Let's explore and find answer to one of the three questions raised last week which is:
....CAN I SHIELD MY BLOOD FROM DISEASES?
To know the answer to that question, we need to examine causes of diseases.
As a person of faith I am aware of the scriptures and I believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has borne our diseases and carried our infirmities.
Why are people including vibrant gospel believers and some gospel ministers still affected by diseases?
Surely, the problem cannot be from God who has finished the work and done perfect job, it must be from humans due to ignorance or something else.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), “disease is a harmful deviation from the normal structural or functional state of an organism, generally associated with specific signs and symptoms. It's a medical condition that impairs normal functioning and is not immediately due to external injury.
Diseases can be caused by various factors like infections, genetic or developmental errors, or environmental factors.
It affects the normal operation of one or more parts of the body, hindering their ability to function as they should.
Causes of Disease:
Infections: Diseases caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites.
Genetic or Developmental Errors: Conditions resulting from inherited or developmental abnormalities.
Nutritional Deficiencies or Imbalances:
Toxicity: Exposure to harmful substances can cause illness
Environmental Factors: Unfavourable conditions like pollution, radiation, or extreme temperatures can contribute to disease.”
Above is very insightful explanation on definition and causes of diseases by WHO.
We must remember that healthcare professionals do very important work.
So individuals getting to know more about their health is just to reduce as much as possible the things we inadvertently do that affect our health negatively and have led to serious long-term physical suffering, pains, reduced lifespans, inability of the body to function well ( even in latter years the body is not supposed to lose certain functions) and sudden deaths from diseases.
There are people who go out of their way to learn about car maintenance, possible problems and solutions. They still hand over the car to mechanics to fix when there’s problem. But they want to be aware of what the issues are.
If a car owner can care enough to know so much about their car, how much more should a human being seek to know as much as possible about the functioning of their body, be aware of what can or could have caused problem(s) and possible solutions, before and after engaging professional medical services.
This is more so, as there is nowhere to purchase a brand new human body no matter how rich the person is. That is unlike a car that a brand new one can be purchased many times in the lifetime of a person who can afford such.
PREVENTING DISEASES
For diseases caused by infections such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites, realise that these organisms have always been in existence.
Even when they mutate, their toxicity ought not to be more powerful than the natural human immunity.
When the natural human immunity is compromised, infection by one or more of these organisms lead to serious ill-health.
Can we recall that during the Covid19 era, there were people who tested positive to the virus but didn’t fall sick?
Such viruses would not have had any significant impact on human population if the natural immunity of so many people was not compromised.
You may then ask, ‘What compromises natural immunity?’ Please refer to Part One of this series – there are certain substances that get into the human body that were not meant to get into the body – Toxic substances or inorganic substances that cannot be absorbed as nutrient by the blood and cannot easily be broken down.
They stress the liver and/or the kidneys as they pass through them. Some can’t pass through, they get stuck! especially in the kidneys impairing the normal functioning of these organs.
They may also be deposited in some parts of the body where they cause tumours or cancers.
They also directly or indirectly cause or aggravate other conditions or diseases like Diabetes and hypertension.
They are responsible for a lot of the pains we feel as they are carried in the blood or bloodstream to different parts of the body.
Even before a person is diagnosed with any disease, as long as inorganic substances keep getting into the bloodstream, they give the blood extra load to carry as it flows, so they weaken the body, reducing body's natural immunity and it’s ability to overpower any pathogen that gets into the body.
For conditions resulting from inherited or developmental abnormalities, if the person's lifestyle choices do not aggravate them, they wouldn’t cause any serious health problem.
Diaeases caused by Developmental Errors will be addressed with the third question in this series, ‘...can I stop the transmission of diseases to my offspring?’
Lack of essential nutrients or excessive intake
- if people eat what they are supposed to eat(not necessarily sophisticated), they wouldn’t have diseases caused by lack of nutrition.
For excessive intake of nutrients, if they are from food or natural sources, excess intake wouldn’t lead to diseases.
There might be some temporary discomforts, but the body will expel the excess and there would be relief.
What can harm the body are excess nutrients that have been subjected to synthetic processes i.e from supplements or drugs.
For instance if one regularly eats a whole lot of fresh citrus fruits which of course contain Vitamin C in excess of what the body needs, as long as the fruits are organic, the discomforts would be temporary, the body will get rid of the excess.
But taking a Vitamin C supplement in excess of the required amount especially if done constantly can lead to serious health problem – I did a series recently on ‘CAN DEAD KIDNEYS LIVE/FUNCTION AGAIN?’ Health Care Practitioners discovered that regular Vitamin C supplements in excess led to a young lady’s kidney failure.
Likewise regular excess Vitamin D intake from sunlight or organic food will also be expelled by the body while regular excess Vitamin D supplements will damage the body.
Toxicity: Exposure to harmful substances can cause illness – avoid it but if truly unavoidable, there are measures that can be taken to minimise the absorption of the toxins by the blood or to purify the blood – consult your healthcare professional, don’t wait until the toxins build.
But for emergencies of such happening during the night or when there is transportation challenges, you can keep at home or nearby activated charcoal or edible plants to pluck the fresh leaves and chew/swallow. This will minimise effect of the poison till you get professional healthcare.
Environmental Factors: Unfavourable conditions like pollution, radiation, or extreme temperatures can contribute to disease – these are often beyond one’s control especially those living in a country, state or community where such pollution of the environment is not well-regulated or not at all.
If possible, leave such environment. But if not, minimise the effects of such pollution by using a nose mask. If possible, have plants in your immediate environment especially those that have been found to be good absorbers.
Sometimes, when perceiving such harsh chemical pollutants in the air, I would pluck a stalk of leaves one of those plants and put near my nostrils. If the pollution is strong, I may even use a nose mask along with the leaves. I find out thst though such harsh substances polluting the air can cause dizziness, inhaling the scents of some leaves, reducss the dizziness, even strengthens me.
Except for genetic factors that introduce diseases directly through the blood, when we understand that basically what causes diseases mainly come from outside the body, we can take necessary measures to prevent such or counteract the effects.
Even with genetic factors, it is what goes into the body that is not counteracted on time that aggravate and cause full manifestation of the inherited disease.
Wiunds or body cuts: If you have a wound, get it treated on time so that there won’t be entry of inorganic substances.
With all that have been highlighted , do answer the question:
On the scale of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, 7, 8, 9 to 10, 10 being absolutely Yes and 1 tending to No, while 5 is uncertain, answer the question:
‘CAN I SHIELD MY BLOOD FROM DISEASES?'
