The True Meaning Of Illness

Review:

 We have been culturally indoctrinated since decades to actually believe that pathogens (a.k.a. micro-organisms) attack us from the outside and therefor we must fight them.
At least this was the “winning” theory of Louis Pasteur which is known as “The Germ Theory” 
And although this theory is generally accepted and our current pharmaceutical  industry is still based upon this concept, it was already disputed in those days by Antoine Béchamp.
In sharp contrast with Pasteur, who was a materialist, Béchamp had a holistic view who saw that all life forms, including the micro-organisms, play a part in the whole and that even illness plays an important role in life and healthcare.

In this article by Mike Donkers, he zooms in to the work of Béchamp and others who support the holistic view over the materialistic view.
Although not mentioned explicitely, the article mentions the importance of the environment for good health and this is where it touches the concept of epigenetics and the work of Bruce Lipton.
Next to that, there is als a major overlap with the work of Joe Dispenza, since like Bruce Lipton, he teaches that our perception, our mind, determines a great deal of  our physical health.

Utolantis is also based upon the holistic worldview where we understand the importance of quality food as the foundation of good health and where all forms of life play a role in the whole, even if we do not (yet) understand what that role actually is.
Education with a strong focus on health and food is of coarse part of the curriculum.

The Article:

I no longer think in terms of illnesses, but illness. Singular, not plural. I have come to see illness as life itself: an infinite range of forms originating from one and the same primal source, which can also merge into each other.

This phenomenon is called pleomorphism, or multiformity , and is a principle of nature. Disease is like life, because it is part of life, just as death is part of life and forms an eternal circle in which energy is never lost, but is reused. Whoever understands life, also understands disease.

Pleomorphism
The concept of pleomorphism ( multiformity ) was developed by the French biologist Antoine Béchamp . Béchamp was the great opponent of Louis Pasteur , who claimed that pathogens attack us from outside and that it is therefore important that we kill them before they kill us. By seeing pathogens as external organisms, you create a war mentality , in which you adopt an anti-attitude and declare micro-organisms to be the enemy. This war mentality is reflected in our terminology. We ‘fight’ disease, ‘kill’ bacteria and a medicine is ‘antiviral’. Béchamp showed that this is not only a highly simplistic, but also a very unwise view. In a completely Pasteurian manner, he declared war on pathogens in his experiments and fought them with all possible means. He discovered under the microscope that micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites have the ability to biologically transmute, that is, to change form. As a result of the attacks that were made on them, a fungus, for example, changed into a parasite, a bacterium into a virus, and so on. They also started to cooperate. The fiercer the attack, the fiercer the reaction of these micro-organisms. In total,

Béchamp identified 16 different forms. The American Royal Rife later identified 4. I am convinced that the real number is infinite, because life finds its way anyway. An Italian ex-oncologist (he was dismissed) named Tullio Simoncini claims that cancer is a fungus. However, there are also viral forms of cancer and cancer has also been linked to parasites. My opinion is that cancer is all of these forms and more and that cancer therefore has a pleomorphic character. It is for this reason that cancer will spread after treatment with chemotherapy or radiation, a very ill-considered approach that is exclusively anti-disease and not pro-life.

Environment of the cells
Pathogens, micro-organisms are part of life. They are the primitive forms of life and fulfill a very complex function. Every form of cellular life on this earth shows a genetic relationship with each other. For example, humans have a genetic relationship with so-called pathogens. In fact, we are made up of bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites and other micro-organisms and they are part of our system. The same applies to plants and animals. Béchamp discovered that if he stopped fighting the microorganisms and instead improved what he called the ‘internal environment’ by working on the environment of the cells, these so-called ‘pathogens’ did not disappear but actually helped to repair the cells. So he did not focus on the disease, but on healing and the so-called pathogens did the same. However, if he concentrated on the disease and literally tried to fight it, the pathogens showed themselves to be the worst enemy. In this he showed that microorganisms are the building blocks of life, which have a precise relationship with both life and death and the intermediate stage, disease.

Béchamp showed that microorganisms are genetically coded to clean up weak organisms because they are no longer considered viable by nature. However, this process happens slowly and life provides each cell with the resilience to recover and become stronger. These same microorganisms then turn out to have the genetic code to help the cells remain viable. All this is not caused by the micro-organisms themselves, they only come into action if the environment of the cells changes.

