ECOMEDICINE
What is ECOMEDICINE?
Ecomedicine, or preventive medicine, provides individuals with knowledge about treating diseases using natural methods. This approach is based on understanding the biophysical and biochemical processes of the human body in the context of the overall biological system and emphasizes lifestyle adaptation in accordance with the laws of nature.
In case of illness, ecomedicine is aimed at treating the whole body, restoring its self-regulation mechanisms and promoting comprehensive health recovery.
The multi-level structural organization of the body
Everything consists of atoms >>> atoms are bound into molecules >>> molecules form macromolecular compounds, both organic and inorganic. High-molecular organic compounds are the basis of all life >>> all living cells consist of molecules >>> cells form tissues >>> tissues form organs >>> organs are combined into 12 organ systems:
1. The hematopoietic system ensures the constancy of blood composition.
2. The circulatory system transports nutrients and collects unnecessary substances.
3. The musculoskeletal system performs support and movement functions.
4. The digestive system ensures the intake of nutrients, their processing, assimilation (absorption), and the elimination of waste products.
5. The central nervous system regulates vital functions and their integration.
6. The lymphatic system ensures body cleansing and neutralization of harmful substances + immune function (lymph nodes).
7. The immune system protects against harmful and unnatural factors.
8. The peripheral nervous system transmits commands of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to and from tissues and organs, thereby ensuring the individual's adaptation to the surrounding environment.
9. The respiratory system supplies the body with oxygen, which is necessary for all life processes, and also ensures the removal of carbon dioxide.
10. The urinary system and the skin cleanse the body by eliminating waste products formed during the body's vital processes.
11. The reproductive system ensures reproduction.
12. The endocrine system regulates the basic processes of metabolism, biorhythms, and the constancy of the internal environment.
Between health and disease
A significant paradox exists in modern society: disease prevention is considered only when health disorders are already observable, rather than during the pre-symptomatic period. The absence of health complaints does not automatically mean that there are no health problems. Between full health and illness lies a substantial transitional stage - remission, or the preclinical period, characterized by a non-exacerbation phase of the disease. At this stage, when prevention of an impending health problem could be most effective, no specific symptoms are observed, and laboratory tests usually do not show pathological changes. The first changes can be detected by performing an electrocardiogram (for the heart), electromyogram (for muscles), and electroencephalogram (for the brain), as well as by simultaneously analyzing changes in electrical impulses in different organs. Early assessment of disturbances helps identify the individual mechanisms that cause health problems. Once these are clarified, lifestyle changes are often sufficient to avoid symptoms. If symptoms have already appeared, the process has progressed quite far. At this point, the doctor gathers information, analyzes it, and establishes a diagnosis. There are about 26 thousand different diagnoses in medicine. Treatment is usually based on eliminating symptoms, for example by using tablets for headaches, drops for a runny nose, or medications for high blood pressure. However, many diagnoses tend to be imprecise, and the true causes of diseases often remain unexplored. Would a pathologist then be the best choice to deal with researching causes?
It is necessary to understand the path to disease
To regain health, it is essential to understand the development of the disease - to understand its mechanisms, determine what has been done incorrectly so far, and obtain an accurate diagnosis. The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that 70% of doctors' diagnoses are made incorrectly, which means that a large proportion of patients are treated inappropriately. Correct diagnosis and understanding of the disease process are fundamental prerequisites on the path to recovery and should become doctors' main priority. However, in reality, medical professionals often fall under the influence of the pharmaceutical industry, working within strict guideline frameworks that limit their independence. Ironically, doctors sometimes seem even more subject to this system than society as a whole, operating in accordance with the pharmaceutical industry's postulates and dogmas. The medical education system is also designed to provide broad information, but not always to encourage deeper understanding.
Modern food products
With the development of culinary art and food production technologies, our diet has become both more nourishing and tastier. This has been achieved through food refining, special cooking methods, and the use of various additives, including artificial ones. To ensure product variety, chemicals, fertilizers, antibiotics, and hormones are often used, affecting our intestinal microflora and forcing it to adapt to new conditions. For example, preservatives prevent bacteria from multiplying and keep products fresh longer, but once they enter the human body, they disrupt the microecological balance and can cause toxin accumulation. As a result, a large amount of harmful substances forms in the human body, and body contamination, or toxic load, becomes one of the most pressing modern problems.
Medications act differently from food
Modern official medicine is primarily based on medications obtained through chemical synthesis rather than substances of natural origin. These preparations often do not contain nutrients intended for the direct restoration of body systems, but instead act locally on specific cellular processes or structures. The use of medications can cause changes in molecular and cellular interactions, which in some cases may contribute to the development of side effects, such as chronic diseases or allergic reactions. Therefore, it is essential to select therapeutic tactics individually and carefully monitor the effect of therapy on the body's biochemical processes.
