Millions and billions of people worldwide are suffering from autoimmune
diseases, including myasthenia gravis
which is only one of the many different autoimmune disorders that are causing
anxiety, fear, pain, mental confusion, and even suicidal thoughts in some of
those afflicted.
According to Western medicine, there is no known cure for autoimmune
diseases due to the complexity of their causes. Understandably, patients
afflicted with autoimmune diseases are seeking healing from many different
healing modalities, such as the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the
Ayurvedic medicine, and among many others. In addition, they are desperately
looking for help from herbs, fruits, and all kinds of natural nutrient
supplements, as well as from physical exercises and spiritual practices, to
rejuvenate their failing health due to their weakened immune systems.
Knowledge and Wisdom
Knowledge comes from how your mind perceives and processes
any information available. Wisdom, on the other hand, is how you apply the knowledge acquired to cope
with any disease and disorder you may have, as well as your everyday life and
living. The important implication: being knowledgeable may not necessarily make
you wise or wiser.
The bottom line: you
need both knowledge and wisdom to
heal yourself of any human disease, including myasthenia gravis.
Given that both knowledge and wisdom come from
the thinking mind, your brain is, therefore, the most important of all your
body organs. With its billions of brain cells, your brain is not only most
complicated but also major source of all your health issues and problems.
So, first and foremost, it is important to keep
your brain healthy as much as possible in order to be capable of acquiring the
knowledge and attaining the wisdom to initiate your self-healing of any disease you may have.
The
Healthy Brain
This is how
you may keep your brain healthy:
Keep
yourself hydrated because 80 percent of your brain is water. Drink at least 7-8
cups of water per day.
Keep healthy
gums, and floss your teeth regularly to prevent any gum disease.
Enhance
and improve blood flow to your brain with your 30-minute exercise at least
several times a week.
Eat a
healthy diet: high-quality lean protein; low-glycemic and high-fiber carbohydrates;
natural and not processed foods.
Avoid
inflammation and the formation of free radicals in your body.
Avoid
sugar and sugary drinks, including all sodas and diet sodas.
Quit
smoking, and limit your alcohol consumption to no more than 5 glasses per week.
Manage
your blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels.
Maintain
healthy levels of nutrients, e.g. vitamin D and omega-3s.
Maintain
healthy hormones of the thyroid and the testosterone.
Promote
good mental health, and avoid anxiety and depression.
De-stress
yourself with correct breathing and daily meditation.
Get
quality sleep of at least 7-8 hours a night without the help of medication.
Develop meaning and
purpose in your life.
In addition to having a healthy brain, you
must learn how to empower your
thinking mind to seek and acquire the knowledge to heal your body of any
disease.
