Challenging the Infectious Model
"I began stretching my neck and releasing my tight neck muscles three months ago. Things seemed to be releasing amazing well" Jim related
"That sounds great" I responded "Your posture looks very much improved"
"But now the problem I began increasing my stretches and I think in retrospect was pushing the muscles beyond where they wanted to go I guess I was doing too much, too fast Typical Pitta, huh?"
"Well, nothing wrong with that Now you know Anything else?"
"That's why I'm here I've come down with a bad cough and runny nose But strangely all the runniness of the nose is coming from the right side Nothing from the left"
"This is not a viral URI but a Kapha release of congestion Stagnant energy has been trapped in the upper airway passages and is now being released with the release of the muscles and tendons of your stiff neck "
"Oh I thought I needed an antibiotic I've been coughing up thick green mucous"
"Let's see what happens because it's very early to have developed an infection You've only been symptomatic for 3 days Let's give it some time"
Over the last fifteen years, matter science physicians have become more and more aware of the fact that not everything need be treated with antibiotics
Rheumatoid arthritis, gastritis, interstitial cystitis, prostatitis are all inflammatory nonbacterial conditions that reveal the Pitta provoked conditions of the mindbody
Have you ever had a nonbacterial inflammatory condition? Have you had a release that our friend describes above to his doctor? Have you ever taken antibiotics and the condition didn't get better?
Have you wondered why things didn't resolve?
Until tomorrow To health as a Skill Love DrBill
