The Immune System – Which Guards Our Health

Posted on : 25-10-2017 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : Alkaline Diet Health Tips, Uncategorized

The term ‘immune system’ refers to the body’s defence system used to protect itself from disease (Latin for “immune” is Immunis = free, unaffected). Most people do not ‘feel’ their immune system, and regard its existence as self evident. For most of our lives, our immune system – whose function is to fight off viruses, bacteria, fungi and other intruders – works smoothly and successfully.

Only when we get sick with an infection or inflammation does it become clear how important the immune system is to our physical health and how important it is to support and maintain this system.

Those who suffer from a weak immune system will benefit from looking at their behavior, diet, stress levels, and even physical activities for the cause. How can the immune system be strengthened and balanced? Taking care of your immune health is a very important cornerstone of maintaining your physical health for as long as possible.

Our physical defence is a very subtle system. It includes cells and proteins that have the function of maintaining the body with its organs and structures. The immune system has various strategies for repelling outside intruders. On the one hand it has mechanical barriers, (the skin or mucous membranes). On the other hand, there are cells (i.e. granulocytes or lymphocytes) which work to render viruses and bacteria harmless. In addition, the body has proteins that act as messengers or as a defence against pathogens.

This sensitive system can be disrupted in its operation by a variety of external influences. These include dietary toxins that enter the body which may include processed foods, sweets, soft drinks, alcohol, and nicotine. Altogether, these items can weaken the organism and result in acidification. This also affects the immune system.

Immune boosting strategies: How can the immune system be boosted? Here are some basic guidelines to consider:

– Sufficient sleep (6 to 8 hours per day);

– Regular exercise (3 to 4 times per week of aerobic exercise, outdoors in nature);

– Stress reduction with yoga, relaxation training, alkaline baths, massages, dry and wet brushing;

– Listen to your heart and soul;

– Good hydration (with 2 to 3 litres per day of water or herbal tea)

– Avoid nicotine, alcohol;

– Alternate hot and cold showers to improve blood circulation on a regular basis;

– Take sauna or steam baths;

– Avoid drugs (especially those that destroy white blood cells such as painkillers, anti-depressants, antibiotics, beta blockers, etc.)

– Avoid fatty or highly processed foods;

– Enjoy an alkalinizing diet, rich in vitamin A, C, and iron. Eat foods that promote the production of white blood cells, including broccoli, kale, carrots, garlic, spinach, wheat germ oil, and ginger.

Recommended immune system supplement: Alkaline foods by Dr. h.c. Peter Jentschura are the perfect support  for the immune system, since many processes in the organism can only function properly when supplied with all nutrients and vital substances. Dr. Jentschura’s organic and gluten free products, including MorgenStund’, TischleinDeckDich, and WurzelKraft are rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre, and plant compounds. These vital substances support the excretory organs, which help the organism to metabolize and excrete harmful acids and pollutants.

WurzelKraft contains omnimolecular plant granules which are the molecules and building blocks of human life. This formula is made of 100 different varieties of fruits, vegetables, spices, seeds, herbs, and pollen. This composition provides all vital substances needed by the human organism. These include, for example, Vitamin C and iron, which are necessary for an efficient immune system. In addition, bee pollen is known as a ‘miracle’ because of its ingredients. Since the individual constituents of the granules are only dried and crushed or ground, they have a very high bioavailability compared to isolated mineral products.

WurzelKraft vegetable granules are a delicious snack between meals or can ‘upgrade’ different dishes such as salads, soups, breads, fruit salads, or vegetable and potato dishes. To ensure that all the important constituents of the product are absorbed by the organism so that the body is properly supplied with all the essentials, WurzelKraft should not be heated above 40°C, and be always properly chewed.

In addition, alkaline body care with Dr. Jentschura’s  alkaline-mineral body care salt, AlkaBath, contributes to the maintenance of the immune system. The alkaline pH of 8.5 stimulates the skin to excrete acids and toxins through the skin. Additional dry and wet brushes towards the excretory openings promote the circulation and cleansing of the lymphatic system, thus improving the excretion function of the skin and ensuring a high amount of relieving excretions.

