As I work into Phrase II of this website the blog post will have more content with less links. My challenge will take the background from past blog post…. while bringing that information forward into cancer quick facts. Thereby making it more useful information for the visitant to cultivate in each blog post. This isn’t to say, “that my blog post aren’t useful and by all means either scroll through the blogs on blog roll or use the Archives on the right side of your computer screen for an added convenience.”
There is alot of research in my archives, hopefully, you’ll find the blogs of July which is preventive measures and August which is treatment just as informative as that one that I’m now typing. There has been alot of research into psychoimmunology, which is the study of mind over matter and the effect it has on the immune system. In the “background blog post” in the archives of this website.
I talk about Qigong “life energy” with which I’ll be honest… I had a good laugh first at the Chinese expense of NOT believing in this practice. Only when I started to research what it was about ….did I start to understand the principle behind the practice. Qigong, “Life energy” is the practice of aligning breath, movement and awareness for exercise, into healing and mediation with roots in Chinese medicine dating back 4,000 years.
Qigong… has traditionally been viewed as the practice to cultivate and balance “chi” life energy. Which until only recently have the Institution in the Unites States started to take seriously. Those Institutions are at Vanderbilt and Dana Farber…. which warrant consideration into the anybody’s battle with cancer. If you read a sign every morning that says, “your great…. your gonna live along time ….every cell in your body starts believing and respond to those thoughts regardless of the circumstances.
With this said, you better start thinking thoughts that are positive and powerful. When you read this coming from me you don’t have to believe it from me, however, you best believe it coming from Paul Falk. When Paul from Cincinnati, Ohio was 9 years old, in 1986, was given the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia at Cincinnati Childrens Hospital Medical Center. They gave his parents a choice standard treatment or and experimental one called the Denver Protocol.
his experimental treatment was going to be administered to 100 children throughout the country. Throughout his own experiences he did learn that of the 100 children that received the protocol he was the only one that survived. Until this day he believes the only reason he survived the ordeal is because as he fought throughout the disease he stayed positive. When you stay positive…. you usually stay a toned – true to yourself and you are of like mind ….while you keep doing…. what you always have been doing.
When you stay positive…. you stay active ….when you stay active you keep all your bodily functions in normal working order and when you do that…. you don’t give your body a chance to erode within itself. To me that’s extremely important and here’s why: every function that’s within your body work’s in unison. The circulatory, also the respiratory , muscular, nervous and the lymphatic system all work’s together as one. When you do something or don’t do something out of the normal it throws your system out of wack.
The cardiovascular system is one of the most important systems in your body. This system consist of your heart and a series of blood vessels that is called arteries, veins and capillaries. That even helps your heart heal when your heart isn’t doing so well on it’s own…. for instance …. your heart has blockage the back flow of blood reroutes itself to form NEW arteries.
The cardiovascular system works by pumping blood into the lungs which causes the blood to become oxygenated. This oxygenated rich blood is then transported throughout the body through a network of arteries, vessels or veins and capillaries. That branch out to the trillions of cells of the body to give them access to nutrition and oxygen.
Through cardiovascular exercise it can keep everything in working order. By keeping everything in working order…. it keeps your metabolism reving high… burning any excessive cholesterol ..that might be churning up inside due to the difference in the metabolism in people. Always remember that depleted blood that cells feed upon to gain their oxygen and nutrients must return to the heart to restart the process all over again (exercise and replenished nutrients help aide the process).
Being that the lymphatic system which is important to a healthy immune system doesn’t work off your heart beat. Rather it is fully – functionally from every breath you take and the more breaths you take…. the more fully – functional the lymphatic system interacts with circulatory system (mainly through the removal of interstitial fluid and fatty acids).
When nutrient- and oxygen -rich blood reaches the capillaries, they leak interstitial fluid into the tissue to feed the cells. Once these cells have gained what they need, the fluid must be removed from the cells and then placed back into the circulatory system to be reused…. the lymph system draws the fluid from the cells and deposits it back into the blood that’s in the veins.
Another main – way in which the cardiovascular and lympathic system interacts is through the removal of fatty acids in the body. When you have a mixed up rate of bad and good fatty acid this procedure of removal becomes extremely critical. About as important as gaining omega -3 fatty acids from your diet through proper nutrition in the first place.
Being that the lymphatic system works in unison with the circulatory system. Because the lungs are where your oxygen supply is picked up in the blood and then transported around the body where hemoglobins are produced in the red blood cells, It’s these hemoglobins in abundance that are delivered to respiring tissues (muscles), musclar and nervous system interaction is what controls your breathing rate.
When the concentration of carbon dioxide increases the chemo – receptor (chemical sensitive) cells in the wall of the carotid artery and aorta that sends impulses to the respiratory centre of the brain and tells your body to increase your breathing. It’s these same impulses that tells the diaphragm and intercostal muscles to contract while making the breathing rate more rapid.
Most of the respiratory system is lined with mucous membrane which contain mucosal – associated lymphoid tissue. This tissue an essential part of the lymphatic system that produces immune cells (e.g. lymphocytes which is a type of white blood cell that defends the body against infections and viruses).
The benefits of exercise is that it helps your body to control all the fore -mention functions of the body. Plus by doing so… it also controls the cortisol levels that helps to metabolize fat for fuel. Although this intense aerobic exercise causes a temporary increase in cortisol…. regular exercise helps control your cortisol levels and helps reduce the stress this hormone places on your body.
Your hypothalamus plays an important role in cortisol production…. this gland responds to any preceived threat by signaling an alarm to the rest of the body. Which causes your adrenal glands to release a surge of cortisol (the primary stress hormone). Although physical and emotional stress can increase cortisol production through sudden burst of energy by increasing glucose into your blood stream.
This hormone is essential for regulating your energy levels, and also metabolizing stored fat cells. It is responsible for several functions in the body including blood pressure regulation, glucose utilization and – any – and – all inflammatory properties. While excessive cortisol levels can and will cause fatique as well as fat accumulation in the stomach region, decrease bone formation, increase water retention and changes in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins while affecting the immune system.
According to the Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practices. Studies indicate that even 30 minute sessions of moderate exercise may help in reducing these harmful cortisol levels. Whereas the Mayo Clinic recommends reducing cortisol stress levels by getting regular exercise period. Having it MADE means Managing Attitude Diet Exercise….
