Personal energy crisis.

Excerpts from Instinct Based Medicine by Dr. Leonard Coldwell

You are alive because of energy. When you run out of energy you are dead. The main cause of energy depletion in our body is mental and emotional stress. When we are under stress our bodies release extra hormones. Your brain cannot tell the difference between something that is actually happening and something that is simply a figment of your imagination. When there are extra hormones racing around in your body they actually poison your body and suppress your immune system. Your emotions can be draining you of energy and in turn causing you to be sick.

When you don't have enough energy and when you don't have enough oxygen your cells become weak. If your immune system is too weak to get rid of the dead cells then they can accumulate and contribute to a toxic condition in your body which can in turn become a tumor or cancer. Cells only mutate and die when there is a lack of energy, nutrition or oxygen.

Most of the cells in the body only last for eleven months. Every second of the day there is a part of you that is brand new. Based on what you do your cells are becoming more healthy or they are becoming more unhealthy. Nearly seven billion liver cells renew every second. Every eight weeks you get new kidneys. Every eight months you have new lungs. Every four weeks you have new skin.

Occasional stress is not the problem. The problem is when stress goes on and on and on. You might be surprised how many people develop cancer who have a job that they hate or that is really stressful or they are in a really bad relationship. Happiness is so important to good health. Rather than letting it "kill you" find another job and end destructive relationships. Negative ongoing mental and emotional stress can be alleviated with hope, goals that excite and energize you, positive action, self love, self esteem and self confidence.

Every second thousands of blood cells die. The lymph system is supposed to remove this. The only way that the lymph can be moved is if you move. The lymph system doesn't have a pump like the heart that pumps the blood. This is another reason why exercise is so important. Not only does it help you to get more oxygen but it also helps to get the lymph fluid moving.

Dr. Alexis Carrol believed that healthy cells could not die if they received sufficient energy, oxygen and nutrition, and toxins were regularly removed. He used cells from ten to twelve year old chickens, providing them with sufficient oxygen and removing the toxins. In this condition, he managed to keep the cells alive for thirty-four years after which time he stopped the experiment, convinced that he could have kept the cells alive forever under these conditions.

When your body is trying to eliminate toxins there can be reactions such as vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, headache, coughing and fever. When a person turns to medicine to relieve symptoms the medicine often fights these natural reactions forcing the body to retain the toxins, which can then lead to serious medical problems. Always remember that drugs work against the body. For good health you want to use natural products that work with the body. The only thing that can heal the body, other than God, is the body but it needs the right materials.

Respected physicians, therapists and researchers have clearly proven that a body filled with healthful life giving energy is resistant against viruses and bacteria. To prove his point, Professor Bernard went so far as to put cholera bacteria on a slice of bread which he promptly ate in front of his students. He did not get sick! Throughout medical history, there has never been any proof whatsoever that a bacteria or virus can damage a healthy body cell. Dr. Duisburg has stated, "The territory is everything, the microbe is negligible." Scientists from all over the world agree that a body filled with energy will not get sick.

Modern science proves that there is a very close connection between stress and obesity, diabetes, impotence, dementia, heart disease, cancer, memory loss and pre-aging. Extremely elevated stress hormones can lead to auto immune disease which means that the immune system starts to attack the bodies own tissues. Scientific research and studies have shown that chronic stress leads to a fifty percent reduction of immune cells also called natural killer cells. Of significance is that when women get diagnosed with breast cancer, they automatically lose fifty percent of their killer cells because of the stress caused from hearing the diagnosis. This also explains why directly after a diagnosis of a disease, patients deteriorate. This is all caused by stress. Finnish researchers showed that by lowering stress hormones the results were that the aging process was slowed down by twenty-five percent.
