Mind Over Symptom

Would you like to know how to use the Germanic New Medicine to go beyond illness in order to actually have success in every area of your life? And are you tired of personal development strategies that just don't stick?  This episode dives deep into why achieving your goals can feel like an uphill battle. It explores the self-devaluation stories and other biological conflicts that shape our reality. Discover the surprising connection between your deepest desires and the special biological programs you develop, and learn how Germanic New Medicine's fifth biological law can offer a revolutionary perspective on attaining your deepest desires. Uncover the paradox: Your desire to achieve is at the heart of your struggles. Explore the "MindTree": your incomplete special biological programs are creating the beliefs and defense mechanisms that are giving structure to your experience. Victimhood decision: Radical honesty is key. Admitting what you really want gives you relief from your suffering. Instead of chasing

"Incurable Symptoms" Those of us who care about health are pretty good at handling an occasional sniffle or muscle spasm or other temporary illness. But what about those symptoms that we get that we never find out the cause of …or cure for. We go from one specialist to another, we try various “out of the box” alternative health solutions. But for too many of us, too often, and even too soon …we begin to accept that the symptom is just part of how our life is going to be from now on. The reason we give up on overcoming illnesses and instead just start living with the symptom permanently is that modern medicine today rests on a set of “proven facts.” Scientifically-proven facts like the Germ Theory of Disease, or the concept of the so-called “selfish gene.” Why go looking for a cure for MS when it’s a medical “fact” that this condition is incurable? I’ll tell you why. Because it’s NOT a proven fact. There’s no such thing as a proven fact! (Scientific or otherwise) But not understanding this, conventional medica

The Thing About Unsolvable Problems... Everyone, sooner or later, gets stuck with a chronic, repeating, or “incurable” health condition for which there is no known cure. (And incurable symptoms happen not just in our bodies but in other aspects of our lives as well) Underlying any condition that we believe we've "tried everything" to fix is not an incurable condition but another, deeper belief. That's a belief in the status quo. A belief that your outcome - your current state - is a result of statistics. A belief that you are a statistic. How can you know that this is the case? Because you and I live in a society that dismisses the outliers for being "abnormal" and irrelevant. Outliers like the 10% (or more) of lung cancer patients who survive and recover. The people with Down syndrome who have above-average IQ's. The women who have remained fertile into their 50's. These kinds of anomalies are thought to be the exceptions that "prove" the rules. You're not encouraged to try to be one of these (because that w

Getting the Sleep You Need Insomnia is when you can't fall asleep ("nighttime insomnia") or you can’t stay asleep ("morning insomnia"). Acute insomnia is when you're having trouble sleeping due to a recent traumatic shock experience (stress). Chronic insomnia is when you have trouble sleeping more than twice a week for more than 3 months Insomnia isn't when you can't sleep because you keep getting woken up. It's when you can't sleep even if you get rid of all distractions, like light, noise, stimulants and sedatives, heavy meals, uncomfortable bed, poor routine/schedule/habits, discomfort from pain or restless leg syndrome or apnea, and all the other things we blame for our sleeplessness. So insomnia is when you can't fall asleep or stay asleep during the time when you should be sleeping. The result of not getting the sleep you need is fatigue, low energy, difficulty concentrating, mood disturbances, and decreased performance in work or at school. You might start to feel anxiousness, dread, or panic at just t

Modern medicine is absolutely brilliant at saving your life when you’ve got a gross anatomical problem, like injury, poisoning, or malnutrition. Or in the healing phase and especially the healing crisis after you resolve a major biological conflict. But conventional and even most alternative treatment regimens do not resolve symptoms for organically-generating diseases that aren't a result of injury, poisoning, or malnutrition. Diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, AIDS, stroke …or even the common cold. As a result, organically-generating symptoms are almost always incurable. At least with conventional treatment. But we’re very attached to our treatments. We’re so attached to the idea of “fighting” the symptom that we actually try even harder …but doing the wrong thing. The reason why this philosophy of treating symptoms does not cure our illnesses is that organically-generating symptoms are a result of a traumatic stress experience. The symptom is your body’s attempt to resolve that traumatic stres

