Work impairment is by and large not the main harm that colds bring us. On average, 25 years of life are taken away from us by colds alone.
If you are constantly catching colds or flu when they become epidemic, then we can say for sure that your immune system is not working normally. At that, our rational body starts looking for a life-saving remedy. One of them is the common cold. This discovery was made by the famous naturopath Alexander Chuprun and called it programmed immunity shutdown.
Many disorders in the body can be a sign that it is severely poisoned. It is a kind of a garbage can, inside of which particles of dead cells and protein mass are stored (intercellular spaces are cluttered with it and lymphatic vessels are literally stuffed with it). This “garbage” interferes with the normal functioning of the body, prevents cells from “communicating” with each other, reducing the strength of electrical signals transmitted by cells to each other. It is this category that is first of all exposed to colds, flu and various other diseases.
This happens because a littered body does not resist disease, but on the contrary, accepts it with open arms, perceiving microbes as deliverers to whom you can feed your junk. Such an organism is a perfect feast table for all kinds of bacteria, which must come and “eat” dead and polluted cells, turning them into liquid waste. And they can be removed from the body by lymph and blood through the kidneys and other ways of excretion of wastes and poisons.
It turns out that the human body, having “signed” in its own inability to cleanse itself, tries to revitalize itself at the expense of colds, flu and other diseases. Exactly so. The body, from time to time “turning off” immunity, is forced to call for help bacteria and viruses, primarily those that are always waiting for their time, in small quantities present in the body. And sometimes you may be lucky enough to catch something from the outside – flu or some other infection more serious….
But why does the body find itself unable to excrete its own waste?
Yes, we should not take comfort in the idea that mother nature has taken care to provide us with a proper “sewage system”. Its possibilities are always insufficient, especially in case of unhygienic behavior, first of all, because of common customs in nutrition and, as I have already said, sedentary lifestyle, energy depletion. The body of modern man does not have time to excrete its own waste, and the self-dissolution of dead cells and protein mass is unbearably slow under normal conditions.
It is not for nothing that various means of helping the body to cleanse itself have long been invented, from Russian baths and Finnish saunas to modern “cleansing” of the intestines or liver. All of these are quite effective measures for people who do not follow a healthy, maximally close to natural way of life.
Illness is not a harm, but a benefit to the body.
Most modern medical theories are based on the fact that the body actively resists the disease, but it lacks its own strength to “defeat” the disease. Therefore, it must be helped by doctors, who do this primarily with the help of various drugs. The supplier of these means is the pharmaceutical industry, whose task is to produce more and more new and more effective drugs – killers, the purpose of which is to exterminate the initiators of disease – microbes and viruses. Huge amounts of money are spent on the production of these drugs. Today, one can already hear complaints that the doctor does not work for the patient, but rather for the pharmaceutical industry, helping it to sell new drugs. Patients also grumble, but, misled by the very concept of disease, they swallow the pills obediently. More than fifty years ago, physician A. Zalmanov called this process taking place in our society “pharmaceutical bacchanalia”, but even today it has not slowed down, but continues to gain momentum.
Thus, the need to fight against germs seems to be very urgent for a society almost entirely composed of people in the so-called “third state”, and – seeing no other way out – “fixated” on this fight. But it is of little use: for in the body of most people a “well-prepared table” awaits them. The disease may be temporarily suppressed, but after some time it will return anyway… perhaps in a more formidable form, for example, not in the form of flu, but in the form of cancer or AIDS.
Very relevant is the hypothesis of pathologist A.V.Rusakov – “quite bold”, according to few orthodox doctors familiar with it. It consists in the fact that the sick organism does not fight the disease, but feeds it itself. From my point of view, viruses and germs can be regarded as sanitarians of the organism.
Infections are one of nature’s greatest assets that we just don’t know how to use.
And it is known that many people feel better after a cold! True naturopaths “as if” know that the immunodeficiency state, during which the disease occurs, is precisely to allow friends – microbes to work in our body, to clean it from the food for microbes, which otherwise the body could not remove.
