YOUR TRUE HEALTH

First we'll have to understand each of the components of the statement “YOUR TRUE HEALTH”. There're three separate words in the statement I'd want us to examine.

1. YOUR: You Ought Understand Responsibility

Responsibility is defined as the state or fact of having a duty to deal with something or of having control over something or someone (in this case yourself) or the state or fact of being accountable or to blame for something. This simply means that you must and you alone can take responsibility of your health because only you can feel your pains and only your body can heal itself. No doctor and no drug anywhere in the world can heal your body. Your body is well designed and efficiently equipped to heal without drugs. You were designed to heal by NATURE if only you know that and would allow your body to heal itself naturally.

The one who designed the body has equipped your body with everything and every means to maintain health and stay healthy. That's why your body is self-healing, self-regenerating and self-regulating. It has the power to repair and recover from all dis-ease no matter the perceived ailment or infection.

Your liver is your project manager designed to neutralize all poisons, destroy and discard every pathogenic microbe and viruses as well as their antigens and virulence factors, toxins and/or other by-products regardless of the type and that includes hepatitis viruses.

The liver performs over 500 functions in the body including the three basic and most important functions; (i) Synthesis and Secretion, for example, body proteins including the globulins in hemoglobin and antibodies that react to squelch and neutralize antigens. (ii) Detoxification of harmful chemicals, drugs and toxins (poisons) and (iii) Excretion/Elimination via bile.

The liver is often regarded as an accessory organ of the digestive system but the liver is the key to digestion and energy production. Though the parietal cells of the stomach secrete the hydrochloric acid (HCl) required in breaking down proteins and preventing infections that will not be possible without the liver producing the component enzymes and cofactors to catalyze those chemical reactions. Moreover, the liver also produces bile to emulsify lipids and without the HCl and bile mixing in the duodenum to cause the sizzle that perfectly breakdown foods into chime to release the nutrients, digestion becomes impossible. This is one reason most people are complaining of so called ulcer and are subjected to unnecessary ulcer treatments when in actual sense they don’t have ulcer but rather suffering from indigestion and malabsorption due to low HCl and lack of bile or lack of bile flow. When food is not digested, nutrients are not release and malnutrition becomes the order of the day even in the midst of plenty. Another major problem could be dysbiosis (imbalance in the communities of your normal microflora or the resident bacteria and yeast in the gut) with its resultant reactive brush border and hyperpermeability of the gut (leaky gut) due to inflammation created by the conditions of indigestion and immune responses to unhealthy opportunistic and pathogenic influences as well as hyperosmolarity, mucosal erosion and loss of the tight junction that affects the liver causing fatty liver sequel to the gut inflammation. To make matters worse in the colon is constipation due to dehydration.

The liver serves as the filter and processing plant for the products of digestion and digested foods since it’s positioned as the first organ to receive the digested solution via the hepatic portal vein before the nutrients can have access into the blood circulation. The absorbed substances are first screened by the liver before entry into the circulation. So, the liver serves as a gatekeeper to ensure no abusive or harmful or dangerous (toxic) substance finds its way into the systemic blood else a condition known as TOXEMIA (poisoned blood) will occur. Toxemia is the main cause of Ecrampsia aqnd the reason why many pregnant women die during labour. It’s a condition of malnutrition and multiple nutritional deficiency. Let me also say at this point, that morning sickness is not a sign of pregnancy rather it’s a sign of malnutrition and dis-ease. The pregnant woman throws up because the body is already so dirty and overloaded with toxins not necessarily reacting to hormonal imbalance, and that also affects the liver so much that it’s not able to replenish the blood sugar after the long fast during sleeping at night, so, in the morning, the blood sugar is very low and that triggers vomiting as the woman becomes nauseated at the smell of anything around her or when attempting to eat anything in the morning because the body is still struggling to clean up and wouldn’t want any interference or anything coming in.

When the liver is healthy, our gut is healthy and we are healthy. But when the liver is weak, our gut is weak and our body enters into a healing crisis trying to clean up, heal and recover and at such times we say we are sick experiencing MALARIA, TYPHOID, etc. When we eventually develop CANCER it simply means the gut and liver are exhausted and that is why most persons with cancer hardly survive. But they can still survive without drugs (chemotherapy), radiation and surgery instead with adequate nutrition and detoxification.

Let me say at this juncture that no malaria parasite anywhere in the world cause MALARIA or MALARIA FEVER. MALARIA is simply the result of a weakened liver when we abuse the liver with fatty foods (especially trans fats and refined oils wrecking havoc in omega3 and omega6 ratio and causing fatty degeneration) and sugar (especially refined sugars like corn syrups overloaded with fructose. However, the liver is activated by BITTERS, which is the reason the early malarial drugs were designed as bitters. The truth is that taking any of the bitter alkaloids in plants, for example, Vernonia amygdalina “Onugbu” or Azadirachta indica “Dogonyaro” or Artemisia absinthium (the common wormwood) will activate or stimulate the liver to clean out the parasites, which works even better than the antimalarial drugs. It's not the drugs that kill the parasites and clean up the blood, it’s the liver itself. Again, the bitterness stimulates the liver to pour out bile while Kupffer cells swing into action as detoxification is optimized (see below for basic functions of the kupffer cells).