What Are You Fighting With or Fleeing From? It's been almost a century since Charles Banting's discovery that high blood sugar (diabetes mellitus) has to do with the production of insulin by islet cells located in your pancreas. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is to this day rarely even diagnosed as a medical condition, and when it is, it's usually thought to be a consequence of incorrect use of diabetes medication. Diabetes makes you feel heavy, slow. Hypoglycemia makes you feel shaky, restless, hungry. If blood sugar goes high for too long (diabetes), ketoacidosis, which is slow poisoning from metabolic waste products, will make you increasingly ill. If blood sugar goes too low (hypoglycemia), death occurs within hours. Your brain simply cannot keep functioning without adequate energy supply. Medically, diabetes is controlled either by controlling sugar intake (dietary restrictions) or by taking medically-prescribed insulin (or both). Hypoglycemia, much more dangerous than diabetes but rarely diagnosed exc

AIDS was a terrifying new disease that first appeared in 1981, and then exploded into a global epidemic that killed its victims very rapidly. A cure and vaccine have not yet been found. Health care professionals quickly pinpointed a retrovirus called "Human Immunodeficiency Virus" and the American Food and Drug Administration approved a blood test to identify the presence of the virus. Then AZT, a chemotherapy drug designed in the 1960's, was approved as a treatment to try to prevent HIV from developing into AIDS. Unfortunately, the drug was very expensive. And it produced harsh health effects of its own. Fortunately, the illness began to decline in most areas of the world by the mid-90's ...however, sub-Saharan Africa still lists AIDS as its number one killer. This makes AIDS the 4th leading cause of death worldwide and it's still an enormous health emergency. The solution is elusive, because HIV is elusive. The virus has never been isolated. The HIV test only measures antibodies against proteins which are b

Non-Ischaemic Heart Disease Non-ischaemic heart disease, unlike ischaemic heart disease, actually affects the heart. This group of symptoms is called  cardiomyopathy (literally, "illness of heart muscle"),  heart failure (meaning, "failure of the heart to do what it should, or do it very well"), and valve problems/valvular disease (which includes the diagnosis of rheumatic fever) Cardiomyopathy usually also includes  pericarditis or pericardial effusion. These symptoms affect the pericardium, which is actually the protective sac that surrounds the heart, and isn't part of the heart itself. Prevention of Cardiomyopathy Both our prevailing understanding of how the heart works and our belief about what causes cardiomyopathy are based on the underlying assumption that the heart is a pump. Its job is to push oxygenated blood around your body at a rate of about 5 litres per minute. This essentially mechanical device is like an engine, but instead of about 300,000 kilometres in it, the heart's got about 2.5 bil

The World Health Organization lists COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) as the #3 killer worldwide,lower respiratory infections at #4, and cancer of trachea, bronchus, lung collectively at #5 cause of deaths worldwide. That is, the #3, #4, and #5 causes of human death around the planet all have to do with the respiratory tract. (Ischaemic heart disease and stroke are #1 and #2) If you put these three sets of symptoms together - that is, COPD, lower respiratory infections, and cancer of the trachea, bronchus and lung - and then you add in the several more respiratory symptoms that aren't listed in these three categories ...well, respiratory illness is clearly the number one killer on the planet. What's not clear is why the particular symptoms form, why respiratory illness affects different people differently in different parts of the world ...or what to do about respiratory illness. What most health practitioners don’t know (because it's a very new discovery), is that health symptoms that affect the r

Stroke is the #2 killer worldwide. And conventional health care has no practical way of predicting why a stroke happens or who is at risk. But there is an answer ...a simple, elegant solution designed by Nature itself.