Speaking about my attitude towards orthodox medicine, I would like to quote from a book by Harry Benjamin, a member of the British Association of Naturopaths: “The author has great respect for the efforts made by both individual physicians and medicine as a whole to help suffering humanity. The tragedy, however, is that these efforts are directed in an entirely false direction. For the philosophy of disease, the foundation on which the entire edifice of modern medicine is built, is fundamentally false…”
There is no special “antiviral remedy” – there is no need for it. Disease is not an enemy, but a friend of man.
It makes no sense to fight it, it is necessary to cooperate with it. Therefore, it is necessary to help the disease by applying mainly diet,cleansingtechniques, fasting and hygienic procedures in order to achieve the occurrence of a healing crisis in the patient, simply put – exacerbation of a chronic disease. Then a “prescription” for dry fasting is “written” – until the symptoms of the crisis completely disappear. Of course, it is always a matter of refusing to further renounce the lifestyle and diet that led to ill-health.
As a result of dry fasting, the body actively cleanses itself of its own internal garbage – the body eats itself. Starvation is such a universal and exhaustive method that there is almost nothing to add to it. During absolute fasting the self-dissolution (autolysis) of dead cells and protein mass is sharply increased, and in this case there is no need for the help of microbes and viruses. Therefore, they are removed by the body itself, which “turns on” the immune defense mechanisms.
The most common complication of influenza is pneumonia, and it is usually a secondary bacterial infection. Combined infection (viral and bacterial pneumonia) is more rare. Primary viral pneumonia is a rare complication characterized by high mortality. It occurs when influenza is caused by a virus of the highest virulence. Lightning-fast, fatal hemorrhagic pneumonia develops, lasting no more than 3-4 days. True primary influenza pneumonia can be observed, especially in patients suffering from chronic heart and lung disease, accompanied by pulmonary congestion. Other secondary bacterial infections that often occur after influenza are rhinitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, and otitis media. Influenza and acute respiratory viral infections (ARI) are the most frequent and most common in the world, accounting for 95% of all infectious diseases. Every year up to 500 million people fall ill in the world, 2 million of whom die. In Russia, from 27.3 to 41.2 million people fall ill with influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections annually.
If you suddenly feel sickness, throat and nose, you should start fasting immediately, without delaying an hour.
Viruses are very tricky substances.They once had a cellular structure, but then in the process of evolution they acquired a structure simpler than a cell. A virus is just a strand of DNA (there are also RNA-containing viruses) surrounded by a shell. This makes it much easier for it to live. The virus secretes special enzymes that dissolve the nasal mucosa and penetrates the mucosa. Once inside the mucosa, the virus embeds its DNA into the DNA of the mucous membrane. As a result, the previously normal cell starts synthesizing the virus DNA (no more and no less!) instead of its own DNA. As a result, it dies, and the viruses are released in huge numbers and penetrate other cells. The reaction develops avalanche-like and very quickly. Therefore, it is necessary to start treatment without delaying an hour, not that a day. Dead cells release biologically active substances, or abbreviated BAV. Together with viral toxins, BAS cause inflammation, which loosens cell membranes and contributes to the further even faster spread of viruses.
Following the lesion of the nasal cavity, the development of such unpleasant phenomena as runny nose and sneezing, the trachea and bronchi are affected with the development of such symptoms as cough, chest pain, etc. Initially, the inflammation is viral in nature, but then in the inflamed tissue begin to multiply bacteria, which in normal conditions are incapable of parasitizing within the body and are therefore called conditionally pathogenic, In this case, once on the weakened tissue weakened by the virus, they, like viruses, develop vigorous vitality. Microbial inflammation at a certain point begins to dominate over the virus and continues long after the viruses have disappeared from the body. ARI causes such severe stress in the body that even after full recovery, microbleeding remains in the brain. This is what is so harmless at first glance, ARI.
