The Cell Danger Response The cell danger response is the response of the cells to potential harm and was a topic of the 2019 Clinical Nutrition Conference. This relatively new concept helps us better understand how exposure to toxins including those in vaccines may contribute to a wide variety of degenerative diseases. The cell danger response is triggered by chemical, physical, or biological threats which exceed the coping ability of cells. It has its roots in the ability to deal with viral and bacterial invasion but the cells use the same strategy to deal with toxin exposure. When the body moves into a cell danger response, the body can have difficulty resolving the response. Disorders which have been associated with the response include autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, asthma, atopy, gluten and other food intolerances, emphysema, Tourette's syndrome, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, epilepsy, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and autoimmune conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. With this understanding it becomes clear that a single vaccination or infection is not likely to create a problem for most individuals. The process is like filling a barrel with water. Only when the water overflows the top of the barrel does flooding take place. By the same token, Constant exposure to environmental toxins overwhelms the cells triggering the cell danger response and making recovery difficult. What interested me as I have studied this concept is the potential role for nutrition in this process. A key feature of the cell danger response is the hardening of the cell membrane which is particularly damaging to nerve cells and brain functioning. Quality lipids like Tre-en-en and Salmon Oil Plus promote membrane fluidity and also aid detox at the cellular levels and play a role in resolution of inflammatory conditions. Sulfur containing compounds including a complete protein, cruciferous vegetables, and garlic are essential detox compounds. The general population needs to make an effort to avoid toxic exposures of all kinds and also needs to incorporate into lifestyles diets and supplements that provide protection from toxins and help resolve the cell danger response.
