A significant area of confusion for patients seeking health renewal is understanding the meaning of the symptoms, which can accompany the beginning of a rejuvenation program. Failing to properly understand symptoms frequently makes the difference between the person who successfully completes a health building program and enjoys a renewal of health, versus one who abandons their efforts and continues on a downward spiral into greater disease.
After experiencing years of poor health, the person making positive changes that allow the body to increase its vitality must allow for a transitional period. Just as one does not develop chronic illness overnight, neither does one become well instantly either.
Our quick fix society has come to expect immediate relief from drugs, potions, pills, and other treatments obtained from physicians and pharmacies. Many drugs, herbal preparations, special 'energy' aids, tonics, etc. are promoted under the guise of 'instant relief'. Relief? Perhaps very briefly. This temporary relief frequently comes at a high price, paid for by a continued deterioration of health. Drugs, pills, and potions work primarily by stimulation and/or suppression of normal body functions all of which drain the body's energies. Those desiring health will want to make changes that improve the body's vitality and its ability to perform cellular rehabilitation without chasing after elusive cures that operate through stimulation and depression of the body's systems.
