HEALTHY THE LYMPH SYSTEM - HEALTHY BODY

The Lymph System: The Body’s Garbage Collector.
This magnificent system’s purpose has long been misunderstood and its activities misinterpreted. As part of the incredible intelligence of the human body, here are several systems that perform seemingly miraculous functions: the nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, reproductive system, musculoskeletal system,
and

LYMPH SYSTEM

which is an integral part of the body’s defense system.

Our body is infinitely capable of defending and protecting itself. Our Creator thought of absolutely everything when making our bodies. God didn’t forget something as critically important and essential as a mechanism to protect against disease.

That is the defense system, erroneously referred to as the "immune system". It would be lovely if we could be made "immune", but it doesn’t work that way.
If we hold a loaded gun to our head and pull the trigger, there is no immunity to blowing our brains out. And there is no immunity to violating the laws of nature for years on and not having to pay the price for doing so. People have been convinced that they can live an an-healthy lifestyle, than run to the doctor for a pill or shot that will make everything okay, as if miraculously , all past transgressions can be swept away by some potion.
As far as preventing disease and creating vibrant health are concerned, our success depends on understanding the Lymph System, which is the heart and soul of the body’s defense mechanism.
The Lymph System is not at all complicated.
Toxins are a major contributing factor in the development of disease.
If toxins are allowed to build up and remain in the body, they will eventually cause harm to some degree, anything general aches and pains all the way to driving cells crazy.
If, however, they are removed from the body on a regular basis so that what is being build up is not allowed to exceed what is eliminated, your system will be kept sufficiently clean to prevent disease from ever getting started.

How fortunate we are that our bodies are equipped with such supreme intelligence.

What is The Immune System?

UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Unhealthy lifestyle - civilization diseases.
Most of us eat too much, rather from habit than hunger. We are convinced in our childhood that we have to eat a few meals a day regardless of how we feel.
An old Tibetan teaches:

"Most people get ill for one of two reasons - overeating or hunger". As it turns out , we often use forks and spoons to dig our own graves.

The knowledge allowing us to use a correct diet is very important. It is not enough to prepare tasty meals; we need to know how properly nurture our body.
Our body is overwhelmed by the necessity to digest, process, and assimilate excessive amounts of food.
From what kind of food should we get our life energy ?

The kind that grows in the sunlight is the best source of energy for us. The sun is the universal energy source for every living organism. Nature gave plants the ability to absorb and accumulate sun energy that is later available for our use.

Nutrition influences not only our health but also our longevity.

I would like to add that diet based only on the calorie count is wrong from the physiological point of view. It is not the initial calorie content of the food that matters, but how much energy we actually obtain from it when it is digested.
Even though plant-based foods represent lower calorie content, net energy our body receives after their digestion is still higher. This is why a bowl of fruits makes us feel light and ready to do some work , but , in contrast, eating a portion of meat makes us feel going to sleep. We associate meat consumption with strength and energy. In reality, meat only stimulates our nervous system in similar way narcotics do.

"I do feel that spiritual progress does demand, at some stage, that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants" - Mahatma Gandhi

DISORDERS of OUR JOINTS

"Each illness has its cause, and the cause cannot be removed by any medication" - Hippocrates

The medication or hospital care cannot cure us from bad habits that result in the internal contamination of our body.
We should acquire the habit of looking after our health, and understand that we are the custodians of our bodies.

Disorders of our joints
Disorders of our joints and bones, back pain, chronic rheumatism, arthritis, podagra, etc., are caused by excess of uric acid in our body. We are going to safer in pain as long as its hard crystals are stuck in our bones and muscles. Those suffering from rheumatism or podagra have to understand : to get rid of pain they’ve been suffering from for years, they need to interrupt the process of uric acid formation and dissolve its deposits accumulated in joints and muscles. ( post about it - next year).
Podagra (Gout)
usually attacks joints in our great toes, less often in the thumbs. Excruciating gouty pains are the usual symptoms. Deposits of crystals cause pain, swelling, and redness in the joint area. Salts deposited by blood form growths that deform our joints and interfere with their mobility. If the deposit of acid keep growing, thick cement-like layers of salt cover the entire joints and prevent them from almost any movement.
Chronic rheumatism should be distinguished from acute rheumatism, which is a complication from cold or flu. Chronic rheumatism is related to podagra because both are the result of accumulated uric acid deposit. It seldom affects young people. Older people pay that price for all generous meals in their lifetime.
We can say that rheumatism is a mirror where our bad nutritional habits are reflected. Chronic rheumatism causes swellings and growths that look very much like those in podagra cases, but it isn’t as painful as podagra. Its causes is slow metabolism originating from excess of uric acid due to consuming products containing it, or consuming a lot of alcohol, coffee, tea, sweets and cigaretts.

THE BASIC RULE IN GOOD HEALTH MAINTENANCE.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF COMMON COLD ? (2)

It is waste accumulated in our body.
If our ability to discard that waste is deficient, the large intestine becomes a warehouse for all this filth. Self-poisoning (autotoxication) is the worst enemy of our health.
It is the cause of many disease because all of them begin in poisoned blood.
From the large intestine , it’s distributed to the whole body and forms unhealthy mucus. When the amount of toxic mucus becomes dangerous, our body tries to clean itself through the nose, and this becomes what we call common cold. As viruses and bacteria invade the mucus, they bring about inflammations and fever. These are facts that deserve some thought.
Ancient physicians and healers of Egypt and Tibet knew long ago the fundamental principle:
Good health requires maintaining our intestines in perfect order.
We know how to deal with complicated economic issues, how to use computers, or how to repair an electronic instrument with thousands of connections, but we cannot answer the simple question about the number of times we urinate in a day or about the color of our urine.
We need to watch the way our body functions and understand what is good and what is harmful for us.
This is the basic rule in good health maintenance.

CAUSE of COMMON COLD

CAUSE of COMMON COLD (1)

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease" - Thomas Edison

Numerous researches have tried to identify and examine the evasive microbe that is supposed to cause common cold. As recently as in the 1940-ies the scientists explained the ineffectiveness of the research by the fact that the microbe is too small to be seen under the available microscopes. Later spectacular technical advances, including electron microscope, didn’t change the situation. Sophisticated optical equipment allowed the discovery of hundreds of new microorganisms, but none of them could be pinned down as the only cause of common cold.
Today, more than 200 different viruses are said to cause the symptoms of the common cold (rhinoviruses, coronaveruses, paramyxoviruses… the list goes on and on..)

Why can’t we identify the microbe that causes the common cold? - Because there is no such thing. Each of the suspected microorganisms is only feeding on the mucus produced in the bodysuffering from common cold. That mucus, resulting from wrong nutritional habits, is in the body all the time.

In the spring and fall seasons, the body starts cleaning itself of the excess amounts of mucus. That’s when germs show up and start dissolving and then destroying or removing the mucus, in effect helping us to clean up our body.

But what do we do then?

We take medications to get rid of the microbes. This way, we end up killing what is helping us and allowing the mucus to stay in our body. After some time, we get sick again either with common cold or influenza. The root of the problem remains the same, only this time a different kind of microorganism is feeding on the mucus.
Year after year in spring and fall seasons, epidemic numbers of people suffer from runny noses, bone aches, and other common cold symptoms. We have more and more medications intended to kill the microbes. The germs, tiny as they are, are not stupid. They want to live, and they find ways to become immune to our drugs. It doesn’t take a prophet to predict the result of such "wars". The stronger and more effective drugs we invent the more vicious microbes we have to deal with.
Who is the loser in this war? Our health is. All drugs, even those considered very safe, cause side effect.

What then is the cause of common cold ?
