Nutritional Immunology
The ultimate benefit,
and very purpose of the detox footbath is to release the incredible power of our
immune system!
Every day our immune system defends us from pollution
and foreign invaders, including our own
cells when they mutate into cancer causing cells. Did you know that only your immune system can
repair, heal, and cure you of illness and disease? Look in any medical textbook or ask any doctor
and they will tell you that any illness that goes away as a result of a
prescribed course of treatment or procedures is also destined to return when the
treatment does not include paying attention to the important role of the immune
system. If a patient is not taught to acknowledge the importance of
changing their lifestyle to better support their immune system, as part of their
long term recovery plan, the old disease or some other new one is almost always
certain to re-manifest.
After each Detox session, it is common to feel an
immediate relief from disease and illness symptoms. Even though you may feel
this relief, it should be noted that Detox footbath treatments do not heal or
cure diseases and conditions directly. The role of the Detox system
should be viewed as that of a relaxing alternative therapy for reducing unwanted
toxins from the body; it is only an aid in the healing process carried out by
your immune system. According to the theory of Nutritional
Immunology, only your
immune system can heal your body and cure you of your illness and
disease. So the footbath technology is only a valuable way of assisting
the body to detoxify its organs and tissues. This detoxification process
miraculously aids in the healing process carried out by our immune system.
The theory of Nutritional Immunology gets a lot of
credibility from the simple fact that every natural method for regaining health
consistently always includes some sort of special routine or nutritional diet
for detoxing, nourishing, and balancing the immune system and it's supporting
organs of detoxification. The theory of Nutritional Immunology simple states
that for the immune system to function at optimum levels, it must be given
special nutrition, and that we must modify our lifestyle in a way that is known
to support the immune system's function. For example, we must strive to
reduce our exposure to environmental toxins. This is done by mainly consuming
pesticide-free organically grown wholesome plant food without toxins in the form
of chemicals and preservatives (not an easy task!). We must also learn to
reduce and manage our stress levels; as well as make sure we are getting proper
sleep and rest.
We must recognize and take into account that all the organs of our body are not
separate, but interrelated and connected; and so before the optimum function of
the immune system can be restored, each organ of the body associated with
supporting the immune system must be restored to health also. These supporting
organs; the liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines, and skin, for example, aid the
immune system by either processing and removing toxic waste; acting as a barrier
to protect the body; or simply ensuring the absorption of necessary nutrients
from foods we eat. In conclusion, when the immune system is unhealthy, it
is either because the organs that supports the immune system are sick (due to
toxicity), or because the immune system and its supporting organs are
malnourished as a result of years of not getting the vital nutrients required
for its function!
By now we hope you have noticed the recurring theme: when any system in
the body is sick, it is usually because of toxin build-up in the tissues or
organs. One way toxin build-up can happen is acutely; because we are suddenly
bombarded by so much toxins that our detoxing system is unable to remove them
fast enough without extra help from us (i.e by changing our lifestyle and
engaging in detoxification treatment to support the immune systems).
Shockingly, toxic build-up is usually chronic (gradual); that's right... the
number one reason for toxin build-up in our bodies is because we not helping the
immune system do it's job for years. Since the number one factor for immune
sytem health is nutrition, it is due to years of malnutrition. However,
malnutrition here doesn't mean we are not eating enough food in quantity; it
simply means that for years, we were not providing our body with all the right
types of food nutrition, in the proper form the immune system and it's
supporting organs need on a daily basis. This last point illustrates how
important it is to provide our immune system and its supporting organs with all
the vital nutrition they need on a daily basis. To learn more about restoring
the function of your immune system through proper nutrition, visit www.nutritionimmunology.com

Let's get back to talking about the importance of supporting our immune
system. When we are healthy, we must support our immune system so that it can
continue to keep us healthy as a preventative measure. And since only the
immune system can heal, when we are sick, we must support our immune system so
that it can heal us. It all sounds so simple, but it becomes quite complicated
if the immune system itself is unhealthy. An unhealthy immune system cannot
properly perform its defending and healing function. When the immune system is
unhealthy, it gets rather complicated because it is, unfortunately, not an easy
task to bring the immune system back to health. As we have already established,
the problem lies in the fact that all the systems of the body are
interconnected; in order to restore the immune system function, we must also
restore the function of all its supporting organs. This is a rather slow
process. Isn't it scary that this the situation inside the body of a sick
individual fighting a serious illness or disease. It is ironic that so many
people don't even realize how serious the situation is when it is a weak immune
system that is trying to nurse them back to health. A very sick individual's
immune system is already under so much stress that at any time their health
could take the turn for the worst if they don't quickly find ways to support
their immune function.
One way to indirectly support our immune system's health and function is to
simply detoxify all the other organs in the body, especially the organs that are
most related to supporting the immune function (i.e circulatory system, kidney,
liver, intestines, colon, etc.). By simply helping to detoxify these
supporting organs, we are not only lessening the strain on the very organ and on
the immune system, but we are also dramatically increasing the immune system's
function. This is because of the fact that when these supporting organs become
somewhat less toxic, they will thus be better able to carry out their supporting
role of the immune system more efficiently. As the supporting organs of
the immune system become more nourished and detoxified, the faster and better
they are able to carry out their task; thus the faster and better the immune
system can can carry out its healing and defending task!