Any medication used long-term can be considered a toxic substance, and it also participates in chemical reactions in the body. The molecules of many modern drugs were created by imitating the structures of various nutrients, vitamins, and plant alkaloids found in our daily food. However, the main problem is that the human body is not equipped with enzymes capable of effectively breaking down these medications, because over centuries our biology has adapted to processing food rather than artificially synthesized substances.
About pain
The sensation of pain arises in the brain when information from pain receptors is processed; it serves as a warning signal about potential threats to the body. Pain can be caused by tissue damage (for example, wounds), oxygen deficiency (ischemic pain, such as in myocardial infarction or angina), tissue stretching (for example, intestinal distension from gas), chemicals, temperature changes, etc. However, there are situations when body tissues are damaged but pain is not perceived, for example in liver or intestinal damage. Therefore, the belief that complete absence of pain indicates health is misleading.
In some cases, when liver health is seriously compromised and only a few percent of functioning tissue remain, people are able to fully restore it with a balanced diet and phytotherapy. In the case of the spine, the situation is more complicated - every millimeter is surrounded by countless nerve fibers, because the spinal cord is located there and must not be injured. Even small displacements of intervertebral discs can cause severe pain, which serves as a warning of improper movement, inappropriate weight lifting, or inadequate nutrition (due to weakness of connective tissue), resulting in serious consequences up to and including impairment of spinal cord function. Pain is given as a warning of possible problems. A nerve block does not resolve the cause - the underlying problems must be identified and eliminated.
Labor pain also has its own logic. There are no pain receptors in the uterus, so the uterus itself does not hurt; pain receptors are located in the cervix. This encourages a woman to participate more actively in the birthing process, which helps prevent postpartum complications, such as encephalopathy.
Any symptom that appears in a person can be regarded as a signal from the body that some organ needs help - for example, sufficient nutrients must be provided or toxin elimination should be promoted. The body does not ask for synthetic drugs or an artificial return to the previous state.
Does your health correspond to these 13 indicators?
1. Body temperature 36.6 °C ±0.2 °C. At this temperature, water crystals remain stable, ensuring the normal course of oxidation-reduction processes in the body. At 38 °C, the structure of water begins to change, which is associated with energy release and activation of the immune system. Prolonged body temperature above 42 °C is incompatible with life, because at this temperature water loses its structure, which is essential for the body's functioning. Likewise, prolonged maintenance of body temperature below 35.5 °C endangers cellular energy exchange because the crystal lattice becomes unstable. It is recommended to measure body temperature in the morning after waking; if it is below 36.4 °C, this may indicate increased toxin accumulation in the body, whereas a temperature above 36.8 °C may indicate the presence of disease processes.
2. Arterial blood pressure. Normal values are 120/80 mmHg, with a possible fluctuation range of ±10 mmHg. At this level, blood efficiently ensures oxygen transport throughout the body. Deviations from the norm, i.e., elevated or lowered blood pressure, may indicate changes in health status. Medication-based lowering of blood pressure is recommended only in acute situations, for example during hypertensive crises, because such action removes symptoms rather than causes of the underlying disease. Low blood pressure may indicate various changes in the body, including possible metabolic problems, therefore a general health assessment is recommended.
3. Hemoglobin. In men, hemoglobin levels are usually 16 g/dl, and in women - 14 g/dl. This substance indicates how much oxygen the body can transport. If hemoglobin levels decrease (for example, due to blood loss), the body compensates with a faster pulse so that cells receive enough oxygen, and sometimes also with an increased breathing rate. The amount of hemoglobin can only decrease, but not truly increase - instead, a higher concentration usually indicates dehydration (hypohydration), not a real rise in hemoglobin.
4. Pulse. About 60 times per minute. The pulse itself is not exactly the speed of blood flow, but with such a pulse, oxygen from the lungs is delivered by the blood to every organ at an optimal rate. During exertion, pulse rate may even double; after exertion, it should return to the previous state within 2 minutes.
5. Urine. 1.5 liters per day. Specific gravity normally 1025-1035, and with an acidic reaction in the morning (pH less than 7), straw-yellow in color without a sharp odor. Colorless urine indicates hyperhydration.
6. Breathing rate. 20 times per minute. Increases during exertion. After exertion, depending on its intensity, the breathing rate returns to the previous level in about 1 minute. If it is otherwise - something is wrong.
7. Bilirubin. It should be no more than 21 mmol/L. This is an indicator of the toxic degree of the blood - the amount of processed dead erythrocytes. In the human body, 300 billion erythrocytes die every day and they must be processed, broken down, removed from the body, and replaced with new ones. The amount of bilirubin indicates how well this process proceeds - how many die, how many are renewed, and how well the liver and kidneys work, which carry out the body's self-cleansing. As soon as this indicator rises, the body's balance is disturbed.
