Does Your Body Need a Miracle?

Do you believe that healing requires a miracle, or do you believe that our trillions of cells govern themselves and create the bodies that we have?  So how does the eye know how to focus or the muscle know how much energy it will need during your walk today? How does the immune system attack a foreign invader and make antibodies?  We all have T Cells that are vital in hosting an immune response against pathogens, viruses, and harmful bacteria. The helper T cells plan the attack and the killer T cells carry it out. The more good bacteria you have the more T cells you have. Antibodies are produced by specialized white blood cells called B lymphocytes. Antibodies are specific to one antigen (a toxin or foreign substance). They attach to that antigen like a key in a lock. If an antigen enters your body and your B cells recognize it, either from having had the disease before or from being vaccinated against it, your B cells increase the production of the appropriate antibody.

These are the unseen workings of the world of cells that reside within.  I believe in miracles and I believe in healing, things unseen and not fully understood, things that require faith in something unseen.  I teach classes and talk with people who seem to coincidentally show up in my life. People who have deep desires to be well, or in most cases that their children be well. They are often so unsure of what will work after trying many things: supplements, medicines, and a million other things. They seem to be running out of options; as they become more desperate, as a last resort they’re trying what seems to be so simple – changing what they eat. It was just as miraculous to me when I first tried it. The funny thing is that these wondrous foods have been around since time began, not changing, and remaining the same. Waiting to be discovered, to bring life and health to all who will try them. I have gone from hoping to believing, to knowing that something so simple could be so real. Cultured foods came to me when I needed them most. They are alive and brimming with the very thing that your body contains by the trillions: good bacteria. Don’t you think that if there are trillions of bacteria in our body, that it might make sense to pay attention to them? Maybe even to try to enhance their job, with perhaps some of the right kinds of foods and beneficial bacteria that would help them to grow and thrive?

We take so much for granted when it comes to our bodies. They do more in a minute than we could possibly ever understand.

Here is what I have noticed and learned and continue to observe about the different strains of beneficial bacteria that I eat every day.
