MANY WAYS PLASTIC ENTER OUR BODY SYSTEMS

..,disrupts hormones, causing  health  problems

...cleansing body of plastic contamination

PLASTIC ENTRY
Almost on daily basis, micro-plastics, nano-plastics, Bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates are entering into the bodies of people especially those living in hot climates
How? Some of the ways include but not limited to:

1. Drinks – water, soft drinks, ice creams sold in satchets and bottles. People usually buy ice cold ones - very chilled. But before they are refrigerated, in many shops and storage places, the heat from the direct rays of the sun or in the place they are kept or even during transportation touch the plastics. This causes some chemical substance(s) the plastic is made with to seep into to the drink inside. But before people drink them, they are usually refrigerated. So, the drink may be very cold but it may be very chilled slow poison. Since lots of people take such drinks in plastic containers  on regular basis, you can imagine the level of plastics that can get into a person’s bloodstream. That is apart from the possibility of substances that are health hazardous that some commercially-produced drinks are made with.  Until about two decades ago in Nigeria, soft drinks were sold in  glass bottles. But the bottles have to be returned after taking liquid content or empty glass bottles were exchanged for the bottled drinks. This was no doubt inconveniencing and humans are always  seeking convenience, which is okay.  It is just that people tend not to give serious consideration to the health implications of what is convenient.

2. Bathing water from plastic drums, tanks, pipes under the sun – the human body has pores through which  elements or compounds in water  constantly poured on the skin can enter the bloodstream. 

3. Plastic sponges  used for bathing.

4. Blender – After some period of constantly using a blender, the heat being generated may gradually cause leaching of plastic into the food or drink.

5. Packaged or take-away foods are usually put in plastics

6. By now, many people should know they ought not put food to be micro-waved in plastic but some still do if the food is already in a plastic container. Even some care-givers put plastic baby feeding bottles in warm or hot water to  make the baby food warm.

7. When people go to  grind certain food items at a public grinding mill, they usually collect the grinded item with the heat generated in a plastic container, sometimes polythene bags called nylon. To reduce leached plastic, don’t cover or seal or use a non-plastic, more durable container

8. Solid or liquid food kept in plastic container in enclosed places even refrigerators  with constant prolonged power outages. For instance, corn or guinea-corn pap kept in a covered plastic would generate heat if no refrigeration. Even if kept in the refrigerator and there are power outages for days,  the refrigerator loses the coolness. This would generate  heat which can leach some of the plastic elements into the pap. When electricity is restored and it becomes cool again, the pap would likely have been contaminated with plastic elements or compounds. It should be better to use a porcelain(not in a freezer) to put the pap in the refrigerator. It may also be better to remove the cover when no coolness in the refrigerator or keep the pap out of a refrigerator, leave uncovered and change the water on the surface regularly.

THE HEALTH IMPLICATIONS OF PLASTICS
Being conscious can  reduce the quantity of plastics unknowingly leached into our body systems. Practices on this concerning infants should of course be stopped.  We may not be totally able to stop plastics from getting into our systems as adults.
Leached plastic in the body system disrupts the hormones. For instance, they may cause fertility related issues- not just difficulty in conceiving and birthing children but myriad of health problems for both male and female that may seem  unexplainable.

Currently, there are not enough researches to prove that plastic loads in the body cause cancers, renal or hepatic problems. But  plastics are no doubt impurities in the body. When they get into the body, they are very harmful to health, particularly to the blood.

A healthy liver expectedly separates  the plastic to the kidneys for expulsion. But this is stressful to the liver and even more so to the kidney(s) – these plastic substances were never meant to enter the body at all and their exit from the body may be slow or take time.

SOLUTION
A plastic detox would be necessary as presence of the plastic elements or compounds in the blood can cause problems ranging from diabetes to High Blood Pressure to  body aches. If the plastic loads is much, it obstructs blood flow and can also cause a stroke or even cardiac issues.

You can use food – edibles to do plastic detox regularly.

1. Most of the edible seeds e.g.   chia seeds help in plastic detox. Seeds from truly organic plants are very effective.

2.Edible chelators like tamarind also help in plastic detox.

To treat serious cases of plastic contamination,  do consult with a professional health care provider.  If there is delay in getting the healthcare, taking
- truly clean water,
- chewing edible organic-grown edible leaves, - - taking pure natural honey - and/or truly natural oil like coconut oil can bring some relief or alleviate the pain.

