The most incredible amazing part of
the human body is the cell. All human life originally begins as one single
cell, which then divides into many more cells, until a baby is born after nine
months of cell division inside the mother's womb.
The cells in our bodies are endlessly
working every second to bring us back to a natural state of wellness, or equilibrium.
When we turn to medicine, vitamins, herbs, or physical adjustments of our
body's systems to heal us, we are really only helping our bodies' natural
ability to heal itself.
Each cell is a complete living unit
that is constantly monitoring and adjusting its own processes, always working
to restore itself to the original DNA code it was born with, to maintain
balance within the body. Cells have the ability to heal themselves, as well as
make new cells that replace those that have been damaged or destroyed. Even
when a large number of cells are destroyed -- something that happens almost
daily inside our bodies -- the cells around it replicate to make new cells,
thereby replacing almost immediately the cells that were destroyed.Almost
simultaneously, the process of new cell formation begins. These new cells
originate mostly from the newer layers of cells of a particular tissue, while
older cells are pushed to the site of the injury, to gradually fill the space
that was made by the injury. This remarkable and complex process automatically
stops when the healing is complete. This healing process is not just for
injuries. It also takes care of normal, everyday wear and tear.
God in his infinite goodness, gave us
these self healing bodies. Our gift to Him that we use our free agency that He
also gave us, to choose Him to love and serve Him with Hearts, Might, Mind and
Strength.
