Our cells are amazing and complex – all 70-100 trillion of them.

They are strong and fragile at the same time.

One thing that cannot be disputed is that optimum health starts at the cellular level.

Our Cells – How we Stay Alive

• Regulates the transfer of minerals, hormones, vitamins, and enzymes.
• Produces energy through the mitochondria – ATP.
• Keeps us hydrated.
• Eliminates waste products such as carbon dioxide.
• Facilitates intracellular communication.

The Membrane is Key

• The membrane is a permeable fatty layer.
• Regulates what moves in and out of the cell.
• Communicates with other cells.
• Has receptors that signal a cellular response such as insulin.

When It All Goes Wrong

• Free radicals damage the cell membrane.
• Toxins damage the cell membrane.
• The membrane becomes blocked.
• Waste material is trapped in and nutrients are trapped out.
• Nutrition cannot be absorbed
• Waste cannot be eliminated efficiently
