 We must, however, be willing to accept what it brings to our lives.
The spontaneous Healing of Belief
Almost universally, we share a sense that there's more to us than meets the eye. Somewhere deep inside, we know we have miraculous powers that we simply haven't tapped—at least not in this lifetime. We also know that we have the ability to bring the miracles of our imagination into the reality of our lives. Maybe it's because we're aware that these things are possible that we find the strength to love fearlessly and share unselfishly in a world that often looks dangerously out of control. |
| It's when we abandon ourselves to that new possibility that we shatter the old paradigm of false limits and find the spontaneous healing of our beliefs.
"Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it." ? |
| The aim in doing so is that we may apply this knowledge to create a better world—and discover more about ourselves along the way.
The spontaneous Healing of Belief is written with one purpose in mind: to share an empowering message of hope and possibility in a world where we are often led to feel hopeless and powerless.
Do We Really Want the Truth?
In another of his writings, Rumi further described the curious nature of our relationship to reality, saying, "We are the mirror, and the face in the mirror. We are the sweet cold water, and the jar that pours [the water]. |
| Could our role as "participators" explain mysteries such as spontaneous remission of disease or miraculous healings? And, if so, what do these connections tell us about our own well-being?
While the following situation itself is hypothetical, it's created as a composite from several true-life examples of something that doctors see on a routine basis yet are trained to dismiss because there's no "rational" explanation that accounts for healing without medicine. |
| Rather than the collective "us" that we've been talking about so far, this is where the spontaneous healing of belief becomes individual. These questions are designed for you, so I will direct them to you in a personal way and ask them as if I were speaking with you. I invite you to answer the following:
Are You Loving Fully?

| As we shall see, however, there is a scientific reason, and the same science that discounts these spontaneous healings as "miracles" actually gives us the mechanism that explains why they work.
In the make-believe lunchroom of a make-believe hospital somewhere in a big city on the East Coast of the United States, two doctors are discussing a successful and mysterious healing that has occurred in one of their patients. It's successful because the patient's anomalous tissue growths on her legs have suddenly disappeared. |

 Although these cases are labeled instances of "spontaneous remission," as though the illness has suddenly decided to go into hiding but might suddenly spring out at any moment, in many instances they represent another example of the body's ability to self-correct through the power of intention. Case after case of spontaneous remission describes people up against a major roadblock in their lives: unremitting stress, unresolved trauma, prolonged hostility, marked isolation, profound dissatisfaction, or quiet despair. |

 These spontaneous images and patterns can be used to harmonize the two halves of the brain. Practice with this method can begin to unite the two hemispheres, creating and sustaining greater coherence and harmony: a goal of most meditative techniques.
When you open your awareness to these spontaneous and often playful images, you are gaining access to a much greater database than is normally presented to you by your conscious mind. |

 Taking responsibility for your health means empowering yourself with the state of belief necessary to initiate spontaneous healing, and the body already knows how to spontaneously heal itself of even scary-sounding diseases like cancer, by the way. All you have to do is give your body the right nutrients, environment, movement, removal of toxins and avoidance of toxins. From these circumstances, the body naturally gravitates towards a state of balance (health). |

| Many cases of spontaneous remission seem to occur after someone makes a massive psychological shift, and re-creates a life that is engaging and purposeful. In these instances, the patient gets rid of the source of the psychological heartache72 and takes full responsibility for his illness and treatment.73 Some people, this would suggest, get ill because they lose all hope of life's ever being good—because they are thinking the wrong thoughts. These cases of spontaneous remission suggested to me that casual thoughts that run through our minds every day together become our life's intention. |
| Case after case of spontaneous remission describes people up against a major roadblock in their lives: unremitting stress, unresolved trauma, prolonged hostility, marked isolation, profound dissatisfaction, or quiet despair.70 Such cases often describe people who have lost their role as the protagonist in their own life drama.71

 Spontaneous mass diagnosis - The process of redefining health in order to instantly label as many consumers as possible with a fictitious disease. spontaneous mass diagnosis works by moving the goalposts that define a disease state. A "normal" level of LDL cholesterol used to be 130. Last year, a panel of corrupt medical decision makers with under-the-table financial ties to drug companies spontaneously decided that "normal" LDL cholesterol should be 100. Overnight, ten million more Americans were suddenly afflicted with the fictitious disease of high cholesterol. |

 At a later stage, pain, burning, and tingling sensations can radiate around the foot, and sufferers may experience spontaneous shooting pains. Mechanical problems with the feet include "over pronation," a condition that causes your arches to flatten out when you stand up. This condition is known as being flat-footed and causes your ankles to roll in towards each other, disturbing your normal walking pattern. Flat feet can be painful and may lead to neuroma. |

