To assure maximum robustness and ecological health, natural systems have a “fail early” system.
For hundreds of thousands of years, high infant and early childhood mortality was the norm for humans. Modern public health practices and advanced medical treatments have largely defeated childhood infectious disease in the industrialized countries. Sanitation, vaccines, and antibiotics worked. Most certainly, we’ve overdone it and created new health care challenges like antibiotic resistant bacteria, but unarguably, these methods have eliminated the necessity of the fail early system.
The problem is that it’s redirected into a “fail late” dilemma.
People are living longer, but chronic degenerative diseases among the elderly have crippled our healthcare system. Eighty-five percent of all healthcare dollars are spent on seniors in the last few years of life. We’ve created what Nassim Taleb calls “black swans,” where we are fooled not by our intelligence, but by the apparent randomness and complexity of nature.
Now, let’s get down to business. What does this have to do with me? It has every thing to do with your health. Here’s why…
When you change over from the disease producing modern Western diet to a plant-based, whole live fresh food — that means no packaged foods even if they are marketed as “organic” — with adequate calories from whole grains, enough biologically useful protein, and lots of fiber, you’ve taken the first leap to health. But it’s not enough. For one, we all grow old. And, in post-modern society we’re going to be subjected to stress, environmental pollutants, and a lifetime of accumulated low-grade infections. These factors, along with normal hormonal decline associated with aging, promote the “fail late” effect.
What can you do about it?
Identifying black swans is the next step in your health plan. Random effects happen in your body — for example, when your hormones go too low, or when your immune system acts up causing rheumatoid arthritis. Even if you’re eating a great fresh whole food diet, from time to time black swans will appear. For optimal health, to reduce the potential for random biological effects, you have to maintain and restore organ reserve and enhance organ and tissue regeneration.
There’s a lot of hype out there: body ecology this and that, extreme diets, mega supplements, but what I want to know is where are the super healthy people. Where are those who defy the norm, who beat the odds, who excel where it is considered impossible to do so. Those people have either lucked out, or know how to manage black swans.
The bottom line is that nature does it all: there is no healing unless it is in lock step synchronicity with what nature does best – regenerate.
“Random” diseases happen when the body isn’t given adequate time to regenerate.
Nature has ways to restore and regenerate ecosystems and organisms. Every one knows that worms grow back whole when broken in half and salamanders grow new tails. Did you know that your liver could completely regenerate itself when up to two thirds of it has been surgically removed? It can. Our skin does it every day, and so do other body parts, so why does conventional medical science tell us that we can’t repair our thyroid gland, nerves and brain, or heart?
**
That’s about to change.**
Let’s be clear. Growing new tissue and regenerating organs is not easy. But, the mental block that tissue doesn’t regenerate is gone. We now know that there is an ongoing slow replacement process of cells throughout life. Organs are not static, machine parts. But living, growing, and self-repairing biological tissue with the power to regenerate.
Heart muscle can grow back. Nerves seek new networks in the brain. Pancreatic cells can reboot insulin production. Thyroid cells come back to life. But how? Stems cells play a big role. But, so do other molecules, hormones, and chemical factors in the body.
For example, Thymosin Beta 4 promotes development of new tissue and has been used to stimulate heart muscle regeneration. A naturally occurring peptide, Thymosin Beta 4, is found in high concentrations in blood platelets, wound fluid and other tissues in the body that plays an important role in protection, regeneration and remodeling of injured or damaged tissues including heart and nerve tissue.
In Type I Diabetes, the immune system launches attacks insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, resulting in loss of the ability to make insulin. Without insulin, the body’s cells cannot absorb glucose from the blood and use it for energy. As a result, glucose accumulates in the blood, leaving the body’s cells and tissues starved for energy. That’s why people with the disease must inject insulin and monitor their blood glucose levels vigilantly every day, multiple times a day, to stay alive and maintain optimal health. Researchers found that glucokinase, a regulatory protein produced in liver cells that acts as a key enzyme in glucose metabolism. And, it appears to help regenerate the pancreatic cells that produce insulin. Natural foods may help regeneration. Fructose, natural fruit sugar, frees up glucokinase allowing it to do its job in regulating glucose.
Regeneration is the process of renewal, restoration, and growth that make genomes, cells, organs, organisms, and ecosystems resilient to events that cause damage. Every species is capable of regeneration, from bacteria to humans. Why not take natural health to the next level? It’s a remarkable journey. A healthy diet will sustain you along the way. High quality nutritional supplementation adds a significant advantage. Cleansing and detoxification help. Regular exercise is essential. The ultimate is whole body renewal, and that begins with regeneration.
Det där var krångligt, och jag har inte studerat ämnet på den nivån.
Men en synpunkt på texten om diabetes typ I:
"…body’s cells cannot absorb glucose from the blood and use it for energy. As a result, glucose accumulates in the blood, leaving the body’s cells and tissues starved for energy. That’s why people with the disease must inject insulin…"
Jag trodde att för mycket glukos i blodet är giftigt, och det är därför livsnödvändigt med insulin för att sänka halten.

Giftigheten är kanske underförstådd utan att direkt säga 'poisonous' … istället säger de att cellerna är 'starved', vilket leder till döden till slut om inget görs åt det … alltså genom en tillförsel av insulin för att omsätta sockret (sänka halten i blodet) så cellerna får tillgång till näring igen ….