PRESERVE YOUR BODY PARTS

Let us always remember this simple health formula

Toxins in – Toxins out = Relief or Good Health

It is NOT

Toxins in – Your Body Part out. In fact  Body Part out is wrong.

God, the Creator, Designer of  the Human Body is NOT stupid. If He intended for body parts to be manually replaced from external sources, He would have made provisions for human body parts to be easily acquired  on earth, not taken from another person.

If at all any damaged part of a human body should be replaced, it should heal, grow back or be regenerated within or from within that body.

Most times, when the thing(s) causing the damage(s) to any part of the body  is stopped, the healing process(which is inbuilt) starts.

It is when a person’s  body part is damaged or severed due to an accident, that it would be right to fix it back on the owner’s body. The life in that body if kept in good health will bring back to life that body part that was severed and fixed back.

On internal body parts like the kidney(s), liver, if damaged, please allow those organs to heal through the life-giving ability of the body – just ensure that body is maintained to be in good health.

Human body parts should not be merchandise.

If however pressured to remove an ailing body part that you were told is damaged, insist on taking your removed body part home with you. Since they said it is completely damaged, of what use is it to them?

A damaged body part left in the owner’s body can be regenerated back to life and function again as long as the owner chooses to live in good health NATURALLY.

But pray consistently because there are things causing ill-health to the body that may have been overlooked or unknown preventing recovery.  The Spirit of God can help reveal these things.

SEEDS CAN SAFEGUARD HUMAN HEALTH

...this is God-given solution

Major solution to the health problems of humanity is in seeds -plant seeds. 

Gen.1.29 - And God said, See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the land and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food.

The less unadulterated – naturally produced a plant  and seeds are, the more effective in maintaining good health or restoring health (by removing  toxic substances that cause ill-health from the body).

Many plant seeds are no longer as effective for achieving good health as they should have been because they have been messed up, adulterated over time.

There is even subtle attempts to keep seeds  out of the reach of people generally - make seeds scarce and controlled by few. 

God made good health simple but  humans have made it so complex in the bid to rip off other humans.

Ensure your health and well-being is not ripped off. The further humanity moves away from the natural order of food production, the closer and closer to health disasters.

Someday the full truth about using  plants and seeds for good health would unfold.

Meanwhile, when you have seeds from plants that have been naturally grown, plant some and keep some  - they are health treasures – when humans are tired of being sick and tired, they will opt for  simple  God-given solutions.

Your desire should be to preserve lives not turn  the damaging of human  bodies into merchandise to cash out on.

SOME OVERLOOKED CAUSES OF DIABETES

Some concerned persons usually express worry  over the possibility of Diabetes when  an adult constantly eats sweet foods even organic-grown fresh foods.

But know what? Truly organic sweet or sugary foods or truly natural sugar doesn’t cause Type 2 or Type 1 Diabetes. Do not also conclude that a person is suffering or experiencing Diabetics symptoms because it is hereditary. Even if inherited, a carrier of such in the genes need not ever experience such throughout life.

Why then has there been so much occurrence of Diabetes in recent times even among youths, teenagers, little children, infants?

ANSWER: People have been inadvertently  cooperating with the world to damage their human bodies through things accepted without thinking deep, even things seemingly enjoyable. 

How? In so many ways but let’s explore few in relation to our body health and in particular to Diabetes

1. Regular exposure to  Bisphenol A (BPA)  in plastic food or drink containers, low grade inks from POS machines or cash  register receipts, inks on some containers for edibles  especially satchets,  disposable bags.

We should already know that when plastic containers including what we call ‘nylon’ get heated, there is leaching of some synthetic substances they contain into the food, especially drinks. Even the use of plastic overhead tanks  in some hot-climate countries as reservoir to store water in many homes, hotels, offices, hospitals, schools poses BPA risks. Also, the water from such overhead tanks are usually passed through plastic pipes to the points of use. 

Anyway some of those plastics may be BPA-free hopefully. Even if BPA-free, what about the other synthetics they contain, hope they won’t be leashed into the water as the plastic constantly gets heated?  

What continuous exposure to BPA, even in very small doses does is that it  causes metabolic disorders – messes up the normal functioning of the body. This does not only cause Diabetes. It may also cause High Blood Pressure for instance.

