The world is currently gripped in
fear of the scary coronavirus. Let’s first get one fact clear: If you have ever
had a cold or flu in your life, odds are that it was the result of a
coronavirus infection. Yes, coronaviruses cause colds.
But, we are being programmed with
the belief that this particular cold virus is “deadly.” This fear has shut down
concerts, conferences, and major public events all over the world.
The fear has led to quarantines and closing
down of international travel. It has even led to a major scarcity of
toilet paper in Australia, where concerned citizens emptied the shelves of this
commodity in anticipation that they will be walled up in their homes with this
infection.
First, how deadly is this version
of the virus? Yes, there have been corona-related deaths reported with the
statistics suggesting that ~2% of the infected population dies. Wow! That
number is almost 1% more deaths than are attributed to any conventional flu the
world experiences.
What is misleading is the fear that everyone
who carries this virus may die from their cold. This is simply untrue!
The health of almost all the victims of this coronavirus was already
compromised before they were infected.
As presented in The Biology of
Belief, stress is responsible for up to 90% of illness, including heart
disease, cancer and diabetes.
When an individual is in stress, the release of
stress hormones (e.g., cortisol) shuts down the immune system to conserve the
body’s energy for running away from the perceived stressor, that proverbial
“saber-toothed tiger.”
Stress hormones are so effective at
compromising the immune system, that physicians therapeutically provide
recipients of organ transplants with stress hormones to prevent their immune
system from rejecting the foreign implant.
The conclusion is clear: The fear
of the coronavirus is more deadly than the virus itself!
The media (perhaps in conjunction
with the pharmaceutical industry) is compromising people’s health using the
fear card!
This is
the result of negative thinking (the nocebo effect) which is the complete
opposite of the placebo effect manifest through positive thinking!
If you make efforts to stay healthy, with good
nutrition, exercise, taking vitamins and supplements, and more importantly,
avoiding stress (e.g., the “fear” of the virus), even if you do get infected
with the virus, you will likely only end up with a cold and/or slight fever.
If you are someone with a
compromised immune system, it is supportive to surround yourself with loving
family and friends, nature, and positive thoughts as well as any other
nutrition and vitamins that you may already be taking for your health and
wellbeing.
Following your intuition about what is best for
you is key! The point here is that no matter who you are and what your
state of health, you will only benefit from steering clear of the fear and
supporting yourself in whatever way feels best to you.
Please remember the truth of
quantum physics, the most valid of all sciences on the planet: Consciousness is
creating your life experiences!
Are you being conscious of
disease … or of health?
