Did You Ever Wonder Why People Get Sick?

When you look at the human body, and what it does daily, you have to wonder with great awe at this marvellous organism that has evolved over millions of years. We genuinely have a fantastic body.

• If all your blood vessels were put end to end, they would go right around the world - with lots to spare. In fact, your capillaries alone would stretch 60,000km - that's around the world 1.5 times.

• The conscious brain receives input of 40 impulses per second. The subconscious brain receives 40   million impulses per second!

• There are over 100 trillion cells in the body, and each cell (which cannot be seen without a microscope) has thousands of functions, and all these cells work in harmony!

• The human brain has 100 billion neurons, each connecting with tens of thousands of other neurons. (Total connections: 1x1015 or 1,000,000,000,000,000.) Total stars in our galaxy = 100 billion (1x109).

• A healthy heart, the fantastic pump in the chest, beats more than 3 billion times in the average lifetime - without needing any servicing.

• Your stomach produces highly acidic Hydrochloric Acid that can eat through bones and teeth, yet it's protected by mucus.

To look at the body as just a machine is very short-sighted. There is a fantastic intelligence that controls and coordinates the billions of functions going on in just one person. The life within operates beyond our comprehension despite all the scientific discoveries over the last 100 years.

There are two ways to look at things. Because the body is so complex, you can believe there is a greater potential for something to go 'wrong', just like technological complexity gives a more significant potential for disarray. The other way is that health, with all its complexity, is a normal state, coordinated by an intelligence beyond our limited education.

We often focus on all the things that are going "wrong" with the body. How about all the things that are going right with the body?  

Whatever we call the intelligence within, it is within each of us. It strives to allow the body to express its full potential.

So why do things seemingly go wrong, and why do we get sick?

There is only one cause of sickness!
