We live in interesting times. Scientists are working to develop nano-technology, intelligent machines that are so small they can be injected into our blood to assist our bodies in repairing injuries, fighting off infections and helping us to live longer, healthier lives. But at the same time, science is also giving us a greater understanding of how healing really works and we are beginning to recognize that the human body is a remarkable symphony. A human body can think thoughts, paint a picture, fight germs, remove toxins and make a baby - all at the same time. There is a genius inside all of us and this genius is the inner intelligence of the body that mirrors the wisdom of the universe.
Healing is real and is biologically orchestrated. We have a pharmacy inside all of us that makes wonderful drugs and this pharmacy is the product of our experience. And not just our experience, but the experience of our ancestors going back through billions of years of evolution. So if I run across a flu virus for the first time, my body knows how to make the precise antibody for it, even though I've never seen it before. However, one of my ancestors learned how to do it centuries ago and my body now has that knowledge. If I cut myself, clots begin to form immediately to stem the loss of blood, while my white blood cells rush to defend the area against invading infection and my body immediately begins closing the wound and repairing the damage. Everyday our cells mutate and theoretically we should all be dying of cancer but we have the precise mechanisms in our immune surveillance systems that get rid of those mutations. When we experience tranquility it's because our bodies have made a natural form of diazepam, which is nothing more than valium. So our bodies are the metabolic result of generation upon generation of experience.
When there is a disruption of these self-repair systems the result is illness. We can, with the proper modern techniques, replicate some of the repair mechanisms, but what we can never replicate is the complex self defense systems of our own bodies. For example, when we get cancer standard treatments are to poison it with chemotherapy, burn it with radiation or cut it out with surgery. Yet all these treatments also inflict damage on the body in addition to that done by the cancer and our bodies must then work to repair the damage caused by the cure as well as that caused by the disease. Yet when our self defense systems are working properly, these cancers are eliminated without us even noticing. And there is a built in redundancy so that one system repairs another should it get damaged or out of adjustment.
It's when there is a simultaneous disruption of these defense systems that we run into problems and end up with disease and illness. To be certain it is impossible for us to avoid every single threat to our wellness, however, there is much we can do to strengthen our bodies so that when we are faced with a threat our self-defense systems are better able to perform the task required of them. Many of us have food allergies or problems digesting certain foods and we know that if we eat these foods, our bodies will react sometimes quite violently. However, what we put in our bodies doesn't just affect our digestive system but carries through to every system, every organ and every single cell. We all know that smoking, alcohol and drugs have a detrimental effect on our bodies, and we also know that we need proper diet and exercise for optimum health. Yet in most cases, the effects of excess are not apparent until years later at which point we find that it's not just our stomach that's involved but also our heart, brain, joints, etc.
Our best defense is found in nature which doesn't say, "I'm vitamin B," or "I'm an anti-oxidant." Instead, nature says, "I'm an egg plant," or "I'm an apple," and by eating these whole foods we gain the whole benefit of the food, not just the benefit of the individual nutrients. Modern science can copy the components of nature, like vitamin K or C, but it can't duplicate the inherent nutrition of spinach or an orange. When you take just one active chemical out and synthesize it, you might take the intelligence out but you leave the wisdom of nature behind. Nature has a wisdom that is much more superior than isolated chemical intelligence and is the best natural pharmacy available.
But the reality of this fast paced world is that not all of us has time or resources to make eating from nature a reality 100% of the time. But that doesn't mean that we should give up entirely. Maybe we can't go completely natural, but we can eat a fresh salad loaded with deep greens with every meal. We can take the stairs instead of the elevator. We can eliminate artificial sweeteners from our diet. And for everything we can't do, we can supplement. Although the wisdom of nature is our first choice, the intelligence of the science of nutrition is also a powerful tool toward our health and well being.
At Couples Choice Nutrition, we're committed to bringing you the best vitamins, herbal, and nutritional supplements so that you can restore the balance that nature intended and you can live a long, healthy and fulfilling life.
