Nutritional Influences on Health and Disease
Please don?t kid yourself; a great deal of the less than optimal health, one ends up with, has a nutritional basis. A study done not that long ago demonstrated that none of the subjects polled ate the minimum RDA (Recommended Daily Requirement) of vitamins. Yes, none of several thousand individuals of the population studied, met even the smallest of benchmarks. And if you still believe that you can get all the nutrients the body requires by eating a ?good or balanced? diet, then you need to pay close attention to the facts.
By definition Chronic Disease effects 75% of every man, woman and child in the USA. This includes obesity, heartdisease, highcholesterol. high triglycerides, diabetes, hypertension or cancer. Are others included in the chronic group? Consider the reported statistic that by 8th grade, 40% of children have either overt diabetes or the beginning of insulin resistance, Who isresponsible for all these maladies?.for the most part YOU!, and I don?t mean your genes. Let?s quickly understand that genes ONLY predispose you to a particular tendency. There are numerous examples of patients with inherited tendencies, either never expressing the disease or showing a lesser virulent outcome, and or a later onset. How is it that 10 people at a party, all are exposed to the flu, yet only 3 attendees come down with the flu symptoms?
?If?then? medicine can?t possibly ?cure? the modern diseases that beset humankind. It?s naive to think there is one cause for each disease. Although this would be convenient and simple, combinations of circumstances set the stage for the less than optimal health we could experience. We literally have trillions of reactions occurring at the cellular level every day. To think that an organism as complex as the human being (100 Trillion Cells) can break down from one situation and can be fixed easily with one or two medications?lacks logical deductive reasoning.
The new medicine ?Cellular Medicine? regards the health at the primordial source, ?the cell? the only way to truly effect long-range positive change towards health. Most medicines (although often quite useful) are synthetic substances that can be recognized by the body as foreign and often cause more harm than help. The 4th leading cause of death in the USA after heart disease, cancer, and stroke is properly prescribed medicine. To understand the concept more clearly is to realize that the ongoing 24/7 requirement for your cells is the presence of Vitamins.Minerals, Enzymes,and Essential fatty acids. These cofactors allow the trillions of daily cellular operations to occur unencumbered. Our requirements for these substances increases under several circumstances. For example, illness, trauma, and mere aging.
To understand why you ended up with a problem, versus someone else your some age with similar living parameters is the simplification of the complex. I often explain this difficulty by using the acronym FAMILY to demonstrate the tremendous exponential negative exposure a single cell will be exposed to every day.
F-Foods, Particularly those that provide no nutrition or even rob the body of precious nutrients. Additives, preservatives and a host of other substances that require a PhD in chemistry to understand. Comparisons to many vegetables like Broccoli to nutrient values pound for pound to 25 years ago is disappointing. Some studies show as much as a 40% decrease in the vitamin/mineral content.
A-Acid: Base balance. Most of our food preferences end up in the inside of our cells becoming very acidic. As noted by prominent researchers the nidus for many if not most of our chronic diseases. The cellular milieu is the background in which our cells must do their work. Obviously, there are environments that support more optimal health than others. Every farmer knows this and strives to keep his land in the perfect state to grow his crops.
M-medicines as we already note, and metals, specifically heavy metals, adversely effect the workings of the cell. And can have neurological consequences as well. Some of the heavy metals are Lead, Cadmium.Mercury, Antimony, Bismuth, Arsenic and Aluminum, although not all of them are classified as a heavy metal but is characterized as one, due to its common properties and deleterious effects with its overload.
I-Ionizing radiation ? damages cells especially those in the division phase making them much more vulnerable to damage from the elements.
L-Live organisms - we live in the microorganisms? world not vice versa. Study shows that the human body contains 3 lbs. of bacteria. (Who in the world did that study)? It is the balance of Good bacteria to Pathogenic that is most important. The maintenance of this delicate balance can make all the difference in the organism?s health.
Y-Your Genetics.
By now, you?re probably saying , ?What?s the answer to this cellular struggle?? It is the simultaneous introduction of optimal nutrition, and life style changes, hormonal balance, mind balance and regenerative science applications such as a Stem Cell transplantation.
The key to this discussion is for you to recognize we have the power in most cases to change in a positive way our cells and their level of function. It should also now be obvious to you that since thereis so much human complexity, Biochemical Individuality (like a thumb print) requires nutritional repletion based on each person?s individual needs. No two treatment plans should ever be a duplicate of someone else?s.