Remember that when the liver is down the whole body is weak because the blood is poisoned including every other vital organ like kidneys, brain, lungs, heart and even the gut.

The commonest disease of the liver is hepatitis, which simply means inflammation of the liver. The major cause of hepatitis is not virus but FATTY LIVER. Unfortunately, about 8 out of 10 adults in Nigeria are currently battling FATTY LIVER at some different stages without even knowing it and some may notice it only when it has degenerated into cirrhosis (a condition in which the liver is scarred and permanently damaged). Never mind, cirrhosis can still be reversed if you’re luck to do the needful on time.  

What is/are the main cause(s) of FATTY LIVER?

(I) Alcohol

(ii) Sugar especially refined sugars in syrups like corn syrup overloaded with FRUCTOSE (Fruit Sugar)

(iii) Inflammation and leaky gut or hyperpermeability of the gut

Unfortunately, FATTY LIVER is non-druggable because no chemical drug anywhere in the world can reverse it except food. That means it's not druggable but foodable only.

(Our product EMUCOPRO and recipe is a solution for healthy GUT to reverse FATTY LIVER. You can contact us on WhatsApp +234-8067084123 for your order).

Note that no drug can reverse this condition and therefore, no doctor can take your place and responsibility to eat right. It's all your responsibility to eat to prevent it and regenerate new cells to repair, heal and recover your liver. And if you acquired it due to lack of knowledge and it's killing you, don't worry, it can still be reversed only if you accept to take responsibility of your health to eat only what your body needs to repair and heal to sustain the zest. Never be deceived to fall a victim to chronic drug abuse.

Food for thought:

 Jeremiah 46:11

(King James Version)

11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; for thou shalt not be cured.

I'm sure you now understand why you should take charge and responsibility of your health. Because no one else can/will do it for you.

Let's now consider the second word "TRUE"

2. TRUE: Take Responsibility Understanding/Uncovering Environment.

This is called science and that's basically what scientists do trying to understand NATURE and the creative powers of NATURE and its abundant supply of natural resources.

No man can survive without the environment. No matter how unfriendly you may perceive the environment, it remains your only source of energy. Forget the old GERM and GENE theories focus on the new PROBIOTICS and FOOD philosophy and facts not myths. Once upon a time they told us to beware of GERMS that they cause infections killing you and then they introduced ANTIBIOTICS, which are blind bullets killing both pathogens and normal cells. But we now advocate PROBIOTICS, which are friendly live bacteria and yeasts that confer health benefits by helping to replenish our normal microflora. Without these beneficial microbes, you and I will not be living today. Then they switched to GENES labeling them as cause of most dis-ease conditions and hereditary transfers from parents to their offsprings. But we know better now that ENVIRONMENT is more influential than the genes and that most conditions considered as hereditary diseases are simply the consequence of malnutrition and multiple nutritional deficiencies whose acclaimed paths of hereditary can be truncated by ADEQUATE OPTIMAL NUTRITION and SUPPLEMENTATION to restore the METABOLIC balance giving the missing nutrients. And so, you need those “germs” to live. Yet they stopped us from eating the soil even when we are products of the soil but now they recommend “Humus” and we’re returning to EARTHING for HEALING. The ABAKILIKI SALT, which is a SEA SALT they told you to abandon because it doesn’t have IODINE is the same SEA SALT that is imported. Moreover, since you switched to the so called IODIZED SALT you have now developed GOITER because the excess artificial iodine inhibits the conversion of your T4 to T3 in the liver as more resistant T3 is produced and your thyroid continues to weep struggling to function. That is just by the way.

The journey of life began with LIGHT (Photons). The Sun (lights the day) and the Moon (lights the night).

A little elementary chemistry of life (biochemistry) enabled us to know that the plants manufacture all food for the animals and humans by tapping the sunlight energy with the aid of its chlorophyll and absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air via stomata on its leaves and extracting water (H2O) and minerals from the soil using its roots hairs. The carbon dioxide and water are then chemically combined to form Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2). The oxygen is then utilized by animals and humans during respiration to burn the carbohydrate. In other words, whenever you eat and respire, you're simply burning glucose to carbon dioxide and water. If your respiration (oxidation rate) is fast, you'll burn glucose very rapidly and remain thin but if your oxidation state is slow, you may find it difficult burning glucose and each time you consume excess carbohydrates, your body will simply store the extra as fat.

Your Environment has major influences on your genes (Epigenetics) and your risk for cancer is about 95% determined by your Environment rather than your Genes.

Besides AIR and WATER, FOOD is a major environment we must understand and appropriate correctly according to the body/metabolic type because your body is simply made of FOOD, AIR and WATER codes.

So FOOD is a major determinant of HEALTH. The right food for your metabolic type will keep you healthy while the wrong food will be killing you.

