How Your Body’s Systems Start to Break Down

November 22nd, 2008

Thomas Digges asked:


It continuously amazes me how many otherwise diligent, conscientious and together people can totally drop the ball when it comes to taking care of their body well.

The Disconnect

There could be other reasons for this phenomena, but I believe the main disconnect is ignorance or confusion. The second most problematic issue is motivation. In our society we are taught to put ourselves last, and people mistakenly apply this moral idea to their bodies. For whatever reason, the vast majority of people are neglecting their bodies and consequently they are experiencing body system breakdown.

You overcome ignorance when you understand how your body’s systems are being compromised. You move beyond the motivation barrier when you accept the fact that you cannot be any good to anyone if you don’t first take good care of your self - body, heart and mind. Only then can you really begin the journey to optimum health and wholeness.

The Beginning of System Breakdown

The digestive system is made to efficiently process food. It has everything it needs. The problem is we are giving it many things it doesn’t need! In fact we put so much nasty & unnecessary junk into our stomach that our digestive systems become clogged up. It is a scientific fact that most people have at least 5 lbs of toxic waste in their intestines. If you are overweight, you probably have even more. Some people have been found to have up to 60 lbs of health destroying toxic waste in their intestines. Obviously that isn’t good.

This toxic waste lines the walls of your intestines & keeps you from digesting food and getting the proper nutrition from it. Obviously this affects your overall health because the cells in every part of your body depend on this system for nutrition. Also, when your cells reproduce, they don’t have the proper ingredients to create new healthy cells. You can see how this creates a terrible domino effect on all the systems of your body. Intestinal disease is the leading cause of death in America.

Because of this pollution in our intestines we attract parasites. Yes, most people have parasites of one kind or another. There are many types, some are almost microscopic. What they do is drain your energy and create an acidic environment in your digestive system. This makes it even harder to digest because the good bacteria cannot live in this acidic environment. You need good bacteria to assist you in digestion.

Your liver is a multipurpose organ. It contributes to digestion, and helps remove toxins from your blood. It also gets clogged up, mainly by cholesterol and other types of toxic fats we ingest. This inhibits your ability to remove toxins. This problem is greatly magnified by the fact that we are getting more toxins than any generation of our ancestors did. We need our livers healthy more than ever! The liver cannot hope to keep up with the toxins we encounter in its degraded state. Of course again, this affects your overall health.

Your nutrition and waste removal systems both depend heavily on the liver and the heart and the blood. When your toxic removal system breaks down, your arteries can become clogged and your heart weakened. . . Of course this leads to heart failure which is the second highest “cause of death” in America.

Junk food is a major cause of internal pollution. That almost goes without saying. Fried food, processed food, preserved food & meats are all big contributors to breakdown of your digestive & detox systems.

To top it off, even the food we think is “good” like vegetables & fruit are now much lower in nutritional value because they are grown in depleted soil. They also contain chemical pollution from pesticides and runoff that your liver must work overtime to remove from your body.

Fortunately there is something you can do about this. Here are the most important steps to take to prevent and turn back system breakdown:

First cleanse your body of waste and toxins. You can find some great products to do this at a health food store or online. It’s easier than you think.

Next begin to alter the way you treat your body by learning how to keep it clean and healthy. This is done by changing what you put into your body and giving it the proper exercise. Sometimes physical therapy like acupuncture or chiropractic can really get you started.

Finally, change your relationship to your body with awareness and appreciation. A good practice is to get into a totally relaxed state, and bring your awareness to your body one part at a time. Feel the tension or pain that may reside there and let your resistance to it relax.

Targeted List Building With Social Bookmarking and Networking

Chang Wee Teo asked:


If you’re looking for a way to get rich from home and you want to run or already run your own Internet business, one of the best tools you can make use of is social bookmarking. Social bookmarking is a method of social networking to increase your flow of targeted traffic to your website(s). It has been made possible by the Internet.

Social networking is nothing new. It is a method of finding more qualified prospects for your business. In the business world before and outside of the Internet, networking involves joining groups such as a local racquetball club or anything that revolves around something that interests you, and then making friends and making yourself and your services known within those groups over time. By interacting in a friendly way with people with mutually shared interests, you build trust and a reputation for expertise in your professional area. As people within the groups become convinced that they might need or want your services, they come to you willingly for help; these same people are also far more likely to give you referrals, which along with repeat sales are the lifeblood of all business owners.

