Seven Stages of the Disease Process


The Seven Stages of Disease
Disease never sneaks up on people and strikes them down.  It takes a long time and a great deal of neglect and abuse of the body for disease to finally occur.  
In order to better understand the disease process, it's important to understand how it progresses in various stages beginning with mild symptoms and ending in a full-blown crisis. The following are the seven stages of disease:
1. ENERVATION
Enervation is a condition in which the body is either not generating sufficient energy for the tasks it must perform or the tasks the body must perform are greater than the normal supply can cope with.  
2. TOXEMIA
The second stage of degeneration is intoxication resulting from the abusive acts of stage 1 that slows the body's ability through time to eliminate poisons by clogging the detoxification organs and filtration systems specific to intestines, liver, kidneys, skin, blood circulation, and lymphatic flow.
3. IRRITATION
Irritation is a condition in which the body sets its defensive mechanisms in motion and speeds up its internal activities in order to unload stored up toxins.  Many warning symptoms will be familiar to you:
4. INFLAMMATION
Inflammation is the body's most intense effort to cleanse and restore itself.  When this process occurs, you become keenly aware that a problem exists, for it involves PAIN.  Pain has purpose.

5. ULCERATION
The fifth stage means that the body has been under assault for such a long time that massive amounts of cells and tissue are being destroyed. 
6. INDURATION
Scarring is a form of induration which is a hardening of tissue or the filling in of tissue where it has been lost, such as with an ulcer. 
7. CANCER
In this final stage there is a cellular disorder from repeated free radical hits on the genetic material, damaging DNA during replication, transcription, and translation of the new cell generation.

All seven progressive stages of disease are nothing more than the body's effort to return to balance and order (homeostasis) by attempting to purge itself of the unwanted toxins that are poisoning it. The symptoms of this triggered healing crisis are what medical science calls DISEASE.

Applying this knowledge of the 7 Stages of Disease and how to prevent from reaching stage 7 should provide for a lifetime of health and youth.  All you have to do is modify your behaviors slightly.  The choice is yours...  For now.
