好轉反應的「現象」：
Phenomena of the Healing Crisis: “Massive Detoxification”
「大量排毒」的現象
西洋醫學鼻袓 西帕克拉底斯說：「人體的體液、血液必須調和後才能無病，而須將體內的痰、咳、汗、大便、膿等這些分泌物排出體外，身體才能產生調和，病才可以痊癒。當產生這些自覺症狀時，就是邁向自然調和的現象，絕不可因為排出這些汙物，感到非常痛苦而以為病情加重便橫加阻止，如此將使身體永遠無法調和，使疾病纏綿不癒。」而痰、咳、膿，甚至是小兒痲疹、水痘、發高燒、上吐下瀉、痔瘡排血、青春痘、富貴手、香港腳、癬、狐臭、生瘡以及皮膚病等，都和人體產生的汗、尿、大便一樣，是人體邁向調和的自然排毒現象。倘若這些毒素不予排除，人體是絕不可能恢復健康的。
The father of Western medicine, Hippocrates, once said:
“The body’s fluids and blood must be brought into harmony for health to be restored. In order to achieve this, substances such as phlegm, mucus, sweat, stool, and pus must be expelled from the body. Only through this purification can the body regain balance and healing occur.”
When these self-perceived symptoms arise, it is a sign that the body is moving toward natural balance.
One should never attempt to suppress these processes out of discomfort, mistakenly thinking the illness is worsening.
Suppressing them would prevent the body from achieving harmony, causing the disease to persist indefinitely.
Phlegm, coughing, pus discharge — and even childhood diseases like measles and chickenpox, high fever, vomiting and diarrhea, bleeding from hemorrhoids, acne, eczema (such as “rich man’s hand”), athlete’s foot, fungal infections, body odor, abscesses, and skin disorders — all function similarly to sweating, urination, and defecation:
They are natural detoxification phenomena signaling the body’s effort toward restoring balance.
If these toxins are not properly expelled, true recovery and lasting health are impossible.