In addition to cell degeneration , cell regeneration is also possible. However, the basis of our modern medicine has not become Béchamp ‘s theory , but that of Pasteur . The result is pasteurization, vaccination and medication, all based on keeping ‘intruders’ out. We are fighting ourselves with this, because declaring bacteria and other micro-organisms as enemies has brought us nothing but bad because we are actually placing ourselves outside of nature. By going against nature instead of cooperating with nature, we have created a wrong basis for current medicine. You are fighting against life and that is pure death energy. The result is only an increase in death and disease and extremely toxic medicines that are supposed to cure us of this. A disastrous path.

Life intelligence
Did you know that salmonella and E-coli were beneficial intestinal bacteria that, as a result of pasteurization, have become the deadly pathogens that they can be today? Did you know that if you drink unpasteurized raw organic milk from grass fed animals you are ingesting these bacteria again and are thereby naturally protecting yourself by making the bacteria your friends instead of your enemies? Did you know that natural, unprocessed milk has a synergy of bacteria, fats, proteins, sugars and other substances in which salmonella and E. coli play a beneficial role instead of the deadly pathogens we make them out to be? Do we really think that we can ‘win’ against these ancient forms of life that have existed on this earth for billions of years longer than we have? The power of nature, of life is always infinitely stronger and it is life threatening and downright arrogant to think that we are above it.

And now I am only talking about milk, but this applies to all natural, unprocessed foods. For example, natural, unrefined sea salt contains a mineral complex of no less than 84 minerals, including highly toxic elements such as mercury, aluminum, arsenic and lead. In isolation these elements are pathogenic and deadly, but in synergy with the 80 other minerals in natural sea salt they are not only harmless, but even necessary. Only nature has the intelligence to provide the right inhibitors that make this possible. Life works on the basis of complex wholes, never the isolates on which our reductionist and mechanistic science is based. Through our desperate attempts to ward off bacteria by means of antibiotics (literally: anti-life), we have even created super bacteria such as MRSA and staph bacteria in hospitals. As a result, the very places that should make us better become a true hotbed of deadly pathogens! Diseases that we thought we had ‘eradicated’ also return in a stronger form and there is no vaccine or medicine that can protect us against this. Unless we improve the environment of our cells, our immune system. That is where our future lies. Not in Pasteurian medication and vaccination.

There are countless examples to be found of the intelligence of life within ourselves and outside ourselves, which contradict Pasteurian thinking. For example, if fungi and viruses were truly the ruthless pathogens that destroyed everything in their path ( war thinking ), then we are dealing with cruel death squads that we must bomb flat before they paralyze our entire system. That is one attitude that science shows towards such micro-organisms. However, science does attribute a certain intelligence to them, because they appear to be so small that they ‘fool’ the immune system and smart enough to even lock themselves in a cell nucleus. In addition, some micro-organisms are able to survive in both an aerobic (oxygen-rich) and anaerobic (oxygen-poor) environment. If micro-organisms are able to survive in so many ways and fool the immune system, then the intelligence of our immune system is also poor. This is how we come up with names such as ‘autoimmune disease’. An immune system that attacks itself does not show much intelligence.

Or does that apply more to those who develop these theories? Isn’t it true that fungi and viruses are very intelligent, intelligent enough to selectively eliminate only those organisms that are too weak to survive? Isn’t it true that our immune system allows these micro-organisms to pass through and continue unhindered and that we should be very grateful to both our immune system and these ‘pathogens’, even though they can weaken us and eventually even kill us? Isn’t it a better idea to ask ourselves why these ‘pathogens’ are systematically eliminating us and to concentrate on improving those weak spots? Life wants to continue and shows enormous resilience. If you step into that power and give your body the substances to rebuild itself, it will immediately get going and start cell regeneration. Life is not a war, life is a dance. The word ‘universe’ stands for ‘one song’.

Some examples from nature of the intelligence of micro-organisms:
There are mushrooms (fungi) that grow on dead or half-dead tree trunks. Their job is to clear these tree trunks. If nature were really reckless, would she let those fungi grow in that exact spot in the forest? Wouldn’t the fungi in their destructiveness clear the entire forest? Have you ever thought about why that rose bush in your garden is eaten by aphids and the plant next to it isn’t? If insects were such gluttons, you wouldn’t have a garden left. You can choose to spray the aphids away with some chemical that kills everything in its path and that works in the short term. However, your rose won’t become healthier, on the contrary, because now it also has to process poison. Or you can concentrate not on the aphids but on the health of the plant by providing good nutrition to the roots and the soil in which the rose grows. You will see that in time the aphids will find another place to live and you will be rewarded with the most beautiful roses.

