THE PHYSIOLOGICAL CORRECTION



We are in difficult economic times as a result of fundamental production problems in the economy. What we are experiencing is not the problem, but the correction. The correction is the antidote. The correction is a way to fix, or correct, poor fundamentals.

In the same way, health requires certain fundamentals. However when those fundamentals are weak, our system is capable of correction. Unfortunately, the uncomfortable symptoms that go along with the correction have been labeled as the problem, when it is the solution.

To illustrate an example of fundamentals in both an economy and in your body, we have created an example.

Suppose Starbucks owners anticipate more coffee consumption than actually occurs. They build a thousand new stores when only 500 were really needed.

At the same time, broccoli farmers underestimate the need for broccoli. They only farmed 500 acres when 1000 were actually needed.

This will eventually result in the cost of broccoli going up, and the lines at Starbucks going down. So Starbucks starts closing stores and lowering prices to lure more people in.

What we have is called a correction. Starbucks and broccoli farmers both miscalculated, and the correction gives them a chance to recalculate. Fortunately, there is a natural mechanism to insure useless work is replaced by useful work.

The sooner the laid-off employee realizes this greater demand for broccoli the better. Now, it might be a difficult transition to broccoli farming, but the sooner he goes through the process of learning to farm broccoli, the more he will be compensated.

Sure, unemployment is not fun. But it is necessary because too many coffee houses were built and not enough broccoli farms. A healthier economy is one in which individual companies/employers/employees are able to provide the ratio of coffee to broccoli (and every other product/service) that people need.

The fundamentals are the same regarding our health. We have both coffee and broccoli motors within our body. It is not that one is good and one is bad. It is just there is a certain ratio of coffee/broccoli that we need. Coffee is for power, quick short-lived energy. Broccoli is for long, sustained, less dramatic energy. We determine what sources of energy we will used by our food and state of mind, and we don’t always determine what energy to use very accurately. This is what mandates the correction.

Here is a very common example. Person X has a very important project at work that absolutely must be done in three months. So he or she works overtime, drinks a lot of coffee and eats a lot of donuts. Basically, he or she is wired, not sleeping much, not taking many breaks. It is as if he is trying to accomplish a marathon by running full-speed.

The results are predictable. He or she will run out of energy at some point, perhaps in a couple of weeks.

Fortunately, the body figures this out and the correction begins. The body begins the process of getting rid of the coffee cells and starts to use broccoli again.

Here are some of the things he or she can expect to experience as part of the correction.

Extreme exhaustion

Basically, the ability to turn on the coffee using cells slows way down, allowing the broccoli eating cells to go into production.

Frequent urination

Sugar is the fuel for the coffee producing cells. When the body finally fires them, they are not using much sugar anymore. It ends up in the blood to be urinated out.

Depression

The less excited you are, the more difficult to stimulate coffee producing cells.

The list could go on and on, but essentially to body is trying to improve on its fundamentals so that the cells can provide the person with enough energy.

Trying to avoid depression/fatigue, etc is about as logical as trying to outlaw unemployment. It makes no sense because it misses the entire point about our physiology and the economy. The factories within the cell and the factories in our economy have a reason for existing beyond employing someone. Both the individual cells and factories in our economy need to make things of value. Likewise, if our cells are not producing the kind of energy we need, they must clear out and create more of the appropriate types of factories.
