The
Evolution of Disease
Everyone believes: "Disease is never going to happen to
me." When it does, it seems like the condition happened
to them overnight and there was absolutely nothing that
they could have done to spare themselves. They feel like
victims, completely without choice, with fear and the
feelings of helplessness.
Health Declines in Phases
Contrary to popular opinion, disease does not happen
overnight. There are choices involved.
It may take years, but these poor choices and the
consequential imbalances in the whole body allow disease
to happen.

Healthy people don’t get sick nor do they need drugs.
If you regularly depend on any kind of drug, prescriptive or otherwise,
YOU ARE NOT HEALTHY.

Until recently, people believed each subsequent
generation entering retirement years would be in better
physical shape than the preceding generation.
In March 2007, a Health and Retirement Study research published
by the nonprofit National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER),
and supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA),
a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH),
revealed the disturbing trend of Americans in their
early to mid-50s reporting poorer health, more pain, and
more trouble doing every day physical tasks than their
older peers reported when they were the same age in
recent years.
Many of today's common diseases didn't even exist 40
years ago. While there have been remarkable advances in
the Medical Arts with: more technology, more doctors,
more specialties, more pharmaceutical drugs and more
hospitals; we are the least healthy generation of
Americans in history, and we are experiencing ever
increasing rates of disease.
Modern society is so preoccupied and overwhelmed with
every day activities that people have lost contact with
what is the most important asset they possess – their
health. Have you ever thought about the miracle of the
human body? Or considered the way the body functions in
perfect harmony - with lungs breathing, heart beating,
senses sensing, muscles moving, healing and regenerating
itself every 7 years? Few have the time to think about
this until a problem develops.
Everyone believes: "Disease is never going to happen to
me." When it does, it seems like the condition happened

Phases1 and 2 - Decline
“Feeling off” may just be a bad day or, it is your body
trying to tell you something. If it is the latter, you
may want to pay attention, or you might be forced to
suffer the consequences. Ignoring or denying these
signals is a risky choice that may eventually lead to a
health catastrophe.
Beyond this obvious sign of declining health, taking
drugs, the body can signal other warning signs that your
health is in decline.
- If you are chronically sluggish (mentally or
physically),
- If you lack energy or enthusiasm or just plain
interest in your life and surroundings
- If you are plagued by mental confusion, brain fog,
learning or behavior problems
- If you feel chronically lazy or out-of-sorts
- If you are constantly running in overdrive or on
empty, feeling "tired" but "wired"
- If you have chronic complaints of any sort including:
· endurance
· insomnia
· headaches or body aches and pains
· frequent mood swings
· unexplained, excessive or unprovoked irritability or
anxiety
· insufficient body mass including: bones, ligaments,
tendons and other connective tissue
· indigestion, acid stomach, reflux, constipation,
diarrhea, bloating, cramping or gas
· allergies
· constipation, diarrhea or irregular bowel habits
· weight issues
· excess water retention
· excess fat

