The Body's Immune System
The body's immune system can be affected by many things and it's responsible
for many things as well. When the immune system is weakened either from
particular diseases, poor health, or poor nutrition and eating habits, many
health problems can occur. There are a variety of diseases, conditions and
syndromes these days, which can all be traced back to some sort of
problem with the immune system. Some of these conditions are said to be caused
by the immune system over reacting, but there may be more to it than just
that.
The human body does not act sporadically or randomly. There is always a
purpose with what it does and usually the primary purpose is to try and keep
the body alive - at all costs. So when the immune system starts doing things
that seem like it's over reacting, it may actually be reacting to other
stimulus or problems deeper within and all we're seeing are some of the
results of what it's trying to do.
There are many excellent examples of the body trying it's best to keep the
body alive, despite people's best attempts to do otherwise. When someone is
trying to lose weight, for instance, they may try starving themselves as a way
to shed weight quickly. In their mind the problem with their weight is an over
abundance of food, so by eliminating foods they should theoretically begin to
lose weight.
And this can work, if you're supplying your body with proper nutrition in some
way. This is why juice fasts can help people lose weight. If you simply try to
starve yourself though, and drink just water or tea but take no nutrition of
any kind, your body will stubbornly hold on to every ounce of weight it can.
Why? Because it thinks you're in starvation mode, so it's trying to keep you
alive until the famine passes.
Another example is similar, but it happens with lack of water. Your body will
conserve water - even at the expense of you getting kidney stones and kidney
infections - if you're not drinking as much as it needs every day. The body
assumes that since you're not getting enough, you must not have a readily
available source of it, thus it needs to conserve as much as it can to keep
you alive.
Yet another example focuses on the bodies immune system itself. There are many
skin conditions which millions of people have. These are chronic conditions
which often cause problems all throughout a person's life. Conditions such as
psoriasis and eczema for instance, all look as if the body's immune system is
simply over reacting to some kind of trigger. So the body starts producing
skin cells at much faster rates than normal.
Herbal and natural remedy specialists however, have found that by treating the
entire body as if there's an illness or disease deep inside and cleansing the
internal organs and waste disposal systems, help the body's immune system to
get back into balance. This in turn stops the skin related problems.
