 "BODY BUILDING Mesynchymal Tissue is part ofthe embryonic mesoderm cells, set in a gelatinous matrix precursing connective tissues, bone, cartilage, vascular circulation, the urogenital systems, Body cavity linings; and the lymph system, including the spleen and liver Kupfer's cells' reticuloendothelial system of targeting foreign matter destruction by Immune Macrophage phagocytosis; distinct from organ Parenchymal tissue (both helped by Echinacea herb). Parenchymal Tissue is the fundamental tissue in higherplants, composed of living, unspecialized cells from which all other cells are formed. The forerunners to organ and gland tissues, distinct from cartilage Mesenchymal tissue. SEE Muscles, Energy, and Exercise."- Joseph E.

 "Nutrients are involved in all Body processes, from combating infection to repairing tissue to thinking. Although nutrients have different specific functions, their common function is to keep us going.
Research has shown that each part of the Body contains high concentrations of certain nutrients. A deficiency of those nutrients will cause the Body part to malfunction and eventually break down—and, like dominos, other Body parts will follow. To keep this from happening, we need a proper diet and appropriate nutritional supplements. Brain function, memory, skin elasticity, eyesight, energy, the ratio of lean-to-fat tissue in the Body, and overall health are all indications of how well the Body is functioning."- Phyllis A.

| "Fastto a moderate degree; too much may result in Body tissue nutrients cannibalized. Knowyour own limit. In short-term Caloric deprivation the Body uses muscle Protein and about 35% adipocyte (cellular) fat for its main Calorie source. When Body reserves are depleted in fasting, Protein is drawn first from deformed, cancerous tissues; and energy needs are met from excess material and toxins, the firsttissues eligible for metabolizing and elimination. This keeps the Body clean and helps unlodge and metabol ize toxic wastes that are slowing cellular respiration, or interfering with Enzyme action, and actually increases Body charge, fertility (as observed inthe animal world in salmon, adelie penguin, Alaskan bull fur seal, etc." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book) |
 "The active tissue of the Body and the lens of the eye require higher concentrations of vitamin C. The level of vitamin C in the blood is about 0.5 mg/dl, while in the lens of the eye vitamin C is concentrated by at least a factor of twenty. In order for this concentration to be maintained in these tissues, the Body has to generate enormous amounts of energy to pull vitamin C out of the blood against this tremendous gradient. By keeping blood vitamin C levels elevated, you are helping the Body to concentrate vitamin C into active tissue by reducing the gradient."- Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition (Get the book) |

| "As higher animals evolved, nerve tissue encephalized into Brain tissue altering the ratio of Body mass to total nerve tissue, reducing nerve fibers available for regenerative synthesis (a lowratio ofnerveto limb tissue), causing a lack of cells able to dedifferentiate and form a blastema. In each stage of eel 1 differentiations, one set of genes remains active (all others stay dormant) making messenger RNA that spurs Ribosomes' differential Proteins' manufacture. Dedifferentiation is involved with the way cell membranes pass Calcium ions. Each adult cell contains the entire genetic blueprint for a Body, which genes are dormant, or inhibited from expression." - Joseph E. Mario, Anti-Aging Manual: The Encyclopedia of Natural Health (Get the book) |
 "Hodgkin's Disease
Hodgkin's disease is a little-understood Cancer of lymph tissue, the tissue that houses much of the body's immune function. This tissue is organized into lymph nodes found in various parts of the Body. In North America, Hodgkin's disease usually strikes either young boys or elderly men.
Often the only symptoms of Hodgkin's disease at first are night sweats with low-grade fever. In approximately 10 percent of cases, there is a skin itch in the early stages. As the disease progresses, it causes increasing inflammation. The lymph nodes become swollen, and there may be coughing, chest pain, and bone pain."- Phyllis A.

