What is Total Body Load?
'Total body load' is the phrase used to describe a principle
that relate to factors that bring stress onto the body that lead
to an overload on the body which results in illnesses.
'Total body load' is one of the most important body healing
principles, the principle is the key to beating and recovering
from all illnesses. Any illness or disease is cure by nature not
doctors, all a good doctor can do is to reduce the body load to
allow nature to run its course and cure. Unfortunately, most
doctors these days rely too much on modern drugs which only add
to the biological burden placed upon the body which makes things
worst not better, as intended.
The human being, as with all living creatures, has regulatory
mechanisms which defend the body from illnesses, diseases and
harm. The skin protects the body from dehydration and
temperature variations, poison waste is eliminated from the body
by the kidneys, the immune system defends the body from
micro-organisms, the liver detoxifies the body from health
damaging chemicals and acid-base balance within the body is kept
regulated by other factors within the body.
Every second, every minute, every day, the body's regulatory
mechanisms are working to keep the body healthy and we generally
feel good and fine. Health problems tend to occur when the
body's health defenses become overworked and symptoms appear, by
this stage the body's defenses have been breached and problems
can become serious quiet quickly.
The overloading of the body's systems is very serious and health
problems will occur. The metaphor image that is commonly used to
illustrate the overload phenomenon is that of an overflowing
barrel. Envisage the barrel being the body's ability to cope
with all the stresses of modern day living, the more stresses
added to the barrel the more it gets full, until one day it
overflows and produces symptoms which are related to diseases
and illnesses. There are a number of factors or combination of
factors that can lead to the barrel overflowing and producing
illnesses and diseases such as cancer, heart disease, ulcers and
mental breakdown, a sample of these factors that contribute to
the barrel overflowing are allergies, poor nutrition, stress,
lack of sleep, acute viral episodes, sudden shock and overwork.
There are many ways to overload the body, psychological factors
being excessive work load, high amount of stress and personality
disorders, physical factors being the heat and cold,
electromagnetic radiation, oxidative stress and mercury
toxicity, biological factors being fatigue, allergies,
micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses and parasites,
nutritional deficiency and endocrine dysfunction and chemical
factors being alcohol, medicines, pollution and recreational
drugs.
A common misleading factor about overload is that the last
overload factor that is introduced is the only culprit for
producing symptoms. It is very uncommon for one overload factor
to overcome the body's defenses; it is far more likely to be
a
cumulative of actions by different stressors. For example, a
persons lifestyle may consists of a stressful job, which to
combat the stress they turn to comfort substances such as
smoking, drinking, eating chocolate, to wake themselves up for
work in the morning they drink a couple of cups of coffee, to
cope with their workload they work long hours and only take half
an hour lunch break where they eat at their desk because of
these long hours they don't have time to rest properly or
exercise plus there is a rumor of job cuts at their work. All of
these are stressors that the person can cope with until one day
a close relative dies and the stress from bereavement overloads
their 'barrel' and symptoms of illness occur. Many people would
say that it is the stress of bereavement that caused the person
to become ill but in fact it was a cumulative affect of a
stressful job, consuming caffeine and alcohol, smoking and not
resting and exercising properly that cause the illness.
A doctor, physician or therapist can use the knowledge of 'total
body load' to help their patients. Any indirect or direct means
to reduce 'total body load' will help to combat illnesses, for
example quitting smoking will help with infertility, good
healthy nutrition will help to fight against cancer, eliminating
infections such as Candida will help with PMT, reducing the use
of hairspray and perfumes will help to improve catarrh and
eating fewer stress foods that cause food intolerances and
allergy and refined carbohydrates and food additives will
certainly help to improve health.
The body can tolerate a certain 'threshold' of each stressor but
when a stressor reaches the 'threshold' illness occurs. Bad
allergens are the ones which when taken even in small amounts
can put the body into overload. Mild allergens can normally be
tolerated but when many mild allergens are taken at once then
the 'threshold' will be reach and illness occurs. This is why
certain allergic food can be eaten without any problems but can
also cause problems when taken with other allergic food. This
explains why food can be eaten without causing illness at one
time and at another time it can cause an allergic reaction. As
illustrated earlier, life events, emotional stress and viral
infections can all affect the 'threshold' of 'overload'.
In conclusion, understanding the 'total body load' principle is
vital for a Nutritional therapist. It illustrates why and what
makes a person ill and by understanding this, advice can be
given about nutrition and lifestyle to reduce the stressors in
life. The 'total body load' principle can be used to example why
a patient can go on a relaxing beach holiday in the Caribbean
and eat food that they are intolerant to and not be ill but as
soon as they are back in their stressful job in the city they
become ill again when eating foods they are intolerant to.
