ECOMAN

The human body as a micro eco-system.


  Man, as all forms of life, should be  looked at as an eco-system in
itself. We are not only  part of the greater eco-system that we live in, but
also our own body is itself an environment.
 We are made up of  flesh,  the soil of our system, which contains  water ,
air, and micro-organisms.  We are dependent upon inputs and outputs, food ,
water, the suns rays, and the bacteria and fungi(among other things) to
remain in balance.

 An example of  the balance of the system is man�s host of the micro-
organisms.  They live
in an interdependent relationship, symbiosis.  Just as these organisms live
in our environment, our body, are dependent on us for survival , we are
dependent on them. They not only  keep out intruding dangerous organisms,
they help the different systems function. They even destroy cancerous cells.
However , for them to be able to function, the system must be in balance.

 Balance of the system includes having the proper P.H., temperature,
chemical composition, and the presence of many other substances. ( enzymes,
antibodies, electric signals and more. )
The presence of poison (chemicals and pollution ) can unbalance the whole
eco-system. If any part of the system can not survive, the whole environment
can break down. If the micro-organisms die, we die. If the temperature,
P.H., water level change enough, we, the system, break down.

 Part of the mechanism that controls the balance of the environment is the
whole basis of life, the DNA molecule, are genes. Even those inhabitants
 the micro-organisms ) of our body, the man eco-system, have many of the
same genes as we have. If we have some genes or gene that  has changed, we
can bring the system out of sync. The body will not react properly to
disruptions which will allow diseases to develop. The viruses can correct
the situation by "fixing" the genes, and cause the body to react effectively
to bring the system back in balance.

 The reaction of the body produces the needed substances to maintain our
internal environment. These substances can cure inflammation, natural
steroids. They can reduce pain like our man made (body) heroin. They can
cure our diseases and rebuild our damaged systems. Usually our genes trigger
our environment, our systems, to allow us the cure ourselves, bring
ourselves into balance.

 The triggering can be blocked or missing (genes). Western medicine tries to
cure us by supplying  the chemical compounds directly through drugs. Eastern
medicine tries to stimulate (example: acupuncture ) the systems that produce
the healing compounds when the natural triggering is lacking. Faith healing
and witch-doctors try to heal by forcing us to break through to our systems
to produce or react the desired way. Bio-feedback teaches to do the same
thing as the most primitive healers, but in an aware way. All the herbal
treatments either provide the compounds or stimulate the systems. All forms
of treatments work  similarly. They try to bring the system back into
balance, save the ecology.

 Eco-man is a world in itself. The understanding and preservation of this
world could be enhanced greatly if it were perceived as such. This modest
attempt at presenting a new way to look at ourselves, welcomes reaction from
any   corner, in the hope of bringing benefit to each and every world,
organism.
