Key Takeaways:
- The body goes through 4 stages from wellness to disease: acute, subacute, chronic, and degenerative. Simply treating acute conditions leads to stagnation and deeper stages of illness.
- The acute stage involves cold and flu-like symptoms as the body tries to expel toxins. Suppressing this acute stage can push toxins deeper into the lymphatic system.
- The sub-acute stage involves symptoms like yellow mucus and eyes turning yellow, indicating deeper lymph toxicity.
- The chronic stage involves conditions like arthritis and swelling as acids accumulate for a long time. Tissue function starts to reduce.
- The degenerative stage involves cell damage as acids build up inside cells, leading to atypical and "cancer" cells. But death often results from medical treatment, not the condition itself.
- There are also 4 processes the body must go through to be well: digestion, absorption, utilization, and elimination.
- Fixing elimination by filtering kidneys and sweating skin is essential first to remove metabolic waste and allow other processes to work properly.
- Acidosis in the lymphatic system, not blood, is the root cause of most health issues.
- The diet focuses on removing acid-forming foods and incorporating more alkaline-forming fruits and vegetables to hydrate and rebalance the body.
- Herbs are used to help digestive organs, lymphatic system, kidney function, and more to address the root causes of imbalance.
