How does our body function?
I believe it is important for everybody to know how their body functions, and to take urgent action to regaining control or maintain their Health. World Health is at a crisis point as every second man and every third woman is diagnosed with Cancer and every second person suffers from a heart attack and every third person a stroke. And these numbers are not stabilising or decreasing, but are in fact on the rise. On the increase too are Allergies, Osteoporosis, High Blood Pressure and more problems you will learn about when you read this book. We have drifted away from being healthy by consuming (whether it be deliberate or not), chemicals, toxins, pesticides, bacteria, parasites, pharmaceutical drugs and more.
We have become ‘lab rats' for the Food and Pharmaceutical Industries! Whilst reading this book you will find out a lot of information regarding this. You will learn how you and your family can start new healthy way of living.
The main point here is to knowing as much as you can about Nutrition. This is the reason why you will find a lot of Nutritional information and the effect and implications that different foods have on your body. Food can be your medicine. This is a fact that must be taken seriously as it is important to educate patients in Nutrition, so that they can start taking responsibility for their own health. Nutrition can heal or lead to dramatic relief and improvement in almost every case. Responsibility for yourself means to feed your organism with the nutrients it needs to regenerate and heal. Because our health system (a more appropriate name would be ‘Sick Care' System) and Normal Medicine does not focus on Nutrition or preventative medicine, we have to take responsibility ourselves.
It is like a car - nobody will expect it to run without petrol! If we put any other substance in besides the petrol (which is specifically for the car) it won't run - so why don't we use the same principle for our body? If we don't put the stuff in that our bodies are designed for, they won't run as healthy and last as long as they should.
If you really want to become healthy and stay that way, you should start to take responsibility now. Start to learn about the things you can do yourself. Unfortunately there is no magic pill that you just take and everything magically happens! You must play a major part in any Therapy to guarantee success! Unfortunately no Health Practitioner can do it for you - Yes we can help you and guide you, but you have to take most of the steps yourself.
If you believe that the information about your health you have received up until now has been sufficient to maintain your health (the most important thing you have) - then you are probably walking on thin ice. You will spin some form of pirouettes and possibly break through!
You have to understand:
The Organ is not important - it is the environment we live in that is important!
It is important to understand and to get as much knowledge out of this book as you possibly can.
Let me tell you two stories to help you understand this:
A pet lover notices that his fish are sick, so he takes them to a Vet. The Vet diagnoses skin fungus infection and some fish also have a bacterial infection in their gut. Some of the fish had already developed tumours. The fish receive some medication and are put back in their Aquarium. Ten days later all of the fish died. The pet owner buys new fish and puts them in his aquarium. A short time later these fish also get sick and are taken to the Vet. This time the diagnosis is bacterial and Virus infection in the respiratory tract and the liver. These fish are also given medication and go back into the fish tank. Two weeks later these fish also die. The owner once again buys new fish and just as the other fish had, the new fish become sick. With frustration the owner visits a different Vet. Our Pet owner is surprised as the Vet asks him for a sample of the fish food as well as a sample of the aquarium water. The Vet explains that he cannot treat fish by examination only, but must also investigate the food and water the fish live in (environment). Living in contaminated water or eating polluted food doesn't maintain the health of the fish. He tells him the milieu, the life conditions/environment the fish live in is also very important - a major consideration. An examination of the water showed an imbalance in the Acid-Alkaline levels (you will read more about this!), which leads to Diseases and Sickness. The food our fish owner was feeding them was more suited to guinea pigs. As a result the fish were living in a morbific environment (Water) and consuming food which they couldn't digest. Therefore in every case the fish's immune system broke down and was not effective for their needs.
Sick Water => Sick Fish - if you add inferior food => Dead Fish!
If your car oil light comes on and you go to a car mechanic you would expect him to do more than just cut through the cable of the lamp or just put a sticker (bandage) over it! You would expect that he checks, changes or cleans out your car oil system and if necessary refill it with oil.
