Common Sense Health Part #4:
Visible Injuries: How to Heal them
and How to Avoid Them . . .
What is the ONLY thing That “cures” or “heals” your body if it is damaged? NATURE cures you. Your own body’s healing power cures you. THAT’s IT!!!!
Think about this for a moment . . . Have you ever seen someone with HUGE scars on their body? Or maybe have some pretty big ones yourself? Or marvelled at how the body recovers after some major surgery?
What happens when you cut your finger?? Or if you have a huge open wound and blood is pouring out because you accidentally stabbed yourself or tore your skin open on a jagged piece of metal you didn’t see sticking out of a wall. How do you “cure” or “heal” that?
Do you immediately take some new ‘miracle’ drug
invented by the medical business? Do you get
injected by some amazing vaccine to heal it? Do
you immediately start taking some vitamin or tea from a plant found deep in the amazon jungle? Or drink gallons of some super organic carrot and green juice to stop the bleeding and close the wound? NO, you don’t. Well you may, but they won’t help you much and I think if someone suggested that, you’d just laugh at them . . . So, what do you do?
#1. Well the first thing you have to do, is to STOP the bleeding!!! Which is the immediate danger to your body. Dying from loss of blood. How do you do that? You place something over the wound and try to close the wound up so that the blood flow will stop. It’s a kind of instinctive thing to do. Even if you have read NO books, or had any medical or health training at all.
#2. Once you stop the immediate danger, the second thing you have to do, is to try to keep the exposed wound clean to prevent infection. Healthy skin is a protective organ that stops most normal infections and bacteria from entering your body from the outside world. Now that it’s broken that protection
A doctor may have stapled the skin close, but it’s the body’s own healing powers that heals the scar and closes the wound
