, which is in itself is one of the most amazing miracles, confounding the highest thinkers of time since our introduction to this planet.

Nothing is more natural than having the ability to heal yourself; this is what your body was designed for.

If this is true (and you know it is), then why is it illegal to honestly tell your story? There are people who have boldly proclaimed the power of natural healing and natural cures. Where are they now?

The answer is so impossible to imagine that I won’t even attempt to offer any suggestions. Suffice it to say, in general, they do not continue their professing natural cures for very long until their voice slowly fades into the confusion of obscurity.

I have long been a supporter of natural healing, studied and practiced in various areas of alternative health care, though this is not the main focus of my personal calling. I was first so impressed early in my ministerial career, at how effective prayer was in initiating spontaneous healing, this sparked my interest in natural healing.

And believe me, if you’re seeking out natural remedies or an active participation in holistic health, consider spirituality as part of the comprehensive therapeutic approach. A little belief goes a long way. The integration and calling upon a higher power can make all the difference.

If we can agree that all disease affects three separate but unified parts of us, our body, our mind and our soul, then neglecting the soul can hinder your healing and wellness significantly.

Can natural healing be accomplished without spiritual integration? Absolutely, but the results are far greater and more rapid with your heart connected to the source of all life.

If you think you’re ready to take responsibility for your own health, the good news is, Google is a good repository for the otherwise hidden jewels for natural remedies. You can pretty much find anything you could possibly think of, though much of the information is anecdotal, and you will find a lot of people swearing that considering any of these natural cures is dangerous, if not lethal.

Be smart about it. Exercise your due diligence and see what dies. If you’ve been given six months to live, it may not be you, it might be your belief in what you’ve been trained to believe about health and medicine.
