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.
