Pulling The Roots Of Disease (Part 6)
9) Chronic Inflammation, Lesions and Restrictions
10) Structural Subluxations
Gravity, injuries, sitting in chairs, bad shoes, and poor posture can all cause spinal and joint mis-alignment, which in turn leads to neuro-muscular, multiple organ and system dysfunction. Autopsy research indicates that in most cases, diseased organs are directly linked to subluxated vertebra. Subluxations of the cranial joints (sutures) have also been shown to cause serious dysfunction in body, mind and behavior. For optimal health and disease prevention, alignment of the whole body is vital.
Secondary Processes:
11) Endocrine Dysregulation
The endocrine (or hormonal) system is one of the master systems of the body, controlling all basic metabolic processes. As the roots of disease take hold in the body the hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal (HPA Axis) becomes imbalanced and the body begins to lose the capacity for self-defense and self-repair. Thyroid, pineal, pancreas, ovarian and testicular problems will develop manifesting excessive and deficient cycling of hormones. The spectrum of symptoms that result from endocrine dysregulation is vast.
In general, if you have hormonal problems, it is a mistake to assume that the primary problem is with the gland itself. For example, thyroid problems are common, but it is wrong to assume that it is a primary thyroid disease, as this is rarely the case. When the deeper (upstream) imbalances have been corrected, our hormonal system can return to balance. Ignoring the roots of disease and taking hormones is the wrong approach. Balancing endocrine dysregulation by pulling the deeper roots of disease, is the correct approach.
