This modern chemical soup we float in, totally disturbs the
intercellular communication of our bodies. Cells communicate just as
we communicate with each other and just as we use different languages
so each different type of cell has a different language.

"I've had diabetes for the last ten years and you are asking me to
take dates and honey? I really wonder if you are the right ayurvedist
for me!" this remark from several patients triggered this topic in
this series.

Our greatest problem is that when the DNA antenna and transmitter
cannot receive pulse waves, whether they are electromagnetic,
hormonal, electrochemical, or neurotransmitters, cellular
communication is not triggered to either neighboring or to distant
cells. Transmission and reception are equally affected. When cells
become contaminated and suffocated by the sludge of cellular toxemia,
the cell membrane becomes blocked and is then resistive to
electromagnetic, neurotransmitter, and hormonal pulse waves which are
unable get through and hit the DNA coil in order to transmit and
receive cellular messages. This is how cellular communication shuts
down, making us tired and docile.

These few paragraphs from a very old book from the attic, despite a
few beginning and end pages eaten by mice over the years, may be both
interesting and throw further light on this mystery:

Mathematics, material science, is indispensable to the intelligent
discussion of the material aspects of the universe, but such
knowledge is not necessarily a part of the higher realization of
truth or of the personal appreciation of spiritual realities. Not
only in the realms of life but even in the world of physical energy,
the sum of two or more things is very often something more than, or
something different from, the predictable additive consequences of
such unions. The entire science of mathematics, the whole domain of
philosophy, the highest physics or chemistry, could not predict or
know that the union of two gaseous hydrogen atoms with one gaseous
oxygen atom would result in a new and qualitatively superadditive
substance - liquid water. The understanding knowledge of this one
physiochemical phenomenon should have prevented the development of
materialistic philosophy and mechanistic cosmology.

Technical analysis does not reveal what a person or a thing can do.
For example: Water is used effectively to extinguish fire. That water
will put out fire is a fact of everyday experience, but no analysis
of water could ever be made to disclose such a property. Analysis
determines that water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen; a further
study of these elements discloses that oxygen is the real supporter
of combustion and that hydrogen will itself freely burn.

Such is the nature of chemicals, but the other problem is actually
seeing the problem for what it is. Many people live through one
diagnosis to the next - never getting any better because there is
little understanding of the significance of diagnosis.

How do we get the right diagnosis in the first place?

We have to realise that diagnosis is only a classification that hides
or disguises symptoms and their significance to the being as a whole.

Many health problems, including peripheral neuropathy, autism,
precocious puberty, premature ovarian failure/menopause, depression,
obesity due to binge eating, diabetic/cardiac disease in children,
childhood asthma etc., can be defined as being caused by disturbed
cellular communication. Corresponding dosha as defined by Ayurveda is
Vata and its origins can all be traced back to nutritional
deficiencies. The time has come to take another deeper look at the
philosophy presented by ancient Acharyas by using modern science.

Refined sugar is not utilized very effectively by our cells and sits
outside the cells trying to get in. Glycosugars are readily taken up
by our cells and are necessary for cell-to-cell communication and
essential functioning. A lack of glycosugars on the cells' receptors
also plays a factor in cellular communication breakdown. If
glycosugars are not there, lining the cell membrane and causing a
Braille-type notching, the cells cannot fire the messages. When cell
membranes are coated with toxins and deficient in glycosugars, they
can't talk or communicate with each other properly either.
Glycoproteins are proteins bound with sugar specifically used for
building enzymes, hormones, immunoglobulins and antibodies and are
found in each cell of our bodies - whether these are human, animal or
plant cells. These recent discoveries established the fact that all
mammals must synthesize glyconutrients as a normal function of life.
The glyconutrients then attach to the protein surface of the cell to
form glycoproteins. Those who don't produce all of the eight
essential glyconutrients correctly will develop a disease condition.
Apparently this is now a medically established fact. The 1999 Nobel
prize in Medicine was awarded for this discovery. MIT's February 2003
issue of Technology Review says that "Glycomics, the study and
application of these vital sugars, is to be one of the Ten Emerging
Technologies that will save the world".

Research suggests that certain sugars are "biologically active" and
do not convert to glucose when consumed. Instead they go directly to
the protein surface of each and every cell in our bodies to form a
complex system of cellular communication, this is the "operating
system" of the body. As our cells touch each other, they communicate
through this "sugar code" everything a cell might need, whether it be
nutrition, repair, or hormones, etc.

Proteins in milk, along with sugar, can build serotonin in the body
to give good sleep when taken at bedtime. Similarly, a very popular
sweet in Maharashtra is Puran-poli, which contains horse gram and
jaggery, a mixture that induces sleep if consumed in excess, in fact
most sugars can cause drowsiness if taken in excess.

The importance of sugars in communication can be illustrated by this
example. It is well known that our day goes well if the bowels are
evacuated first thing in the morning. The first sign of Vata dosha is
constipation. A young patient of this author found it strange that
he needed to visit toilet for the second time after a cup of tea,
even after feeling that the bowels were empty. Was it the sugar in
the tea or the caffeine that caused his nervous system to act in this
way? He was then asked to take some warm water in which jaggery was
dissolved. The warm water had better penetrating power to the cells
and the jaggery provided some sugar. This experience established that
caffeine was not needed for starting a happy day! It was the glucose
in the jaggery that was acting here.

When a hundred trillion cells are being shut down from effective
communication, it affects our moods and feelings. Just try the
experience of a glass of warm milk with a little sugar taken at
bedtime. You will find that It also affects the energy and thought
processes. In all discussion on cellular nutrition mentioned
previously in this series, electromagnetics and photons are involved.
Every nutrient in living form is conductive, whether it be oxygen,
minerals, essential fatty acids, or water, and all of these carry a
current, just as if we were in a bathtub with a live radio thrown
into it.

Water is a carrier of electrical current as long as we have the right
type of water in the body. So every nutrient contributes to the
overall cellular electricity. Cellular communication requires
electrical conductivity in the cells. The moment conductivity is
reduced we have depression, the body becomes unable to listen to
signals, or we have the signals not getting generated in the first
place. It may be recalled that the home remedy for depression uses
jaggery in addition to tulsi and ginger.

Most sugars are satvic in nature and if we study Ayurvedic remedies
to boost fertility, satvic foods such as milk, dates, jaggery, honey,
and wheat, are used in abundance in these remedies. In the world of
birds, animals and humans...fertility and procreation is not possible
without cellular communication and the complex interplay of hormones
which causes sexual feelings, blood flow to organs and release of
fluids. Unless a male entertains/placates the female of the species
into submission with love (not rape), she will not release eggs, and
the male will not be ready for sex...all this cosmic drama for
creation is impossible without glycoproteins showing once more that
the absence of glycoproteins in the body throws the symphony of
hormones out of tune and infertility is the result.

This discussion will be continued on Monday to maintain continuity.
