Immunity Theory

The Theory of How the Immune System Works From the Natural Point of View. |
Theoretical Information About The Immune System
(Immunity Theory from the Natural point of view)
|
|
Immunity and the immune system is often talked
about but is always a very vague subject involving various organisms that the
average person cannot see let alone examine for themselves. Invariably, in
technical discussions antibodies and similar organisms are discussed in
great detail.
No one will dispute that in our blood streams there course many substances
and organisms borne of our body that help to protect us from the foreign
intrusion of intrusive or even dangerous organisms that could
be injurious to our bodies.
 |
White Blood Cells
|
|
Macrophages,
|
|
T- Cells,
|
|
Etc.
|
These definitely do their work to protect us and are part of the body by
design. No one had to put them there and no one can buy these organisms in a
product and
ingest them to strengthen their effect. In fact where similar organisms to be
borrowed from another body and placed into our own they would likely be killed
off by the bodies own organisms of defense.
What then is the Immune system? There is no specific organ called the immune
organ. If these organisms are the army within the body that defends it they can
then in isolation be called the immune system! These however do not function in
isolation.
There are supposedly substances, some natural some not, that are marketed to
enhance the immune system. This is interesting because from the point on view of
pure Herbalism no such substances really exist. What do exist are substances
that clean the blood. Yet even these do not literally clean the blood itself
directly. That is to say that they do not act as an actual detergent,
indiscriminately removing substances out of the blood. Substances like this can
rightfully be called poisons. What the herbal substances actually do is aid the specific organs
whose function it is to clean the blood to do so. Example: Kidneys, Liver,
Spleen, Bowels etc.
Therefore the very popular theory that Echinacea and other substances like it
are anti-viral is flawed in spite of the fact that it might appear so in
laboratory tests. A sterile dish in a laboratory is not reality. What is
sometimes observable in a lab is what something is doing but what remains
illusive is how it is doing it.
What Echinacea and other herbs like it do is increase the degree of heat.
Heat is the ultimate cleaner and separator of waste in the body. (not to be
confused with caloric heat) of the Spleen (or other organ), the Spleen being
the first stage of blood production and maintenance, this affects the blood
positively - you get relief. That these causes and effects can be produced is
elementary. Because there are times when Echinacea for example will not be
effective. Also, the idea that if a good natural product is very beneficial when
needed, then, if taken on an ongoing basis it will produce even more benefit is
a flawed practice. Very few substances are like this. What is lacking here is
the underlying principle of action that strengthens "immunity."
Also, it should be mentioned
that in vitro experiments showing that specific bacteria are killed from
exposure to certain herbal preparations are not logical. The environment outside
of the body and within the body are completely different than a petrie dish in a
laboratory setting. Furthermore, what the body does with the particular herbal
preparation is overlooked and not generally understood. |

What is understood is the effect it may have after the fact but,
what the body is doing with it, this is a nebulous area indeed. To restate this
in different words; there is no way to artificially digest anything outside of
the body and thereby scientifically predict what it will do inside the body
beforehand. All scientific effects are based on
observations after the fact. This is why so many medicines are discovered
after they produce their reaction or by accident. In the art of Herbalism however, the effects must
be known ahead of time and this has been proven by the many very old herbal
texts that give an exact explanation as to the proper application and effect of
a herbal preparation.
The fundamental principle that is being overlooked is that our body and
everything in all it’s parts and organisms are alive and could not exist unless
every part and organism is being properly fed. This is a Law. Nothing can exist
or do any work without the energy to do it with. In living organisms this energy
comes in the form of food. There can be no substitute.
What is overlooked is that the organisms of immunity themselves that do the
work must also be fed in order to do their work. In the outer world of nature
you could not expect a work animal to do its work if it were not fed. Even if
you use a tractor on a farm to do the work do not expect it to do any work
without its fuel.
These many named and unnamed organisms must be fed
in order to be healthy and have energy before they can protect
you. When we eat we feed our entire body inclusive of these organisms. If we are
not fed we eventually get weaker and more subject to ailments. This is obvious
and does not need to be explained further.
In some cases, even though we are eating, our system may be specifically
compromised that it is unable to properly feed itself inclusive of the above
mentioned organisms.
This leads to the conclusion that if your digestive system is kept in good
functioning order your immunity will be maintained and be kept strong through
proper food and clean air. This can be said because the digestive system is what
actually converts foods and air into blood with which to feed the body. But
before the blood can feed the body it must so to speak "feed itself" first. The
organisms in the blood are also created and fed in this process. Immune system
support would therefore consist of improving digestion.
The blood of any animal has always been regarded as something special, as
something apart from the coarseness of the organs and body of the animal. The
Alchemists regarded it as a Quintessence within the body that kept the body
alive. It was what gave life to the body. They also wisely ascribed and classified the various organs and functions
of the body to the activity of either the Fire, Water, Air or Earth Elements.
The blood however was ascribed to the Fifth Element, the Akasha, thus the name
"Quintessence," the Fifth Essence also known as
the God Principle. That is why all living things depend on their blood for life.
Clearly this particular point cannot be qualified or quantified scientifically now or at any
time in the future. It is something that a sensitive person knows and
understands in their heart.
Your body is self-sustaining. And it is your digestive system by the Will of
God that sustains it. Your digestive system is responsible for the physical part
of your blood and therefore the primary maintenance system of your immune
system. Through it your blood is maintained as it gives you life. Immune system
support has to do with the health of the blood.
By eating judiciously and aiding
your digestion you will also strengthen your immune system. |