Despite amazing medical technology to help repair your body after a heart attack ...the medical profession is still pretty much stumbling around on the subject of how to prevent or overcome it. In fact, even recognizing that ischaemic heart disease is happening at all is out of the question for over half of those who have the disease ...because when it's a serious case, the first symptom is dropping dead. A coronary attack comes when you least expect it, usually when you're feeling fine. The reason this kind of heart disease is so difficult to spot with conventional means is that most health models see the heart as a mechanical pump. In this context, coronary artery disease is a result of cholesterol accumulating in the coronary arteries, gumming them up, then blocking one or more artery, causing deprivation of oxygen and nutrients to that area of the heart muscle supplied by that artery. So then it seems like this kind of heart "attack" is a result of death or damage to that area of heart tissue, and this st

Before I learned the "mind-body code," I had no idea where to start to address my developing health problems. When I tried to take charge of my health, I felt overwhelmed by possibilities. And like I was a million miles behind everyone else. I also felt downright scared, because I'd misunderstood my doctor. I thought he told me that my symptoms were a result of cancer caused by "bad genes." One thing most people I talked to agreed on: everyone's body develops symptoms. But why? No reason. Illness is meaningless. A result of statistics, maybe, or aging. Wear and tear? So many things can go wrong with our fragile physical forms. We can do all the “right” things - diet, exercise, positive thinking, being a nice person... But if we don't understand how our bodies work, we'll get sick anyway. There's just no correlation between being a good person and having a better or a longer life Most of us - including health professionals - don't understand the "mind-body code." So most of the things we're supposed to do to b

When you’re trying out different treatments to get rid of a persistent health symptom, it can feel like you’re a human guinea pig. Trying different treatments is stressful. So's having a symptom you can't get rid of. But most stressful of all is the unresolved trauma that’s actually CAUSING your symptom. The majority of both conventional AND alternative treatment systems keep trying different outside-in combinations from their limited toolkits in the hope of finding cures for symptoms by a process of elimination. This can get expensive in both money and time. But more importantly: for organic illnesses (that is, symptoms that arise in your body without an obvious cause in the form of injury, poisoning, or malnutrition) …this treatment approach just doesn’t work.   Virtually none of the top illnesses are curable through conventional or most alternative methods. (TREATABLE, maybe ...CURABLE, no) The reason why outside-in treatment doesn't work is because the dominant health-care model is based on a paradigm of

If you don’t know how your car works, then you live at the mercy of the auto mechanic. The dashboard lights come on or your car makes a funny sound, and all you can do is fork over your money. Hopefully, that car will get you to work tomorrow. (So you can earn more money to pay for your next car repair) But what if you knew the basics of how your car works? What if you could figure out why it's making that squeak or jiggle or weird smell? If you knew a bit about how your car works, then you could go to the parts store and fix the problem yourself. You'd recognize problems and correct them before they become serious. You could extend the life of your car by years! It’s exactly the same with your body. The predominant model of health care today is a reactionary "blame care" model. It doesn't help us find the real solution to health symptoms. In fact, the medical system is the #3 cause of death in North America! Most health care approaches today look for something wrong with your body. Then they try to patch you

Nature makes no mistakes. God does not play dice! Instead, every symptom is your body’s appropriate response to traumatic stress, according to five natural laws of healing discovered by cancer doctor, Dr. R.G. Hamer in the early 1980’s. When you know the real cause of your symptom, you’ve got the power to resolve it at its source. The Mind Over Symptom Podcast with Lishui Springford shows you the science of the “mind-body connection.” Listen weekly to uncover the real reason - and potential cure - for every symptom from AIDS to Alzheimer’s, from bipolar disorder to bulimia, and from the common cold to cancer. Episode One - "Radical Self-Healing" - explains the difference between science and technology and why self-care instead of "blame-care" is turning health statistics completely upside down.  Episode Two - "The 5 (Unbreakable) Natural Laws of Healing" - reveals a 5-point pattern discovered by a cancer doctor in the early 1980's that now allows thousands of people around the world to cure even "incurable" i
