I have a cold am I really sick?

Being sick maybe a "good" sign for being healthy. I know that sounds odd but to me for the body to eliminate toxins is a healthy thing. You see having a cold or having the flu is a away for your body to eliminate "bugs" that could actually make you sick. I really don't want my body to keep those bugs even for a short period of time. So when my body goes into the "defense" mode I am very happy even though I don't feel good.

As a matter of fact I do not take medications to stop the symptoms of a cold or flu. The medications suppress the symptoms but the body must deal with the medication. Often times,the cold or flu will seemingly stop when taking the medications but will arise again once the body has eliminated the medications. Remember the medications can always be taken, give your body a chance to heal naturally.

The body is the "healer" within. If I scratch myself and put a band-aid on I know its not the band-aid that heals it's the body! Yet, I must do everything I can to take care of my body that takes care of me. Eat right, exercise, think right and receive regular chiropractic adjustments.
I will go into that on another blog. For now, if you get sick it maybe that you are healthier than you think.

Thanks Kris, health is continuous as you know. If we stop will not maintain our wellness. The future is far brighter when we are healthy!