With health problems we have to visualise them like in the example of the fish. Each Organ is part of a holistic system and should not be treated singularly - but always holistically. Only in emergencies (e.g. Bone fracture) should we treat only part of our body - singularly.
The environment in which we live and that which we create or destroy with eating/drinking is so important to our health that any treatment must be combined with optimising the nutrition of the patient. Rome was not build in a day, so yes this process has to be finalised step by step.
Think about it - you wouldn't put the treated and cured fish back into the algae, pure oxygen and contaminated water. Firstly you would clean up and rehabilitate the life circumstances and feed the fish high quality healthy food. This would be a reasonable solution for the problem - wouldn't you think so?
Unfortunately, we do not feed ourselves with the correct nutrients and we live in an artificial environment, which is the reason we become sick. If we take no action we will remain sick and ultimately we become even sicker. When we are ill we ingest chemical and Medicines (pharmaceuticals) which have serious side effects. We take more medication for the side effects and soon it is hard to get out of this vicious circle. Diseases do not come upon us out of the blue, but develop from minor daily sins against nature. Once these ‘sins' have accumulated, they seem to break forth from nowhere, which is like that barrel - the last drop let it overflow. Throughout this journey and by way of this book you will learn the skills and knowledge to improve your health dramatically, even if you have chronic Diseases or are elderly. You will learn that Sickness, Aging and almost every physical and organic dismantling process is always connected with blood circulation interference, decontamination interference and Immune System Disturbance.
And you will learn how to break through this circle and get out of it. Everything we do is always in connection with activating your own "inner doctor".
So let's start our journey through our body and see how it functions:
Blood Circulation:
Our blood is the transport System for Oxygen and Nutrients throughout our body, which our cells are unable to survive without. As a result of poor blood circulation we have heart attacks and strokes - the main killers of humans. Heart attacks and strokes are the breakdown of blood circulation to the heart and the brain. A disturbance in the blood flow and therefore a shortage in oxygen and nutrient, leads to an acceleration of the physical aging processes and to a breakdown of all regeneration and the vital cell repair processes.
To understand how this can happen lets look at the content of blood and the blood vessels.
Blood is a life and flowing tissue.
The content of blood is: 45% Blood Cells and 55% Water. The main part of the live cells is red blood cells which are responsible for the oxygen transportation within the body.
If your bodyweight is 80kg then you will have 34 Million red blood cells flowing through your 6.4 litres of blood. The heart and the strong muscles of the blood vessels have the task to secure the essential blood flow with regular strong pumping. This is the highest priority in our body! All organs in our body try to assure that this flow keeps occurring.
However there is a problem.. The Problem is that the red blood cells have a diameter of 7-8 µm (1 micron = 0.000001 metre) and our smallest blood vessels the capillaries only have a diameter of 3 µm.
We have approx 100,000 km - 250,000km of these capillaries - that's 2.5 times around the world! This is a considerable distance that our blood has to move every second, every day, to supply our body with Oxygen and Nutrients.
Our heart pumps 1800 litres of blood through the blood vessels daily. The heart also has to pump our blood through vessels that are actually too narrow for them. That would be the same as you trying to press a tennis ball through a garden hose. As a result ‘Nature' designed our blood cells extremely elastic and deformable.
With this elasticity our blood cells are able to stretch very long and wind themselves through the capillaries.
This elasticity and deformability is the key to permanently optimal blood circulation.
Think about it....our blood has to flow through up to 250,000km of capillaries to supply all our cells with Oxygen and Nutrients. This procedure is disturbed within 85% of the world's population.
The reason for this is Acidosis, which means the Acid level in our body is too high. These days this is the most popular Metabolism disorder. And the reason for the presence of this Disorder is found in our nourishment.
So Acidity is directly linked to Circulation Problems! WHY?
Let's look into the Digestive process.
