Pulling The Roots Of Disease (Part 3)
COMMENTARY: THE ROOTS OF DISEASE
At times, everyone experiences mental and emotional turmoil. For many it’s a way of life. Chronic worry, heartache, loss, frustration and pain take a toll on the nerves and deplete vital force, depress immunity, disrupt hormones and biorhythms. Childhood stress, relationship stress, job stress… it all adds up and can take a whopping toll on your health. It’s a fact, stress kills.
2) Toxemia
Ingested toxins, environmental toxins, metabolic toxins… by the millions. From the dry cleaners and lawn chemicals to the food industry and ’sick building syndrome’, we’re all exposed to more toxins than we can shake a stick at. This is in addition to the toxins our bodies create as a by-product of work, exercise and STRESS. Over the years the body’s elimination of toxins may be insufficient to deal with the load. Disease can result when excessive poisons accumulate in our cells and block normal function. Most notably, we find that people suffer with toxic blood, lymph, intestines, liver, kidneys/bladder, lungs and sinuses.
3) Autonomic Dysrhythmia
Modern culture is ’sympathetic dominant’. This is a serious dysfunction that is practically ubiquitous, affecting even our household pets. No joke. Sympathetic dominance is present when the nervous system is dominated by stress and the classic fight/flight physiology. Volumes of Nobel Prize research stand as testament to the fact that an overactive sympathetic nervous system leads to accelerated aging and disease.
