Struggles of the Body

How the Body Struggles and What Happens

     Toxins build up in the body. These interfere with normal chemical processes in the body. Important minerals and vitamins needed by the body are not there to protect, nourish or repair cells. They are not there to help with normal processes. The body does not run efficiently.
     Meats, most grains, and all processed foods (including refined oils) have an acidic reaction in the body. These provide necessary nutrients, especially proteins, but they are not meant to make up 90% of our diets. (See Acid/Alkaline Balance in the Body) All bodies with serious illnesses such as cancer, arthritis, diabetes and heart disease have a more acidic body pH. Too much meat and breads and not enough raw or lightly cooked veggies and raw fruits is the main cause. Drugs and antibiotics will also make a person acidic. So will a build up of toxins.
     The acidic environment creates a low oxygen environment in the cells. Pathogens (parasites, bacteria, and viruses) love this low oxygen environment. So do cancer cells. The immune system functions well in a more alkaline/higher oxygen environment. This alkaline environment discourages pathogens from living there. A more alkaline body is a much healthier body.
     The high amount of toxins and pathogens, low amount of oxygen/low pH and low amount of nutrient intake causes the thyroid gland to become under active. Refined polyunsaturated fats are extremely suppressive to the thyroid gland. Chief of which are soybean oil and other soy products. Approximately 80% of people in the US have under active thyroid glands. Since the thyroid gland is the "master gland" the entire body is greatly effected.
     A less active thyroid gland means all the other organs and glands are less active. For the digestive system this means that less digestive enzymes will be created by the body. Because there are less digestive enzymes, and because a poor diet has caused friendly bacteria to die off, much of the nutrition in the food is no longer being absorbed or assimilated by the body.

     An under-active thyroid gland means the immune system is working much slower than it would in a "healthy" person. It means toxins are not handled as quickly and it means that pathogens have an easier life living off of you and destroying you health.
     In all, and under-active thyroid gland means all the organs and all body functions are working slower. With everything working at half speed, with poor assimilation of nutrients and a slowed metabolism, a person is tired often, the cold bothers them, their hair thins, they are susceptible to illness. They may struggle with depression, foggy memories, anger, etc as well. These people are prime candidates for more serious illnesses.
     Through all this the lining of the large intestine has become coated with old fecal material, undigested food and mucus. This creates an environment that pathogens love and does not allow toxins to be easily purged from the body.
     At some point in time, the body does not have the raw materials it needs to win the fight, and it will have more waste products and toxins than it can manage. The body no longer has the means to take in nutrients efficiently. Even if a person were to change their diet, at this point, they do not have the systems in place to digest, absorb and utilize the nutrients in the food they are eating. Just changing the diet is not enough. In addition the organs are only working at half speed and they are on a down hill spiral that can be difficult to stop. It is also at this point that the body runs into something it cannot handle. Unfortunately, it is not until people reach this point that they realize something is wrong and because there body is so far down the hill, just changing diet is not enough. It would have been years before, but they need more now. In desperation they usually end up going to the medical community. And once they are totally debilitated by the doctors and given up on, once they have little hope of survival, they may try alternative, natural things.
