Dissociative Identity Disorder more commonly known as Multiple Personality Syndrome has something miraculous to teach us about the nature of dis-ease. First of all let's talk about D.I.D and what it is.
"Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a mental illness that involves the sufferer experiencing at least two clear identities or personality states, each of which has a fairly consistent way of viewing and relating to the world. Some individuals with DID have been found to have personality states that have distinctly different ways of reacting, in terms of emotions, pulse, blood pressure, and blood flow to the brain."

Now for the miracles - did you know that these distinct personalities all inhabiting one body are able to manifest different disease states? Yes one body - different dis-eases!
Perhaps you need some proof? I began investigating this amazing phenomenon when I was working as a natural health consultant and one of my clients had DID. During one consultation this remarkable lady, who we will call S, 'switched' personalities and I literally saw some bruises on her arms disappear! I asked the personality, who we will call H, in front of me about this and she answered that S had fallen a few days ago and bumped herself on a table on the way down, and then H shrugged as if to say it was nothing to do with her.
That night my mind was in a constant state of wonder and curiosity about this amazing phenomenon. I had to know more. You see I had come a long way on my own road to health, but seemed at an impasse and if this ability of the human body to turn dis-ease states on and off was real then even more questions came to mind:
just to name a few.
My research:

- Is illness real at all?
- If not then what are we curing?
- If illness and dis-ease are wrapped up in a personallity, then what is it that causes illness>
just to name a few.
My research:
- Within a given individual, multiple disease states can exhibit
themselves exclusively of each other, depending on the state of
consciousness ('personality') currently activated in the conscious
mind. Thus, with one personality expressing itself in the conscious
mind/body system, the individual can show all the clinical symptoms of
diabetes, for example, and require insulin -- while a shift into
another personality may result in no presence of any disease state or
perhaps the clinically-confirmed appearance of a cardiovascular
condition requiring entirely another type of medication and treatment.
Thus, clinical measurements show changes not only in immunoreactivity
when the individual switches from one personality to another but in
bodily functions and metabolism as well, as the subject becomes
hypertensive in one personality, diabetic in another, and neither of
these in yet other states of consciousness (Hall, N.R.S. et al., 1994;
Cosh J., 1996; Hirshberg C. & Barasch M., 1995). - Research reported over the last decade on some of those suffering
from multiple personality disorder (Hall, 1994; Barasch & Hirshberg,
1995). What the studies report is the bona fide appearance of clinical
symptoms of a particular medical ailment with the manifestation of a
'personality' in consciousness, requiring the specific appropriate
medicines and treatment to sustain function and life. All the while
the association of another state of consciousness in the same
subject's mind creates an entirely different set of clinical symptoms
of pathology to precipitate, and no pathology appearing whatsoever
when a third state of consciousness presents in the conscious mind.
Thus, a diabetic in one 'personality' becomes a cardiac patient in
another state of consciousness and shows no medical pathology at all
when another schizoid fragment of consciousness presents itself
through yet another state of mind. The confirmation of genuine
clinical medical symptoms of disease, concurrent with specific
psychological states of consciousness in the subject, demands an
understanding that supersedes the casual and common misunderstanding
and misuse of the labels 'hypochondria' in medicine and psychiatry,
and further demonstrates the influence of consciousness beyond the
limits of conventional mechanistic mind/body notions of causality and
disease etiology...
Barasch, M. & Hirshberg, C. (1995). Remarkable recovery. London: Headline Books. - "[Candace Pert, Ph.D]: Emotions are in two realms. They can be in the
physical realm, where we?re talking about molecules whose molecular
weight I can tell you, and whose sequences I can write as formulas.
And there?s another realm that we experience that?s not under the
purview of science. There are aspects of mind that have qualities that
seem to be outside of matter. Let me give you an example. People with
multiple personalities sometimes have extremely clear physical
symptoms that vary with each personality. One personality can be
allergic to cats while another is not. One personality can be diabetic
and another not.
[Bill] Moyers: But the multiple personality exists in the same body.
The physical matter has not changed from personality to personality.
Pert: But it does. You can measure it. You can show that one
personality is making as much insulin as it needs, and the next one,
who shows up half an hour later, can?t make insulin.
Moyers: So in the person with multiple personalities, the brain is
releasing different messengers.
Pert: That?s one possibility. We just haven?t done the research to know that yet."
The Truth Seeker Journal: The Chemical Communicators
http://www.banned-books.com/truth-seeker/1997archive /124_1/15_chemical.html - ''The multiple personality offers a special window into psychosomatics,'' said Frank Putnam, a psychiatrist at the National Institute of Mental Health and a leading researcher in the field. ''With a multiple personality you can do research that holds the body constant while you vary the personality, so you can sort out how psychological states affect the body.''
''Multiples exhibit some remarkable medical phenomena.'' Dr. Putnam said. He gives the example of one patient who reacted normally to a sedative drug in one personality, but was totally unaffected by it in another.
''Some multiples carry several different eyeglasses, because their vision changes with each personality,'' said Bennett Braun, who directs a unit devoted to treating multiple personalities at the Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center in Chicago. Dr. Braun reports the case of a young woman who in one personality was colorblind for blue and green, a problem that ended with the successful treatment of her multiple-personality condition. Another woman, admitted to a hospital for diabetes, baffled her physicians by showing no symptoms of the disorder at times when one personality, who was not diabetic, was dominant. A young man was allergic to citrus fruit in some personalities, but not in others.

