− | # ENERVATION - This is the first step in disease. Our fund of nerve energy becomes overdrawn to the point that the body is unable to eliminate the toxic by-products of me- tabolism. Enervation is a state in which the body is either not generating sufficient nerve energy for the tasks the body must perform, or the tasks the body must perform may be greater than the normal nerve energy supply can cope with. The body thus becomes impaired and generates less nerve energy. All the body’s functions become impaired and this includes the processes of elimination of both endogenous metabolic wastes and the exogenous poisons introduced into the body (such as in our chemicalized foods). This impairment results in further diminishing the body’s ability to restore depletion of nerve energy. This situation results in a condition called toxemia or toxicosis—the sec- ond stage of disease. | + | # '''ENERVATION -''' This is the first step in disease.

− | # TOXICOSIS-Thebloodandtissuesbecomeloadedwiththeuneliminatedtoxicmate- rials from body metabolism and/or from toxins taken in from processed foods, drinks, drugs, etc. Intoxication occurs when we overload the body with toxic materials from the outside, or we fail to observe our capacities and overwork, get insufficient sleep, or are subjected to great stress, or when any number of other factors deplete the body of nerve energy or prevent its sufficient regeneration. For instance, stresses, emotional shocks, or traumatic experiences can drain our bodies of nerve energy very quickly. | + | # '''TOXICOSIS -''' Thebloodandtissuesbecomeloadedwiththeuneliminatedtoxicmate- rials from body metabolism and/or from toxins taken in from processed foods, drinks, drugs, etc. Intoxication occurs when we overload the body with toxic materials from the outside, or we fail to observe our capacities and overwork, get insufficient sleep, or are subjected to great stress, or when any number of other factors deplete the body of nerve energy or prevent its sufficient regeneration.

− | # IRRITATION-Thisisthethirdstageofdisease.Thebodyunloadsitstoxicityatvarious points in the body. Irritation takes the form of itchiness, edginess, uncomfortable feelin- gs, etc. Any toxic material, be it salt, caffeine, or condiments will irritate or stimulate. This is a condition wherein the body sets in force its defensive mechanisms and accel- erates its internal activities. A burst of activity will result in an effort to rid the body of these unwanted irritants. If the causes of enervation/intoxication/irritation remain, inflammation results. | + | # '''IRRITATION -''' Thisisthethirdstageofdisease.Thebodyunloadsitstoxicityatvarious points in the body.

| In inflammation, the toxicants have usually been concentrated in an organ or area for a massive expulsive effort. It is an evidence or symptom of increased and intense body activity directed at cleansing and repair. It is a healing activity. If this eliminative effort is suppressed by drugs, the toxicity increases until other organs become saturat- ed—not only with this toxicity but with the drugs administered as well. This fourth stage of disease is the body’s most intense effort to cleanse and restore itself. The following degenerative stages of disease will result if the causes of general body intoxication are continued. | | In inflammation, the toxicants have usually been concentrated in an organ or area for a massive expulsive effort.