Even though BPA can be expelled from the body as long as the liver and kidney(s) are still functioning well, it still means these organs and other parts of the body would be regularly stressed. The blood would constantly be adulterated – just think of a car constantly being filled with adulterated fuel. Unlike the car, the human body will keep trying so hard to function well. But most people know how it feels when one’s body is just not feeling okay and you don’t understand the reason(s). You may even have made so many good lifestyle choices but overlooked this. 

The  continual entry of BPA and other toxic substances can lead to insulin resistance therefore  sugar from any food even healthy foods stays in the blood for too long before going to the cells. The BPA and other toxic substances may also damage the Pancreas that produce the insulin necessitating intake of external insulin. 

SOLUTION 

Even if the Pancreas have been damaged, when the cause(s) of a problem in the body is stopped and with truly healthy food and other good lifestyle choices, the body part or tissue has good chances of recovering.

2. Apart from inheriting Diabetes, some studies have also shown that when an unborn child is constantly exposed to BPA during critical developmental stages in pregnancy, it might affect the offspring’s Pancreas later in life. While it is essential for expectant parents to pray for a healthy baby to be birthed, let them also note the possible risks and avoid them. This trend of little children also having to live with and manage Diabetes can be stopped. God is a prayer answering God, He also gives wisdom on what to avoid if people seek the right knowledge.  

SOLUTION

To package foods and drinks  that may be subject to heat, do consider porcelain, glass or stainless steel.Either go for fresh foods or buy packaged foods and drinks in places they are not constantly exposed to heat. 

3.Toxic substances used in food and drinks production can cause insulin resistance and/or damage the Pancreas such that the body does not produce enough insulin for normal functioning 

These toxic substances may be arsenic used in rice production or pesticides used in beans production. They can also be those used in food preservation such as sodium nitrate. As long as anything used in food production or preservation is not recognised by the body as food, it is an invader and would likely disrupts normal functioning if the body before being expelled.  

SOLUTION

Go for organic-produced and preserved foods. You may also check previous write-ups by Farm Cafe on removing toxins from the body. Prevention is always better though. 

4. Toxic air pollutants if constantly inhaled. The toxins in the air will cause inflammation in the lungs. The inflammatory effect can spread through the lungs to the bloodstream  and different organs in the body. This may adversely affect the Pancreas over time affecting the normal production of insulin. Even if the Pancreas is not damaged and insulin production continues, as a result of the constant inflammation, some tissues and cells may become less responsive to insulin causing insulin resistance.

SOLUTION

Avoid this toxic air inhalation as much as possible  - plants generally  but certain ones in particular can reduce or mitigate effects of air pollutants (details to be explored another time)

 

5.Some Medications’ Side Effects – you should read the details on the label or paper slip in any medication you are taking even if recommended. Also discuss with your healthcare professional – anything - food, drinks or medications that nourishes, refreshes or cures but deposits certain substances not recognised by the body as food or not beneficial can possibly cause some dysfunction in that body. More so, if such if such is taken regularly.

6. Hard Substances – heavy alcohol, tobacco and hard drugs constantly inflame the body and can disrupt normal functioning of the body tissues and cells over time which may  lead to Diabetes and/or other health problems. So think of the long-term effects of Chronic Diseases before indulging

WATER - YOUR BODY'S FIRST LINE OF DEFENCE

Water is your  body's first line of defence in  inflammation.

Though acute inflammation is a  natural esponse of the body to something hurtful like injury or infection signalling the body's immune system to solve it, chronic or persistent inflammation portends danger.
Why? Because it is indication that the body is being constantly invaded by substances not meant to enter the body.

These substances get in through toxic substances in food, drinks, air pollution, medications, body care products, even wounds, also possibly through the eyes though not so common.

The most common pathways are the first five - any substance not originally intended by God the Creator of the human body to.enter it can damage the body especially if such substance keeps entering.the body.

Unfortunately, in these times, people arbitrarily use toxic substances in food/drinks production. Even air is constantly arbitrarily polluted. In many countries, it is difficult controlling the usage of these toxic substances in plants and animals for food  especially primary food production - fresh foodstuffs.

Even in the production of processed foods, drinks, medications, body care products manufacturing and in air pollution, that can all be controlled, so many still use or release toxic substances damaging to human health.

In fact in some medications, though thankfully there is indication of negative side effects, for people to know and decide,  but there shouldn't be such negativity in what is produced for human consumption  - doesn't it mean some thing(s) have been done or used in the production of such medical products that can possibly harm the users? Why is that? Why on earth is that deemed proper? Why on earth is that accepted by intelligent human beings? Doesn't  that mean as the medicine cures, it also deposits substances that are toxic to the body that can later harm the body?

