The Body's Healing Process
Let me try to explain what is happening in your body now.
Maybe that will help you understand what is happening to you, and why you might
feel the way you do.
Whenever the body has something in it that it finds NOT normal: i.e. the way
the body is meant to be, your body's circulatory system brings extra fluid to
the area to flush out the free radicals, toxins, etc. This process is called
the inflammatory process.
It will happen anywhere in our bodies, i.e. knees...when we don't have enough
natural lubricant, ears...when there is some type of irritation (Meniere's).
Pain centers...Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, when our bodies can't produce enough
insulin to neutralize the extra sugar we eat.
When we are healthy, the body has lots of natural fighters known as "anti-oxidants"
which it gets from food and water and a good environment, moderate exercise,
rest, etc.
Once all these situations change.. and a few of the changes are:
food has no real nutritional value any longer (transportation,
chemicals added, plus..), too much exercise, environmental pollution, drugs
to correct the problems, chemicals in foods or hormones in animals.... sometimes
the body gets confused and "eats itself" (auto-immune condition)
In most cases, you HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS.
So the natural thing for your body to do is to try and remove these challenges.
However eventually your body's own army, your IMMUNE SYSTEM, is overwhelmed
and can't cope any longer. It has now depleted its store of anti-oxidants and
its support: it needs help.
Most people, in good faith, will go to a doctor, get a prescription and try
to correct the problem that way. These drugs will help in the short run, but
again increase the burden of the body's defense system. So it must now try to
neutralize those free radicals as well.
So many of have turned to "health food supplements" or someone tells us about
antioxidants that could help. And, we, in good faith eat them and feel better.
So then along comes another problem: you add yet another specific "natural"
remedy/product and this one is looked after.
That's OK, but these products in most cases will only look after a specific
problem.. NOT THE WHOLE BODY!
So after a while, there are too many problems and so many "natural solutions"
that they are creating their own problem. I don't know if you know that, but
this industry it unregulated. A product can be called "natural" if it contains
as little as only 4% natural ingredients.
Let me give you a ridiculous example. Someone decides to cash in on the fitness
market and make a nutritional supplement. They find an ingredient like Ginkgo,
place 4 teaspoons of Ginkgo into a pail, add 96 teaspoons of sawdust (an exaggeration,
of course!), stir it up, and sell it as "natural Ginkgo". Some people and companies
use totally useless fillers to do just that.
That's why so many products are so cheap. They don't need to use good ingredients:
they will sell without them, if the advertising is "loud enough".
So what would be helpful for our bodies to do to get back to some semblance
of health?
1) Remove the
known causes of damage to our bodies
2) Give things
that help in removing the results of the causes
..i.e. the fluid build-up.
3) Give added
"help" via strong anti-oxidants to help heal and
build up the immune system so it can do its original work.
4) Prevent further
problems. Stay on a maintenance dose of a
total system. Make sure that whatever you use, has chosen to work under strict
federal laws to ensure quality and high standards.
5) Make sure it
meets "pharmaceutical grade" standards. Ideally it would be listed in
the Physicians Desk Reference, the guide book used by Doctors, Pharmacists and
other medical professionals to check the quality of the products that are eligible
to be included. Very high government and Medical standards MUST be met
before ANY product can be listed in the Physicians Desk Reference.
Now none of these problems and disease and conditions came
on overnight: hence the solutions won't happen that quickly, either. But with
all additional help, the healing will happen MUCH more quickly than the problem
took to get you sick or "unwell".
So how will high quality nutritional supplements help specifically?
The basic philosophy is to treat the entire body with a top source of nutrition,
but researchers also know that an unhealthy body needs more than just the basics
to get back to its "near" original state. That's why the other, more specific
products were needed.
Once everything is functioning well again, the underlying problem, if it is
fairly minor, will probably be eliminated.
However, things like arthritis, Meniere's, and Diabetes will
be there. BUT a person would be much more able and willing to live with those
results, and with smaller drug doses, or just a special diet.
So how specifically would high quality nutritional supplements
work to alleviate the Meniere's problems?
1) Known cause: Look if any of
the "offending" items are present.. A few are: food has no real nutritional
value, too much exercise, environmental pollution, drugs to correct the problems,
chemicals in foods or hormones in animals.
2) Give things that help in removing
the results of the causes ..i.e. the fluid build-up. give added "help" via strong
anti-infammatories: that's to help the body get rid of the extra fluid that
it created to "flush out" the enemy/ free radicals. In David's case, the doctor
suggested a combined powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
3) Give added "help" via strong
anti-oxidants to help heal and build up the immune system so it can do its original
work. The two doctors suggested a whole system of nutritional supplements
because they know what the body needs. (David and I didn't create this: the
2 Doctors David was working with did.)
4) Prevent further problems. Stay
on a maintenance dose of a total system. Make sure that whatever you use, has
chosen to work under strict federal laws to ensure quality and high standards.
Make sure it meets "pharmaceutical grade" standards", and is listed in the Physician's
Desk Reference (PDR).
High Quality vitamins and minerals need to provide complete,
balanced, AND OPTIMUM nutrition. They help to feed our bodies with everything
it could need, in the way it can use it right away. They act as a doorway and
allow the rest of the "elements" to work in harmony and in balance.
Strong anti-oxidants are designed to provide extra "fighting power". They neutralize
the free radicals and it also act as a very strong anti-inflammatory, which
draws fluid away from the cells.
Ginkgo brings extra blood circulating to the brain and head, flushing more toxins
and free radicals out of the cells, and leaving behind the healing antioxidants.
Certain varieties also have an added ingredient that helps with make your memory
a bit better.
Calcium helps with bone growth. The middle ear has three tiny bones that must
work in unison. They have to be strong and healthy in order to transmit the
sounds and vibrations so we can hear what is going on around us.
This is a very simplistic overview of the whole mechanism of healing. I hope
it helps you understand this just a little and give you hope for a brighter
future.
If you would like to learn more about how to find Quality
nutritional supplements, we have 2 reports on the website for you. The
first one is a Vitamin
Checklist so you will know what to look for in a quality nutritional
supplement. The second one is a
Vitamin Comparison to help you make an informed
decision the next time you go shopping for nutritional supplements.
