Built In Healing

HEALING CAPABILITY OF THE BODY


          Is there such a thing as an incurable disease? From a medical standpoint many diseases are incurable. The only reason some diseases are deemed incurable by the medical profession is because they have yet to get out of the body's way and let it work in restoring itself to health. They have yet to learn about removing the cause. The medical profession is bent on "curing" the body. This is done by providing symptomatic relief. In so doing, they not only hinder all or most healing activity of the body, but actually produce a more stressful condition for the body, lowering its immune system, leading to a more serious diseased condition.

          This body is not designed nor programmed to be diseased. It does not know how to be diseased. The only thing the body knows is survival. Disease is the body's effort at surviving in the face of violations of natural laws that govern the body.

          If the body has the intelligence to produce a disease, it is capable of reversing the process to return to health once the cause is removed. Disease is a compensation or reaction to a wrong committed. The body holds on to the disease in order to survive in the face of the violation of a natural law which continues to be committed. The removal of the violation - physical or emotional - then would allow the body to withdraw its survival mechanism and return to health. The longer the body has had to be in a survival mode the longer it will take to return to health.

Since the body is programmed and knows only health, it is absurd and narrow-minded to state that the body cannot return to health (that a disease is incurable). The only limitation to the body's return to health is the limitations we put on the body, both out of ignorance and indifference.

All diseases are curable by the body by adhering to natural healing-principles. Some people find themselves diseased, change to a natural living lifestyle and do not gain total health, some even die of the disease. This is for one or both of  two reasons:

  * In attitude they were not ready for the responsiblity of health, were not willing to learn the lesson for which the disease was a symptom.

* The disease process had such a momentum going that not enough time was available for the sick, toxic, inefficient body to utilize the newly introduced nutrients and energies for reversing the disease before the disease killed the body. Remember it is the body's action or utilization of the nutrients for healing, not the nutrients' action on the body.

                   

If we take an honest look at nature, we will observe that three things are present:

          1) Nature follows definite laws which are not subject to opinion or variance
          2) Every aspect of life is reflected by nature.
          3) Nature is governed by the law of CAUSE and EFFECT.

          If we have violated a natural law, we have created a Cause, for which we will suffer an Effect.

          Our ignorance of the laws of Nature does not change these laws.

There are two reasons for disease, or lack of health

          1) Ignorance
          2) Laziness
          In the field of health, there are a few good rules to follow to achieve health.

          1) Follow the laws of Nature
          2) Let Truth be your authority, not authority your truth.
          One of the Laws of Nature is that the innate intelligence of the body strives to keep the body alive, regardles of the cost. The "cost" is what we call "disease". Disease is the effort of the body to keep us alive.

WHAT IS REAL FOOD?

          The body will keep us alive and healthy provided that we feed it "Real Food". Real food is a food which is compatible with the body; that in no way takes from the body, but lends itself to the building up of health and maintaining life. It contains nothing that is harmful, toxic or non-usable by the body.

          Real Food is defined for us by Nature as follows:

          1) Something edible grown by Nature - of the Plant Kingdom
          2) Food which can be eaten without processing in any way.
          3) Food which comes to us from Nature as "complete packages", that is, they contain naturally everything in them necessary for the body to process and assimilate that food.

WHY DO WE EAT FOOD?

          The only qualities of food which the body requires in a complete package are the following:

         

GLUCOSE, PROTEIN, FATTY ACIDS, MINERALS, ENZYMES, WATER.

          If all of these components are in the food, the food is complete. If any of these are missing, the food is not "Real Food".

          Real Food is provided by Nature in this form as raw fruits and vegetables. Raw fruits and vegetables contain all of the parts mentioned above. If food has been processed, cooked or altered in any way so as to change or eliminate any of the above ingredients, it is no longer "Real Food" as far as the Human Body is concerned.

PLANTS ARE THE SOURCE OF REAL FOOD FOR ALL LIFE FORMS

          The plant kingdom utilizes sunshine, carbon dioxide, oxygen, water and organic minerals in the process of photosynthesis to feed itself and grow. The result is a living plant (food for animal consumption) containing:

  * glucose 
* organic minerals 
* protein 
* organic enzymes (vitamins) 
* fatty acids
* water (pure)

          Inorganic Mineral from the Earth + Photosynthesis = Organic Minerals from Plants which provide Protein and Enzymes for animals and humans.

          The animal kingdom does not possess the ability to perform photosynthesis, therefore must rely on the plant kingdom to prepare its food.

          Any form of processing nature's foods (such as pasteurization, cooking, adding preservatives, etc.) breaks the bonds between the food components and their attached enzymes as well as destroys the enzyme. The result is inorganic or denatured food components and thus inorganic food.

          The enzyme must be alive and attached to the mineral or food component in order for the body to utilize it. The enzyme acts as a "passport" to get the mineral into the cell of the body and aids in the cell's utilization of that mineral. Raw foods are living and thus produce life in the body; because they have intact enzymes they are organic. Enzymes are catalysts -  substances which help the body work more efficiently in utilizing food for life maintaining purposes.

          An example of an inorganic substance is table salt. It is simply sodium and chloride. No enzymes, thus it is dead and the body cannot use it. Our bodies cannot attach an enzyme to inorganic substances, except at great cost. It is only the plant kingdom, through the process of  photosynthesis, that can attach enzymes to inorganics and make them living or organic.

          The more we process a food, the less nutrient value it retains. This is because living foods are organic foods. Processed foods, to various degrees, are inorganic or "dead" foods.

          The following is the hierarchy of food preparation starting at the top with no preparation leaving the food with its full nutrient content, ending at the bottom with the most processing, rendering the food dead and useless to the body - little or no nutrient value retained:

RAW and WHOLE JUICED and consumed immediately

* once the skin of fruits or vegetables is broken, oxygen combines with the enzymes and kills them (this process is called "oxidation")

DEHYDRATED or DRIED

* loses 2-5% of nutrient value
* dried without chemicals or additives
* commercial brands of dried fruit contain sulfur-dioxide; exception: raisins)

FROZEN

* freshly picked and frozen immediately
* loses 5-30% of nutrient value
STEAMED

* loses 15 - 60% of nutrient value
* steamed means the green bean is still a bit crispy (if it's limp, its cooked)

COOKED

* baked, broiled, boiled, grilled, steamed too long, home canned
* the green bean is limp
* loses 40 -100% of nutrient value, depending on how long it is cooked

COOKED LEFTOVERS MICROWAVED

* Loses 90 - 99% of nutrient value

COMMERCIALLY CANNED FOODS FRIED FOODS FOODS with ADDITIVES

* these not only lose 100% of their nutrient value, but have toxins added to them
