Having aname for“yourdisease” isto be inpossessionof prettyworthlessinformation
The Disease TreeLet names of all disorders be
Like to the limbs, joined to the tree;
Work on the root and that subdue,
And all the limbs will bow to you.

Don’t Make ChoicesBased on Your Fears
• The path of fearleads us to whatwe fear!
• The mentality offear leads us toattack what wefear, which createsmore of what wefear.
Our Cultural Approach toHealth is Based on War
• Disease is ourenemy…
• We suppresssymptoms
• We fight cancer…
• We kill infection…
• We destroyparasites or yeast…
To heal is to makewhole…
• You can’t makesomething “whole” byfighting, judging,punishing or resisting.
• You create wholenessby nourishing, loving,supporting andaccepting.
Activating Remedies

Anything that affects a person’s energetic, mentalor emotional state is an activating remedy
