Real healing comes from within.
Let food be your medicine.
If there are any miracles, the body's immune system must
surely be one. The body's ability to protect itself from
disease, to regulate the conditions of it's own health,
and to repair and regenerate infected or damaged cells within
itself without outside help is a true miracle. Finding out
how the body does it has always been the greatest challenge
to science.
What is known is that there are at least eight specific
saccarides involved in intercellular communication within
the body - a system of networking that governs the immune
system. This means that every cell in the body, every gland
or organ, as well as the cells of the blood, are linked
within the immune system through these saccarides. Everything
in the body depends to some degree on these molecules, and
when any of them are missing the immune system does not
function at full capacity.
You do not have to have a total understanding of the workings
of your immune system to stay healthy. Your immune system
is doing its job, whether or not you understand it. All
you need to do is to adopt a proper lifestyle to allow your
immune system to function, and to ensure that your body
receives what it needs to bolster it's disease prevention
capabilities.
You cannot buy good health from the doctor; you have
to build it for yourself!
Why do we have all these cravings for coffee, potato chips,
chocolate, coke, alcohol? Why do so many people gain weight
so easily?
Michael O'Brien, MD is a noted lecturer and product formulator
in the nutritional industry. His tremendous wealth of knowledge
of the nutritional field, coupled with continuous research,
places him in a unique position to address the real
conditions that lead to obesity and degenerative diseases.
He places great importance on the digestive processes and
proper colon health. Michael O'Brien was instrumental in
giving Dr. Bernard Jensen a second chance to live - victory
over cancer and paralysis.
O'Brien simplifies an explanation of the process:
To utilize minerals, we need essential fatty acids; to
utilize the essential fatty acids we need protein; to utilize
the proteins we need enzymes and friendly flora (good bacteria).
It's a chain of events, each component critical to the whole
process. If the body isn't getting the protein it needs,
it takes it from the body, mainly from the muscles, and
we gain fat (weight) faster.
Enzymes are killed
at 120 degrees Celsius. With all the processed and cooked
foods we ingest, there are no live enzymes. Since our body
cannot utilize most of the food we eat because of the lack
of live enzymes, it doesn't get the proteins, vitamins and
minerals we need, and we don't have much energy. This is
the reason we have all these cravings for coffee, coke,
chocolate or carbohydrates - they give us energy quickly.
Our body is starving and it needs a quick fix, even when
this causes weight gain and is deadly in the long run.
Friendly flora (good
bacteria) work in conjunction with natural enzymes as a
necessary part of the biological process of digestion. Friendly
floras are the "soldiers", deactivating viruses
and enhancing the immune system. They distribute minerals
to every organ in the body. Due to chlorinated water and
modern drug-based antibiotics, the friendly bacteria populations
in our bodies have been greatly diminished. Repopulating
our intestinal tract with natural, friendly bacteria is
of paramount importance to our health.
Protein: Out of the whole plant kingdom, hemp seed
has the closest nutritional profile to the human plasma,
and is the only plant that is made up mostly of the globulin
protein Edestin, the backbone of our cells' DNA.
Essential amino acids and Omega 6 and Omega 3 Essential
Fatty Acids: "Essential" means that the body
does not make it and must get it from food. Hemp also has
abundant Vitamin E antioxidants. The oil is the most stable
and balanced of all plant oils, not turning into trans fatty
acids at 350ºC. It has a natural SPF of 15 and is the
only vegetable oil that goes directly through all seven
layers of the skin.
As you consume these nutrients, you will notice the disappearance
of cravings for meat and stimulants such as processed sugars,
pasta, breads, caffeine, alcohol and drugs. These foods'
related negative effects like anxiety and depression will
subside.
When you start to provide your body with the essential
nutrition it needs, the rejuvenation of your genetic structure
is immediate, because the main cleansing organ, the liver,
is now receiving the protein and enzyme fuel it requires
to perform its more than 600 functions: removing toxins,
making glucose, and balancing the endocrine system.
