Change is a fundamental part of this kind of treatment. Holistic medicine is ineffective
if it is not changed throughout treatment. What makes a person feel better in the 
beginning stages of treatment will no longer work as treatment continues. Contrary
to the beliefs of many, it is not because it stopped working, but, rather because the
changes it was meant to have on the body’s imbalances have taken place and the step
needs to be taken. Where the problem comes in, is that understandably, the person
who is being treated becomes accustomed to his or her regimen that has been working
for him or her and is inclined to be fearful of change. One must try and trust and take
that next step. This goes for food, supplements, activity, and even sex! It is so hard
to trust in one’s body, in a process, but change is fundamental to treatment.
The issues with trust with this condition are many fold, and lack of trust is typically
developed early in childhood. However, it becomes compounded with the lack of
understanding that one experiences in the quest towards finding ways to deal with
this condition. There is often a lack of understanding from family, friends, and
doctors. More than anything, there is a loss of trust in one’s self, in one’s body.
this is a part of what is so important to recover. It is a part of the process that
not only effects a person physically, but mentally, and somewhere along the way those
two things merge. So, today, think about this, and how it may be effecting you.
Think about learning to put a step forward towards trusting yourself and your choices in
life, and in the treatment of this condition.
