Cells

Consider human cells as unique living creatures… because that is exactly what they are.  Like us they eat, drink, expel waste, grow, multiply, and eventually die.  While we think of ourselves as individuals, we are in fact a collective of an estimated 100 trillion cells.  Each of these 100 trillion cells are individual living organisms.  Our health, as the big cell, is dependent upon the health of these tiny lives within us.

In regards to better health we must begin by thinking of the health of the individual cell.  The cell, the building block of life, is also the building block to better health.  If the cells are healthy, we are healthy.  Sadly, most people in this country live in a way that lowers cell vitality.  We do this by overworking, over-indulgences, poisonous pharmaceuticals, surgical operations, and harboring negative thoughts or feelings.  Additionally, our cells are deprived of the nutrition needed due to the dead foods of our poisonous diets.  The blood and lymph streams that feed our cells lack necessary mineral elements and instead contain an overabundance of waste matter.  This waste or morbid matter accumulates as a result of the diets that produce it and the weakened cell’s ability to eliminate it.  This is the beginning of disease… the cell’s attempt to right itself.

Cells are obedient to their purpose and fight very hard to keep us healthy.  There are two ways in which cells die… either by injurious agents or suicide.  When faced with an injury or infection it cannot recover from, a cell will sacrifice it’s own life to prevent replication of the abnormal condition.  This process of programmed cell death is call apoptosis.

It may surprise you that cells do not die from natural causes or old age… and it may surprise you more to know that neither do we.  We are cells.  With the exception of physical trauma, we die from conditions in our body that we ourselves are accountable for… and unlike the cells in our body, we are not so committed to a purpose that fulfills our best interest.  We have sacrificed our health, whether knowingly or not, to live life in ways outside the Creator’s design.