These tips on sufficient body exercise and a health-conscious lifestyle in combination with a alkaline forming, omnimolecular diet plus alkaline body care, can permanently strengthen the immune system and your well-being!

 

MorgenStund’, TischleinDeckDich, and WurzelKraft are available in health food stores across Canada. For more information visit: www.YouInFocusProducts.com or call 1-866-722-9812 toll free.

Why your breakfast should be alkaline and gluten free

Posted on : 24-10-2013 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : Uncategorized

0

What could be better than a morning full of sunshine? We open our body to fresh air and life energy. We find delight in the intoxicating fragrance of fresh herbal teas or coffees. The process of digestion starts already: our body produces digestive secrets in mouth and stomach in preparation to make use of the breakfast for the complete organism.

The body needs fuel for a day full of many challenges and tasks ahead of us. Using the vital ingredients of breakfast we make ready for these tasks. Eating a healthy breakfast we ensure that we stay the whole morning without fermentation and flatulence, but instead in a good mood, a clear mind and cheerful vitality in muscles and organs.

Especially the gluten is a major health problem for millions of people who suffer from allergies. Gluten rich breakfast is dominated by grain cereal or white or brown bread.
Unfortunately, this breakfast contains too much gluten, which “glues” together the protein of wheat grains. If we consume it over years and decades gluten blocks the finest capillaries and therefore hinders both the supply and the cleaning of our tissues, cells and organs.

Our smart organism likes to survive the increasing constriction of the vessels in increasing the blood pressure in order to supply itself with the necessary amount of blood: high blood pressure is created. This symptom is significant for older consumers of gluten breakfast.

Younger people also suffer from gluten allergy which is called celiac disease. Even in young children, symptoms like bloated stomach, abdominal pain and even growth problems, the so-called short stature, are well known.
The only remedy is the absence of gluten-containing diet. German Dr. Peter Jentschura discovered that the typical gluten breakfast with grain cereal or white or brown bread is also very acidic generating. This means that it does not help to balance the body’s natural need to keep its blood slightly alkaline (pH range of 7.25-7.35).

Also a diet consisting of sugar, red meat, white bread, black coffee, pops and milk has a very acidic generating effect on the body while an alkaline life style full of green organic vegetables, fruits, and anaerobic exercise has an alkaline forming effect in your body.

Dr. Peter Jentschura research found out that gluten free breakfast porridge on the basis of millet, buckwheat, amaranth, fruits, sweet almonds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds is alkaline generating. The porridge is quickly to prepare and easily digestible. Its numerous rich vital substances are highly absorbable.
Due to an acidic life style with lots of unhealthy gluten foods and stress most people suffer from mineral depletion. Each acid forming food/drink must be neutralized by the body with organic minerals. In order to re mineralize the body Dr. Jentschura developed a life food supplement made out of 100 organic and wild crafted healing herbs and plants.

Did you know that some skin care is dangerous?

This is very valuable info in accordance with Dr. Jentschura’s research on diseases like Parkinson’s. Dr. Jentschura discovered a connection between the usages of aluminum-based deodorant and diseases like Parkinson’s. Generally the body tries to eliminate toxins and acids “from the inside to the outside” via skin, mucous membranes and digestive system. Toxic aluminium does not only block sweat (our body actually tries to eliminate waste) but also travels up to the brain via the lymphatic system which connect the armpits and with the brain.

The Power of Body Brushing

“The Two Minute Health Boost”- The Power of Body Brushing

Dr. Jentschura’s Brushes got awesome reviews by Nadine Artemis from LivingLibations. Nadine is a renown expert on natural health and beauty. She is the author of countless publications on natural wellness. Here are some excerpts from her essay on body brushing:

“The Two Minute Health Boost

Do you know…
· What organ receives one third of all circulating blood?
· When the liver is stagnant and a back-flow of waste fills the blood, which organ bears the burden?
· What organ is the last in line for needed nutrients and the first to announce bodily imbalances and deficiencies?

Our skin!

