Body Wound and Healing.

Healing of a body wound is a miracle.


The human body, brain and the nervous system is a machine composed
of many smaller mechanisms, all purposeful and goal-oriented.

However man is not a machine.
Essence of man is that which animates, inhabits
the machine, directs and controls it and use it to its maximum advantage.

We have to accept that there is some universal energy vitality, life-force that guides us.

Throughout our life we are required to adapt to stress situations. Human body contains defence mechanism which protects against stress. Stress includes any thing which
requires adaptation or adjustment against say extreme heat or extreme cold., invasion by disease, germs, emotional tension and the wear and tear of living life.

This adaptive energy that is consumed in performing the adaptive work, is different from the calorie-energy we receive from food and all that. The human body is designed to maintain itself in health, to cure itself of a disease.

Drugs surgery, therapy work by stimulating the body’s defence mechanism when it is deficient or helpless to function. The adaptation energy in the final analysis, overcomes the disease, heals the wound or win over other stress factors.

Adaptation energy, life force, whatever you call it, manifests itself in many ways.
The energy which heals a wound is the same energy which keeps all our other body
organs functioning.

Loss of muscle mass affects about 10 percent of men and women over 60 and is a major reason why the elderly lose mobility and cannot live independently.. Now they are looking for ways to prevent or reverse the condition.
Why muscles wither with age is captivating a growing number of scientists, drug and food companies, let alone aging baby boomers who, despite having spent years sweating in the gym, are confronting the body’s natural loss of muscle tone over time.
Drug companies already are trying to develop drugs that can build muscles or forestall their weakening without the notoriety of anabolic steroids. Food giants are exploring nutritional products with the same objective.


Here we go again. Another normal part of aging is being turned into a disease so that pharmaceutical companies can develop drugs, inevitably with unwanted side effects to "treat" the new malady... and rake in big bucks on the backs of the elderly.

We already know that exercise, especially weight bearing exercise, is the best way to help maintain muscle mass into the golden years. That's the number one place to start.

We also know that may of the causes, inflammation, sedentary lifestyles, oxidative damage, resistance to insulin - are easily and effectively addressed with diet and lifestyle modifications, along with targeted nutritional supplementation, vitamin D, antioxidants, etc.

Let's get an information out to the aging population to provide safe,
preventive and holistic natural support instead of pushing another pricey, toxic drug.
