for all plants, all animals, and your entire body. A great example is
documented by Christopher Bird and Tom Hopkins in their book The Secret
Life of Plants, which tells about the ability of plants to feel and remember.
These abilities become more obvious in animals, and more so with human
beings.
Cells respond to external stimuli not only from hormones, minerals,
sugars, proteins and the like; their ability to function is greatly affected by the
body’s pH factors (acidosis), by congestion, types of foods consumed, and
chemical consumption. They also respond to thoughts and emotions
(feelings). The types of thoughts and feelings you have, harbor or carry
around with you play a major role in cellular functioning. To enjoy a state of
total health and vitality it is necessary to clean (detoxify) your body, your
mind and your emotions, and thus set yourself free.
As the initial parent cell divides, tissues are formed, then organs and
glands, and so on. There are two types of cell division—meiosis and mitosis.
Through meiosis and mitosis the body grows and repairs itself. Let’s now
examine the grouping of cells called tissues.
Types of Cell DivisionMEIOSIS
A cell divides with only half of the chromosomes of the related somatic or
non-reproductive cell. (These cells replace.)
MITOSIS
Cells divide each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent, or
somatic cell. (These cells create.)
MODULE 2.4
TissuesMost of your individual cells are grouped together to form tissues. Then
tissues can be grouped together to form organs and glands. There are four
primary types of tissues that comprise, line, support, protect or control the
basic structures of your body.
