The highly sophisticated immune system contains various weapons of mass destruction that, when used against an invading enemy of disease cells, can save a life, and when used against its own population of healthy cells, can destroy life.
What, Exactly, is the Immune System?
It’s those intelligent, highly trained biological defenders that are inherently trained to identify, attack and destroy disease-causing enemies. It also has a built-in cellular memory system that rarely forgets an enemy, even if somewhat disguised to evade detection. Click to continue reading....
Let’s say you are immunized against a specific disease like tuberculosis. The introduction of the tuberculosis germ into the body is not recognized by the immune system; therefore, its surveillance system identifies it as an invader (antigen). Antigens are foreign substances that trigger the body’s army with a call to “war,” with specific orders to “destroy” by producing substances called antibodies—meaning against foreign or unrecognizable bodies. The antibodies produced by the body are specific only to that antigen. Therefore, if exposed to tuberculosis, the body will immediately recognize it as an enemy, build its resistance army of invaders, and destroy it.
If the immune system is destroyed or weakened by, let’s say, drugs, excessive stress or chemotherapy, it loses its ability to fully protect us against invading enemies. Likewise, if our army gets paranoid and over-zealous during their surveillance maneuvers, they can target healthy cells for destruction—thus, the birth of auto-immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, cancer, and scleroderma, to mention a few.
There is also another form of destruction by our immune cell army, besides total destruction—it’s called phagocytosis, a process by which the invader is eaten or digested, a kind of metabolic cannibalism. This occurs when the body’s surveillance cells (the phagocytes, which include granulocytes and macrophages) signal the immune system response team to destroy as many invaders as possible: viruses, bacteria and dead cells. This type of cell does not have receptors like other immune cells; therefore, communication is somewhat subject to interpretation and invaders are disposed of but not completely annihilated. These cells do not need to directly communicate to get their orders; they are natural killer cells (NK cells) and are programmed to make decisions on the spot, on their own. They do not contain a memory like antibody cells. They have to eliminate the intruder by releasing toxic enzymes that destroy. These NK cells also have the unique ability to stop viruses from replicating by releasing a substance called interferon, a kind of metabolic nerve gas.
The highly sophisticated immune system contains various weapons of mass destruction that, when used against an invading enemy of disease cells, can save a life, and when used against its own population of healthy cells, can destroy life. The good news is that I’m going to share with you ways to send in reinforcement troops, naturally.
Boosting the Immune System, naturally
In this age of high toxic exposures, affecting our liver, lungs, and metabolic functions, it is literally a matter of life or death, directly proportionate to the ability of our immune system to protect us.
Contaminants are everywhere: in our air, food, water, and even medications, both prescription and over-the-counter. We cannot totally avoid exposures in today’s world; however, most forms of illness can be reversed if the body is given what it needs to detoxify and repair. Taking care of your immune system is full coverage insurance from disease; the dividend lies in the arsenal of defenses that makes health your true wealth.
Nations spend trillions of dollars each year preparing their defense systems against unfriendly foreign invaders. Just as important is building our body’s defense system. It is my professional goal to provide consumers, patients, and health care providers the logic of self-healing and self-cleansing as these relate to reversing disease, even the most feared, cancer.
The most powerful drugs alone cannot totally destroy diseased cells; the body must replace the diseased cells with healthy ones. The immune system is the life-giving system, which is supplemented by the individual’s will to experience wellness.
Water and protein are the most plentiful nutrients in the body, and more than 50 percent of dry body weight is protein. According to Dr. G.H. Earp Thomas, a soil and plant scientist, wheatgrass contains vital nutrients that he felt could serve as regenerative and protective factors in human health. His findings concluded that fresh wheatgrass juice was theoretically capable of sustaining human life for weeks, or even months, at a time. Research by Dr. Charles Schnabel estimated that 15 pounds of wheatgrass was equal in protein and overall nutritional value to 350 pounds of ordinary garden vegetables.
At the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, Dr. Arthur Robinson conducted a research project in which wheatgrass and live foods fed to mice were responsible for the decreased incidence and severity of cancer lesions by 75 percent in squamos cell carcinoma.
According to famed nutritionist Ann Wigmore, “Wheatgrass juice is perhaps the most powerful and safest healing aid there is, not because it can attack and destroy bacteria or malignant cells, like some drugs, but because it has the ability to strengthen the whole body by bolstering its immune system.” This ability is attributed to a unique combination of nutritional and chemical values.
It is well known that the body’s ability to fight illness, including cancer, is determined by the strength of the immune system. Ms. Wigmore believed that, in contrast to modern drugs that correct one symptom or another without effectively strengthening the overall state of health, wheat-grass juice provides the necessary ingredients to strengthen the body’s defenses to facilitate healing, naturally.
Hippocrates stated, “The body heals itself; the physician is only nature’s assistant.” Wheatgrass juice works as the body’s healing weapon by providing concentrated ammunition to build up our arsenal of defenses—against bacteria, viruses, and yes, even cancer.
Benefits of Wheatgrass Juice (Organic and Kosher)
- Destroys harmful germs and microbes
- Effective antioxidant for cell strength and preservation
- Stimulant for transport of oxygen to cells
- Neutralizes the toxic effects of fluorine
- Immune booster
- Blood cleanser
- Detoxifies and regenerates the liver
- Chlorophyll protects from carcinogens
- Chemically neutralizes pollutants
- Neutralizes toxicity of nitrogen compounds, found in automobile exhaust
- High in enzymes and amino acids
- Anti-mutagenic & anti-neoplastic effect (ability to fight tumors)
- Neutralizes toxins in our cells
- Contains exogenous enzymes (powerful detoxifiers)
- Contains amino acid chains (polypeptides)
- Contains bioflavonoids (compounds related to vitamins that help cleanse blood and tissues)
- Neutralizes toxic substances like: mercury, strontium, nicotine, polyvinyl chloride by changing them into insoluble salts for easy elimination.
- Contains liquid oxygen
- Stimulates digestion
- Has a dilating effect on blood vessels (making them larger and, thus, improving blood flow)
- Beneficial in treating anemia
- A source of B12, folic acid, iron, copper, potassium and protein, readily converted by the body into healthy red blood cells and bio-available because it’s eaten raw (cooking makes them non-absorbable or destroys them) or organic, kosher, that is freeze-dried at temperatures below zero to maintain integrity
- Contains choline, which helps prevent fat deposits in the liver
- Contains magnesium which draws out excess fat from the liver the same way magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts) draws pus from an infection
- Contains potassium, which acts as a stimulant and is also beneficial to muscle integrity and prevention of spasms
- Acts as a natural body deodorizer effective against bad breath, perspiration odor, menstrual odors, and foul-smelling urine and stools
- Effective in destroying anaerobic bacteria
- Wheatgrass is a nutritionally complete food.
The Way I See It
Why wouldn't you have some organic kosher wheatgrass juice daily? Maybe it should be suggested that this be included in the preventative health program for our country...it's surely a cost-effective way of staying healthy rather than getting well, naturally.