Dry fasting will of course be an invaluable aid to healing. Combining fasting with an acute infection helps the body to cleanse itself faster and to rest from the damaging effects of external factors. The best option is to startfastingat the first signs of illness. If you feel even minor signs of malaise, immediately refuse food and water. In this case, fasting for 1-3 days is enough to get rid of the disease. But in practice there are few people who can be so attentive to their body. Therefore, most often it is necessary to starve at the developed manifestations of respiratory infection. And here such a short period of time can not do. It is necessary to fast for at least 5-7 days, i.e. to fast before the crisis.
The effectiveness of dry fasting is extremely high.
Any inflammatory disease goes away 2-3 times faster than with normal, water starvation. The whole point is that inflammation cannot exist without water. Any inflamed place swells (swells with water). Only in a sufficient water environment can microorganisms: microbes and viruses can multiply. Water deficiency is disastrous for inflammation. Without water, microbes and viruses die instantly. Due to dehydration of the body begins a strong competition between body cells and pathogenic microorganisms for water. Body cells in the position of the host take water from microorganisms, but the body itself can not only synthesize endogenous water in the required amount, also water during this period comes from the air, absorbed through the skin. This is because the body works on absorption rather than excretion during dry fasting. Healthy, strong cells receive additional energy and water, while sick, viruses and bacteria cannot. But it turns out that the most therapeutic is another interesting mechanism. A virus builds microtubules (sting) to embed its genetic information, but it needs water to build them. In experiments in experimental mice, food restriction increased 5-9 times the production of antiviral protein interferon in response to the introduction of nucleic acid, which served as a model of the virus.
Accordingly, under the harsh competitive conditions of drystarvation, water cannot be obtained by the virus, so the mechanism of introduction ceases.
Our body has a whole system of amoeba-like cells called the “phagocytic mononuimar system”, which is a bit complicated for an outsider’s perception. Each organ has a group of cells specific only to that organ, which has the appearance of amoebas and migrates throughout the organ, eating and digesting everything foreign. There are such specific cells in the skin, and in the liver, and in the heart, and even in the brain. They are constantly migrating, looking for prey. The only trouble is that when a person eats any, even plant food, it contains a small amount of fat. And phagocytes (phagocytizing mononuclei), instead of performing their direct duties, are engaged in what captures and digests these fat droplets, as if they do not care about anything else. So: during starvation, phagocytes are left without food, i.e. without fat. And they begin to perform their direct duties: capture and digest bacteria, viruses, cell remnants, old, dying cells (thus contributing to the renewal and even rejuvenation of the body). They also digest cancer cells, which are always present in the body, even in normal conditions.
The human body can withstand 10 days of water deprivation (with low motor activity and high air temperature). Strange as it may seem, the body itself is able to synthesize water. It takes oxygen from the air and hydrogen from fatty tissue. That is why during dry fasting weight loss can reach 3 kg per day, but only due to water. It should be said that the body also has certain water reserves. The skin alone stores up to 2 liters of water. There are water reserves in some cavities of the body (serous cavities), some internal organs. Worse or worse, but even with an active movement mode, the body will always last 5 days.
The effectiveness of treatment using dry fasting is 2-3 times higher than water fasting. Acute respiratory illness can be cured in just one day. Influenza in 2-3 days. Pneumonia in 4-5 days.
Of course, subjectively dry fasting is tolerated quite hard and is accompanied by weakness. However, I have met people who were completely free of weakness and even had a slight euphoria during dry fasting. Sometimes we are put in such conditions, when there is almost no time for ordinary treatment and even ordinary fasting. When flying or traveling with transplants, in complicated conditions, when there is no possibility even to clean the intestines, it is possible to make an attempt of dry fasting without cleansing the intestines. Subjectively such fasting will be tolerated much worse, but the anti-inflammatory result will be exactly the same, and since the treatment itself due to its high efficiency will take very little time, the recovery period will also be small. Short-term dry fasting can be successfully used not only in the treatment of colds, but also in all those cases when there is inflammation of any internal organ (and external too). Starvation treats boils on the skin and inflammation of the liver (hepatitis), inflammation of the inner ear and inflammation of the periosteum with equal success. Regardless of the location of the inflammation, the effect is always very good.
Starvation activates all the body’s defenses. Every single one of them. And for that we should thank it very much.
