Your Body Knows How to Heal a Hole in the Heart. Here’s Why It Doesn’t.

I want you to consider a woman who has given birth to five healthy babies. Think about what that really means. Her body, with its own innate intelligence, has manufactured five brand-new hearts, ten kidneys, five livers, and every other intricate part that makes up a human being. Her body is a factory of life.

Now, let's say a doctor tells this same woman she has suddenly developed a hole in her own heart and needs an operation to fix it.

I have to ask a question that stops me in my tracks: Does this woman's body—a body that possessed the genius to build five complete hearts from scratch—not know how to patch a tiny hole in its own?

I find that impossible to believe. In my view, a hole in the heart is not truly a disease of the heart at all. The body knows exactly how to plug that hole. The problem is that it’s facing difficulties that prevent it from doing its job. If we can identify and remove those obstacles, I believe the hole can be plugged without any operation, medicine, or invasive procedure.

Let’s explore what these difficulties are.

The Master Craftsman with Faulty Materials

The first reason, as I see it, is a problem of supply quality. Your body is like a master craftsman, ready and willing to patch the hole. It goes to its workshop—your blood—to get the necessary materials for the repair.

But what happens if the materials in the blood are bad? What if the "plaster" it needs to fill the gap is spoiled or corrupted? The body, doing its best, takes this faulty material and tries to apply the patch. But because the material is defective, the patch won't hold. The hole remains.

So, I ask you: Is this a disease of the heart? Or is it a disease of the blood? Should we operate on the heart, or should we focus on purifying the blood so the craftsman has good materials to work with?

The Empty Workshop

The second and third reasons are related to supply quantity. Imagine our master craftsman is ready to work, but when he enters the workshop, the shelves are bare. The specific, crucial ingredient needed for the patch is either completely missing from the blood, or there isn't enough of it to do the job.

Or, perhaps the entire blood supply is low. If there isn't enough blood circulating in the body, no major repairs or renovations can even begin. The body is in conservation mode, just trying to keep the lights on. It will wait, patiently, for the day the right supplies are delivered so it can finally get to work.

Again, is this a heart problem? Or is it a problem of nutritional deficiency and blood volume? In my experience, once we learn how to properly nourish our blood, the body can finally perform the repairs it has been waiting to do.

The Ghost in the Machine: When Your Mind Creates the Disease

This fourth reason is perhaps the most profound and unsettling. The disease, I believe, often comes first to the mind, and only then does it manifest in the body.

Let me paint a picture for you. You go to the hospital with some chest pain. You get a scan. Now, imagine the nurse, by mistake, hands the doctor another patient's report—a report that shows a hole in the heart. The doctor looks at this wrong report and gravely tells you, "You have a hole in your heart. We need to operate within six months."

What happens next? You go home. While sleeping, eating, and working, you are consumed by the fear and worry of this non-existent hole. After three months of this constant mental anguish, if you take another scan, something shocking might happen: a real hole may have actually appeared in your heart.

Your mind, by believing in the disease, created it.

You might wonder how this is possible. Think about a simple bodily function like urination. What switch do you press? There is no switch. You simply decide it's time, and your mind sends the signal to the bladder to release. This is proof of the mind's direct control over the body. If the mind believes it is sick, it can command the body to become sick.

This is why, in my view, it is very difficult to treat highly educated people who google every symptom. The sheer amount of available medical information creates fear, and that fear can create disease. Once you truly believe in your mind that your heart is broken and can only be fixed by surgery, your body will not even attempt to heal itself. It will obey your belief.

The Corrupted Blueprint

Finally, there's a fifth possibility. The body has the intelligence, the "know-how," to cure itself. But what if that intelligence—that internal blueprint—becomes corrupted or damaged? The craftsman is willing, the materials are there, but he has forgotten how to perform the repair.

In essence, a hole in the heart is rarely just a heart problem. It’s a symptom of a deeper issue in one of five areas:

1. The quality of your blood.

2. The quantity of nutrients in your blood.

3. The overall volume of your blood.

4. The state of your mind.

5. The integrity of your body's own intelligence.

By learning to address these five areas, I am convinced that anyone can empower their body to do what it was born to do: to be its own best doctor and to heal itself from the inside out.