 "This material, both solid and in solution, has a markedly corrosive action upon all Body tissue, causing burns and frequently deep ulceration, with ultimate scarring. Mists, vapors, and dusts of this compound cause small burns, and contact with the eyes rapidly causes severe damage to the delicate tissue. Swallowing causes very serious damage to the nose and throat or other tissues with which contact is made. It can cause perforation and scarring. Breathing of the dust or concentrated mist can cause damage to the upper respiratory tract and to lung tissue, depending upon the severity of the exposure."- Grace Ross Lewis, 1001 Chemicals in Everyday Products (Get the book) |
| "Deep tissue work, such as Rolfing and Hellerwork, are probably the most powerful bodywork techniques that create change in Body posture and energy levels quickly. Unlike massage and spinal adjustment, Rolfing and Hellerwork are focused not on the muscles and spine, but rather on the elastic sheathing network that helps support the Body, keeping bones, muscles, and organs in place. This network is known as the fascia. According to Rolfers and Hellerwork practitioners, the fascia can be damaged by physical injury, emotional trauma, and bad postural habits. The result is that the Body is thrown out of alignment." - Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition (Get the book) |

| "He felt that his capsules had "taught" the Body to tolerate myelin and stop its attack.
Weiner went on to report in 1993 that he felt the capsules of specialized proteins worked by turning on regulatory cells in the intestines. These activated cells then traveled to the tissue that had been mistakenly attacked by the immune system where they secreted a second protein that stopped the body's attack against itself. (Notice that while the results of this test uphold Lee's suggestion that ingesting tissue will keep the Body from destroying organs, the theory behind how this is done is quite different." - Duncan Long, Attaining Medical Self Sufficiency (Get the book) |
| "While Omega-3 doesn't actually help the immune system fight off disease, it does seem to "fine tune" it so it doesn't attack normal tissue within the Body. In studies conducted at Harvard Medical School in Boston and Albany Medical College in New York, researchers found that arthritis sufferers could help reduce their symptoms by

The researchers found that the pain and some other symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (which causes the body's immune system to attack the body's own tissues), can be decreased with such a diet.
Omega-3 fatty acids are also available in the form of fish-oil capsules." - Duncan Long, Attaining Medical Self Sufficiency (Get the book) |
| "Weiner believes this is because the protein used in the MS study (an extract of myelin — the tissue that covers bundles of nerve cells in the body) prevented damage to the sheaths of nerve cells. Weiner postulates that MS is caused when immune cells attack and destroy myelin, ingesting the protein. He felt that his capsules had "taught" the Body to tolerate myelin and stop its attack.
Weiner went on to report in 1993 that he felt the capsules of specialized proteins worked by turning on regulatory cells in the intestines.

| "Loss of Body mass is a serious and life-threatening complication of AIDS. European herbalists frequently prescribe saw palmetto to people with AIDS and other chronic diseases who are suffering from severe weight loss. Saw palmetto causes the muscle-building hormone dihydrotestosterone to be blocked from receptor sites in the sex organs and in tissues producing secondary sex characteristics, and instead to stimulate the deposit of proteins into muscle tissue.
• Menopause-related problems. Hirsutism, or excessive growth of Body hair, is a side effect produced by excess testosterone levels in women." - Phyllis A.