What we eat is cut up and digested through the Mouth, Stomach, Gut, Pancreas and Gallbladder fluid, and then transported through a collecting blood vessel into the liver. The liver puts together the food parts (nutrients) so that our body can digest them and transports them over the blood to every body cell in our organs (Connective Tissue, Bones, Muscles, Glands, Digestive Organs, Heart and Brain). All sorts of "rubbish" (Waste, Toxins, and indigestible things) are secreted through the large intestine.
The cells ingest the nutrients and continue the work of the digestive organs by further cutting up the nutrients. Through this digestion procedure in the cells the essential Energy is produced. But every digestion procedure produces waste. The cells also have to, like the large intestine, get rid of the waste, because it is highly toxic (excrement). The waste the cells produce we call lymph fluid and is secreted into the Lymphatic System. From there the waste (some call it slag or dross) flows slowly through the Lymph pathways through the Lymph nodes into the bloodstream.
This separation and decontamination process is disturbed if the person is hyper acidic (high Acid levels within the body). As a result waste remains in the body and can not be secreted.
Compare it with your rubbish bin: if you always have more garbage than the bin can contain and this goes on for years, the result is that the area where you keep your bin will overflow and soon you will not be able to get near the bin anymore. And as a result the environment in which you live suffers. Fungus, Parasites and Bacteria will spread out in the garden and in your house. You definitely will get sick living in such a dump!
This can also happen to us when waste that builds up in our bodies every second and over the course of each day can not be removed.
Therefore more waste and rubbish from our Cell Metabolism and Digestion stays in or between our cells. Those remaining crystal like dross particles are called Acid. Those Acid particles stick to our red blood cells and look like snowflakes on them. Unfortunately, this means the red blood cells lose there ability to stretch! Now they can not wind themselves through the narrow capillaries and they get stuck. The more red blood cells are restricted the more these red blood cells stick together like a plug. These plugs are called blood clots! The blood clot closes the capillary and a circulation problems starts with Oxygen and Nutrient shortage in this area.
So this Circulation Problem is a direct result of Acidity!
Because our life would end if the blood circulation breaks down, our organism does everything to keep the blood stream functioning. Therefore our body begins to compensate, to rebalance the blood flow and to get rid of these high amounts of Acid. Unfortunately this rescue leads to many Diseases.
Let's look into High Blood Pressure (Hypertension):
Our heart and the muscles of the blood vessels increase the ‘pump' pressure to make sure the stiff and plugged blood can somehow still flow. To keep the blood plugs moving the blood pressure rises and forces the blood plugs in smaller and narrower capillaries where they get stuck again. Now the blood pressure rises even further as the body tries to move the ‘plugged' blood again. Because of this pressure the blood vessel bursts and the blood flows into the tissue and squashes the Cells and tissue to death. The Cells die and we identify this as being a Stroke - where the blood flows into the brain or plugs a blood vessel in the brain.
But it is not only strokes that are caused by this. Heart attacks and circulation problems in the legs are also a result of the acidity of the body. As our capillaries only have a diameter off 3 µm (microns) we can not detect these sealing problems with any device. An early sign are Spider Veins on cheeks, legs and around the ankle. The spider veins act as bypasses, which the body forms as the deeper laying vessels are blocked. They are a sort of replacement vessels. Fatigue, lack of concentration, dizziness and fading stamina are early signs of circulation disorders.
So now you understand that high blood pressure is the body's desperate attempt to get the stiff and inelastic blood cells flowing again so that our Oxygen supply does not break down. You also know that this is the direct result of Acidity and that blood pressure lowering medication does not address the cause of the problem. In 85% of high Blood pressure cases conventional medicine does not find a reason and they describe it as ‘essential high blood pressure'. And of course it is essential if the blood flowing in the blood vessels is so stiff and inelastic. If you get rid of the Acid in most cases the high blood pressure disappears without any pharmaceutical medication. Of course the only people who will not be happy about this are those who earn their money from blood pressure lowering medications.
The true reason is the Acidity and overload of toxins and waste in the Organism.
