Microorganisms and Their Role in Human Health

Key Points:

  • Microorganisms are essential to life on Earth and play a crucial role in the human body.
  • Disease is not caused by germs, but by unhealthy conditions that allow microorganisms to thrive.
  • Environmental cleanliness, particularly within the body (gastrointestinal tract), is vital for preventing disease.
  • Florence Nightingale emphasized the importance of environmental cleanliness in controlling disease spread.

Microorganisms in Disease:

  • Diseases like Ebola are exacerbated by unhealthy living conditions.
  • Fungus is considered by some scientists as a factor in disease cause.
  • Antibiotics are mold-derived substances, adding mold waste to the body.
  • Excessive antibiotic use can lead to fungal overgrowth.

Mold and Disease:

  • Molds can enter the body through ingestion, skin contact, or inhalation.
  • Mold in the home should be handled with care—use vinegar instead of bleach for cleaning.
  • Mold spores can be present anywhere there's filth or lack of sunlight and air.
  • Books and researchers suggest links between mold and diseases like cancer.

Strategies for Managing Fungus:

  • Starve fungus by eliminating sugar and reducing grains.
  • Use natural antifungals like garlic, olive leaf extract, and grapefruit seed extract.
  • Maintain balance by replenishing gut flora with probiotics.
  • Alkalize the body with vegetables, particularly dark leafy greens.

Health Retreat Strategies:

  • Implementing the eight laws of health can stimulate healing.
  • Short fasts, such as juice cleanses, can promote body detoxification.

Organs of Elimination

Skin:

  • Largest organ of elimination.
  • Needs natural fibers for breathing; avoid plastic-based fabrics.
  • Shower frequently to remove waste.
  • Exercise to increase circulation and waste removal.

Lungs:

  • Require fresh air and water for optimal functioning.
  • Exercise increases lung capacity and waste expulsion.

Kidneys:

  • Filter blood; need adequate water intake and warmth.
  • Exercise improves kidney filtration efficiency.

Colon:

  • Eliminates larger waste particles.
  • Stimulated by laughter, water, exercise, and fiber.
  • Important to maintain regular evacuation habits.

Additional Notes:

  • Oil pulling can assist in removing toxins from the tongue and oral cavity.
