The Detox Miracle Sourcebook: Raw Foods and Herbs for Complete Cellular Regeneration

(Barré) #1

Now you can see how a cell “acts like” and is “created like” a city. All the
worlds (creations) of God are just a mirror reflection of each other, from the
macrocosm (the largest “world”) to the microcosm (the smallest).


To understand the nature of your cells, it’s also important to understand
the different ways that nutrients or elements can enter through the cell
membrane wall. Basically, there are two conditions diffusion or osmosis that
allow this process to happen.


How Nutrients Enter the Cells

DIFFUSION


Molecules or substances move from a higher or greater concentration of
particles into a lesser concentration in a solution. A common example of this
is how a concentrated sugar cube disperses in a glass of water.


OSMOSIS


This is a type of diffusion in which molecules or substances move from a less
concentrated solution to a higher or more concentrated solution or fluid.
Osmosis and the rate of osmosis depend upon several factors that facilitate
this action. First and primarily, the osmotic pressures on each side of the cell
membrane wall. Secondly, the permeability of the membrane. Thirdly, the
electrical potential across the membrane wall and its pores.


A great percentage of osmosis and “facilitated” diffusion requires an
“active transporter.” An active transporter simply means that a “carrier” or
“transporter” (like a bus) is used to assist the movement of a molecule or
substance through a cell membrane wall. An example of this is insulin, which
is a carrier or transporter of glucose into a cell. Note that this type of activity
requires a small amount of energy since this is an active transport, not a
passive one. This energy comes from the cell mitochondria in the form of
ADP (adenosine di-phosphate), which comes from stored ATP (adenosine
triphosphate). A carrier or transporter can be a hormone, protein, steroid or
mineral.


When you are seeking true healing, health and vitality, therefore, you
must think cellularly. Healing must happen at the cellular level for true,
lasting health and vitality to exist. Spiritually speaking, all life, no matter how
small or how large (atoms to universes and everything in between), when
manifested physically, must have a mental body (mind portion) and an
emotional body (astral portion). This is true for each of your cells, as well as