 "Anabolism is the activity that creates the building blocks of the body; in short, it is the transformation of nutritive substances into living tissue. Catabolism is the process consisting of the breakdown of the nutrients that are necessary for the creation of energy and the maintenance of life; it is essentially the transformation into energy of materials assimilated by the tissues. Catabolism, however, frees acids and can release them in excessive amounts, especially when we eat too many acidifying foods.
When the Body is in an acidified state, the hematia—the red blood cells—use only 5 to 10 percent of their carrying capacity to transport oxygen to cells."- Marie-France Muller, M.D., N.D., Ph.D., Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements: How to Restore the Body's Natural Vitality (Get the book) |
| "They range from the reflux menstruation theory, in which menstrual tissue flows back through the fallopian tubes and into the pelvic cavity, to the fetal defect theory, in which endometrial tissue attaches itself to the wrong Body tissues before birth. There also appears to be a link between environmental toxins and endometriosis, since women whose livers are able to effectively detoxify poisons rarely suffer from this disorder.
Conventional treatment of endometriosis consists of surgery and hormonal drugs." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Herbal Healing: An Easy-to-Use A-Z Reference to Hundreds of Common Disorders and Their Herbal Remedies (Get the book) |
| "Lysine
Lysine is an essential amino acid required for many Body functions, including growth and bone development in children; calcium absorption and maintenance of the correct nitrogen balance in the body; maintenance of lean Body mass; production of antibodies, hormones, and enzymes; collagen formation and repair of tissue.
Since lysine helps with the building of muscle protein, higher intakes of lysine are useful for patients recovering from injuries or operations, and lysine supplementation may be used to help maintain healthy blood vessels.
The most popular use of lysine is in fighting herpes infections and cold sores." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book) |
| "Estrogen stimulates tissue growth in the first half of the cycle. Progesterone regulates such growth in the second half. If a woman's Body produces more estrogen than progesterone, stimulation exceeds regulation, and breast tissue grows. If a woman's breast cells are genetically coded to have more estrogen receptors, or docking points, than usual, fibrocystic disease develops.
Fibrocystic breast cells also respond to other hormones. A woman's Body contains some testosterone, the main male hormone, and another hormone called aromatase converts testosterone into estrogen." - Phyllis A.

 "It is believed, in ayurveda, that the qualities of the rasa influence the health of other dha-tus (tissues) of the Body. Hence, any medicines or herbs, such as rasaya-nas, that improve the quality of rasa should strengthen or promote the health of all tissues of the Body.

