Body Chemistry In Health and Disease
The human
body is made of numerous organs and parts. These organs and parts are in
turn made up of different tissues and cells which are further made of
sixteen chemical elements. Though there has always been lots of research
made in the medical and dental field in various subjects, little
research has been done about degenerative diseases.
Keeping
this in mind, Dr. Melvin E. Page set about writing the book, Body
Chemistry In Health and Disease, so that people will be more aware
of the body chemistry that exists in human bodies. Dr. Page has forty
years of experience where he has devoted much of his time in the study
and the application of the minerals, phosphorus and calcium that exists
in the blood. With this experience, he found himself in a field that was
way beyond dentistry and was not in the field of medicine. And it is
here that he found out how to combat degenerative tissues. Dr. Page
named all of his investigations, body chemistry.
He
discusses the fact that the imbalance of the ratio of calcium and
phosphorus in the blood generally leads to glandular imbalance. This is
more so to the parathyroid glands which can lead to long term health
deterioration. He explains the fact that through research, it has been
found that a high ratio of phosphorus to calcium leads to the
sensitization of the body. It also increases the inflammatory tendencies
in the body.
The
imbalance of the minerals calcium and phosphorus is influenced by the
food that is consumed. He explains that eating food high in phosphorus
and low in calcium leads to over acidity. This in turn leads to a
depletion of the level of calcium in the body and this is what leads to
inflammations. However, too little of phosphorus also affect the body
chemistry and is indicated with cancer and leukemia. Dr. Page indicates
that it is better to take calcium supplements and calcium rich food with
foods or oils before having meals.
So it can
be seen that the book, Body Chemistry In Health and Disease is a
book worth reading if you intend to find out more about the effects of
the imbalance of minerals in the body. You can learn about the body
chemistry that exists in the body, and its influence in degenerative
diseases. Dr. Page aims at creating awareness in people of the existence
of body chemistry in humans between the different minerals of the body.
Many people are not aware of the degenerative diseases that occur with
the imbalance of minerals and body chemistry. It is this awareness that
Dr. Page aims at developing in the minds of people through his book,
Body Chemistry in Health and Disease.