Another unusual feature of MPD is that each of a multiple's personalities possesses a different brain-wave pattern. In addition to possessing different brain-wave patterns, the subpersonalities of a multiple have a strong psychological separation from one another. Each has his own name, age, memories, and abilities. Often each also has his own style of handwriting, announced gender, cultural and racial background, artistic talents, foreign language fluency, and IQ.
Even more noteworthy are the biological changes that take place in a multiple's body when they switch personalities. Frequently a medical condition possessed by one personality will mysteriously vanish when another personality takes over.
Dr. Bennet Braun of the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality, in Chicago, has documented a case in which all of a patient's subpersonalities were allergic to orange juice, except one. If the man drank orange juice when one of his allergic personalities was in control, he would break out in a terrible rash. But if he switched to his nonallergic personality, the rash would instantly start to fade and he could drink orange juice freely.
Allergies are not the only thing multiples can switch on and off. If there was any doubt as to the control of the unconscious mind has over drug effects, it is banished by the pharmacological wizardry of the multiple. By changing personalities, a multiple who is drunk can instantly become sober. Different personalities also respond differently to different drugs.
Braun records a case in which 5 milligrams of diazepam, a tranquilizer, sedated one personality, while 100 milligrams had little or no effect on another.
Often one or several of a multiple's personalities are children, and if an adult personality is given a drug and then a child's personality take over, the adult dosage may be too much for the child and result in an overdose. It is also difficult to anesthetize some multiples, and there are accounts of multiples waking up on the operating table after one of their "unanesthetizable" subpersonalities has taken over.
Other conditions that can vary from personality to personality include scars, burn marks, cysts, and left- and right-handedness. Visual acuity can differ, and some multiples have to carry two or three different pairs of eyeglasses to accommodate their alternating personalities. One personality can be color-blind and another not, and even eye color can change.
There are cases of women who have two or three menstrual periods each month because each of their subpersonalities has its own cycle.

What does this tell us about the nature of illness?
That illness or dis-ease are all states of unease within the personality caused by beliefs and patterns of thought which can be inherited or created during a lifetime particularly passed on during childhood.
Now if illness and dis-ease are just patterns of thought or beliefs changing our minds holds the key to all miracles. See "The Biology of Belief" by Bruce Lipton, this medical researcher and University teaching professor has proved many things about how our cells and body work and this book will amaze you.
We are able to 'cure' ourselves of any physical illness just by changing our belief and patterns of thought about it - we know this is real because of the miraculous ability of those with DID to change their body state in an instant when changing their personality.
When one personality has no cellular memory or belief attached to a certain illness then that personality does not have any symptoms of that illness nor does it show up in medical tests! When we are able to process this information and realise it's potential to enable us to create miracles in our lives we are also able to heal all dis-ease states instantaneously. Perhaps eradicate disease completely from our lives.
Miracles indeed!
Imagine the infinite possibilities,