Our skin is the sentinel of our health. Only 1 millimetre thick, the skin streams with blood vessels, hormones, lymphatic capillaries, healthy lipids, waterproofing oils, and beneficial flora. It breathes and absorbs sunlight, spinning the warm rays of the sun into vitamin D. Deeply connected to our brain, our skin is a vast interface between the outside and inside of the body. It defines for us what is “out there” and what is “in here.” Our stalwart skin does all this, and it is beautiful.

We tend to take our skin for granted, trespassing and compromising its health with indiscriminating choices: lethal lotions and polluted potions, fake food and tainted tap water, chemical crèmes and synthetic sun-screens. In lieu of this, let’s take a moment to attune ourselves to our amazing skin.

The ancient Greek and Romans thought highly of the skin; their legendary baths are monuments to the importance of skin care for good health. The bathing ritual was luxurious and relaxing, consisting of soaks in hot and frigid pools and saunas. The very first stop for a bather was the strigling room. A strigil is a metal spoon-like tool that was coated in oil and brushed across every inch of skin. This process cleaned the skin and readied it for the rest of the baths.

I enthusiastically embrace this ancient brushing ritual, though I have swapped the metal strigils in favor of brushing my skin with natural bristle brushes. Dry brushing involves coating a dry brush with a drop of botanical oil and then very gently brushing every inch of skin, like butterflies on the skin – a very light touch. Always brush in the direction of the heart, and avoid brushing damaged or inflamed skin.
Dry brushing is so worth the 2 minutes it takes before a bath or shower. Of the many benefits, here are the top three reasons why I dry brush:

Love Your Lymph
Dry brush your skin for the love of your lymphatic system because a flowing lymphatic system helps support healthy immune response and circulation. Lymph fluid bathes all of the cells of the body with oxygen and nutrients and carries away wastes and excess fluid.

The lymph system is right under the surface of your skin, comprised of a vast network of superficial capillaries that lead to larger collection vessels throughout the body. These capillaries consist of loosely overlapping cells so that they are permeable to fluids, larger molecules, pathogens, and other smaller cells. Fluid from intracellular spaces drains into the lymph capillaries, is transported through lymph nodes, and then flows into large ducts on either side of the spine. From there, the fluid along with the waste and unneeded cellular “stuff” is passed into blood stream to be processed and eliminated.

Unlike the circulatory system that has the heart for a pump, the circulation of lymph fluid relies on physical motion to get it moving. Muscle contractions massage the fluid along through the capillaries in the skin. Inactivity and loss of muscle tone are major obstacles for healthy lymph flow. The lymph fluid can be roused by the dry and stiff bristles of a brush gently swept across the skin. The tiny muscles in your skin, the same muscles that make your hair stand up when you are cold, are stimulated by the motion of the brush and provide gentle contractions that get the lymph moving.

Botanical oils are an awesome way to enhance dry brushing.

Simply pour 1-2 drops of the oils on the palm of your hand, and then glide a dry brush across your palm coating the bristles. Then gently, brush your body starting with your toes all the way up to your head. Remember to always brush toward the heart.

Amplify Blood Circulation
Just two minutes of whole-body dry brushing boosts blood supply (both in volume and area) to the skin for an hour. Blood vessels weave through the skin in an elegant tapestry delivering vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, and fluids that build and sustain it. Blood also picks up the vitamin D made in skin cells and delivers to the rest of the body. Stagnant blood supply to the skin leads to loss of vitality, paleness, and a cascade of complexion and immune issues.

The light pressure on the skin from dry brushing promotes temporary blood capillary dilation, which allows for a higher volume of blood flow and more efficient give and take with the cells. Dry brushing also recruits dormant capillaries back into action. This is why the skin has a rosy glow after a thorough brushing.

Curtail Cellulite
How did this common physical occurrence become the jinx of women? A “problem” as defined by the so-called beauty industry, statistics tell us that more than 80% of women have cellulite somewhere on the body.

A myriad of components contribute to the formation of cellulite:
circulation insufficiencies
clogged vascular system
immobility or sedentary lifestyle
nutritional deficits
increased body fat
estrogen dominance
collagen and connective tissue breakdown
genetics

If cellulite is a concern, I highly recommend that your first step is to bless your body by shunning beauty magazines, cosmetics ads, and products that motivate you to stare or poke disapprovingly at any part of your body. Over-night cellulite-banishing lotions are marketing tools developed to separate you from your body, and the results are less than promised. There are no quick fixes for complex issues like cellulite.

