"Look at this body! It's a work of art. No improvements can be
made .... divinely put together" - Dr. Bernard Jensen
The main difference between living things and non-living things is that living
entities can repair themselves and thus adapt to the changes of the environment
to a great extent, while the things that are not alive can get broken and
destroyed. For example, if you tear a leaf off of a plant, it can grow a new
leaf. If you cut the skin on your finger, your skin will heal itself.
Alternatively, non-living things like rocks or man-made constructions, no matter
how big and strong, if damaged can not repair themselves. For instance, after
catastrophes like earthquakes, avalanches, and tornados people have to rebuild
their homes, roads, power plants, etc.
This extraordinary ability of all living
organisms to repair themselves is the only power that can heal any illness.
All other healing techniques invented by people can be successful only if they
are directed towards helping the body's own natural ability to regulate itself.
A human body can heal a disease only when all bodily substances such as lymph,
blood, hormones, and countless others are maintained within particular optimal
parameters.
A physiological process that keeps all substances in the body at the levels
necessary for optimal body health is called homeostasis. This process is
extremely complex and the complete understanding of its mechanism goes far
beyond our three-dimensional imagination. We are grateful to recognize that
homeostasis is the most important process in the body. The simple truth is:
if we are helping our homeostasis - we are
taking the best possible care of our health.
How can we take care of our homeostasis when it is out of our reach? The process
of homeostasis in the human body is tightly connected to the endocrine system.
Homeostatic balance depends on the performance of the endocrine glands. If the
glands do not secrete the proper amount of hormones, the homeostatic balance in
the body will shift and disease could start.
The glands of the endocrine system and the hormones they release influence
almost every cell, organ, and function of our body. The endocrine system is
instrumental in regulating mood, growth and development, tissue function, and
metabolism, as well as sexual function, and reproductive processes.
To make it really simple, the endocrine system in a human body acts like a
factory combined with a supermarket that manufactures and supplies every
substance requested by any gland or organ at any time, in any needed quantity.
What would such factory need? An abundance of high quality supplies! Similarly,
the endocrine system in our body absolutely needs all nutrients, including
vitamins, amino acids, carbohydrates, essential fatty acids, minerals and all
trace elements. Supplying all of these nutrients to our body is critical for
good health.
Greens match all of these purposes better than any other food! Once again, when
blended, the nutrients from greens are absorbed more efficiently and provide
many times more nutrients than other foods and even traditionally made salads.
In other words, by drinking green smoothies we
support our homeostatic balance in the most optimal way.
I wish I knew this information ten years ago when my mother was still alive. She
was only 66, a beautiful, adventurous woman, when she was diagnosed with cancer
one year after she swam in the river near Chernobyl. I could have explained to
her now very clearly how the body can heal. I am sure that Mom would have
refused chemotherapy because those poisonous chemicals ruined her already
weakened homeostasis. I would have nourished her to health instead. I understand
now that only supporting (not destroying) the homeostasis gives a body the
greatest chance to heal, She might still be with us. I have met many people who
have survived cancers much more severe than what my mother had by incorporating
more greens into their diet. I miss her. She knew how to share joy like no one
else.
When older people come to my classes, I feel grateful that I have an opportunity
to share my information with someone else's parents. I feel so happy for their
children. What a blessing to have open-minded parents! I am trying hard to be
one myself.
