Is your body the ideal environment for disease or health?


Today, I was reading an article by Dr Tyson Perez on the connection between vaccines and cancer. In it he said this...

"Claude Bernard, considered the Father of Experimental Medicine and a contemporary of Louis Pasteur, once said so eloquently that "[t]he terrain is everything; the germ is nothing." Following this pronouncement, he is said to have gulped down a glass of water filled with cholera without getting sick. This demonstration was a bold attempt to prove that individuals with a healthy internal environment and a robust immune system provide an inhospitable environment for pathogenic germs and are unlikely to succumb to illness while those who are malnourished and toxic provide a diseased terrain which is far more likely to be inhabited by disease causing microorganisms."

The question to ask yourself is this: Are you an ideal host for disease or are you creating an internal environment that is so healthy disease cannot survive? My goal is the latter.

Another saying is this: "Genetics load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger" 

While genetics play a role they are not a guarantee. If your parents/grandparents suffered from a disease I advise that you learn everything about that disease and how to prevent it. For example, my grandmother is now dealing with Parkinson's and my grandfather had dementia in his final years. I have taken seminars on these subjects, read books and will continue to do so. I am now doing everything I know to do as far as preventing neurodegeneration in the brain. I am also advising my own parents on what to do to prevent these diseases as well. While there still may be a chance that I or my parents develop these diseases, I want to have the peace that I did everything I could to prevent them for the love of my parents and of my future children. 

My hope is that you will give this some thought and apply this kind of thinking in your own life. It is never to late to start generating a healthy environment in your body. God created an amazing capacity for healing within you. You can do it!

Blessings!