| "In order for this concentration to be maintained in these tissues, the Body has to generate enormous amounts of energy to pull vitamin C out of the blood against this tremendous gradient. By keeping blood vitamin C levels elevated, you are helping the Body to concentrate vitamin C into active tissue by reducing the gradient. That is probably why dosages of at least 1,000 mg are required to increase the vitamin C content of the lens.
Glutathione
Glutathione is a small protein (peptide) composed of the three amino acids glycine, glutamic acid, and cysteine." - Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition (Get the book) |
| "These activated cells then traveled to the tissue that had been mistakenly attacked by the immune system where they secreted a second protein that stopped the body's attack against itself. (Notice that while the results of this test uphold Lee's suggestion that ingesting tissue will keep the Body from destroying organs, the theory behind how this is done is quite different.)
Weiner cautioned that the finding was only "suggestive" of a new therapy, in part because there were so few patients involved in the research. "We don't want patients to think that we now have a treatment that definitely works," Weiner said. "What it does is open up a new area of investigation that may apply to all the auto-immune diseases." - Duncan Long, Attaining Medical Self Sufficiency (Get the book) |
 "These main hormones travel around the Body in a free state, as well as bound to proteins.
One such protein is called sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG); its role is to maintain a dynamic hormonal balance in the Body. SHBG binds or attaches to hormones and carries them to different receptor sites on cell membranes throughout the Body, where they can be utilized in different ways. The effect it has depends on which hormone it binds to, and which receptor site it is carried to. For instance, in men, estrogen and dihydrotestosterone bound to SHBG are usually carried to the receptor sites on the prostate gland, and once there in excessive amounts, can stimulate prostate tissue cells to divide and grow rapidly—resulting in BPH."- Leslie Taylor, ND, The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs: A Guide to Understanding and Using Herbal Medicinals (Get the book) |
| "They are also utilized by the Body in detoxification reactions, helping the Body to excrete heavy metals, and reducing bladder irritation by regulating the formation of ammonia in the urine.
Methionine is also converted in the Body to S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM, or SAMe). This compound is involved in more than forty biochemical reactions in the Body. It functions closely with folic acid and vitamin B12 in "methylation" reactions. Methylation is the process of adding a single carbon unit (a methyl group) to another molecule. SAMe is many times more effective in transferring methyl groups than other methyl donors." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book) |
| "The Role of the Hypothalamus and Endorphins
Many of the symptoms of menopause, especially hot flashes, appear to be a result of altered function of the hypothalamus, a mass of nervous tissue at the center of the brain that serves as the bridge between the nervous system and the hormonal (endocrine) system. The hypothalamus is responsible for the control of many Body functions, including Body temperature, metabolic rate, sleep patterns, reactions to stress, libido, mood, and the release of pituitary hormones. Critical to proper functioning of the hypothalamus are the endorphins, the body's own mood-elevating and pain-relieving compounds." - Michael T. Murray, N.D., Joseph E. Pizzorno, N.D., Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, Revised Second Edition (Get the book) |
| "When exercise is included in a weight loss program, there is usually an improvement in Body composition due to a gain in lean Body weight because of an increase in muscle mass and an accompanying decrease in Body fat.
• Exercise helps counter the reduction in basal metabolic rate that usually accompanies calorie restriction alone.
• Exercise increases the basal metabolic rate for an extended period of time following the exercise session. Thus, extra calories are consumed for many hours after each exercise session.
• Moderate to intense exercise may have an appetite suppressant effect." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book) |
 "Because of its exceptional bitterness, citrus seed extract works in the Body like most bitters, but more effectively for purposes of drying damp conditions in the Body. (Pathogenic microbes can v cause as well as feed off damp excesses in the Body.) This extract has been found to inhibit members of several classes of microbes and parasites, among them: protozoa, amoebas, bacteria, viruses, and at least thirty different types of fungi, including the Candida yeast-like fungi. It is available as a major ingredient in liquid w extracts, capsules, sprays, ointments, and a variety of other forms for treating a host of maladies."- Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book) |
| "A diet rich in animal fats not only promotes wind/damp obstructions as mentioned above, but also contributes directly to tissue pain and inflammation in another way. Animal fats are the primary sources of arachidonic acid, which through various metabolic pathways in the Body initiates the production of pain-inducing, inflammatory prostaglandins (PGE2) as well as leukotrienes (discussed in Oils and Fats chapter). Leukotrienes are the most powerful sources of inflammation yet discovered in the Body, and their production can be inhibited by ingestion of omega-3 and GLA fatty acids, recommended as part of the regeneration diets." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book) |
| "Mineral-Rich Formula
An herbal formula for improving teeth, bones, arteries, and all connective tissue, and for strengthening calcium metabolism in the body: 1 part Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) 1 part Oatstraw (Avena sativa) 1 part Kombu seaweed or Kelp powder % part Lobelia (Lobelia inflata)
Simmer each 1 ounce of formula in 1 pint water for 25 minutes and drink V2 cup two or three times a day. At the end of every three weeks, stop using the formula for one week. Those with bone and connective-tissue weaknesses can expect noticeable renewal from taking this formula during one entire season of the year, ideally in winter." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book) |
| "To maintain health, the Body needs to exhibit enhanced adaptation to both stress and the results of stress.
Very often, the root of many dysfunctions is nonspecific because they are caused by chronic stress. For example, in some people, stress causes their blood pressure to go up. With others, it causes a drop in pressure. It is the same thing for blood sugar. Stress causes excessive blood sugar levels for some, while causing low blood sugar levels for others. Adaptogens help to normalize these and other Body functions and to keep the body's systems in balance." - David Winston, RH(AHG), and Steven Maimes, Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief (Get the book) |
| "From a modern standpoint, meat also builds the tissue and blood of the Body with its high nutrient content. Therefore, shouldn't we label meat yin? Yes—we may label those aspects of red meat yin. However, meat also has a high caloric content, which can produce an abundance of energy, and from this standpoint meat is yang. And yet, if we consider the mucus buildup resulting from meat consumption (compared with most plant foods), and its acid-forming nature which can cause toxic reactions throughout the Body, it is easily understood why most people now designate meat as a long-term weakening (yin) food if consumed in large amounts." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book) |
 "Levin suspects that a chemically damaged thymus might pass defective cells into the Body — in particular, cells that might attack the body's own tissue, causing autoimmune disease. It also may be that toxic chemicals damage DNA enzymes, causing cells to die or perhaps even produce cancer-causing genes, or oncogenes. And finally, chemicals might trigger already existing, but quiescent, oncogenes, causing the gradual development of Cancer down the line.
For Levin, then, far from not displaying any telltale laboratory signs, MCS offers clear and consistent markers."- Peter Radetsky, Allergic to the Twentieth Century: The Explosion in Environmental Allergies--From Sick Buildings to Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (Get the book) |
 "That is what happens with MS; the wayward electrical signals may destroy cells and "burn" patches of neighboring tissue, leaving little scars orbits of sclerotic tissue. These "burns" can become serious and ultimately destroy the Body.
The initial research showing an effect of diet on MS goes back more than half a century to the research of Dr. Roy Swank, who began his work in Norway and at the Montreal Neurological Institute during the 1940s. Later, Dr. Swank headed the Division of Neurology at the University of Oregon Medical School.43

