Guest guest Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I'm new to this list and have been following it on and off for some time. There are two versions of what causes illnesses - the Germ Theory championed by Louis Pasteur and The Terrain Theory of Andre Beauchamp. Everyone is familiar with the first theory, but few are aware of the second, which has been identified the pH balance as the key factor in keeping the proper healthy terrain of the whole body. Dr. Young has identified a healthy blood pH level at 7.365. Read more at http://www.manataka.org/page1496.html or google " terrain theory " My take in a nutshell is that we are all exposed to toxins, diseases, viruses, etc., but when a cross section of people are exposed to the same potential problem, some will not be affected. Their internal makeup makes them appear as " Teflon " to those things that would stick onto them and make them less well. Therefore, if you can find the root cause for decreased suceptibility to attacks from any form of pathogen, you can work to increase your possibility for a healthier outcome in an encounter with many (or possibly most) of what life can throw at you. If you don't, the cartoon that has a sailor in a boat with a large hole in it attempting to keep it afloat by bailing the incoming water with a child's pail, tells it all. And recent events show that the conditions that would impinge on our well-being are becoming more rather than less. Dr Jerry Tennant, an alternative practicioner from Dallas has written a very well researched book entitled " Healing is Voltage " , and is based on the work he did to bring himself back to wellness from serious medical problems. I will attempt to do justice to a very broad subject in a very few words, and would suggest that if you are interested, learn more by reading his book, googling him and also checking out his youtubes and his website. Remember that this is just my interpretation of what I understand and that I am not offering medical advice. Dr Tennant equates the alkalinity of the body to a body or cellular voltage, and makes a very good case for illnesses (chronic and acute) as being due to a lack of electrons (Voltage) that are required for cellular repair and regeneration to occur. A cellular voltage too positive (lack of electrons) equates to an acid environment, which is well known to create all sorts of chronic disorders. For instance, Healthy adult body voltage is -25mv (pH=7.44), -50mv (pH=7.88) is required to create new cells, you become tired at -15mv (pH=7.26), sick at -10mv (pH=7.18) and cancer occurs at +30mv (pH=6.48) The body is able to draw electrons from the food we eat, the water we drink, from the use of our muscles, and from a direct connection to the earth. He has also created a device that is able to measure the levels of voltage in the body, and act as a supply of electrons to supplement a deficient level. He has created a model of the body as being electronically based with similarities to semi-conductors (transistors, etc) and electronic circuit analogies. He has created a " map " of energetic pathways and " crossroads " that are based on his study of various energetic systems, that connect to organ pairs that operate as a " team " . To help understand how cells work, he makes an analogy to computers, both of which have: Hardware - the fats, proteins, carbohydrates, etc. used to make the physical components of the cells Voltage - the cellular computers need -20 millivolts to work. Chronic disease is always accompanied by low voltage Software He also makes a very good case for the fact that we become what we eat. What we eat is what the body rebuilds itself with, and if you don't have the proper raw materials, you can't build proper replacement cells. There are many views about the long term effects of what we eat, but his take is that " near plastic " fats (such as margarine), produces are unable to function (electronically) as they should. Building hormones that should be based on Iodine but instead are based on a more readily available and aggressive Fluoride, create a situation that just doesn't work. The oxygen available to create the energy that we need to run our bodies is reduced when our pH balance (Voltage) is low, and the production of energy in our cells can be reduced by a factor as high as 19, robbing our bodies of much needed energy. The factors he mentions that influence our wellness (not necessarily in this order and not necessarily a complete list) include: Dental health - a single root canal can reduce your immune system by 65%. There are no healthy root canals and the path to better wellness is to remove them. Same goes for amalgam fillings, as they have been shown to continue to release mercury into the body. Removal must be done in a way that protects the patient and the dentist and assistant. Unfortunately, earlier removals or repairs may have created pockets of infection in the gums as the places where the teeth used to be. Teeth are related to the body organs, so a problem in a certain part of your body may be related to a problem at the associated tooth. For instance, the heart and circulatory system are linked to the Wisdom teeth. Emotions - " Emotions are a constant companion of illness. Most people believe that the emotional makeup of a person cannot be changed. That simply isn't true. The following things can dramatically change the happiness and health of people: Change the emotional maladaptations programmed during fetal perios with Pre-Natal Re-Imprinting Correct thyroid levels Correct neurochmicals with phytoplankton Give Adrenal support Correct voltages of the body's " Bioterminals " " Hypothroidism - The widespread use of Fluoride in municipal water and dental products may be sufficient to create a situation where a normally functioning thyroid is " shut down " . " Hyptothyroidism Type 2 " by Mark Starr relates to how the creation of Thyroid hormones based on Fluorine instead of Iodine create problems that show themselves as Hypothyroidism Type 1, Heart Disease, Diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol (among others). Even though blood tests of Thyroid hormones may be " normal " , people develop nodules that show that the thyroid is not working as it should. In addition, the importance of Iodine is stressed, and the lack of Iodine in almost everyone's daily diet helps to create this problem, and numerous other problems that affect our wellness. For instance, every organ that secretes a hormone requires Iodine to function properly. Iodine can be obtained through adding seaweed or from the liquid or capsule form of Lugol's Solution. Adrenal Depletion due to Hypothroidism Inflammation and other cellular (and even dna) damage due to the actions of Free Radicals created by Heavy Metal Contamination from dental amalgams and other sources, pesticides and other chemicals, and nuclear or other sources(even normal body processes) Smoking Don't do it. Also note the recent reports on deaths from second-hand smoke. There's so much more, but this post is already lengthy. I understand that one size doesn't fit all, but my hope is that something in this message may shed a bit of light, or become a " jumping-off " point to a better tomorrow, for someone who reads it.
