Many degenerative diseases like Alzheimer disease(dementia) and Parkinson's disease are characterized by garbage accumulation in the brain. In the body, garbage disposal is carried out by the lymphatic system which runs alongside veins and the spinal cord, and driven by pulsation from muscle contraction, nerves and pressure build-up in the interstitium. It sweeps through in tissues and as it does so, carries with it tissue debris that has not been or has been poorly cleared by tissue phagocytes, and failed to return into venous blood.  The debris passes through lymph nodes, where more phagocytosis takes place, and the lymph vessels empty into the the large veins, and the debris is cycled and broken down in the liver through metabolism and sent out in feces, or excreted in the kidney. New lymph is formed from interstitial fluid, found in all tissues. The lymphatic vessels from the digestive tract contain the lymphatic fluid that carr...

Chronic stress, be it psychological or disease-induced, raises stress hormone levels to a dangerously high level that instead of boosting metabolism will have an opposite effect, through the negative feedback loop. Small stress, fondly called eustress , raises biological ( physiological) function and prepares the body for the daily activities. Its release is controlled by the biological clock and follows pulses in a 24-hour-cycle(circadian rhythm ). The master clock, hence the entire genome with its control of the body function, is governed  by the environmental gene switches, mainly sunlight(night/day) and temperature, hence vibrational energy, and meals. In fact, our development right in the womb responds to these cues. So we can readily see what chronic stress, with the resulting stress hormone release, which is not in little, small physiological waves(pulses), induced from captured environmental vibrations, does to an...

Phagocytosis, and hence the immune system, evolved to take care of the nutritional basic need of the cell. The phagosome which contains the engulfed 'food' particle fuses with the lysosome, containing digestive enzymes called lysozymes, proteases and lipases to form the phagolysosome. Phagocytosis can take place in the absence of inflammation i.e. without the blood vessel involvement and recruitment of leucocytes from blood.  In fact, resident macrophages, mast cells, dendritic cells, fat progenitor cells and, for that matter, all body cells have lysosmes, vesicles containing digestive enzymes, and carry out phagocytosis i.e they are technically phagocytes(cells that eat). These lysosomes store food(proteins, carbohydartes and fats) and contain lysozymes that digest carbohydrates and proteases and lipases, which are enzymes that digest the other food substances and make them energy- or structure-convertible. In fact, this is the ...

The body organs operate many sub-biological clocks; these superimposed on the main clock, regulating wakefulness and sleep. Most organs will grow(cell division) at certain times of the day and repair at night. Human energy resources are well managed so that repair(maintenance) has a priority over everything else. Physical activity(eustress) generates growth hormone which leads to food and devitalized tissue breakdown, followed by organ growth(cell division). When such exercise reaches the level of distress, stress hormones(corticosteroids) get to be released, counteract the growth hormone, and vital tissue breakdown takes over and this prevents growth. Other forms of distress such as disease and immune distress, psychological distress, inflammation and aging, have a similar effect on the body. Most organs deteriorate and degenerate under such conditions. Following a good dose of exercise in the day, autophagy(recycling of devitalized tissue) r...
