ARE YOU AGELESS?! -YOUR BODY’S REGENERATION SCHEDULE *PART 2

Of course we know that eating healthy foods and taking care of ourselves is important to staying healthy and young, but just as important for the best health is maintaining a healthy state of mind. *Dr. Candace Pert, a Ph.D. in cellular biology and biophysics has indisputably established that emotions and the body are neurologically linked. She explains that there is a chemical expression for every emotion we have. In very simple terms, if you think negative thoughts you release toxic chemicals that harm your body and inhibit your normal regenerative process. If you think positive thoughts and you are happy, you release “happy” chemicals that sustain & nourish your whole system.

Here’s the big question; Why then if a persons liver is diseased in August that it would still be diseased in January? According to the body regeneration schedule the liver should be healthy with new regenerative cells before January. Here is what the researchers and scientists are clarifying.

**Dr. Deepak Chopra explains that we all have “phantom memories” held within our cells or as some other scientists call it cellular memory. What he means is that inside every cell we hold memories, negative or positive. When a cell holding a traumatic memory is ready to die it passes on its degenerative memory to the next generation being created. So the new cell becomes an exact replica of the old cell containing the distressing memory.

What Dr. Chopra discovered in his many years of research and thousands of case studies of successful survivors who have healed themselves of serious and terminal diseases, was that they all found a way to connect with their body’s higher intelligence and were able to resolve and let go of traumatic cellular memory. When this was accomplished the degenerative memory was not passed on to the new cellular generation. The newly born cells were now healthy regenerative cells.

Again, this is fantastic news! This again proves that we have a choice to begin to heal and live a better and happier life! So ask your self, do I have the will and the courage to face my traumas and my fears? Do I really want to change my life and myself? If yes, then complementary holistic healing modalities helps you to make these necessary changes in mind, body & spirit. This leads me to discuss what epi-genetics is.

ARE YOU AGELESS? YOUR BODY’S REGENERATION SCHEDULE *PART 1

OK. So what does this mean? What is body regeneration? In short, it is the process of your body’s ceaseless renewal and growth, oh and death. The cells in our body are constantly dividing, regenerating and dying. Did you know that many of your genes that are involved in the original development of tissues are reinitialized during your body’s regenerative process? This means you become born again. You are starting from scratch with new cells. Life and death are intimately and seamlessly intertwined in this process.

The miracle of the human body is that if you get a cut or a bruise you heal. When you get sick your body knows how to heal itself. Your body automatically flushes out toxins without you needing to direct it to and this is just scratching the surface of how amazing you are. Every part of you, from your organs to your cells recreates itself! Then how old are you really? My guess is that you are younger than you think.

Here’s the general Body Regeneration Schedule:

• Intestinal lining: 2-30 days
• Skin: 21-30 days
• Red Blood Cells: 90-120 days
• Pancreas: 5-12 months
• Liver: 6 weeks-3 months
• Muscles: 6 months- 3 years
• Tissues: 1-7 years
• Bones: 8 months – 4 years
• Hair: Grows 1mm every 3 days - renews every 6 years
• Mouth’s Lining: Every few hours
• Bladder: About 49 days
• Lung’s Surface: 2-3 weeks
• Heart: 3-4 times over a lifetime

This is great news! Who doesn’t want to feel great, be healthy and look young? Even better news is that we can either support our body’s regenerative process or inhibit it. You are in control. By eating nutritional foods, using herbs, proper sleep, having healthy emotions and healing intentions we help our body optimally regenerate itself. Using medications filled with chemicals, toxic thinking, exposure to too much radiation (cell phones, microwaves, TV’s), unhealthy sleep habits will inhibit and interfere with the bodies incredible self-renewal system.
