Cells already function automatically. However, hormones, steroids,
neurotransmitters, serotonin, etc., influence them. These substances create a
reaction in tissue (cells) that make them respond or react in a particular
manner, depending upon the initial thought or emotion. A good example of
this is fear. If you see something that terrifies you, your adrenal glands will
produce adrenaline (epinephrine) to stimulate the heart and blood flow, and
to encourage muscle movement. This gives you much added strength and
energy to run or fight. The adrenal gland first got its message to release
adrenaline from the brain, which received its message through your
awareness.
Cells respond to stimuli. This can have positive results or negative results
depending upon the source of the stimuli. As I have reinforced throughout
this book, the foods you eat, what you drink, breathe, and what you put on
your skin, can have a positive and enhancing effect or a negative effect upon
cells, tissues, organs or glands. A negative effect can cause hypoactivity of
cells and their respective tissues. These negative influences can even kill cells.
As your cells become weakened or die, they can change their
morphology (function). They can be invaded by parasites to finish them off,
and/or be consumed by an immune cell and thus eliminated.
As this process of cellular deterioration takes place, your body as a whole
begins to suffer. This creates a domino effect causing a change in the way
your body functions. These many changes are like signs. Linked together
they become a body “language” for you or your healthcare practitioner to
read. If you are observant and learn about your body’s language or
communication methods, you will be able to determine what organs and
glands are failing you. This module should be used in conjunction with
Module 5.12, Health Questionnaire, which concludes this chapter. That
Questionnaire will allow you to reflect upon various bodily processes and
systems, and to pinpoint their weaknesses.
For now, the lists that follow are some “body language” cues, or side
effects, that I have learned in my thirty-plus years of experience as a
healthcare practitioner. Some of these might sound like diseases to you, but
they are merely the effects of organ or glandular weaknesses and failures.
