Of course he wasn’t talking about fiber. We all should know the benefits of fiber; we’d die in our own poisons without it. Fiber not only promotes health, it is a major player in combating the risk of getting chronic disease. Fiber prevents constipation, absorbs toxins, helps control cholesterol, and helps maintain proper blood sugar; if you’re a diabetic your diet in the past was low in fiber. Fiber is a key ingredient in proper body weight. Low fiber diets have been proven to cause hemorrhoids and diverticulitis. Fiber slows digestion down, causing a more complete digestion and therefore less of a chance to make one’s bowels polluted. There are two types of fiber in the normal diet, soluble and insoluble. Neither can be digested. Since fiber cannot be digested, since it never makes it to the blood stream, it is non-caloric; it is a negative calorie food. Soluble fiber makes a gel when mixed with water, insoluble doesn’t. Insoluble fiber passes though the digestive tract scraping away that chocolate bar or Mcplunket or tater chip you ate, that even the best digestion tried to ignore, and scrap it away to haul it to the porcelain throne. Ah, cleaner bowels, less aroma. Insoluble fiber is best described as the main bulk for the intestines. It helps the liver and pancreas control the ph of the small intestine, allowing for the alkaline reacting enzymes to work. Insoluble fiber helps keep our normal bowel flora in the bowels, instead of the body using it as emergency fiber. Insoluble fiber promotes regular bowel movements to prevent constipation. It is the little trucks that haul away bowel wastes. By keeping the ph normal, it prevents the nasty microbes from producing cancer causing substances. Insoluble fiber is found in root veggies, beans, fruit skins, whole grains, and some nuts and seeds. Soluble fiber binds with fats, carrying them out of the bowel instead of letting them be absorbed. Soluble fiber greatly increases the time the stomach holds foods, thus helps in controlling blood sugar. The main benefits of soluble fiber are lowing of LDL and VLDL cholesterol, so it is prevention for heart disease. Because soluble fiber absorbs fats, it helps reduce weight. A diabetic greatly benefits from soluble fiber, slowing digestion down and helping in controlling blood sugar. Soluble fiber is found in oats, peas, some nuts, barley, rye, fruits like oranges and apples, non-root veggies, and psyllium hulls. So, you’re lazy, OK, me too, I just get mine out of LoClo or Everybody’s Fiber, or Taio He Cleanse, or Psyllium Hulls or Seeds, or CleanStart. When bowel toxins are really bad, or when you get food poisoning, the fiber to use is Activated Charcoal. Lecithin is a mixture of lipids and lipid emulsifiers. Lipids are fats. In the chemistry, lecithin is usually used as a synonym for pure phosphatidylcholine, a lipid which is the major component of a phosphorus fraction, which may be isolated from either egg yolk or soybeans from which it is chemically and mechanically extracted. The liver produces nervous system and circulatory system lecithin, if the diet has adequate amounts of food source lecithin. If…… if doesn’t happen any more. Every cell in the body needs it; it is a key building block of cell membranes; and without it, they harden to the point of disease. Lecithin is an important component of the mucosal layer of the bowel. This layer forms the mucous layer, protecting the large intestine from the attack from pathogenic bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungus. Anyone suffering from ulcerative colitis has disturbed this mucosal barrier. The mucus layers in their large intestines exhibit lower levels of lecithin than that of healthy people. Anyone suffering from a nerve aliment, particularly nerve pain has lowered levels of lecithin; lecithin is required to repair the myelin sheath of nerves. L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid normally synthesized from L-ornithine in the liver, but not fast enough to cover all the requirements of the tissues. L-arginine is the second most deficient amino acid, behind methionine. Arginine forms citrulline by hydrolysis. Arginine blocks the formation of tumors. It causes the release of a growth hormone, the anti-aging hormone, and an immune system stimulant. Arginine increases the immune response to bacteria, viruses, fungus, and tumor cells. Arginine decreases the time it takes wounds to heal. It, with methionine, is involved in the cleansing and regeneration of the liver. Since arginine increases the amount of growth hormone, it thereby increases muscle mass while decreasing the amount of body fat, increasing metabolism. This is the number one supplement of any athlete looking to increases performance. Arginine is the circulatory stimulant of the krebs/urea cycle. It is a key constituent in the detoxification of ammonia. The urea cycle takes place in the liver and utilizes ammonia to produce urea. Ammonia is deathly toxic to living cells, arginine is the amino acid needed to eliminate ammonia. Arginine is the amino acid that is the antidote to the left side body allergies. Arginine can eliminate tinnitus in the left ear. Arginine supplements should be taken with Lysine. Arginine should be taken with JP-X to eliminate excess urea and lactic acid. Arginine, with lysine, has been found to prevent the growth of tumors, mammary and prostate gland in particular. Arginine was found to stimulate white blood cells and increase their numbers. Arginine helps to stimulate the thymus. Arsenic, a toxic metal, provokes cancer formation by inhibiting arginine and zinc metabolism. Caprylic acid is the common name for the fatty acid octanoic acid. It is found coconuts and breast milk. Caprylic acid is used commercially in the production of esters used in the manufacture of dyes and perfumes. Caprylic acid is highly regarded for its anti-fungal properties. It is recommended by nutritionists for candidiasis. Caprylic acid is also used in the treatment of bacterial infections. Due to its short molecular length, it has no problem in penetrating cell wall membranes, hence its effectiveness in combating lipid-coated bacteria, staph infections, and streph throat infections. NSP sells caprilic acid in Caprillimmune and Caprylic Acid Combination. A fake fortuneteller can be tolerated, but a soothsayer should be shot on sight. Overbearing, false theology does not get half the beating it deserves.
