What is harmful?
QUESTION: Masters, Is any amount of topical/digested fluoride detrimental to human (physical/spiritual) health? These big debates between official bodies of the society and the part of the people that believe in more natural diet and healing principles are confusing. There’s also the vaccines, antibiotics, claimed carcinogens in your food and skincare. How can I know I’m choosing the best possible option for me and my family when there are no final conclusions? Can I undo any harm by cleansing the products with prayer before using it? On the other hand are there any reasons to doubt conspiracy theories? Why would anyone just make them up? You can see them either trying to create unnecessary fear or revealing a truth that’s beneficial for people to know. Which one it is? ~Aino, Finland
ANSWER: There are no physical nutrients, chemicals, or concoctions that present a danger to spiritual health. Hazards to the physical body come in two categories: those which interfere with the growth or balance of the human body and those which are detrimental because of connection to a life lesson chosen by the soul.
Natural diet and healing techniques employ only things that the human body has known for thousands of years. When you consider that with natural means only, a human lived about 35-40 years, you can see there are some benefits to using chemicals and mixtures created for specific conditions by the scientists. The biggest difficulty with being able to evaluate everything currently available is that testing is never applied to all categories of illness and conditions, or no record keeping is done at all.
Using healing techniques and intentions to remove negativity around a substance is always helpful. We cannot tell you that certain things are harmful and others are beneficial because people are all different, with varying interactions to a substance. Some can drink poisons and, because they do not need to, will not experience a reaction. Those who are physically sensitive can react to things that most will not even notice.
Conspiracy theories report on a few factual experiments but mostly relate to an idea someone believes in and wants others to accept with little or no evidence. Some do it for the notoriety. Others have an altruistic tendency and think they are protecting the world. The difficulty with most theorists is their lack of scientific proof, which is also the problem with many claims of cures.
The answer is to see what feels good to you, and not to overdo any one nutrient, treatment, or procedure. Go forward with positive energy and the intention that all will be as it should be.
