Am I "Sick" or Am I Healing?

Changing perspectives of symptoms with German New Medicine

Am I sick?

Thursday morning I woke up with a very sore throat. I have not had such a sore throat in over a decade, but it’s been likely much longer than that. I truly do not remember the last time that I had such an awful sore throat. Every single time I swallowed it hurt like hell. At 3:30 am I thought to myself, “I cannot sleep like this. I can’t work like this. I’m going to have to call in sick,” which meant I had to ask a co-worker to take my place which I hated to do. Come Friday, I had to do it again, and I could tell that wasn’t expected. I don’t usually “get sick.” But was I sick?

I know my first thought was to complain that I was “sick.” I clearly had what we call a bad cold¹. We’ve been given this understanding throughout all of our films, TV shows, books, schooling, peers, neighbors, family, etc. Everyone wants to blame germs and viruses for attacking our bodies and making us sick. If you follow my other Substack, The Drama of It All, I think you can catch my drift here. We view illnesses as “persecutors” and think of ourselves as “victims” when we get “attacked” by them. People then start looking around at where they were and who gave them this illness. They look for another persecutor to be pissed at. That’s not me.

Changing Perspectives to German New Medicine

I was sleep deprived and pissed, so I wasn’t thinking clearly at first and said I was sick. But I thought about how every time (since understanding the law of attraction and reframing things) that I have come up with some symptom I would look it up using the key phrase “German New Medicine.” So I did. This video is from

Dr. Melissa Sell

. She talks about German New Medicine’s understanding of why we get the common cold.

Sidenote: Hypothyroidism

I made a video on hypothyroidism and German New Medicine a while back. Since then I have actually done the “impossible” and am no longer considered to have “hypothyroidism” any longer. Is becoming aware of the issues part of the healing? Maybe.

I Manifested a Cold to Heal

After watching the video on the cold, I realized that it fit my situation exactly. The German New Medicine view is that we are shocked by some events in our lives and after the initial shock the body switches over to healing itself. The symptoms are from the body healing, not germs or viruses attacking you. I wrote about GNM a while back here with an example story from Dr. Melissa Sell. If you’re interested, you should watch that video, Questioning the Dominant Paradigm.

This Stinks

I’m going to explain my situation so you can see how this works in a real-life example and I will say for certainty that I didn’t get sick by texting my sick brother 4 hours away from me…
