"What
We All Really Want"
- By
Bob Scheinfeld
Everyone
says they want it. Lots of people do something
about it. We all know it's one of the most
important things in life, that little else
really matters if it's missing, and yet many
people don't really do anything about it.
What
am I talking about?
Health.
Being healthy.
This
will be the first in a multi-part series about
health that I'm writing in this newsletter.
I'm writing the series because I get emails
and letters all the time asking what I do
on a daily basis (to stay healthy and resolve
issues when they come up) and how I use the
Invisible Path system to create vibrant good
health. I also see lots requests in my Invisible
Path to Success online support forum about
healing and health issues.
In
this first segment, I want to chat with you
for a few minutes minute about what health
really is. We'll start by diving deep into
the body to see a few things, then jump back
out into our day to day practical lives.
It'll
get a bit technical, but nothing you can't
handle, and we need to get a bit technical
to create a common foundation for our chats
in future segments.
Years
ago, while attending a health seminar, I heard
the speaker ask this question from the front
of the room:
"What
is health?"
He
then took comments from the audience. People
offered answers like "feeling good,"
"the absence of disease," "not
being sick," and so on.
"Yes,
that's true" the speaker replied each
time, and then he said "And what's the
one thing that's instantly recognizable about
someone who's healthy?"
There
was a long pause. Then a woman in the audience
said "They have lots of energy!"
"Bingo!"
The speaker said. "Energy is what health
is all about."
I
found that fascinating because I rarely if
ever thought about what the word "health"
really meant, even though I would have said
I wanted to be healthy and was working hard
to "get healthy" and "stay
healthy."
The
guy continued, "With energy, everything
becomes real and possible. Low energy is the
first step to disease. In order to get the
result we want, being healthy, we need to
make sure that everything we do helps us build
energy."
"Where
does energy come from?" A young man asked.
"From
the cells in your body," the speaker
said. "The quality of your life is the
quality of the life of your cells."
He
went on to explain that there are over 75
trillion cells in your body, and that cells
are miniature factories that process the nourishment
we need and void the waste. Here's a quote
I got at that seminar. Sorry, but I don't
recall the source:
"Each
type of cell has certain distinguishing characteristics
that permit it to perform some highly specialized
task. The cells of the digestive system digest
food and absorb it into the bloodstream; red
blood cells carry life-sustaining oxygen to
every region of the body; the cells of the
kidney excrete potentially harmful waste products;
the cells of reproductive organs ensure perpetuation
of the species; and the nervous and endocrine
cells direct and control all other organ systems
so they may best serve the entire body.
What's
more, each cell is like a miniature factory
with a receiving department, a shipping department
and a power plant that generates the energy
that creates life. These 'factories' transform
food to the right type and amount of energy
necessary to stoke the tiny cellular furnace,
drive the vast array of cell machinery and
keep the cell a warm and comfortable abode
for all the chemical workers who toil in it
without respite. And like a factory, each
cell has a board of directors empowered to
make major decisions to plan for the future,
to draw blueprints to be followed by the cell
workers using cell machines.
Perhaps
more importantly, each cell ensures perpetuity
of the factory by providing a means for passing
on the experience of one generation of directors
to the succeeding generation in an orderly,
unobtrusive fashion. In short, the cells provide
it with both a source of energy and the managerial
talent to direct flows of that energy into
efficient production."
It
only makes sense, if you really think about
it, that maximizing your overall health requires
that your body receive the optimum ingredients
for ensuring health on a cellular level. In
simple terms, if you want to be healthy, you've
got to keep your cells healthy.
In
order to not just survive, but thrive, cells
need three things:
1.
Oxygen
2.
Nutrients
3.
The ability to eliminate their own waste
In
fact, Dr. Alexis Carrel wrote, "I believe
cells will live forever if they are given
their basic needs and they are not poisoned
by their own environment."
So,
how do cells die or get "diseased"?
The most common killer of cells is lack of
oxygen. Any disturbance in the electrical
fields of cells can also kill or hurt them.
Finally, any physical rupture in the cells
can also kill or hurt them.
So,
again, in simple terms, if you want to get
healthy and stay healthy, you need to make
sure your cells:
1)
Get plenty of oxygen
2)
Get the nutrients they need
3)
Are protected from physical and electrical
damage or disturbance
And,
if there are any problems now as a result
of a lack of these three key "ingredients,"
you want to get help to resolve the issues
and return your cells to a healthy state.
In
the next few segments of this series, we'll
discuss how I do that and the tools you can
use to do it for yourself, if you so choose.
Until
the next segment, keep smiling . . .