How to help and support the immune system:
We have already established that the immune system is
overworked and stressed, and that this is because we are malnourished and taking
in too many toxins into our bodies. Therefore the simplest way to help our
immune system is to cut down on the amount of toxins we are consuming and/or are
exposed to on a daily basis. People who are sick need to be especially diligent
about this. The next way to support our immune system is through proper
nutrition; we need to learn which foods
will support our immune function and its supporting detoxing organs.
The very sick need to understand these points because it may mean life or death.
Though nutrition is the number one factor, there are other ways of supporting
the immune system, some are obvious and some not so obvious; for example,
reducing one's stress level, getting regular exercise, sleep, and rest. Now let
us take a look at the role of the footbath in supporting the immune system.
Detox Footbath is an external method that helps to
detoxify every organ, tissue, and cell in our body directly and indirectly by
re-energizing the natural waste elimination and detoxification function of the
immune system and it's supporting organs.
How and why it helps:
To understand the importance of the footbath, let us
keep in mind that most illnesses and disease happen because of toxin
accumulation and build-up in our organs and tissues. Accumulation happens
as a result of the immune system and it's supporting organs being backed up,
(unable to remove toxins fast enough from the body compared to the rate of
intake). Furthermore, the immune system and it's supporting organs become
backed up as a result of either of an acute over-exposure to toxins or because
of a chronic (gradual) toxin build-up due to years of being malnourished (not
getting all the vital nutrients necessary for proper function). This is why all
natural and herbal health protocols are promoting that we eat foods that
the immune system needs on a daily basis. Furthermore, all natural health
protocols, state that we should reduce our intake and exposure to (more) toxins.
Finally, reducing the amount of toxins already in our body by using either
external or internal detoxing agents is the ultimate and most significant part
of most Detoxification protocols for restoring health. In conclusion, the
goal of most healing and health recovery program is detoxification (and to
remove toxins faster from the body faster than the rate of intake). This is the
only way our immune system and the supporting organs can keep up in this toxic
world. Detox footbathing is an example of an external Detoxification
method.
When we are following a detoxification program or treatment, the mechanisms by
which our body heals can be viewed as a positive feed back loop involving the
immune system and its supporting organs. This mechanism is as follows: as more
toxins get removed by the from the poisoned organ and tissues (by the
Detoxification method), these organs are better able to support the immune
system; thus the immune system is able to repair its supporting organs faster
and faster. As the supporting organs are repaired faster and faster, they
will be able to support the immune system better and better until it is finally
working at the optimum level. Now functioning properly, the immune system, the
greatest Doctor in the world, can now keep up in its vital task of defending,
repairing, and healing our body and mind (assuming we continue to give it proper
nutrition).
Sadly, today, even after our body has healed itself from a battle with an
illness, the war is not over. We are living in a toxic world and eating
foods that are so toxic and stripped of vital nutrients not only because of high
speed processing techniques that uses high temperatures and chemical additives,
but also because of the mass growing and harvesting techniques used in modern
farming and agriculture. These techniques all focus on quantity and profit
rather than on quality, therefore, we have no choice but to continue to help our
body detoxify. We must continue to monitor what we eat in order to reduce
our intake of toxins while also insuring that we are getting the essential
nutrients necessary for detoxing, nourishing
and balancing our immune
system and body.
The footbath is an external method that helps to detoxify
every organ, tissue, and cell in our body. The footbath helps the immune system
and its supporting organs by dramatically reducing the detoxification workload
that they would have to otherwise carry out on their own. This gives the
immune system more time and resources to for tissue repair, and fighting
diseases. As each type of tissue or organ is detoxed within our body, we
are going to notice a significant change in the way we feel. This feeling,
called the healing
reaction (or detoxing effect), is often a positive feeling with Detox
footbath use. However the feeling can also be a temporary uncomfortable
feeling until our body has adapted to having so much less toxins. Imagine
that, our tissues and organs inside our bodies are so use to living in a highly
toxic environment that we actually have to get used to having less toxins in our
body!
While it is amazing that the Detox footbath is often able to provide immediate
relief for sufferers of so many chronic symptoms, there is a far greater benefit
from the footbath's use. This benefit is of course the tremendous positive
effect it has on the immune system, the only body system that can heal, repair,
and cure. When Detox footbath is used to externally eliminate toxins from our
body, in conjunction with an effective Herbal or Dietary Health protocol, the
whole body and the immune system is consequently re-energized. Only then is the
immune system able to do it's full job repairing, healing, preventing, and
curing virtually all diseases!
New scientific research suggests that all types of
illnesses and diseases, such as cancer,
heart disease, arthritis, etc., can be prevented through
proper nourishment and care of the immune system, and that a persons overall
health and wellness can be greatly improved! The Detox footbath session
is care for the immune system; it is a revolutionary way to re-balance,
re-energize and detoxify the body; which promotes further healing by the immune
system.
The footbath session re-stabilizes the cells of the body so that normal
physiological functions run at optimal levels, particularly the uptake of
necessary nutrients and the elimination of unwanted waste products. These
benefits dramatically help to restore the immune system to normal functioning,
not only, by reducing the stress on it, but also by
helping the body to better absorb the necessary
nutrients we need to eat in order to restore its functions!
