Upset mineral relationships Make enzymes less available Cause the leaky gut syndrome, gut permeability Partially digested food gets in blood stream This food lodges in the soft tissues and causes havoc in the body The immune system looks at this food like a foreign invader & remove it from blood stream Over a period of time you exhaust your immune system which opens the door to infectious and degenerative diseases.

Malnutrition Primary Malnutrition Do not enough food, not enough gets into the cell to function on the cellular level Secondary Malnutrition Eat enough food but eat abusive foods, foods to which you react (allergic foods), fried foods, over processed food and/or too much food Food can become toxic and will not get to the cell to function on the cellular level Tercerary Malnutrition Eat enough food, no abusive food, no foods to which you react, and food is not fried or overcooked and you do not eat too much If you are distressed, angry, holding judgements against others or have other negative emotions, the food can become toxic and can not function on the cellular level.
Fat travels in the blood in the form of a molecule called triglyceride. When a triglyceride in the blood reaches a cell, enzymes at the surface of the cell break down the molecule and the fatty acids can enter the cell. Once inside the cell, an amino acid, Lcarnitin e helps shuttle the fatty acids into a fat burning factory inside the cell called the mitochondria. Although fat is able to enter the cell without using insulin to transport it lik e glucose must, insulin blocks this fat-carnitine system and thereby keeps the fat from entering the mitochondria where it would be burned for energy production. Insulin pushes the fatty acids back into triglycerides and out of the cell e ncouraging the storage of fat in fatty tissue. In short, excess insulin directly creates obesity.