| "The first point of contact of the material coming in is with the respiratory tissue and the mucosal surface."
Once there, enzymes in the inhaled chemicals may break down the tissue or the fluid that bathes it. As a result, the tissue may produce substances that stimulate underlying nerve fibers, or the chemicals themselves may make contact with the nerves. And as a result of that stimulation, the fibers may produce substance P as well as other nerve-stimulating materials. "They can be released locally and cause local effects. And they can also be released centrally and stimulate systemic reflexes," Bascom says." - Peter Radetsky, Allergic to the Twentieth Century: The Explosion in Environmental Allergies--From Sick Buildings to Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (Get the book) |
 "VITAMIN A: Repair Your Respiratory Tract
Vitamin A helps to strengthen the epithelium, the tissue that lines your lungs, so that your Body is better able to fight off the pneumonia, Dr. Lombardi says. Use the liquid "mycelized" form of vitamin A, which is maximally absorbable. She recommends taking 25,000 to 50,000 international units (IU) a day during the first 3 to 5 days of the illness, then tapering to 10,000 to 25,000 IU until your symptoms are gone, but only under the supervision of a health care practitioner.
VITAMINS C AND E: A Winning Combination
When your Body fights infection, it produces free radicals, unstable molecules that can damage cells and make them more prone to bacterial invasion."- Bill Gottlieb, Alternative Cures: The Most Effective Natural Home Remedies for 160 Health Problems (Get the book) |
| "Mists, vapors, and dusts of this compound cause small burns, and contact with the eyes rapidly causes severe damage to the delicate tissue. Swallowing causes very serious damage to the nose and throat or other tissues with which contact is made. It can cause perforation and scarring. Breathing of the dust or concentrated mist can cause damage to the upper respiratory tract and to lung tissue, depending upon the severity of the exposure. Thus, effects of breathing may vary from mild irritation of the nose and throat to a severe pneumonitis.

| "For example, when French researchers compared CLA levels in the breast tissue of 360 women, they found that the women with the most CLA in their tissue (and thus the most CLA in their diets) had a 74 percent lower risk of breast Cancer than the women with the least CLA.
Milk is also a very good source of myristic acid, a very important fatty acid that the Body uses to stabilize many different proteins, including proteins used in the immune system and to fight tumors.
Like CLA, sphingomyelin is a milk fat component that has shown anticancer effects." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book) |

In short, trace elements are the major agents in the biochemistry of living things, whether plants, animals, or humans.
THE IMPORTANCE OF VERY SMALL QUANTITIES
The physiological effects of trace elements can vary considerably depending on the amount taken in. Calcium serves as a good example: When taken in an ionized form, calcium has coagulant properties. Taken in large doses it will therefore restore calcium to depleted bone or tissue." - Marie-France Muller, M.D., N.D., Ph.D., Colloidal Minerals and Trace Elements: How to Restore the Body's Natural Vitality (Get the book) |
