Principle Six: The Cell Talkers

Talk, Talk, Talk. Take your cordless home phone and start talking to your best friend. Really get into it. Talk about all the personal stuff. Learn, keep learning and keep talking. But as you are talking, start walking farther and farther from the home base of the phone; you will start to lose and then lose the signal completely. 

Your body and its cells are no different. They are in contact with you, and it is on a very personal basis. It is not just physical; it is also mental, emotional and spiritual. When you get too far from your center, you get static and eventually the connection is lost.

Your cells talk with you partly through established connections such as the blood, lymph and myofascial fluid planes. But there also is a surreal element that is best described as electromagnetic.
What is the cell talk?  From a physiological basis, it is messengers sending back coded signals. The messengers are called hormones and cytokines. We easily can name the big hormones such as thyroid, adrenaline, estrogen and testosterone.

But the cytokines are varied, and they are everywhere. They also have a commander, a growth hormone called the master cytokine (or TGF-ß). While there are several others, this one largely determines our biological age.

It is best that the commander has a close tie to home base because the messages it sends are very specific, not general. Your body’s Healing Response will always do the most specific and exacting biological response to correct problems based on its knowledge, experience and resources. For example, if the body needs a certain kind of fatty acid to repair a membrane, sending a glycerol molecule is not going to be the solution.

In The Healing Response, chapter 6, this important principle is further discussed, but the Reader’s Digest version is that enzymes – oral proteolytic enzyme therapy – are key to cellular communication. Without enzymes, there are no more words to this sentence; you are dead. With a properly operating enzyme system, emphasis proteolytic, the cytokines move about quickly and effective. They are able to exchange messages and keep your system running. 

There are multiple products on the market, usually categorized as digestive enzymes or anti-inflammatory enzymes. Choose the latter. It is this category of enzymes that keys the communication process. Look for products containing bromelain, papain, trypsin and chymotrypsin. The European experience is collectively and individually behind these formulae.

When tuning up your transmitters and receivers, there is another hidden factor that keys proper communication. This is the mineral zinc. We all know about minerals, especially as they relate to bones (calcium) and muscles (magnesium), but for communications and energy systems, your body needs zinc (20-30 mg/d).

Most of us do not get enough zinc unless we are into nuts, dark green vegetables or take a general multiple vitamin with minerals. It is recommended that you take 20-30 mg of zinc several times a week to assure ample supply for your communication systems.