Health Declines in Phases
Contrary to popular opinion, disease does not happen
overnight. There are choices involved. It is the choices
a person makes, like: avoiding exercise, poor dietary
habits, skipping meals, eating too much fast food,
leading a stressful, negative lifestyle that can lead to
the depletion and/or an imbalance of the nutrients
necessary to sustain a healthful body. It may take years
of constant neglect and over-indulgence to create a
disease condition but these poor choices and the
consequential imbalances in the whole body allow disease
to happen. Your body is meant to function in a state of
balance - NOT a constant state of distress.
|
|
Phase 1 of Declining Health
The 1st phase of declining health can be caused by
over-eating, drinking, over work, worry, and
over-indulgence in cooked and processed food. So many people
choose to over-indulge on a regular basis and
never stop to think about the outcome.
In fact, 1st
phase of degeneration is characterized by approximately
95 percent lifestyle and/or environmental factors.
Stress and alcohol further deplete valuable nutrients
and toxins. Sugar, salt, caffeine, tobacco, drugs, serum
injections, impure water, polluted air, tension,
depression, and lack of rest burden the body as it tries
to maintain the balance to sustain health. The result is
reduced vital energy or strength with a weakened immune
system.
In the 1st phase of declining health, the body becomes
compromised. When not corrected, the poor choices you
make will progressively overwhelm the system because the
proper nutritional support from food, that the body
requires, is negligible.
Phase 2 of Declining Health
During the 2nd phase, the body's ability to digest food
has become compromised. Researchers estimate that the
body expends 70 to 80 percent of its energy digesting
food, delivering nutrients, removing wastes and toxins.
The energies of digestion are always divided between
assimilation and elimination. An unequal use of those
energies is caused by the practice of overeating and the
other abusive choices mentioned earlier.
Other stimulating choices such as caffeine, sodas, sugar,
sweet fruit and alcohol will divert this vital energy.
You may experience occasional: gas, bloating, food
intolerance and irregular bowel habits.
Blood must flow to and from the digestive organs
throughout the entire body to deliver nutrients and
remove metabolic wastes during digestion. As a result of
poor digestion, there is an increase in food toxins in
the blood stream. This leaves the body intoxicated,
sluggish, and weakened with little or no capacity in the
blood stream to delivery nutrients or remove waste.
One of the recognizable signs may be constipation. The
usual choice, over the counter aids such as laxatives or
high fiber drinks, are not the best choice because
chemically based substances will only add toxicity to
the body.
There are other signs of toxicity. When non-usable
substances and their toxins are not or cannot be
eliminated, they are stored in the tissues, joints, and
organs. The body is not only overburdened with toxins,
but the struggle of the body's ability to support proper
digestion and metabolism, balance enzymes and hormones,
rebuild muscle, tissue, and bone is now impaired. The
continually tired, sluggish body is susceptible to a
health crisis.
The Choices Have Consequences.
The poor nutrition from the 1st phase of decline has
failed to provide the necessary elements to supply the
body's nutritional requirements for metabolic enzymes,
antibodies and even hormones.
The digestive issues, created by the 2nd phase of decline, has slowed the
elimination of toxins by the liver and kidneys and has
placed a burden on the body's defense system.
Free radicals begin to damage blood, tissue and cells. These
destructive factors can be magnified by age with
progressive weakening of the body as it accumulates more
and more of the various toxins.
|
Phases 3 and 4 - Degeneration
The Degeneration of Health
The decline starts to accelerate. When the eating and
drinking habits that led to an overly toxic body in the
2nd phase of degeneration are consistently repeated,
then an overly acidic body fluid condition, called
acidosis, develops. |
|
Acidosis means the body's alkaline reserves, elements it
uses to keep the pH in balance, are being depleted. When
there are not enough buffers for balance, these acids
enter the cell and eventually cause the cell itself to
become saturated by acid.
Once the cells are saturated,
the cell itself we will experience a loss of minerals
buffers. Potassium, chlorides, magnesium, and other
minerals will then be carried out of the body via the
kidneys.
The alkaline minerals, when not available in
the bloodstream, are leached from teeth, bones, and the
liver to neutralize deadly acids. The alkaline buffers
in the blood are not available to support the body's
defense against acid-forming foods, toxic waste, stress
and preserve life. Life's energy will be depleted along
with these minerals.
Phase 3 - Degenerating Health
Progression to 3rd phase, the degeneration of health,
involves pH imbalances and a distinct deterioration of
the body as cellular activity is compromised and we
begin to age at an unnatural rate.
This acid/alkaline imbalance further impairs our
digestive ability because the body cannot produce
hydrochloric acid in the stomach for digestion. The
absence of free hydrochloric acid in the stomach leads
to chronic gastritis and burping, belching, and gas that
often results from these chronic problems. The use of
over-the-counter antacids will increase the problem.
Think of it this way. The body's top priority is to keep
the system in balance; when you add an alkaline, by
taking an antacid, the body will respond by creating
more acid to sustain its balance. The cycle repeats over
and over.
Phase 4 - Degenerating Health
The 4th phase of degeneration is referred to as
"inflammation," characterized by heat, redness,
swelling, and pain. Toxemia is the basic cause of all
inflammation, including the lining of the membranes of
the hollow organs of the body.
During 4th phase of degeneration, constant, elevated
toxicity and acidity creates a distressed internal
environment that increases the severity of the symptoms
and, because of the all of the toxic stress being placed
on the body, the lungs, kidneys, and liver are all
suffering.
The 4th phase of degeneration also coincides with
further deterioration of the metabolic environment due
to the presence of high levels of toxins, an
accumulation of metabolic wastes and dead cells.
- Various parasitic and pathogenic factors will find
conditions favorable for invading the body. These
unwanted organisms produce toxins of their own making.
The body’s waste ability to remove waste, which is in a
weakened condition, is overwhelmed by the additional
load of toxins imposed by the organisms.
- This accumulation of toxic materials within the
organs, joints, and/or other vital parts of the body
becomes apparent and the resultant toxicity becomes
evident.
- The body’s ability to repair and replace cells
(Anabolism) is greatly affected as the body's cellular
activity emphasis is directed to defense.
- Additionally, the buffering capacity of the body's
fluids is further impaired.
- Science has shown that many allergic reactions begin
in the gut because the toxic, inorganic substances
created by the undigested food, drink and drugs that
cannot be expelled by the body. "Allergies" are nothing
more than the irritation of nasal passages that are
already chronically inflamed from a pronounced toxemic
condition.
- Many of these undigested, toxic particles may pass
directly from the gut into the blood stream. As a
result, they become trapped in the joints, kidneys, and
gall bladder. A series of symptoms manifested by
stone-like formations in these organs may be noted in
some people.