The entry of toxic substances inflame the body - flame indicates fire or burning or heat.

What is usually used in quenching fire - Water

So Water is your first line of defence in curbing such inflammation -  drinking water should dilute and reduce the 'burning' in your system. It may not totally solve the problem but would help a lot if the water is truly pure.

Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you urinate, your urine is sort of hot (warm) or you feel a burning sensation or heat while urinating? It means some, if not all of those toxins inflaming (burning in) your  body system  are leaving.

But it will be  really so unfortunate if the water you drink is not actually pure-  free of toxins - it means the water quenching the 'fire' or the burning or heat is also dropping substances that will inflame your body.

So we need to constantly check that water we drink does not have inflammatory effects on our bodies.

Many people now buy drinking water in satchets, bottles, dispensers, jerrycan, drums etc from accredited companies.

Do test the water you regularly buy if not in a lab, at least by watching the effect on your body especially before eating.

Clean water should not inflame the body. If water you buy is not really pure, look for another supplier or purify your own drinking water got from natural source.

When food including water that people take is truly healthy or pure - devoid of toxins, they can keep the body system in good working order.

Even when toxins get in from time to time through other means like medications, body care products, wounds, air pollution, as long as these are not too concentrated, they can be expelled from the body by drinking water and eating healthy.

But what has  exposed the limitations, in fact the questionable side effects in many medications and body care products?

Answer:  Lots of food, water, air that should be natural, pure are also now being produced or purified  or polluted with toxic substances therefore contributing  their 'own' toxins to human bodies..

So, many human bodies that would have been able to fight off toxins from the other means if it's first line (water) and two other critical lines of defence - air and food have been toxic-free started caving in.

Whatever name the disease is called or whether it is called aging even when some so-called old age-related problems now affect  youths and even children, they are mainly caused by TOXINS - substances that should not have been getting into the body, that weaken the body's ability to defence itself.

HEALING SPEEDILY FROM ACCIDENTS, WOUNDS, SURGICAL CUTS

Do you know that when your body is injured, it should have the capacity to effect speedy recovery, minimising your pain(s)? 

After severe injury or injuries, when patients have been discharged from hospital or other healthcare facility, or received  some treatment at a place,  many still experience so much pains before they finally recover. Some injured persons do not even actually recover fully but keep on experiencing and managing the pains for prolonged period or throughout their lifetime. 

A miracle is of course possible. But the same God that established miracles – suspension of physical laws to effect something that seemed naturally impossible was also the one that established natural laws for the body to heal itself. God originally designed the human body with the natural ability to heal by itself. 

Why then is it often so difficult for human bodies to heal from injuries? It is mainly because human beings do not follow the Creator’s manual  in maintaining their God-given bodies.

This causes the body not to be as functional or effective in performing its natural healing functions.

For example: have you heard of how people who bleach their skins with chemically-laden creams and soaps  have had serious  problems after surgery with their surgical cut(s)? 

What if the injury is internal? It’s still the same principle, taking in or using on the body substances that are toxic to it hinders the body's natural healing functions.

Whether involved in an auto accident or another kind of accident like a fall or having a cut from wounds or cuts from medical treatments, your body’s natural ability to recover fully is  determined by certain factors. These include what you have been ingesting – foods, drinks, medications and breathing in before the injury or cuts and afterwards.

1. This is a major reason people who undergo  surgeries like reshaping or enlarging or reducing body part such as nose, bums, breasts, tummy were having issues with their skin around the area operated on. People who go for such surgeries usually also use highly sophisticated body care products e.g. creams, lotions, soaps or scrubs with substances supposed to be beauty enhancers but are toxic to the body. 

Those who  have been using body care products with natural ingredients that have not been over-processed  with toxic substances shouldn’t have as much difficulty recovering from injuries such as major accidents,  wound or surgical cuts.

Another vital thing to note is what goes into the body. Eating, drinking, medicating on over-processed foods, drinks, medications with toxic substances will also weaken your body’s ability to recover from injuries  or surgical cuts. What you also inhale matters a lot – pure air or polluted air? 

The good news is that the body God designed for us is very resilient. If you or anyone under your care is having difficulty recovering after surgical cuts, wounds or accident injuries, stop taking or using those aforementioned  things that are inflammatory. 

