To dispose of excess purine molecules, liver cells will break down the purines to produce a waste product called uric acid (UA). Uric acid is then released into your bloodstream to be filtered by the kidneys and excreted in the urine. UA is normally released by the liver into your blood in low and controlled amounts.
Now, even though UA is a waste, as long as the levels in your blood remain low, that isn’t a bad thing. Because uric acid is a powerful antioxidant and a scavenger of free radicals in our body. Free radicals cause the body to prematurely age.
So, the problem starts when that controlled amount gets out of control due to excess fructose consumption. Fructose starts a chain reaction in your liver that ends in the buildup of high levels of UA in your blood. High levels of uric acid in the blood tend to crystalize and form needle-shaped crystals called urate crystals.
Urate crystals will deposit in your joints and lead to pain and inflammation. That should more than ring a bell. Urate crystals may also deposit in your cornea, sclera and iris of your eyes and IMO, cause vision problems like nearsightedness or farsightedness.
When Urate crystals are in high concentrations, they usually clump together to form visible lumps called tophi. They will form just under your skin, in or on your joints and eyes. Tophi (plural for tophus) appears to onlookers as a physical deformity and is sometimes mistaken for tumors.
That said, your body can and will heal itself if you stop self-poisoning. This healing process involves both preventing and dissolving. Preventing involves cutting the uric acid supply lines – this means eliminating fructose and consuming high-purine food in moderation or avoiding.
Dissolving involves no action on your part. Your preventive action will provide/allow your body the time it needs to gradually dissolve existing urate crystals and tophi from its joints and tissues. It can take several months or even years for your body to fully cleanse itself.
It really depends on how often and how long you have been self-poisoning. If you’ve been self-poisoning on the daily over decades, probably years. Daily for a decade or less, probably several months.
Fructose is also increasingly recognized as the raw material (energy source) needed by cancer cells to generate cellular energy, via glycolysis (breakdown of simple sugars). Cancer cells can convert glucose into fructose through intra- and extracellular polyol pathways. Polyol – is a sugar alcohol, known to the average person as an artificial sweetener.
Pathway – is the Life Science Industries (LSI) uninformative way of saying; glucose to fructose is a two-step process, with the go between being a polyol – enough said! After that, fructose enters the cancer cell and produces excessive metabolites through glycolysis. Metabolites are substances made and or used when cancer cells breakdown fructose for energy via glycolysis.
The glycolysis of fructose is needed for cancer cell proliferation. Fructose is an energy source that will not be allowed to enter your normal cells. Thus, it’s an abundant and ever-present source of energy for cancer cells. That said, restraining yourself from eating fructose will serve to drastically suppress it as a source of energy for glycolysis in cancer cells.
But sadly, not eliminate it. And yet, that may be the deciding factor that tips the scale in your body’s favor and enables it to heal itself. You see, glucose is recognized as the only source of energy needed by normal cells to generate cellular energy via glycolysis and normal cells massively outnumber cancer cells in your body.
So, without fructose, a major alternative source of energy (directly and indirectly) for cancer cells, they may starve to death if left to compete for glucose with normal cells. Your immune system can recognize any remaining cancer cells as abnormal and kill them. The only safeguard against the growing ubiquity of fructose in our food is self-restraint. For more on fructose.
● Silver has been widely used throughout recorded history – at least 6000 years. Silver is a proven and effective treatment against almost all microbial infections (bacteria and viruses). There are no menacing side effects – as with most prescription drugs today. For more on colloidal silver.
