Metaphysics

Well, I don't consider the bible sacred and I question the existence of "God" - that's where thinking about these things truthfully leads me. So does that mean I'm stuck with bronchitis forever? Ok, I'll try smiling . . . :) . . . cough . . . cough . . . :(
 

Glinda, I hope you've seen a doctor for your bronchitis -- or have had some treatment (antibiotics).

Just a little FYI -- several years ago I had a severe case of bronchitis, bordering on pneumonia - I bought some herbal pills in a Chinese apothecary in our Chinatownthat were specifically for this purpose, took them and my bronchitis went away within a day or two.

Hope you feel better soon.

I'll certainly go along with those talking about mental or attitudinal factors being important in achieving health. What I don't go along with is attributing these phenomena to the term metaphysics, correctly defined as "that which is beyond physics". My contention is that there is nothing beyond physics. As the history of science has developed over many centuries we have repeatedly been shown by science that phenomena which were originally explained by spiritual forces have in fact an entirely nonspiritual physics based explanation. There remain phenomena which science has not found an explanation, but if history is any guide the nonspiritual answer will eventually be forthcoming.

My sentiments exactly, Josiah!

I am gradually getting better - just not fast enough to suit me. I'm being a baby whining about having to moderate my activities, etc. I don't think this is bacterial bronchitis as I'm not a smoker and don't hang out with smokers. I think it's viral so antibiotics wouldn't help. But if it goes on too much longer, I'll see my doctor. Thanks for your concern, Cookie. I'm sorry, everyone, that I took this off topic somewhat.
 
I know it's off-topic but I just need to respond to Glinda (and others) real quick (forgive me).
Have you had your Pneumonia vaccine? Everyone our age is suppose to get one. Pneumonia is #8 on the list for causes of death.

"If you have not gotten medical attention for a case of bronchitis, it can lead to pneumonia. Your body's immune defenses are weakened when you are sick, which makes it more difficult for you to fight off the bacteria or virus that causes pneumonia." https://www.myphysiciansnow.com/symptoms-of-bronchitis-or-pneumonia/

Thanks for the reminder. I've had my pneumonia shot and my shingles shot. I keep asking when they're going to develop a procrastination vaccine.........
 
Colleen, are you offering your services as a metaphysical healer, offering to teach us how to be metaphysical healers or are you seeking disciples/converts? I'm unclear about the reason for your thread.

I thought the subject was healing --- so the posts are still about health/healing but not strictly metaphysical.

Are you speaking to me, redhead? I just came here, saw Glinda's question (post #23) and Glinda's comment (post #29) about her bronchitis and I posted one reply (post#30), that when untreated can lead to pneumonia and death. I just tried to be helpful with some life-saving advise for her and others our age. I had no idea what the thread topic was (but I acknowledged I was off-topic since Glenda had said she was off-topic in her post #29)…does it matter??...if it's an opportunity to save a life? I'm sorry to have disrupted your topic with my one post. I'll stay out.

Don't feel that way Lara. Everyone's opinion is welcome here. This is about healing in whatever form it takes so that makes room for everybody. There are many roads that will lead to your destination.