With social bookmarking, you blog or you or write articles and get these articles published at online content sites; then you bookmark your blog entries, articles you write for your website(s), and articles you publish at content sites at bookmarking websites. There is quite an abundance of these and their number continues to grow as their value becomes better known and they come more and more into demand.

The bookmarking websites are places where you share content that you find useful, well-written, or informative. These sites facilitate linking back to the original content and most of them also facilitate commentary. These sites are designed to give people all over the Net access to quality information in a targeted, organized way; consequently they virtually all have categories under which you index your content. You can bookmark any content that you like, but in this case it goes without saying that the content you are bookmarking is your own.

The idea is to create social “buzz” about yourself through your content at these networking bookmark sites and get people to access the links to your content, blogs, and website(s). By indexing your content using placement under appropriate site categories and adding keyword tags, you begin to draw the attention of people who might be interested in your offerings. You can greatly enhance your visibility by taking part in the socializing aspects of these bookmarking sites, by which you make online friends and add and get subscribers to your bookmarks and content. These people don’t buy a subscription, but they do become automatic regular followers of your posts, getting them “hooked” on you and greatly upping the chances that they will eventually become a customer.

Targeted traffic is vastly more valuable than traffic you get from the “shotgun approach”. It is a great waste of time to offer your services to just anybody when you could instead find people who already probably have some degree of interest in what you offer. In business, time is money, and when you waste time you lose money. But by constantly writing on a topic such as “how to get rich working from home” and socially bookmarking and networking with your content online, you become known, trusted, and seen as relevant to a certain group of people.

One of the most effective social bookmarking and networking websites is StumbleUpon. This is both a networking site and a web browser plug-in where you download the StumbleUpon toolbar to your desktop and it becomes part of your web browser. You find different websites when you click the “Stumble!” button on the toolbar. The website chooses which new page to show based on your ratings of previous pages, ratings by your online site friends, and by the ratings of other Internet users who have similar interests using a “thumbs-up/thumbs-down” display system. It also has one-click blogging built into it. The ramifications for your business should be obvious.

Another great site is Yahoo! Answers. Here you create a profile and then answer people’s questions on specific topics. (You can also ask them.) Eventually you can become a Trusted Reporter for frequently sharing valuable answers, which greatly increases your profile at the site. You can post links to your website(s) in your answers and your profile, and post parts from your articles as answers. Yahoo! Answers is more frequently used all the time because people feel they are getting “friendly” and “earthy” advice from people with real experiences, making it a perfect fit for a social networker.

For targeting youthful prospects (teens and adults under 25), the fast-rising BEBO is perfect. BEBO is modeled on and similar to Facebook and early in 2008 was named the top performing Website of its kind in a report published in ‘Computing Which?’. The editor commented, “No matter what age you are or what interests you have, there is a social networking site out there for you.”

Yes, in fact, there is–and you as an Internet marketer want to take advantage of all the opportunities made possible with social bookmarking and networking.

The Key to Social Media Marketing Success

Chris Langton asked:


Overview: Social media marketing and social bookmarking sites are becoming increasingly more popular on the internet today. Generally speaking, they are sites on which communities use to share information, discuss and vote for, but how can sites such as Digg, StumbleUpon, Reddit, and YouTube help you to become successful ethically online?

Using social networking sites, you can promote articles or web pages that you feel will benefit the internet community. Your goal is to create a buzz and have people comment, bookmark or share things that they find interesting or useful.

So How do You Get Started?  Creating content on your web site that is interesting or useful to a site visitor is the first step, without this your site will not be ‘sticky’ and will not be deemed as popular by users of social networking sites. Writing ‘How to’ articles is a good example of useful content, i.e. ‘How to shortlist candidates for web design in Bournemouth’.

Why Use Social Media Marketing?  Although it won’t make you a direct profit, social marketing will drive traffic to your site that is targeted towards your theme or ‘niche’. Having a clean and well thought out design on your web site will let visitors navigate through other pages and find other areas of the site that are profitable to you. You can also embed hyperlinks within your article content that can link to products or other pages.

