CHAPTER 3:
THE PHYSICAL BODY
THE LIMBIC SYSTEM
The limbic system is an internal system that combines
the immune, repair, growth and cellular reproduction
systems. The immune system involves cells that combat
foreign matter such as dust, pollen, viruses and pollutants.
The repair system restores damaged tissues while the growth
and reproductive systems maintain and replace aged or worn
tissues.
Weaknesses in the limbic system can result in allergies,
sensitivities, or even chronic and degenerative conditions that
cannot be corrected or "cured" by medical science. Cancer is a
perfect example of a system that has become wildly
disorganized and has lost its ability to discriminate between
normal and abnormal cells. All mayhem can result in a body
where cells start to divide and multiply out of control. Science
has shown that we all have cells in our body that are
"cancerous," but under normal conditions other cells monitor
and destroy them as soon they misbehave. They are then
washed out of the body, leaving only the good cells behind.
When the limbic system is specifically turned back on,
using N.O.T. protocols, the body of a formerly "disorganized" individual can
"wake up" and start to remove these abnormal tissues in a matter of days or
weeks.
Allergies point to another kind of disorganization, where the body has lost its
ability to recognize and accept a normal substance in the environment. For
example, when one is first exposed to bread, the body produces cells that
acknowledge the bread molecule as a usable substance. It digests the bread, uses
its energy and makes a "recognition file" which is stored in the brain. The next
time bread hits the tongue, the body goes straight to the brain and checks its
filing cabinet to see if it recognizes the substance. If it does, the body
accepts the bread as "friendly" and begins the normal process of digestion.
In a disorganized nervous system, however, it is as if the files have been
jumbled or cannot even be stored. The brain now believes that the substance is
unknown or life threatening since it has no recollection of prior exposure. For
survival reasons it rejects the substance by sneezing, watering eyes, coughing,
vomiting, diarrhea, or reactions through the skin such as itching and rashes. It
is very unfortunate that so much attention has been given to relieving symptoms
- through taking medicines that stop coughing, dry up sinuses, or block
diarrhea, for instance - when those are the very health giving strategies that
the body employs to try and heal itself. This is also a perfect example of how
we sometimes work against the body and fail to honor its wisdom because we are
too lazy or inept to see past the obvious symptoms.
Instead of avoiding foods or uncomfortable symptoms, we should be listening to
what the body is telling us, and reprogramming it to coexist with the
environment as nature intended.
