How Can I Be Sick and Not Have Any Symptoms?
Your definition about health might be incomplete. Just because you don’t feel
sick or have any symptoms doesn’t necessarily mean you are healthy. How many
times have you heard of a person who died suddenly of a heart attack? His/her
family members are shocked. “He was always so healthy”, they say. Was he?
If he was healthy with a strong and healthy heart and a good nerve supply,
would he have had a heart attack and died? Usually, in such cases, the person
is not healthy – just healthy looking.
Most bodily functions go on all the time without you ever being aware of them.
You normally aren’t conscious of when your organs are working correctly and
you may not know it when they aren’t – until it’s too late. Remember when
you first learned, back in grade school, the Earth was spinning around at
an incredible speed? If you were like most kids, you went out into the schoolyard
and stood still and tried to feel the Earth spinning. How could it possibly
be happening if you didn’t feel it? Of course the scientific evidence was
so overwhelming that there could be no room for doubt that this unbelievable
phenomenon was true.
None of us today, as adults, doubt for a second that the Earth is spinning – even if we can’t feel it underfoot. Yet, we have trouble believing interference in our nervous system can cause health problems in the rest of the body, or that we can be very unhealthy and not show any symptoms – despite the overwhelming evidence.
