Illness has a purpose — and a path
Disease has a goal: to return you to homeostasis, to health. Symptoms are purposeful signals with both a biological and an emotional purpose. The body sends warning signs to bring you back — the constructive phase. Ignored long enough, those signals progress to the destructivephase. The good news: most stages are temporary and reversible when you take action and are willing to change.
Constructive — your body warning you
1
Emotions repressed or suppressed
- Stress builds beneath awareness
2
Choice in foods or stimulants
- Processed & fast food
- Overeating / over-drinking
- Over-working / stress
3
Accumulation
- Proteins putrefy
- Carbohydrates ferment
- Fats go rancid
4
Intoxication
- Acute inflammation, progressing to chronic
- Body eliminates via kidney, lung, colon, skin
- Constipation, sinus congestion, headache, colds, body odor, fatigue
Destructive — when signals are ignored
5
Deposition
- Toxin overload; defenses can't keep up
- Pathology begins — abnormal cell function
- Chronic inflammation
6
Breakdown / Inflammation
- Hypertrophy or atrophy of organ function
- Heart, pancreas, liver disease
- Allergies, autoimmune conditions
7
Depletion of energy stores
- Adrenal & heart failure
- Blood sugar disturbance — diabetes
- Internal ulcers; virus / fungus / bacteria
8
Infiltration or relocation
- Parasite, fungal, bacterial, viral
- Illness and pain spread
- Cancer progresses
9
Decomposition
- Returning to the soil
Those who suppress symptoms with pills and treatments tend to stay stuck in these stages, increasing the chance illness progresses. Drugs are short-term loans with high interest — intended for under 3–6 months. The lasting answer is to stop the depletion, eat whole food, and resolve the buried feelings through the Emotion-Link.