The same goes for your body. Nature always rewards you when you cooperate with her. The Japanese Teruo Higa has developed a synergistic compound of some 80 micro-organisms, including acids and fungi, based on fermentation, which he calls EM, Effective Micro-organisms. EM is successfully used in agriculture to enrich soil life, but it also appears to have water purifying properties and is also drinkable for people and is immune-promoting, especially for people with Crohn ‘s disease and other intestinal disorders. Interesting, isn’t it, when you consider that our intestines are our ‘soil’, our ‘roots’? Root vegetables and root herbs also appear to be very good for our liver and intestines. A healthy liver and intestines (soil, roots) promote healthy growth of the whole, again a direct parallel with nature.

Once again, a Frenchman is responsible for the insight that all our organs are in a complex, synergistic connection with each other, a process called homeostasis. The physiologist Claude Bernard developed the concept of homeostasis and focused in particular on the liver’s ability to process sugars. His conclusion was that our liver is not made to process a lot of sugars and that a high sugar intake inevitably leads to disease. He was a contemporary of Béchamp and together they formed the direct counterparts of Louis Pasteur . However, Pasteur ‘s simplistic and reductionist view prevailed over the holistic view of Béchamp and Bernard and formed the basis of modern medicine. And that while Pasteur on his deathbed agreed with Béchamp and Bernard because of the overwhelming nature of their evidence!

The sea and green plants
If micro-organisms are building blocks of life, then minerals certainly are too, because they were there even earlier. Nowhere on earth are there more minerals than in the sea and a healthy, unpolluted marine environment is therefore completely free of disease. Anyone who sees water only as water and not as a living intelligence is mistaken. Seawater appears to have the intelligence to create the perfect mineral composition from the supply that the sea receives from underground and above-ground volcanoes and minerals that wash back from land to sea through precipitation. Every sea appears to have more or less the same mineral composition and magnesium balls have been found on seabeds that are considered by the seawater to be redundant and therefore not part of the sea mineral complex. Seawater contains 92 elements identified by science and sea salt 84 identified elements, all in the perfect ratio and composition to each other. The actual number of elements may well be much higher.

The Frenchman René Quinton discovered at the end of the 19th century that seawater is 98% identical to blood and he therefore considered seawater to be a blood plasma. Quinton also believed that both the cause and the solution of disease was the environment of the cells and he devoted himself to purifying and cleansing the blood by means of seawater solutions. He wondered whether seawater could not be diluted and then used as blood. He developed a very strict protocol whereby seawater had to be obtained from over 50 kilometres off the coast and at a depth of 300 metres, transported to the coast in non-metallic vessels, cold filtered and diluted to an isotonic solution, with a salt content identical to that of blood (0.9%). This ‘sea plasma’ he then administered to sick stray dogs. He managed to patch up the stray dogs one by one and in one extreme experiment he replaced the entire blood of a dog with diluted seawater. The dog not only survived the experiment, but was given healthier blood than ever before and lived for a long time in perfect health. Quinton set up free clinics throughout France and cured people of the degenerative diseases of his time, such as tuberculosis and cholera, with seawater injections. In Africa he even successfully administered seawater infusions. By providing perfect blood, Quinton promoted cell regeneration and confirmed the theories of Béchamp and Bernard that it is the environment of the cells that counts and that all organs are connected by homeostasis.

These three Frenchmen proved that true health lies in the base, that is to say the liver, the intestines and the blood. The sea is the primordial soup of life. It covers 70% of the earth’s surface and in a healthy, unpolluted marine environment, plant and animal life is perfectly healthy and lives at least twice as long as life on the 30% of the land mass on which we live. We know that a mineral deficiency leads to acidification, which is the basis of all disease. Sea minerals alkalize and it is important that our blood has and maintains a slightly alkaline pH (acidity) of 7.4. Bernard concentrated on the liver and how it works together with the other organs. The liver is the central detoxification organ and is responsible for the quality of the blood, among other things. Quinton focused on purifying the blood. The sea is the basis of all life on this earth. By mixing blood with diluted seawater, the cells get back their original life information and energy. Béchamp discovered that micro-organisms can be both benign and malignant, depending on the degree of acidification to which the system is exposed. It is not without reason that so many degenerative and ‘autoimmune’ diseases are blood and organ diseases.

They were all concerned with the basis, the basis of all life that does not stop with us humans. I already mentioned EM ( Effective Microorganisms ), both as a natural agricultural method to enrich the soil and to enrich the human intestinal flora. Seawater dilutions also appear to be very effective in agriculture, as the ear, nose and throat specialist Maynard Murray discovered in 1936. In addition, seawater dilutions can also be drunk and thus form a perfect mineral complex for us humans.