Permit me to say that your food is killing you.

So, we have a duty for our existence on planet earth. And this duty is to keep us healthy when we adhere to the principles of NATURE.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

In the King James Version of the Bible, Genesis 2:15 states, "And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it".

Everyone is expected to keep a garden and dress it. This act will provide surplus healthy foods for your wellbeing. So, what you grow in your garden and how you grow them matters, which has led us to a new concept of ORGANIC

Now let's look at the last word HEALTH

3. HEALTH: Happy Environment Appeals/Achieves Living That Healing.

Remember I told you that the body is self-healing, self-regenerating and self-regulating. So, for the body to heal itself, it must reside in a happy environment free of physical, chemical and emotional stress.

Consider "Living That Healing" it provides no room for dis-ease or sickness and that is true because what you refer to as sickness is nothing but a healing crisis. So, the body never gets sick. It only revolves in cycles of health. In between the cycles of health is the state of healing crisis, which many mistakenly call sickness. It's a time when the body hibernates and attempts to clean out old cell, the cell debris and wastes, and then regenerates new cells to replace the worn out ones. During this time major processes of the body are shut down including digestion (the body turns to the stored energy source which is fat and utilize it for energy during the healing state) and the energy is reserved for detoxification and elimination instead of digestion (that is the reason why you have loss of appetite). In this process, the body also takes time to rest, which it always cry for but you will not let it, and hence the concentration of the energy on smooth muscles (to clean and regenerate tissues) rather than skeletal muscles makes you feel weak and fatigue, etc. Don’t mistake this for the fatigue you feel after exercise or when your hit the wrong codes by giving the body the wrong foods or having consumed excess calories that rob you your mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are deeply involved in your energy levels because they are your kitchen furnace where the final and actual cooking happens to generate Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP) molecules, which are high energy packets. These Mitochondria are very abundant in your liver. Automatically when your liver is weak you could also experience general body weakness and tiredness since you also have Mitochondrial Dysfunction and might have lost a good number of your Mitochondria. That is the connection.

This perceived condition of a sudden onset of the healing crisis is termed ACUTE and once the clean up exercise is completed your body bounce back even without any medication. Unfortunately, because you follow the conventional orthodox medical practice, which is rooted in fear rather than faith thus promoting drug therapy over food therapy that allows and enable your body to undertake the natural healing path, you hurriedly thwart the natural healing process by introducing drugs, which masks the condition with a pseudo relief but postpones the day of reckoning, which overtimes reappear or relapse becoming worse and is regarded as CHRONIC. After several ACUTE phases have become a CHRONIC dis-ease, the condition worsens and may never respond to any drug. Eventually, DEATH knocks on the door and that is common in most chronic degenerative dis-ease.

The message is that only you can take responsibility for your health to live in a happy environment and ensure your body heals with the right foods. No drug and no doctor will do that for you

Food for thought

 Jeremiah 8:22

King James Version

22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

In the King James Version of the Bible, Genesis 1:29 states, "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat".

In this verse, the Creator describes what humans are to eat for longevity, to remain strong and healthy to keep the garden on earth. The verse states that humans can eat the SEEDS (seeds, nuts, grains, legumes) of Vegetables and Fruits of all the Plants (Grasses and Trees) that are Natural and matching the fabrics of your make up not strange synthetic chemicals that your body perceive as threats. The synthetic drugs cannot serve as building materials for the cellular architecture to regenerate the cells and tissues instead they destroy them.

SO, IF YOU DREAM WELLNESS, LONGEVITY AND OPTIMUM HEALTH

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR TRUE HEALTH

Thank you.

BASIC THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE KUPFFER CELLS AND YOUR LIVER FUNCTION

WHAT ARE KUPFFER CELLS

Kupffer cells are macrophages (with high phagocytic and pinocytic capabilities) in the liver that play a critical role in maintaining liver function. They are located in the hepatic sinusoids, where they can migrate along hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells to efficiently and effectively remove foreign materials, pathogens, cell debris and apoptotic cells. They can also reach the space of Disse, which is a thin space in the liver between the hepatocytes (liver cells) and the sinusoidal lumen. The nonparenchymal cells including the hepatic stellate cells, kupffer cells, pit cells and biliary epithelial cells reside in this space of Disse.

Kupffer cells can be activated by different components. When activated, they secrete various mediators including cytokines and chemokines to initiate immune responses, inflammation, and recruitment of other liver cells. They can also differentiate into M1-like (classical) or M2-like (alternative) macrophages. And their metabolism determines their functions in the liver damage.

BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE KUPFFER CELLS

1. They protect the liver from bacteria, viruses and other foreign materials as the first line of defense and innate immune cells.

2. They manage inflammation by secreting mediators that regulate inflammation and homeostasis.

3. They help to repair the liver and preventing liver damage by removing pathogens and clearing endotoxins produced by gut bacteria.

4. They help the body in maintaining its iron levels.

5. They act as Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) by presenting antigens to activate T cells. And they contribute to immune tolerance been able to identify non-self antigens.
