What is Disease? Disease is a breakdown of your body's cells optimal function making your body "fertile soil." This happens through poor eating habits, overwork, stuffing your emotions, eating too many cooked foods, too much sugar, salt, caffeine, drugs, vaccines, tension, depression, lack of proper rest, lack of exercise, environmental contamination of the air/water/food and the retention of metabolic wastes (constipation). The only effective way to "cure" disease is to eliminate the causes. Disease does not attack a healthy body because the body has very effective resistance mechanisms which handles many of the above situations. When the body is exposed or overloaded with these stresses the immune system loses its resistance and becomes "toxic". This means that the cells within the system are not functioning correctly or are not getting enough oxygen so the metabolism gets sluggish and overworked. This leads to an overall decrease in resistance letting disease takes hold. Disease can be expressed in terms of signs or symptoms. When we express how we feel and what we feel we are describing a symptom. When we look at the patient for abnormalities (like in the veterinary profession) and determine what we think to be the problem then we call these signs. Let's take the simple cold as an example. The symptoms of a cold are merely an expression of the body's effort to "clean house". By producing fevers, coughing, sneezing, and runny noses, the body is cleansing the excess toxins produced from sick cells. Each time we suppress these symptoms with over-the-counter treatments and other drugs we are driving the toxins back into the body. These toxins will travel through the bloodstream and lie quietly in an organ until you toxify your system further. So down the line instead of colds--flu develops which brings vomiting and diarrhea. This is uncomfortable so we take things to stop these signs/symptoms. This in turn drives the toxins even deeper into the system and over a period of time you may notice you don't get colds or flu anymore. Instead, bronchial infections develop which we again treat which drives the disease deeper still. Things may be fine for a few years then one day you feel terrible and don't know why. You go to the doctor and they diagnose a chronic degenerative disease such as cancer, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, lupus, diabetes or heart disease. . .true signs that your body is now entirely toxic. When does it end? When you die an uncomfortable disease ridden, agonizing death? Can we stop disease or reverse agonizing symptoms? Yes. How? We have to clean up our lives with optimal nutrition, special diets, cleansing programs, specific vitamins and supplements, fresh extracted juices, herbs and other natural therapies which do not harm the body over time. We must change our living habits and the way we think. We need to find a balance between the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our life. Nutrition is one of the most important factors in fighting disease. Nutrients are what the body has to work with in building and maintaining healthy cells, tissues, glands and organs. Nutrients are used in the operation of all bodily functions. Did you know that 80% of the foods consumed by the average American today has been tampered with in one way or another? Most of the nutrients have either been taken out or destroyed. Try to remember that cooked food is dead food. Only living foods can build healthy bodies. That is what most of our diet should consist of. Don't misunderstand me. Drugs, surgery, chiropractic manipulations, acupuncture etc. are all useful in the treatment of disease and sometimes we do need to intervene with treatment to suppress a symptom or sign when our body is in jeopardy, but unless the corrective and supportive nutritional therapy is given priority these attempts to correct illness will fail.