Deterioration
Deteriorating Health
In the earlier phases of declining health, the constant toxicity created a
depressed environment in the body: with the frequency and severity of symptoms
increasing as major organs became compromised, and favorable conditions for
various parasitic and pathogenic factors to invade the body. These circumstances
result in organ deterioration and functional impairment of 5th phase of degeneration
and the degenerative diseases and major system dysfunction of 6th phase of degeneration |
|
Phase 5 of Deteriorating Health
The 5th phase of degeneration is characterized by: a
significant weakening of the body, frequent recurrence
of ailments, organ deterioration, functional impairment
and the onset of the actual disease.
At this point, the outwardly obvious signs of health
problems are now evident. There is a gradual thickening
(hardening) of the mucous and sub-mucous tissue due to
inflammation, which remain unchanged. This increased
level of hardening chokes arterial circulation
(hardening of the arteries), cutting off oxygen and the
food supply.
The tissues clump and break down, giving rise to skin
disorders. These skin problems can be skin eruptions,
such as moles, liver spots, callused feet, and other
dead cell accumulations.
The lymphatic system becomes stagnant. It is unable to
utilize antioxidants, which puts the body in danger of
oxidative stress and premature tissue aging.
Metabolic function is completely limited by the
condition of the body. Most organs are severely
compromised and unsafe levels of bacteria are present.
By this point, the ability of the body has now given way
to degenerative diseases and major system dysfunction.
Normal toxin elimination is subverted; giving way to the
excretion of toxic-laden mucous as it erupts from open
wounds, boils, fistulas, and internal ulcers. These
excretions may occur from the eyes, ears, nose, vagina,
or other body cavities.
Phase 6 of Deteriorating Health
Shortly thereafter, the body will be experiencing the
conditions of the 6th Phase of Degeneration.
Other symptoms in this phase could be high or low blood
sugar and/or anorexia, which are nothing more than SHS
(sugar handling stress) due to adrenal exhaustion from a
highly toxic condition. Irritable bowel syndrome and
ulcerated states are now seen in this phase. The bad
bacteria can no longer be held in check and are
overgrowing the good microbes. The good and bad bacteria
in the colon are out of balance with the bad bacteria
striving to take over villi sites in the intestines;
fighting for control of the same sites, so they can eat
the poorly digested food in the intestinal tract. The
ability of the body to break down wheat or other grains
is further handicapped by the overgrowth of bad bacteria
at this phase.
As conditions worsen, indigestion and mal-absorption of
nutrients will favor the overgrowth of undesirable and
opportunistic microorganisms in the GI tract, which will
support the conversion of the poorly digested foods into
toxic compounds. For example, studies have shown that
some undesirable bacteria of the GI microorganisms
convert cholesterol into estrogen-like compounds. Thus,
in addition to any estrogen produced by the body as a
normal physiological process, more estrogen may be
produced by poor digestion, creating an excess imbalance
in the body.
Phase 7 of Deteriorating Health
The organ deterioration and functional impairment of 5th
Phase of deterioration has reached critical levels and
resulted in degenerative diseases and major system
dysfunction of 6th phase of degeneration.
In the 7th phase of degeneration, the body is
overwhelmed by disease. In this final phase, there is a
cellular disorder that causes tissue growth of a morbid
nature, poor circulation and general degeneration of the
body because cells no longer renew themselves
adequately. These cells become damaged or abnormal,
robbing the health cells of nutrients. Tumors, growths
and Cancer develop as a result of physical, chemical, or
genetic mechanisms that interfere with the production of
the body's cells.

Some Truths are Ageless
“Disease is not "bound to happen." Often, disease is a
symptom of the body's inability to return to balance. It
can be overcome with a willingness to manage and
eliminate the abuses and maintain a disciplined
adherence to a reasonable, balanced diet of whole foods.
A regime of proper foods, exercise, rest and permanent,
life-changing habits can bring a variety of positive
effects.
“Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy
food.” When Hippocrates uttered this oft quoted profound
statement, there wasn’t the problem of preservatives,
food dyes, chemicals and fast food that plague our
modern diet.
“To Change the Way Things Are, You Must Change the
Things You Do.”
Everyone will have gaps: in their diet, their exercise
and rest, so don’t despair make a few changes and get on
with your life. For example, if you can’t eat everything
you need to become and stay healthy, simply fill the gap
in your diet with a well-designed nutraceutical program.
“It Isn’t Over Until it is Over.”
The affect on
particular conditions largely depends on the
degeneration of the body and its vital organs. However,
the body is resilient. If sufficient life energy
remains, and you have the will, the possibilities for
rejuvenation are good enough to warrant a change.
|
|
|
Insanity is: doing the same thing
over and over, expecting a different outcome.
You must change the things you
do to change the way things are.
