#3. Mental or Spiritual Trauma or Injury: A Stamford University study concluded that up to 85% of all illness is stress related. There is some underlying emotional reason for why people eat junk food, drink too much, or simply want to unconsciously not live anymore because of something that has happened in their lives.
I am sure you have heard about the ‘power of the mind’. Or the ‘placebo’ effect. Or the principles of ‘karma.’ Or you may have heard the saying “as you sow – so shall you reap” Or the aboriginal ritual of “pointing the bone”?
There are countless books written about this. And we don’t have ‘mental’ hospitals, institutions and jails for no reason. Your mind rules your body and you, whether you know and believe this or not. Depression, sadness, despair, hopelessness and helplessness can affect your life and even kill, you just as any physical injury can. Some even say it’s worse, because the mental injury scars are sometimes harder to heal than the physical ones.
The death of a parent, child or a loved one can cause the most severe of these. Divorce or emotional abuse by your partner or someone in authority will do it. The medical business is great at making you feel guilty. “If you don’t do this or that, you are a bad parent. Your child could
DIE. You could die, or are going to DIE if you don’t go for our cancer surgery. You MUST follow our treatment it’s the ONLY one that works (This is almost NEVER true, there are always alternatives)
The most powerful one is . . . “If you don’t do this (vaccinate, give this drug or that treatment) then you are a BAD parent who is risking their children’s health. What they are also saying, is that you are a STUPID parent and your concerns and any
questions about effectiveness and side effects and risks are not real. They are the ONLY business that has the answers. This is very rarely, if ever, true by the way. What they DO have is a BUSINESS that relies on selling you as much of THEIR products or treatments as possible to make money.
