Our Powerful Immune System

I’ve recently been on a 7 day water fast, and for anyone that has ever done a 3, 7 (or more) days water fast as a detoxification process, you'll know there may well be moments where you can feel pretty rotten. There is a correct term for these symptoms 'a healing reaction'. The reason for this is that toxins will start being released from the cells of various organs and tissues of your body into the blood circulation so that they can be expelled through the elimination organs quickly.

Now granted I'm a bit of a geek where it comes to these things, but on Day 3 of my water fast, I was watching this video of Dr Hope reviewing this anime cartoon showing a bit about the intricacies of our immune systems - and it helped me to shift my focus from the symptoms I was feeling to cheering on the cells of my immune system busy working away on my behalf!

It was super encouraging to remind myself that we have hidden, intelligent and silent forces working perpetually on behalf of our wellbeing!

Have a watch, learn a bit about our powerful immune systems - and don’t forget to thank your body for being so amazing!
