BEYOND COMPREHENSION

            You'll be getting several posts now about my recent time at the Dr. Al Sears Confidential Cures Summit in Palm Beach, Florida over the weekend.  I was one of 10 speakers for the 2-day shindig; two of the others were Newt Gingrich and Jesse Ventura.  They were the two most well-known, but the others were all heavy hitters.

             Dr.  Max Gomez, whose recent book CELLS ARE THE NEW CURE, said this:

 "Every cell has 1 billion bio-chemical reactions per second.  You have 1 trillion cells."

             Read that statement again and just meditate on it for a moment.  What does 1 trillion multiplied by 1 billion look like?  And that's total bio-chemical reactions  PER SECOND!  Multiply by 60 for per minute.  Multiply by 3,600 per hour.  Multilply by 86,400 per day. 

             Let's see, 1,000,000,000 X 1,000,000,000,000 is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.  That's the per second number.  If we multiply that by a day, that's another set of zeros, like 86,400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

             Stare at that number a minute.  For you engineers, I'm just an English major so I might be off a couple of digits, but at this point, who cares?  This is so far beyond our comprehension it's ridiculous.  You can't think about numbers that big.  People have turned inside out trying to describe a trillion.  This number is a trillion trillion.  In other words, it's head explosion time.

             I remember studying cells in 10th grade biology class.  We learned about the nucleus, the mitochondria and other parts, but we never heard--or knew at the time--about this kind of dialogue.  We didn't learn about bacteria living inside of cells.  Today, we now know it is far, far more complex than we ever could have imagined a half century ago.

             The point Gomez made with these incomprehensible numbers was that it is beyond hubris to think we can inject a drug into this constantly adaptive complexity and get a consistent but single reaction.  It's just not possible.  Life is far too dynamic, far too spontaneous for long-term lockstep precision, of following orders. 

             Hence, cDiff, MRSA, superbugs and a whole phalanx of new adaptive life forms.  And side effects.  It's far better to encourage these cells to do what they do.  He predicts that the future of health care will be cellular--whole cells.  Stem cells, T-cells.  The cure testimonials I heard sounded like miracles, but they all developed from whole cell work rather than current conventional pharmaceutical type interventions.

             By tapping into healthy cellular conversations and putting them into proximity with sick conversations we enable all these bio-chemical reactions to adapt and occur at a biological rate.  While this may sound like Star Wars stuff, it's actually using technology to step back and honor the incomprehensible dialogue and adaptations going on at the cellular level.

             Of course, with anything, the cure can be a new cancer if misused.  By the end of day two, we were pretty far away from my opening speech about soil and regenerative agriculture.  And to be sure, most things don't offer what they promise.  Remember a couple of years ago when Crypto-currency was going to take over the world by now?  So stay tuned.

             Gomez showed a video clip of his first stem cell patient, a 32 year-old lady who had a stroke and was confined to a wheelchair.  After stem cell injections in her brain, she now is completely mobile and has even birthed a baby.  The primary reason this is not more widely used?  The FDA.  More about that coming.

             Do you know someone helped with cellular therapy?
