Symptoms: For Better or Worse?

My patients generally come to see me with the desire to eradicate some symptom or other. Whether it is allergies, a cancer tumor, autism, etc., their sole goal is to get the noise of suffering to cease and desist. At this early juncture in Heilkünst Treatment, I will ask them, “What is your definition of health?” They usually have to think about it for a minute or two and will come back with a version similar to, “an absence of symptoms.” So I then ask them, “If George Bush jogs every day, eats well, and has no symptoms, would you describe him as a healthy person?” … usually there is silence at this point.

Dr. Samual Hahnmann defined health in his Organon of The Medical Art as, “In the healthy human state, the spirit-like life force (autocracy) that enlivens the material organism as dynamis, governs without restriction and keeps all parts of the organism in admirable, harmonious, vital operation, as regards to both feelings and functions, so that our indwelling, rational spirit can freely avail itself of this living, healthy instrument for the higher purposes of our existence.” Wilhelm Reich described health as being “orgastically potent” in all ways, including in the boudoir.

The thing is that a well-trained Physician will generally know how to cause more symptoms than less, especially in the short-term. For example, I had a 3 year old autistic boy start Heilkünst treatment. One week later I got a phone call that he was having his first high, spiked, fever complete with glassy eyes, red shining face and ears, and slight delirium. Two days later he spoke his first word, “Dora”, while watching Dora, The Explorer. It was interesting to me that Reich referred to Deadly Orgone Energy as , “DOR,” which is what is in the allopathic vaccines. Fever functions to download a “healthy ego” by building the auto-immune system.

I had a fellow with Cancer report to me that his five aggressive tumors actually increased in volume, lost their shape and drained green and yellow pus for days after starting Heilkünst treatment. I can’t tell you how excited I was to hear this. Three out of the four tumors were gone within in the first three weeks of his initial consultation. He tells me his business is picking up. He was considered in Palliative Care. Heilkunst follows the direction of cure based on Hering’s Law, “from the inside out.”

I had another woman tell me how she was feeling “worse” this month. When I asked her to define “worse,” she said, “I’m angry all the time, I’m yelling at my husband, my children, even my boss at work.” Prior, she suffered chronic throat and TMJ (Tempero-mandibular joint) issues, suffering her frustration in silence, not speaking her truth, rarely asking for what she needed. Narayan Singh in his book Messages From The Body says TMJ results from, “… intensely repressed and suppressed rage at their situation which they dare not express.” Her jaw pain is gone. Heilkünst doesn’t moralize whether she is better or worse, but the phenomena are understood, and we repeat these results daily.

Further into Heilkünst treatment, I will often hear patients saying things like, “I’ve left my high tech position to be a birthing coach full time,” or “my marriage isn’t serving me any longer, I need to get out,” or “I’ve begun making healthy cookies and selling them to other Moms for their kids’ lunches,” or “I need to move to the mountains as I don’t resonate with the flat, cold climate of Ottawa.” Often when I ask these individuals about their initial symptoms, they’ve completely forgot about them (sometimes they are gone and sometimes not) but their relationship to them has wholly shifted. They’re getting on with the “higher purposes of their existence” by following the direction of cure, “from the inside out.” And that is no red Herring! Hering get it? Mmmmm … ok maybe not.
