All Diseases Begin In the Gut
Hippocrates 460-370 BC
The traditional healing systems such as Ayurveda from India and the Traditional Oriental Medical system both saw the body as an energy field and built elaborate healing sciences around the concept that the body is an energy field. Today we know from Einstein that this is indeed correct, that what is energy is matter and what is matter is energy, from the famous equation E=MC2.
One of the greatest gifts that the energy science of Ayurveda gives us is the understanding of how all diseases begin in the body. Ayurveda began with this understanding 5000 years ago and the Greeks who were students of the medical disciplines of India began to realize this as well, hence leading to the above quote from Hippocrates that all diseases begin in the gut.
But this observation of the gut and disease is difficult to understand from the molecular model of the allopathic tradition. It’s only when we see that the accumulation of imbalancing qualities that leads to deficient agni Over time these qualities circulate and energetically affect other tissues. In the IC bladder pain syndrome(intersititial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) the tissues of the nervous system in advanced cases become the landing point due again to low agni that cause the advanced symptoms of IC.
So this simple observation from the energy science healing traditions can give our current matter field healing discipline valuable insight as to the propagation of disease and the interrelationship of disease and food.
And this observation is why nutrition is central to prevention of disease! Eating foods that resonate with your own physiology on a regular basis, avoiding poor food combinations, ensuring a good digestive fire to burn slip ups, and paying attention to the interrogatories of nutrition will ensure optimal health.