Even so, there are things you can do to address the factors contributing to cellulite and thus curtail it and minimize its appearance. One of those steps is dry brushing. The thighs, especially the back of thighs are poorly vascularized compared to the rest of the body. So, blood and lymph circulation is low there from the start, which is one reason why cellulite forms. It is key to keep blood and lymph moving, especially in areas prone to cellulite. The circulation activating effects of dry brushing improves vascular efficiency in nutrient delivery and reduces the edema, or swelling, that exacerbates the bumpy appearance of cellulite.
Over the years, we have tested a variety of brushes, and we have finally located the three best body brushes ever. The Facial Brush has soft bristles suitable for gentle brushing the face, neck, and décolleté. The Body and Breast Brush is the perfect size and texture to dry-brush the body and more delicate breasts. The Energy Brush has fine bronze bristles made of copper and zinc. Due to the molecular structure of the bristles they have a negative ion charge. When brushed on the skin, the negatively charged oxygen ions important for our material and energetic wellbeing are generated right on the skin.

Squeeze all of the benefits of dry-brushing by bathing or taking a sauna afterwards. For the perfect finish, apply the Best Skin Ever to lubricate and nourish every cell. Your skin will glow with good health.”

Dr. Jentschura’s successful triple jump from Germany

1. Cleansing
Successful cleansing starts with breaking apart impurities into their original
components. The dissolving or breaking up process reactivates acids and other
toxins that were originally deposited in the body.

For almost two decades now, 7×7 AlkaHerb Tea has proven to be a successful
cleansing agent. As an ideal cell flusher and with its specific combination of
49 herbs, spices, roots and flowers, 7×7 AlkaHerb Tea contains all elements,
which are involved in the process of impurity accumulation. The doctor based
his recipe on the life-long research of a family of naturopaths from the 1920s
in Germany. Due to its amazing formula 7×7 AlkaHerb Tea is able to dissolve all
of the different types of impurities in the human body.

2. Regeneration of the Body’s Functions and Neutralization of Reactivated Acids and Toxins

In the second step, newly released and
reactivated acids and toxins are neutralized
for safe removal from the body
using alkaline-forming vital substances.
WurzelKraft is a purely plant-based food
powder made of 100 plants! These vital
substances neutralize and alkalize; they
also strengthen the elimination function
of the kidneys and detoxification function
of the liver.
Each plant contains specific vital substances. WurzelKraft provides all plant
derived vital substances needed for optimal health, metabolism and all the
body’s important functions.

WurzelKraft also preserves and reconstructs our mineral stores (our body’s
chambers of life) such as skin, hair, nails, vessels, tissue, bones, cartilages and
tendons.

3. Elimination of Acids and Other Harmful Substances

Finally, the superfluous “ballast” must be expelled from the body! Apart from
our kidneys, intestines and lungs, the human body possesses another quite
large and efficient elimination organ – the skin!
With alkaline body care we can specifically activate the elimination function
of our skin. The underlying principle is simple, but ingenious. Hundreds of
thousands of sweat and sebaceous glands expel acids and other harmful
substances from the body. When submerged in a bath with the optimal
pH value of 8.5, which is alkaline, we are able to drain huge amounts of acids
and toxins via the skin.
The alkalinity of an alkaline bath, foot bath or of another alkaline application
removes the acids and toxins already expelled from the skin. Thus our body
can flush out more. The result of eliminating these harmful substances offers
us substantial relief. The skin is also gently cleaned and its self-oiling function
optimized.

3 Easy Steps to Follow:

1. Start with 1 – 2 cups of 7×7 AlkaHerb Tea daily, gradually increase
quantity to ½ or 1 litre.
Drink 1 – 1½ l of plain water daily.
2. Eat 5 teaspoons – 12 tablespoons of WurzelKraft distributed throughout the day.
3. Practise intensive alkaline body care, including full baths and
foot baths, alkaline stockings, wraps etc. as often as possible.
