The Science of Healing
Healing can take many forms and operate on many levels; mental, emotional, physical and yes even spiritual and ancestral. These are often entwined. In the allopathic world they are considered separate or in the case of spiritual, not considered at all. In the holistic world, potentially everything is connected. There is still scientific debate around germ theory vs terrain theory. For example if you have a sick fish in a filthy tank, the first thing you would do is clean the tank and replace the water – that’s terrain theory. Germ theory states that small organisms called germs could invade the body and cause disease. Both can be true. If the bodily ‘environment’ is healthy enough and the inner terrain is working optimally, then it would be more difficult for germs and disease to take hold.
We can help the body heal itself by understanding how it works, removing any barriers to healing, giving it the nutrients, time and best environment to heal. Frequencies help create a healthy environment so the body can work its magic. If we are working on a chronic or systemic (syst) issue, Dr Hering says it takes about one month for every year the symptoms have been present to see results. More acute/recent (within a month) issues, in my experience, seem to disappear in 1-14 days. This will be different for each person and condition. To see changes to chronic conditions, programs may need to be run for months.
Dr Constantine Hering is the father of American Homeopathy and Propounding Hering’s Law of Cure. This is a standard tool used to assess whether a patient’s condition is improving or deteriorating.
Hering’s Law of Cure – Dr. C. Hering
- Symptoms of a chronic disease disappear in definite order, going in reverse and taking about one month for every year the symptoms have been present.
- Symptoms move from the more vital organs to the less vital organs; from the interior of the body towards the skin.
- Symptoms move from the top of the body downward.
Hering’s Law of Cure is the basis of all healing
This is the way the body heals or cures itself.
“All cure starts from within out, from the head down and in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared or been suppressed”.
“We don’t catch diseases, we create them by breaking down the natural defenses according to the way we eat, drink, think and live”. Hering’s Law is a very important law to understand and remember. It is imperative to follow this law in order to allow the body to eliminate toxins created daily.

The definition of Hering’s Law of Cure is as follows:
“We heal from the head down”. This means that before we can even begin to heal we must believe we can heal. We must be mentally prepared and strong in order to allow the body to heal. Do not doubt the body’s ability to heal itself.
“We heal from within out”. This means we must allow the body to cleanse. In order for the body to eliminate toxins it must be allowed to do so by not suppressing any kind of discharge.
Most over-the-counter medications and prescriptions do suppress discharges. This is not good as these toxins can go deeper into the body and create other weaknesses. The body must be allowed to cleanse itself in whatever manner it needs to without interruption by synthetic suppressive substances.
“We heal in reverse order as the symptoms have appeared or been suppressed”. This means that most of the time the last problem someone has is the first problem to be dealt with by the body in the reversal process.
For instance, let’s say the last illness you had was a sinus infection and a suppressive medication was used to stop any sneezing, coughing, dripping nose or sinus drainage.
In order for the body to heal itself it must eliminate these toxins and mucous that were suppressed at this time. Since this was the last illness it is the easiest for the body to heal.
Toxins
The body may stimulate the Immune System to create a fever to burn out the toxins. The toxins may be eliminated through the Lungs or Bronchioles causing a large amount of phlegm to exit these areas. It might eliminate them through the skin causing breakouts or it could eliminate them through the Colon. The colon eliminates mucous, old feces and food that hasn’t been eaten for quite a while. These are just a few ways the body heals itself.
Unfortunately, Hering’s Law of Cure is not used today in Orthodox medicine. Orthodox medicine generally believes that because the symptoms are suppressed the problem is cured, or by removing the organ, which is not functioning correctly, it can cure the problem.
Perhaps this is why no one knows what a “Cold” is today. A “Cold” is the body’s way of eliminating toxins, which it does by increasing the mucous from the mucous membranes in order to free the toxins. Toxin elimination is imperative in order for the body to stay healthy. Disease reversal is also imperative in order for the body to “cure” a disease.
My healing experience
From my experience if you can uncover the root cause/s rather than treating symptoms then the healing will likely be quicker eg. emotional work. However it can take time to work out the root cause. Sometimes there are a cluster of accumulated causes which is like a can of worms. Anything you can do to reduce the toxic load to the body, mind, emotions, spirit and environment by eating clean organic food, drinking clean (non fluoridated and chlorinated) water, breathe clean air, remove mould, heavy metals, parasites, toxic people, chemicals, hormone disruptors, plastics, alcohol, cigarettes, emotional baggage, excess exercise etc will help. A well as stopping stressors, you may need to add to your life and give the body what it needs to heal itself, which may mean supplements, counselling, journalling, meditating, exercise, forgiveness, belief changes, mindfulness, healthy boundaries, detox, weight loss, holiday, reducing stress, putting your self care first etc.