2. Avoid highly-processed foods as much as possible.  They are usually processed and preserved with substances that are toxic.

3.Be very intentional in getting organic-grown foods. For example, beans cooked with onions should have been a very healthy meal to eat. But if you live in Nigeria, these and many highly demanded foodstuffs, are commercially  produced with so much chemicals . If you cannot actually get beans and onions  grown without chemicals, don’t eat such meal when recovering   - it will likely cause very serious inflammation. Foods grown with chemicals  will cause you so much pains and can delay the healing of cuts or wounds or major accident injuries.

 Eating moin-moin at such time may be okay because the soaking in water and washing off of the beans’ peal considerably reduces the levels of chemicals. 

4. A person recovering from cut, wound, any injury,  disease or ill-health should of course avoid fried foods. 

5. Another thing to avoid is refined sugar because the refining  processes load sugar with high levels of toxic substances. Refined sugar will inflame your body and cause you serious pains when recovering from cut or wound. This is linked to reason bodies of people experiencing Diabetes have difficulty healing from cuts, wounds or major injuries.

6.Avoiding frizzy packaged drinks at such times of recovery is also essential so as not to hinder the body’s healing process.

Medications- 

Notice that on this, I am not saying  avoid. Your health care provider may have recommended manufactured drugs  Try to observe the effect that the medication is having on your body and discuss with your health care provider if you have any concern. Note that it is actually your body that does the recovery while medication(s) assist the body to recover. So your main goal should be for your body to be strong to do its function so the drug can assist. 

 

Hopefully, the  manufactured medication(s) do not contain significant levels of substances causing or contributing to inflammation in your body.

7.Avoid inhaling toxic substances through air e.g. perfumes, chemical insecticides. 

All the things listed to avoid are aimed at getting your body to be as close as possible  to the natural state it was designed to function so it can heal speedily.

MY PERSONAL EXPERENCE

I usually do a lot of rigorous work – gardening, lifting heavy items. I often have to work fast because I want to do as much as possible in a day and still have time to read and do other things considered necessary. 

Lots of time, when working I might have a wound or a strain and barely notice. Why? Because during the period, I am able to avoid inflammatory foods and drinks,at such times I DONT EXPERIENCE PAINS. 

Recently, I sprained my right  wrist. I was not too certain when it actually  happened  – whether it was during the time I was shredding stumps of plantain bark with a cutlass to use as manure for my mini-garden or while lifting buckets of water directly from the well as there was no electricity to pump water. I couldn’t tell. I just noticed a slight discomfort.

 But what made me realise I had sprained my wrist a day or so later? I made and ate akara – bean cakes which involved frying blended beans.  Afterwards the little discomfort I was having around my wrist became really painful such that I actually started feeling pain -  that I didn’t feel immediately after the mishap happened. 

So I detoxified, including more herbs in meals to get out the toxic or inflammatory substances  in my system and the pain subsided, in fact left  Then some  days later, I cooked rice and beans. Hours after eating I started feeling the pain around my wrist again – though not as intense because it has had some days  to recover in which I did truly healthy feeding.

 So I tried again to stick with healthy feeding (devoid if toxins) for a day or two and  the wrist recovered quite well.

 But I took a malt drink because I was very thirsty and it was the first thing I sighted when I opened the fridge. I didn’t actually experience pain then but a small discomfort reminding me that over a week ago, I had sprained my wrist. 

What was simply happening, is this: whenever any food or drink  causes inflammation because of toxic or non-food substances in it,  my body is reminded of any unfinished business – unhealed or not totally-healed injury. 

It took about three or so days to completely rid my system of the toxins in the malt drink causing such inflammation and reminding my body of pains.

So, understand that it is the toxic elements that get into your body through food, drinks, air, body care products, possibly in medications as side effects that delay the body’s ability to heal from cuts, wounds or major injury thereby prolonging the pains

HUMANS NOT IN SAME CATEGORY OR CLASS AS ANIMALS

Why do people feel insulted when called animal(s)? Because deep down in every human even if they do not yet have a close relationship with God, they know they are not animals. 

Why then do  intelligent humans created in the image of the Almighty God, the Creator of all living things and the entire universe accept being classified scientifically as Animals?

LIVING THINGS CLASSIFICATION 

1. Humans

2.Animals 

3. Plants

Whichever order scientists choose, no intelligent human should accept being classified as Animals. We, humans are certainly not in the same category as Animals.
