BRAIN SOLDIER OR FREE RADICAL GANG MEMBERS
'Tid-bits' of Health
O ur immune system is like the army, navy, marines, air force, and hot shots all combined. In our country, the military has many functions besides going to war. They can build and create things, clean and protect our environment, plus use their skills to bring joy and pride to their country.
White blood cells are highly trained, microscopic workers that do more things inside us than we can imagine. One of their jobs is recycling old neurons and replacing them with new ones. It takes about eight years to get a whole new brain, and we get a whole new heart about every 3-4 months. This recycling work is what keeps us young.
Brain immune soldiers also clean up beta amyloid plaque that predisposes the brain to Alzheimer’s. Then they clean up other debris that causes brain fog, mental slowness and other problems.
One of the most important things to a man in the military are the girls in his life; mother, sister, wife, or daughter. If something were to happen to the girls, the man will become irritated or depressed and perhaps a little bit radical. This radical freedom from his girls can cause him to speak and act more harshly toward others. He could become a Free Radical and end up causing more damage than productivity. When very many of these guys get together we’ll end up having gang-type activity.
In the brain, the immune soldier is a molecular atom (Adam) with his paired electron (Eve). If something comes along and separates Adam from his Eve, Adam becomes a Free Radical. Free Radicals do a lot of damage. They can be like a young soldier that walks into a concert hall or church, become startled by anything, pull out his weapon, and start firing in every direction. He is now acting like a gang member instead of a soldier. Healthy brain neurons are destroyed. This outof-control over-activity in the brain can continue for weeks, months, or years. The end result is inflammation that leads to memory loss, brain fog, less endurance for reading or driving, depression, or Alzheimer’s.
Many things can cause the Adam to lose his Eve. A high sugar meal or snack contributes to this along with a lack of oxygen from sitting or standing all day. Having an allergic reaction to something is a sign that this free radical activity is happening somewhere. Digestive issues like upset stomach, gas, bloating, pain and constipation are contributors. Alcoholic beverages treat our microscopic soldiers the same way it treats our military men. It makes them drunk and stupid, unable to think rationally or move according to a healthy purpose. Their actions separate them from the hearts of their girls. Smoke adds its damaging effects whether it’s from a cigarette or a fire like we just experienced above Springville.
How do we stop the Free Radical Adams? What can we do within our lifestyle and diet? Are there pills that work? How do we get the girls back; the Eve back with her Adam?
The Eves are called antioxidants. They’re in certain fresh foods like blueberries, lemons, oranges and essential oils. The biggest mistake we make is not getting enough girls to come in and dampen the Free Radical’s activity. We have more exposure to smoke than blueberries, more sugar than essential oils, and more stress than sound sleep.
The most abundant results from the Body And Soul & Earth (BASE) Restoration program are reduced brain fog, better sleep, more energy, and calmer moods. BASE Restoration’s 10-Day Trial program is easy to do and very rewarding. A BASE gift certificate is worth its weight in gold under the Christmas tree or stuffed in a stocking. Not only will the receiver get healthier, but the giver will receive a tax credit receipt for their donation ($80 minimum).
