The cell and toxins in the hygienist perspective
Hygienist thinking takes into great consideration the transformations and complex reactions that take place at the cellular level . In particular the transformation that glucose, fats, nitrogenous foods, mineral salts undergo within the cellular dimension to be broken down into simpler substances or to be oxygenated thanks to the oxygen that flows into the blood. Heat and muscular work are part of the manifestation of the energy that is produced by the processes of decomposition, assimilation and oxygenation.
The cells continuously build new living substance, repair damage due to wear. The young cell grows and divides. The metabolism of the cells that originate is regulated by the hormonal glands. The "arbiters" of cellular processes are the internal secretion glands such as the pituitary gland, the thyroid gland, the parathyroid glands, the thymus gland.
We are then equipped with organs predisposed to expel to the outside. The lymph that bathes the cells is loaded directly with their waste and through the lymphatic capillaries and then through the lymphatic veins transports them to the blood circuit, through which the internal toxins will be conveyed towards the excretory organs.
The sweat glands expel sweat from the pores. In the same way the kidneys are equipped with uranium tubes to expel the complex of urea, uric acid, mineral salts (the whole takes on a yellow color by virtue of bile pigments). The liver producing bile eliminates water, bile salts, bile pigments. The secretion function is essential for cellular life.
The intoxication of the environment in which the cell lives is called " toxemia" . We talk about exogenous toxemia when due to external factors and endogenous when the cell fails to evacuate the metabolism waste.
The vital energy to regulate toxemia
Knowing the right food combinations helps avoid toxic intestinal putrefaction. You need to get good quality organic food. In fact, there is always a slight presence of toxemia in the body; what matters is to understand the drainage of toxins in order to keep it at a level tolerable by the system. Strongly renewing elements for vital energy are: water, sun, food, air. In hygienist books when we talk about vital energy we use a synonym that is " nervous energy ". This speaks volumes about the sovereign role that the nervous system plays.

When the vital energy is not sufficient to guarantee the elimination of the waste, we speak of enervation, often given by anti-physiological habits that are not only food or motor, but also related to mental attitudes : dishonesty, selfishness, disloyalty, prolonged sadness, bad mood chronic, lie. Sexual energy abuses also generate enervation. Highlighting the right hours of sleep is crucial as there is a close link between the liver and rest.
We must also become aware of unnerving habits in our lifestyle. Be an observer with respect to the days and choices made in them. If the enervated people resort to exciters (coffee, white sugar, alcohol, tobacco, etc.) they only feed the spiral of enervation.
Acute disease as an index of vitality
In the hygienist perspective, the acute crisis is a manifestation of extreme vitality . It manifests itself in synthesis when the organism "cannot bear it anymore" of our incorrect lifestyles. The mediating force in the hygienist vision is within the individual. Knowing oneself, limits and sensitivities are studied.
Water fasting is what is recommended in the acute phase, to then adapt to a progressive food recovery that includes a lot of fruit and vegetables. Fasting serves to economize a large part of energy not only on the digestive level, but also in favor of the heart and lungs. In summary, if you continue to consume food in the acute phase, the recovery process is hindered.
Other fundamental factors of the hygienist perspective in the acute phase: mental rest, emotional rest, rest of the senses and physical rest. These devices serve to save vital energy and to create new ones already available from the convalescence. We reiterate that fasting is not something to be taken lightly. There are real food stages: preparation, execution, exit.
How much is hygiene of thoughts linked to fasting?
If you want to learn more about the principles of hygienist life we recommend the book by Désiré Merien "Vital hygiene to improve your health" (Edizioni Natura). You will find precise definitions relating to toxin tolerance, somatic reactivity and developmental stages of health stages.
In general, hygienist life implies a correct use of internal and external energy sources towards a general balance on mental, sensory, emotional and physical levels.
