philosphy of regeneration

[Guest guest]

I am a Sunrider user and representative. These products have changed

my life and my health. Organic, Concentrated, and harvested at their

peak. Just wanted to share this regeneration article.

 

Basic Principles of Regeneration

 

 

1. The human body is in constant change. Its cells are continually

wearing out and dying.

 

2. The human body has a built-in capacity to repair and replace cells

as needed. It has the perfect plan.

 

3. Degeneration is the process of replacing old cells with

inferior-quality new cells. This occurs when dietary materials have

lost their life-giving power, because of poor soil conditions,

improper harvesting, cooking, preservation, combining, or processing.

Most of the “food†consumed today promotes degeneration.

 

4. Regeneration is the process of replacing old cells with

superior-quality new cells. It occurs when dietary materials have

retained and enhanced their life-giving power, through proper growing,

harvesting, preparation, combining and assimilation.

 

5. Regeneration enables the body to perform all of its physical

functions more efficiently. These functions include respiration,

circulation, reproduction, assimilation, elimination, and

auto-immunization.

 

6. Regeneration on the physical plane opens new pathways to

progression on emotional, mental, and spiritual planes. Conversely,

resistance in these areas can retard the body’s physical regenerative

progress.

 

7. Regeneration includes the process of cleansing (catabolism) and the

process of building (anabolism). At times, the body may emphasize one

of those processes more than the other. Generally, neither process

should be forced unnaturally.

 

8. Regenerative processes can occur in regular cycles throughout a

lifetime, with periods of intense cleansing/rebuilding activity

alternating with periods of balance and stability. As long as

regenerative food is available, the body will strive for higher levels

of efficiency.

 

9. For most efficient functioning, the body has a constant daily need

for regenerative food. Because of the high concentration of nutrients

needed to achieve this benefit, it is advisable to use concentrated

whole foods, preferably herbal. It is equally important not to

overload the body with “dead food†or with supplements containing

isolates (vitamins and other nutrients reduced to their pure chemical

state.)

 

Process of Regeneration: Cleansing

Cleansing is the process of breaking down and/or eliminating

undesirable food components (especially fats and proteins);

accumulated drugs, toxins, unassimilated minerals, and degenerating

cells; and yeasts, fungi, and other parasites.

 

When detoxification and elimination functions are perfect, the person

is not aware that cleansing is taking place. This state occurs when

the liver, kidneys and bowels are strong and well supported

nutritionally; and when enough fluid is being used to move toxic

materials along quickly.

 

However, when these conditions are not met, cleansing “signs†may be

experienced. As the toxic materials are broken down and released into

the system for elimination, old aches and pains may be intensified, or

new ones encountered. Depression, fatigue, and irritability may occur.

These discomforts will pass when the elimination process is complete.

As the body focuses its energy inward, it may experience chills,

fever, thirst, weakness, tiredness, loss of appetite, and

disinclination to exercise. At such times, nourishment should be

easily digestible, with an emphasis on herbal beverages, whole food

concentrates, steamed vegetables, or vegetable juices. Extra sleep is

required, and fluid intake should be increased.

 

When the body’s eliminative capability is overloaded, it will

experience such discomforts as nausea, constipation or diarrhea, sores

or bad taste in the mouth, skin breakouts and itching, excessive

perspiration and body odor, frequent urination, etc. Managing these

“problems†nutritionally is largely a matter of choice and

experimentation. Increasing exercise and fluid intake will assist the

body to eliminate more efficiently. Cleansing processes can be

supported but a “lighter†diet and nourishing all body systems with

regenerative foods. Increasing the use of cleansing beverages will

allow the body to speed up the process, but might also increase the

discomfort.

 

In a regenerative cleansing process, the body may loosen and release

mucus-like waste from various body orifices. A loss of weight may

occur, sometimes greater than what would be considered desirable.

These are both temporary and normal conditions, and need not be

disturbed. The body is indicating its need to “houseclean†before

intensive rebuilding.

 

Achieving Balance

 

Persons who find themselves constantly in a “cleansing†process might

ask themselves the following questions:

 

Am I eating enough regenerative food to allow my body to achieve the

balanced state it naturally desires?

 

Am I drinking enough pure water?

 

Am I exercising sufficiently (according to my own needs and capabilities)?

 

Am I using enough of my “regular†diet to allow my body to make

changes smoothly?

 

Am I eating excessive amounts of offending foods that are keeping my

system constantly overloaded? (Some things to consider: dairy products

may add mucus; meats, eggs, or cheese may constipate; food allergens

may provoke reactions; all forms of sugar may aggravate a systemic

yeast infection, further compromising the immune system.) Complete

elimination (for a few weeks) of all suspected sources of discomfort

will help to identify food sensitivities. These foods should be

introduced back into the diet gradually (one item at a time, not more

frequently than one every four days), while carefully observing

reactions. Eventually, as the body continues to regenerate, its

tolerance levels will increase.

 

Signs of Rebuilding

 

When higher better nutrition is available to the body, it will

selectively reject and replace lesser quality cells and tissues. The

replacement process sometimes brings about temporary symptoms of

“nutritional deficiency,†as the body works to achieve a new level of

efficient functioning.

 

As areas of the body literally “come to life,†aches and pains may

occur. The nervous system may be receiving signals from

newly-functioning areas. It can be strengthened with herbal food

concentrates.

 

As the body diverts energy to the building process, greater need for

sleep occurs naturally. Similarly, as the body requires a greater

supply of “building materials,†appetite increases. At such times, it

is important to feed the body high quality regenerative foods in

adequate amounts.

 

As the body rejects quality mineralization, it may experience signs of

increased need for “replacement†calcium and other minerals. Muscle

cramps, breaking fingernails, toothaches, nervousness, and other

symptoms may confuse a person by the resemblance to dietary

“deficiency.†Again, it is important to increase mineral-rich

regenerative foods, and adequately feed the busy body.
