Hello, Ernst briefly makes the comment in his talks on 5 elements(I think that was it) that the body will gain weight as a means of copping with various negative issues regarding cellular programming and psychological issues. I am curious if this has been addressed as to what the possibly solutions are for this astrologically, and what to look for.
The body will gain weight to dilute toxins. Normally it's the responsibility of the organs to maintain the toxic load to a healthy condition. If they are not able to do this, one of the ways in which the body may choose to maintain the toxic load ratio to a level that will not damage the cells, is to gain weight, most of which is water weight. In this way, the body is protecting itself. This is the general rule. On a psychological level, there are many individual reasons as to why a person may grow their body one way or another, and it's always to protect themselves from something, something that scares them so to that part of them, the weight gain, or whatever, is actually felt to be advantageous. Of course, that part is not usually aligned to the conscious wants of the person.
@ernst Is there any particular form of detox specific for this? Some special kind of diuretic perhaps? What organs might be of particular interest for this that may cause weight? Lymphnodes? What might one give the body to counter this in terms of vitamins and minerals?
