[Home] [Foundations] [Ensuring Cellular Communication] Health Foundation # 3 is Ensuring Cellular Communication Communication is always vital to any cooperative effort. No where is communication more important than within the 20 trillion cells that make up the republic of cells we call the human body. The cells that make up our body must communicate correctly to each other, or the loss of cohesive functioning and health is inevitable.     There are several key communication pathways in the body that must be maintained in optimal functioning condition. First, is the nitric oxide signaling mechanism. Second, are redox molecules. Third, is Vitamin D3. Fourth, are the hormones (chemical messengers). With our current understanding of cellular communication, we know that as a matter of utmost importance we must maintain the proper functioning of the nitric oxide signaling mechanism and the proper functioning of our nutrient sensors: Nitric Oxide Signaling. Nitric oxide’s role in transmitting signals between cells by diffusion in plasma or cytoplasm was the subject of the 1998 Nobel Prize that was awarded to three American scientists. They found that nitric oxide is used as a signaling mechanism in: the cardiovascular system - transmitting the signals that cause arterial and capillary walls to contract and relax completely with each blood stroke blood flow - increasing blood flow to the stomach after eating food or increasing blood flow to sex organs the immune system - coordinating attacks on parasites and bacteria sense of smell memory   Prevents plaque build-up in the arteries.