 The steadily increasing numbers of spontaneous reports of rhabdomyolysis associated with Baycol, along with the additional telephone activity, has overwhelmed the available safety assurance resources," they wrote in an internal memo.
The next month a group of Bayer's scientific relations staff met to talk about Baycol and a database the company had created to track the injuries. An unidentified executive scribbled notes of what transpired at that meeting on a copy of the typed agenda. |
| While buzz should always appear to be spontaneous," they wrote in 2002, "it should, in fact, be scientifically crafted and controlled as tightly as advertising in The New England Journal of Medicine."
Done in the right way, they explained, these events could generate conversations and excitement for a drug that increased demand for it "virtually overnight."
The "ultimate goal," they said, was for the company to "sell the consumer a message or product without the consumer even being aware that a 'self is taking place. |

 In animal experiments it had a spasmolytic effect, a possible CNS effect (sedative, anti-aggressive, reduction of spontaneous activity), and caused a reduction in the ulcer index. Its use as a stomachic seems plausible because of the amaroid content and the spasmolytic effect of the essential oil. Externally, it has a hyperemic effect. indications and usage
Unproven Uses: The drug is used in the form of teas, for dyspeptic disorders, gastritis and ulcers. It is used externally for rheumatism, gum disease and tonsillitis. |

| Convincing evidence of the biological basis of the regulation of body fat stores comes from the identification of more than 50 single-gene mutations and Mendelian syndromes that result in spontaneous massive obesity or in adipose tissue atrophy.

| An important component of the interindividual difference in response to overeating may be individual differences in spontaneous physical activity or "fidgeting" [12, 13]. A large portion of the variability in total daily energy expenditure, independent of lean body mass, is due to fidgeting, which varies by more the sevenfold among subjects [13], is a familial trait, and is a predictor of future weight gain [14].

| Compared to the general population, women with undiagnosed celiac disease have greater difficulty becoming pregnant [21] and a higher risk for spontaneous abortions [22, 23]. Men with undiagnosed celiac disease may also experience infertility due to gonadal dysfunction [24]. Adult patients with undiagnosed celiac disease may often undergo exhaustive and expensive infertility studies, without discovery of an etiology. |

| SYMPTOMS
TREATMENT GOAL
• Hyperactivity
• Difficulty concentrating
• Forgetfulness
• Clumsiness
• spontaneous behavior
• A need to be the center of attention
Only a child psychiatrist, an educational psychologist, or a pediatrician can diagnose ADHD. Treatment should involve behavior management, counseling or psychotherapy, special help at school, and possibly medication. |
| More serious ^^^^ traumas, or a tendency to develop spontaneous bruises, are best treated by an experienced homeopathic practitioner plus a conventional medical opinion. Also refer to the remedies recommended in Black Eye (p. 901).
Ruta: This remedy is particularly appropriate for treating the pain and discomfort that result from bruising the periosteum (the sheath-like membrane that covers the bones). This kind of injury is most likely to occur on an area of the body where the skin in very thin, such as the shins. |

 In 1960, the natural ectopic expression of phlobaphenes allowed Charles Burnham to identify a spontaneous dominant modifier of maize, which later became known as Unstable factor for orangel (Ufol) (Chopra et al, 2003). Ufol modifies the organ-specific expression of the Pl-wr allele and an enhanced pigmentation state of the tissue is correlated with decrease in DNA methylation of the Pl-wr sequence (Figure 6.2). The nature of the Ufol mutation is not known but it has now been mapped to maize chromosome 10S (Chopra et al, 2003). |

 The diagnosis requires the report of spontaneous or chewing-induced pain in the face, mouth, or ears plus tenderness in at least three different muscles with 3 pounds of pressure by the examiner.
My colleague Dr. Karen Raphael has done an epidemiological study of the overlap between FM and TMD. Using a computer to randomly select phone numbers, she identified 2,000 women who provided information over the telephone suggesting that they had either FM, TMD, or both disorders. The rates of FM she found in women were similar to those reported by other researchers: 4.1 percent. |

 The other option is the impulse dominated person who plunges in and tends to be far more spontaneous.
Because the imprint orchestrates a cascade of alterations, we can attack the problem with thyroid or any number of other medications, and they will all help. For example, adding any one of these ingredients to the deprived system may help feelings of depression and defeat. This is why giving thyroid to a depressive, or a drug that enhances the work of serotonin, often helps. But they are not cures. |

 The term menopause is derived from me no (month, menses) plus pausis (pause, cessation); in other words, it is a pause in menstruation. A spontaneous or natural menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation following the loss of ovarian activity and is strictly defined as the point after 12 consecutive months of no menses following the final menstrual period. The average age of menopause has been estimated to be between 50 and 52. In the Massachusetts Women's Health Study, the largest and most comprehensive study of middle-aged women, the median age for menopause was 51.3 years. |
| Nutrients such as folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 have been correlated with prevention of the more common pregnancy complications, such as spontaneous abortion, placental abruption, preterm delivery, low infant birth weight, and neural tube defects (such as spina bifida and anencephaly).8 Supplementation with calcium—the only mineral whose requirement doubles during pregnancy9— has been positively correlated with prevention of pregnancy hypertension,10 preeclampsia,11, 12 preterm delivery,13 and low birth weight,14 as well as puerperal psychosis (postpartum depression). |
