Are You Optimizing these 4 Body Systems for Health?

 
Understanding four body systems helps design health strategies for any problem.
This is different than matching each symptoms with a remedy.
Instead, symptoms can be used as indicators of different system problems and how to take action.
 
Cell Mitochondria produce energy for every function in every organ.
This refers to all basic nutritional needs and deficiencies: minerals, vitamins, proteins, fats, sunlight. When the body has all the nutrients it needs it can start to heal itself. Always start here.
 
Liver Gallbladder Detoxification.
 
This is the major detox organ filtering the blood.
Symptoms can be noticeable and easy to understand:
gallbladder pain
constipation
brain fog as the blood is not cleaned
circulation problems as toxic blood does damage in the periphery
Liver health depends on all the mitochondrial basic nutrients for liver detox.
In addition, antioxidants, binders, and bile building nutrients.
 
Immunity, Brain, Gut.
 
This is more diffuse and harder to understand as it involves many organs that work on many problems.
Immunity is white blood cells to attack everything that does not belong: infections, toxins, cancer, fat cells, etc.
And white blood cells work with good bacteria that communicate where the problems are.
This starts with brain and parasympathetic regulation to reduce stress hormones so the immune system can activate. Most of the immune system focuses on the gut.
Some of the most difficult to treat conditions are parasitic infections, the toxin that fights back and can’t be dealt with just gradually, as with detox, but requires a complex and persistent strategy with no weak links for the bugs to creep around.  
This systems means that you can’t just kill a difficult infection with pharmaceuticals but need the immune system that is more detailed and reaches every part of the body. This is more true the more chronic the condition has lasted with the resulting nutritional deficiencies and organ weaknesses.
Progress in this area includes more sleep and calm.
 
Immunity also depends on the liver’s ability to excrete what is being expelled so progress in this area can crate bottlenecks or traffic jams in the liver resulting in headaches or constipation as that system get overwhelmed and needs to catch up.
 
Circulation of Extracellular Fluids
 
Circulation is how all these systems work dynamically as fluid flows since the body is mainly water.
Toxins move out of the cell through the interstitial fluid into the lymph, blood, liver, bile and gut.
The body needs to move muscle to pump the lymph and veins to return blood to the heart and liver.
People with chronic health problems have less energy to move but need to move more often in small amounts to mechanically circulate.
What many people don’t know is that blood circulation is pulled by electrical charge in the capillaries with the heart as a back-up mechanism.
High and low blood pressure represent low electrical change and low body energy.
BP problems represent nutritional deficiencies like magnesium, potassium and sunlight, some key nutrients for inside the cell, too.
One reason for insomnia is poor circulation: can’t get to sleep or wake up too soon because circulation can’t deliver nutrients to perform functions of sleep. Can’t deliver nutrients because can’t remove the waste.
On some level the body may perceive it is suffocating from lack of oxygen or nutrients to cells and thus produce stress hormones like cortisol that is a fight of flight signal to get up and do something like move around to stimulate lymph and vein circulation, or a bowel movement.  
People who have enough capillary electrical charge can sleep longer without getting up to move.
 
Synthesis  versus  Analysis Paralysis
 
Sleep is not a function of tired as many people can’t sleep but are exhausted.
Insomnia is not always caused by a deficiency of the nutritional mechanisms of sleep or even light based circadian rhythms being disrupted by artificial lights and odd sleep schedules.
The body is always trying to do something and problems represent nutrient deficiencies, movement deficiency, and regulation problems of brain and immunity. This I call functional insomnia, in contrast to mechanism insomnia.
 
Chronic health problems are problems of complexity.
Solving complex problems requires some simplifying categories to help focus on the right things without oversimplifying.
We don’t want to go back and forth asking:  Is it toxins, infection, or just stress? Or even which to do first.
When it can be all of those and we need to find leverage at the root cause and treatment levels, like with nutrients and movement.
 
My method is to observe how things work as a whole.  
That means not spending too much time looking through the microscope and trying to manipulate chemicals one by one but losing sight of the big picture. This is one way to analysis paralysis.
 
Traditional Chinese herbalism, for example, examines how all the organs function together as a whole based on observation, without the use of microscopes and experimental labs to understand details. One interesting idea is that the gallbladder meridian is the longest energy path for the smallest organ because it is such a tight juncture and can be a key weak link bottleneck having so many consequences: Gallbladder means bile flow that represents detox capability and the ability to clean the blood to enable circulation. Liver and GB are also recognized as impacting brain regulation with insomnia being sometimes attributed to this pathway.
 
If you leave out addressing any of these four systems you could limit your health.