Increasing Initial Traffic to your site:  The main goal of social network marketing is to drive targeted traffic to your site, this can come directly from a social media site, or a site that has linked to yours after finding it through a social bookmark or tag. When you post on a social media site, you can get immediate targeted traffic if your post title and article description draws people in, try to think of teasers that get people interested and want to read more.

Gaining Longer Term Traffic:  The more links you have pointing to your web site the more popular your site becomes in the eyes of Google and other search engines, this can make a massive impact on your search engine positioning results over time and will drive even more targeted traffic through search engine results.

Every time you post on a social media networking site, you increase your site’s exposure which means that people will be more likely to link directly to your site. This can be a very powerful way of building natural back links to your web site which is looked on favourably by search engines.

Cost compared to traditional marketing:  One of the best things about social media marketing is that it costs nothing! When you compare this to more traditional marketing methods such as Pay Per Click you can really start to see the benefits. Effectively you are creating a steady flow of free organic traffic.

Increase Awareness of Your Web Site:  Through this method of marketing you will increase the brand awareness of your site and you can create a buzz about something that relates to your products or services. With the increased popularity of social media, you can not afford to miss out on the trend!

Can A Missing Mineral Make Us All A Little Saner?

Thomas Digges asked:


Scientific studies of lithium supplements have made some interesting discoveries. In a 1997 study, researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health stated: “We found that long-term exposure to lithium chloride dramatically protects cultured rat cerebellar, cerebral cortical, and hippocampal neurons against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity… This neuroprotection is long-lasting, occurs at therapeutically relevant concentrations of lithium.”

Simply stated: “Taking long term suplements of Lithium protects your brain cells from all kinds of damage.” This has startling implications for the treatment of many diseases like Alzheimer and other mental disorders. But, it also has a huge potential impact on longevity and mental functioning.

Longevity Benefits

Dr Gregory J Moore G.L. in Lithium-induced increase in human grey matter. (Lancet 2000) states, “Rodent studies have shown that lithium exerts neurotrophic or neuroprotective effects … Grey-matter volume increased after 4 weeks of treatment. The increases in grey matter probably occurred because of neurotrophic effects.”

This is an indication that a brain with damaged cells can regrow them and even increase in size. This is stated in another article below.

In “How To Enlarge Your Brain”, Dr. James Howenstine, MD. writes: “Medical students are taught that there is a slow steady loss of brain cells with aging culminating in gradual shrinkage of the brain. Lithium has long been known to be an effective therapy for Bipolar Disorder (manic depression) when taken in high doses.

However, recent research has shown that low doses of lithium preserve and renew brain cells. Eight of ten persons given lithium showed an increase in brain grey matter of 3% after only 4 weeks. By promoting brain cell regeneration and increasing brain size lithium can function as an anti-aging nutrient for the brain.”

Many other Benefits

Dr Howenstine also cites research stating, “Ten years of research by 27 counties in Texas disclosed that the incidence of homicide, rape, robbery, burglary, arrests for drug possession, and ******* were higher in counties whose drinking water contained little or no lithium.

Counties whose drinking water naturally contained higher amounts of lithium had significantly lower rates of all these crimes. These counties with higher levels of lithium in their tap water experienced fewer hospitalizations for homicides, mental illness, psychosis, neurosis, schizophrenia, and personality disorder.

Low dosage lithium benefits alcoholism and mood disorders seen in heavy users of alcohol and their relatives. This therapy is often obvious to family members when depression, premenstrual tension, temper flareups and irritability cease affecting the individual.

Lithium has been helpful in reducing aggressive behavior in children. High dosages of lithium helped two adult women with severe anorexia nervosa regain 26 and 20 pounds in six weeks. Both women experienced improvement in behavioral problems.”

Should Lithium be added to drinking water?

Dr Howenstine thinks so, “The answer is yes, particularly for parts of the country where lithium water levels are low. Placing lithium in the water supply would almost certainly lower crime rates and would also improve the productivity of many emotionally troubled persons.”

In conclusion, there are many things we can do to increase our health and longevity. Most of them are much more difficult than others. Taking a lithium supplement is not only simple, it is very low cost, about $2 a month. I don’t see why everyone wouldn’t want to contribute to making the world a better place by gaining a little mental health edge.
