It all reminds me of the formula V=P-O that I read about a few years ago in the Mucusless Diet Healing book written by Prof. Arnold Ehret in the 1920s, and later edited and annotated by Prof. Spira. Vitality = Power - Obstruction. My apologies if I'm way off track from your trains of thought.
When I was fortunate enough to gain that knowledge, and a medical emergency situation prompted me to stop consuming things which form a great amount of mucus (talk about a grieving period of learning all of my former favorites were on the list of things creating the most internal issues), steadily obstructing my innards and chances of forward momentum, my whole flow of energy increased, both internally and externally. (it was and still can be a hell of a struggle, without a doubt, but the results have been like no other)
In other words, I was constantly constipating myself, creating back-ups, traffic jams, chemical reactions that should never happen in my gut and on/or around my body that lead to shit that shouldn't be happening throughout the rest of my body, which resulted in some really pissed off innards, but all of it was repeatedly being diagnosed and medicated as things that were adding even more obstructions rather than helping to clear them....based solely on what I'd been taught and told by professionals, family, schooling, etc. Didn't know any better, so I couldn't do any better. My body damn well knew better and was trying like hell to tell me, but I was my own biggest obstruction at the time.
The usual response when seeking help for those kinds of serious physical issues is to cut someone open and remove the problem organ that is viewed as not totally necessary (ummm....if I was born with it, it's pretty damn necessary) vs. trying to find the root cause and cleaning up the overall environment the organ must reside in. At times it may be very necessary, but more often than not, it seems a bit ass-backward to me.
Someone compared it to a giant fish die-off during a discussion one day. When you see thousands of fish dying for no obvious reason, you don't see them going in to try to medicate each and every fish that's still alive to help prevent further issues, but rather you go in and determine what's in their environment that's causing the death and clean that shit up as soon as possible. The light bulb finally came on in my brain after that talk.
Figuring out what exactly obstructs our personal biology/in-vironment vs. what helps us improve our flow is the tricky part, especially in a society that heavily markets, promotes, rewards, and instructs us to choose the most (often highly addictive) obstructions possible, as those are typically the only options made the most accessible and affordable. I found it to be some pretty mind-blowing and definitely life-changing stuff once I dove in. Hope that's helpful in some way.