The German biochemist Hans Fischer demonstrated that chlorophyll (leaf green) is 98% identical to hemoglobin, a protein that is responsible for the production of red blood cells and the transport of oxygen through the blood. Interestingly enough, that number 98% comes up again. Quinton demonstrated that seawater was 98% identical to blood. Both seawater and chlorophyll must therefore be considered as blood plasmas. That is not really strange when you realize that chlorophyll is the product of photosynthesis (the interaction between sunlight and water) and that this first took place in the sea. Photosynthesis led to green, single-celled organisms and these washed up on land to form the basis for plant life.

Since humans and animals are genetically related to the sea and green plants, it cannot be otherwise than that humans and animals evolved from sea and plant life. The discussion of whether or not we descend from homo sapiens or another species is irrelevant if you go much further back in evolution. What does matter is that sea minerals and green plants contain DNA and RNA information that is recognized by our cells. Green plants and sea minerals are alkaline and counteract acidification and disease. Both seawater and green plants are built around the mineral magnesium and magnesium is the miracle mineral that promotes relaxation and health instead of contraction and acidification. Magnesium is the mineral of life. What covers our earth? 70% is seawater and green plants cover the 30% of the land on which we live. The earth gives it to us on a silver platter: eat healthy green plants and drink healthy seawater, the supply is infinite. In short, alkalize and mineralize yourself for a long and healthy life without disease.

Disease as a teacher
Love is the healing power of nature. We define unconditional love as giving without taking. This is the power of nature: she gives without ever taking anything back. Don’t let anyone tell you about the ‘punishment of nature’ or similar doom-mongering. Only by giving to yourself and loving yourself including your disease and concentrating on your own soil and roots, the environment of the cells, are you able to truly heal. By seeing yourself as separate from your disease and hating your disease and declaring war, you hate that part of yourself that you don’t like and you wage war against yourself. In doing so, you go against the universal love power of nature, ultimately resulting in death.

Disease is life and death at the same time and we can make a choice every day whether we are occupied with negative, disease-causing death energy or positive, life-creating energy. Illness offers us a unique opportunity to reflect on what we are doing and to make the necessary changes regarding nutrition, but also on the emotional, energetic and spiritual level. It is about the total picture, because good nutrition alone will not get you there. If you block energetically, all those good nutrients will not come in or will not come in sufficiently. Illness is a teacher. If you learn the lesson well, you will learn to find love in yourself and others and you will stand in the (giving) power of nature. If you do not learn the lesson well, the illness will kill you and you will have to try again in a next life.

This is that lesson:
Real growth starts at the bottom and goes from the bottom up. I have already emphasized the importance of a healthy liver and intestines, because your liver is the central detoxification organ and your intestines are the central excretory organ. Both transport toxins out of your body, provided they are working well and are not poisoned themselves. This also applies to our thinking and feeling.

Claude Bernard already showed that our organs work together and therefore have their own intelligence. The only intelligence that we value in our society is academic intelligence, the intelligence of the thinking brain, the ratio. We attach a lot of status to this in the form of money and other material things, all things from outside ourselves. A lot of energy therefore goes upwards, to our head. As a result, we are stuck in our thinking. Our thinking is amoral, or in other words, rationally speaking, we are able to think right with an infinite number of arguments that are wrong. Some of these arguments are in our history books. For example, the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were ‘necessary because they ended the war and saved a lot of bloodshed’. However, anyone with a heart cannot say this without blushing. The atomic bomb had to show what enormous destruction was possible. A disgrace to humanity!

Our thinking colonizes our heart. As a result, we learn to feel less and less. This makes us sit with all kinds of feelings that we cannot process. Translated to our organs, the energy flows from top to bottom: from the head to the heart to the intestines. That is exactly the opposite order.

All healing processes go from top to bottom and from the inside out! Have you ever seen a flower, plant or tree grow from top to bottom? Also think about the order of our food: we digest it in our intestines, then it is transported via our blood to our heart, which pumps the blood around, and only last does it reach our head. Isn’t it interesting to see that our body does not give priority to our head and our extremities (extremities of the body) when it comes to transporting blood, but rather gives priority to the vital organs that are located in the abdominal and chest cavity? If our body serves our intestines and our heart first and our head last, why don’t we follow this order? Instead, we are stuck in our thinking, which prevents us from forming or not forming enough feelings about our experiences and certainly not digesting them. The correct order is: first let it work on you, then form feelings about it and finally create thoughts about it.

Being stuck in our heads is the number one disease in our Western world and it is not without reason that we suffer en masse from depression, heart and intestinal complaints. You can free yourself from this today by doing things differently from now on. The closer you get to nature, the closer you get to your own nature. Illness reminds you that you are alienated from your nature. This is the real meaning of disease .
