[Addendum to “Symptoms Are The Messengers, Not The Disease!” Part 1-4]
In Part 1 of this 2-Part article addendum, I shared that some people are self-treating by taking over-the-counter or online purchased vitamins and other food supplements that are being selected based upon their symptoms. I then shared the four unwanted outcomes that occurs as a result of this decision, that also leads to further health complications. Additionally, I shared that the title of this article is one of several reasons for these unwanted outcomes and then directed you to The Villager, 05/27/21 Pg.11, for the other reasons.
Part 1 of this 2-part article addendum also included the first of four answers to Question 10 and this Part 2 includes the other three. The first nine questions were answered in my 4-Part article on “Symptoms Are Messengers, Not The Disease!”
ANSWER 2 of 4 – MULTIPLE CAUSES: Another reason symptoms are unreliable sources is because any one symptom may have multiple causes. A perfect example of this is Karen, from my article “Cell Contents Prove What Heals” (The Villager, 08/26/21, Pg.10). She had five causes for why she had diarrhea 40 times a day for 10 years. Each time we corrected another cause, her symptoms improved another percentage. Until all five causes were corrected, her percentage of improvement in that symptom could not reach 100%, i.e., completely heal in order to stay symptom free.
ANSWER 3 of 4 – MULTIPLE LAYERS: To get to the core of an onion, you must first peel back multiple layers. Similarly, some symptoms are caused because the body has layers of infectious tissue or toxins that must be removed and replaced by new cells and tissue for the body to heal. Sometimes the different layers may even have different causes.
For example, one layer of tissue may contain embedded viruses, another contains toxins from chemical food additives, and so on. And because the therapeutic nutrients your body requires to detoxify viruses is different from removing chemicals, how successful do you think you can be in addressing these multiple layers with multiple causes, when taking supplements based upon your symptoms?
ANSWER 4 of 4 – HEALING PRIORITIES: Remember Teresa’s 14-year-old fibroids that were gone after 13 months of Clinical Nutrition Therapy? (Refer to “He Thought, She Thought!” The Villager, 04/01/21, Pg.5). Her body had its own healing priorities. So, if you are taking a supplement, for example, for a skin condition, and that supplement has some nutrients in it that your heart needed more, then your body will reroute the nutrients to address its priority over yours and you may not see any results from taking that supplement for your skin. However, from testing your biochemistry, you would be aware of this priority and then be able to take the exact nutrients your body needed for both your heart and skin.
TEST DON’T GUESS: When guessing, instead of testing, not all the causes for that symptom are known and not only may you delay your innate healing or interfere with your body’s healing priorities, you are now left with a cupboard full of unused supplement bottles and still suffering, in spite of all the money, time and effort you invested.
You actually save money, time and energy by having a Clinical Nutrition Analysis of your biochemistry to identify the “exact” supplements your body requires. Whether your symptoms have one or multiple causes, layers or healing priorities, you will then get results!
NUTRITION FACT #24: DO YOU HAVE A CUPBOARD FULL OF UNUSED VITAMIN BOTTLES? SYMPTOMS ARE NOT RELIABLE SOURCES FOR CHOOSING VITAMINS OR OTHER SUPPLEMENTS!
