The four stages a cell goes through on its way to dis-ease:
The ACUTE stage is the beginning of a sickness like a type of mild symptom. Inflammation, pain, discomfort, running nose, fever, sneezing, etc.
A SUB-ACUTE stage is when mild symptoms become slightly worse. Mucus begins to change color at this point, fever increases, pain increases, causing the body to store toxicity deeper into the tissues.
The CHRONIC stage is a serious condition such as many “auto-immune” problems such as lupus, lyme, fibromyalgia, arthritis, etc. Cells become weak and hypo-active; organs and glands become underactive. Ulceration and deterioration appears where inflammation was. This is your body telling you that something is seriously wrong.
The final stage is the DEGENERATIVE or atrophy stage. Cells are dying at this point. Pain is back with a vengeance. Viruses or antigens are released for self-destruction, parasites take control, cells begin mutating as in cancer and other degenerative conditions. Cancer happens when a cell has become so damaged it mutates in order to try and survive.
The body is self healing once we learn how to get out of its way. A diet of living, hydrating foods in their natural, raw, unadulterated state along with some tissue-specific herbs will enable the body to clean, rebuild and regenerate. Truth is found in simplicity.
We follow food combing rules so our digestive enzymes will work properly. This means eating mono meals of fruit and never mixing fruit with fat, protein or starch.
Healing will involve going back through these stages in reverse. The four processes in the body that require fixing in the process of getting well are as follows: DIGESTION, ABSORPTION, UTILIZATION and ELIMINATION.
First, we must correct DIGESTION so the nutrients will be available for the body to be able to absorb. Digestion involves your pancreas and also your liver/gallbladder for lipids, so all these organs must be working properly.
Food will digest better when it is eaten as a mono-meal (a single type of food). Digestion begins in the mouth when food mixes with saliva, so chew your food well for good length of time.
The next process that must be fixed is ABSORPTION. One of the main things that prevents proper absorption is mucoid plaque on the bowel wall. This can be cleaned up with herbal stomach and bowel formulas, along with ceasing to eat all mucus-forming foods!
A clogged lymphatic system can also lead to malabsorption of lipids that must be unclogged with fruit and herbs. One other aspect that could be contributing to malabsorption would be a low functioning thyroid which will also be corrected with fruit and herbs.
The next process is utilization of nutrients. UTILIZATION involves mineralocorticoids produced from the adrenal glands. Your adrenal glands must be working properly to fully utilize minerals. Your enzymes must also be working right in your body which requires it to be slightly alkaline. In an acidic body, enzymes will not work properly. All hormones must be in proper balance for everything to be utilized properly.
The final stage is probably the most important: ELIMINATION. If you do not eliminate your bodily waste it will cause auto-intoxication and you will poison yourself. What happens to a baby’s bottom when you don’t change its diaper? It gets a rash. The same burn happens to your cells when you don’t eliminate your waste properly.
We will eliminate digestive waste, parasitic waste and cellular waste, which must be cleared from the body via the lymphatic system. The body's main channels of elimination are the kidneys, the bowels, the skin and the lungs. They must all be working correctly if you want to be eliminating properly.
Correct these processes and you will have vibrant health!