Dead or damaged erythrocytes are eaten by macrophages in the spleen. An erythrocyte passes through the splenic sinuses (semi-permeable blood vessels) and enters the spleen tissue. If it is damaged, it does not return to the bloodstream but remains and is phagocytosed (eaten). Therefore, the spleen is called the cemetery of erythrocytes. Diseases affecting erythrocytes often manifest with an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly). For example, sickle cell anemia.
8. Blood pH acid-base balance. This is one of the most important indicators and, compared with the others, you can regulate it yourself through your lifestyle. One might even say that by putting this in order, most of the other indicators will normalize on their own. 7.43 is the alkaline environment of life. 7.1 - death, manifesting for example as acute cardiovascular insufficiency. And the first thing doctors immediately do is administer intravenous physiological saline (0.9% NaCl). Today, most commonly consumed foods and drinks create acids in the body. To neutralize them and maintain an alkaline environment, the body uses reserves of alkaline trace elements; reserves of calcium, potassium, magnesium, and sodium are depleted from the musculoskeletal system.
9. Cholesterol, 6.0 mmol/L. Cholesterol is a fat of animal origin (there is no cholesterol in plant fats). It is a raw material for all types of hormones. Cholesterol circulation in the body is carried out by lipoproteins that transport it. High-density lipoproteins collect cholesterol from blood vessel walls and deliver it to the liver for further processing. When checking cholesterol levels, it should be taken into account that after eating, the amount will be higher than when a fasting blood sample is taken.
If cholesterol in the blood is low, stress resistance decreases and the risk of depression triples, especially in people taking cholesterol-lowering drugs. The body produces more cholesterol to reduce internal inflammation of blood vessels caused by increased levels of lectins, omega-6, insulin, and glucose in the blood. The sequence is as follows - first inflammation in the blood vessels, and only then an increased amount of cholesterol in the blood.
Animal proteins affect blood cholesterol levels more than saturated fats and dietary cholesterol. In world regions where people hardly consume animal proteins, total blood cholesterol is 2.0-4.0 mmol/L.
10. Uric acid concentration in blood. Ideally it would be 2-4 mg%. Now this norm is increased, because with the diet currently recommended by dietitians it cannot be maintained. An elevated concentration of uric acid indicates an increased protein content in the blood (for example, if a lot of meat is consumed), because uric acid is formed during their processing.
11. Leukocyte count in blood. 4-4.5 thousand/mm3. With this leukocyte count, all antigens entering the body - viruses, bacteria, fungi - are destroyed.
12. Blood sugar level. 3.9-5.6 mmol/L fasting. This is an energy reserve for cells (for immediate use). Glucose reserves are in the form of glycogen, mainly in the liver and muscles.
13. Weight. Optimal body weight in adults can be calculated by subtracting 100 from height in centimeters and adjusting the result by ±10 kilograms. After reaching 18 years of age, body weight usually remains stable throughout the rest of life, indicating effective functioning of the cardiovascular and excretory systems. In people with low water intake, a tendency to regular overeating, increased body toxicity, or a reduced pH level of the internal environment, deviations from these indicators are often observed, which may contribute to the development of excess weight. Persistent body weight fluctuations may indicate disorders of the hormonal or central nervous system.
Changes in these 13 indicators create preconditions for serious diseases. No doctor will be able to restore them in your place. They reflect lifestyle, thinking, and everyday work in strengthening health. Only when each person changes internally will society as a whole also change.
According to WHO (World Health Organization) data, human health is influenced by:
♦️ 10% - medical achievements,
♦️ 75% - a person's lifestyle and diet,
♦️ 15% - genetics.
Only 2% of people suffer from genetically inherited diseases from birth. The remaining diseases are acquired during life. One must be honest with oneself and not deceive oneself, not indulge in self-deception. One should look back at inherited family traditions, lifestyle, and diet, and ask whether all of this aligns with what is intended in nature.
Most people come into the world with genes that would allow them to live a long and happy life (the genetically programmed human lifespan is at least 120 years).
Bad genes are activated by an unhealthy internal environment:
⚛️ negative emotions (anger, resentment),
⚛️ lack of water,
⚛️ body contamination,
⚛️ deficiency of vitamins and microelements.
Gene function is influenced not only by the genes themselves, but also by various external conditions. Without a suitable environment, genes do not activate. One of the most important environmental factors is nutrition, which regulates gene activity in the body. For example, by changing the amount of animal protein in the diet, it is possible to influence genes associated with cancer development, because nutrition substantially determines which genes will be active.
Therefore, genes are not destiny. We are not victims of genes, but masters of our own fate. Fate and choice are in your hands.
Nature created us according to its laws; it is impossible to fight nature or deceive it with medications.
