This system can detect when a part of the system is out of alignment in some way. It seeks to remove damaged aspects of the body and return the body to normalcy. In most cases, the system runs like clockwork. The potential effects of toxins in the environment are diffused. Physical wounds heal.
Colds run their course.
There are also times when it is useful to enhance our healing system through the technology of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. During an NLP health applications workshop, trainer Tim Hallbom described a personal experience when he had fallen one day. The fall resulted in considerable swelling and a large hematoma on his thigh, along with a great deal of pain. As a result, he was able to greatly reduce his discomfort and swelling. By that evening, the hematoma had diminished to a much lesser size.
