Types of Disease

When I was going through my cancer treatment, I tried to find more information about the causes of the disease. A lot of non-conventional sources that I came across, mentioned unhealthy lifestyle, especially diet, as the culprits. A small percentage (less than 10%) was linked to the genetics.

I was determined to find out why I got cancer, what the main trigger was. At the time, I was not sure whether there were any reasons in the first place for people getting cancer or it was random and purely a bad luck. I researched countless sources of information, and concluded that conventional medicine in its modern version as we know it, is not going to give me the full answer.

I kept digging, read about other points of view, available alternative theories outside of the conventional approach that offered their own inter­pretation. It was a long reading list, but all sources agreed that food had the main impact on ill or good health. I then wanted to find out how come that food can do so much damage or healing and why most of the people and the respectful official scientific sources were not aware of it to the extent they should be. I tried to research which foods affect us at most. As I went along, my research also gave me a better understanding about how our body functions. 

Amongst my multiple discoveries was the fact that our body has the ability to store and incapsulate waste and toxins when it struggles to eliminate them. The accumulation of those, with time, invites disease.

All in all, according to my findings, the diseases can be divided into 3 groups:

• Diseases as a manifestation of an intense cleansing process;
• Diseases related to the breakdown of a particular function
• Genetic diseases that are out of the scope of this post. However, manifestation of some of those diseases can also be triggered by accumulation of waste and toxins. 

Let’s have a closer look at the first two types.

Diseases as a manifestation of an intense cleansing process are the most common. What we call “a disease”, in this instance, is an intense process of elimination of body waste and toxins. When the excretion systems are struggling with daily elimination of this congestion, the body sets into a mode of self-cleanse to prevent intoxication.

The body is preparing itself and tries to accumulate enough energy towards a big cleanse, so one day, it decides to give itself a proper detox. 

Most of acute conditions can be an example of this phenomenon, including colds and flues with increased body temperature, cough and a running nose. This is nothing but an intensified elimination of mucilage that has accumulated in the lungs, broncs, nasolabial areas, throat and sinuses. A cold is an indication that the accumulation of mucilage in those areas became critical and the body reached the limits of its respiratory system, so that there is an urgent need to remove excessive waste.

Interestingly, during a bad cold, the body often increases its temperature. Nature gave our bodies the ability to save up our energy, so the increase of body temperature to 37-38 degrees Celsius or more, consumes enormous amount of energy resources. The body increases its metabolism, and the excretion systems work at their maximum. All this efforts is for maximising the body’s cleansing capacity. 

When it happens, there are two possible outcomes: either the body succeeds to eliminate the waste completely, or the body runs out of energy, cleansing process stops and remains incomplete. In the case of the latter, the symptoms disappear until another attempt to cleanse: once the body saves enough energy to be able to launch another cleansing session.

Another group of diseases is related to the breakdown of a particular body function, caused too by the accumulation of waste and toxins. These diseases happen when body congestion has caused tissue damage and the disruption of some body functions. 

Heart attack is an example of such disease. As we know, heart is a muscle that contracts in order to ensure blood circulation in the vessels. Any muscle needs nutrients, especially if it contracts continuously non-stop throughout life. However, modern diet of an average person results in accumulation of body waste, including on the walls of the blood vessels. 

This type of congestion is not toxic and does not damage the vessels’s walls. It mechanically forms layers on the internal surface of a blood vessel. As a result, the passage inside a vessel narrows, its capacity to accommodate the usual amount of blood reduces, the blood supply to the surrounding tissues becomes insufficient. 

When it happens to the heart muscle, oxygen deficiency causes necrosis of some part of the tissue. The outcome in this case will depend whether the body manages to cope with the damage or not. If it does, the dead part of the tissue will form a scar and the person will recover even if the quality of the heart muscle deteriorates. 

There are many people out there who had multiple heart attacks in the past that resulted in scars on their heart. MRI scans clearly show them. However, there are cases that end up in a less lucky outcome. The statistics tell us that heart disease is the top cause of deaths worldwide in the civilised world. Although, each year, there is an indication that cancer is going to lead the top of the list soon.

Of course, congestion of the body can be caused by other factors that contribute to a disease: quality of water, air, electromagnetic and other radiation, quality of sleep, emotions, mood etc. The list is long, but diet plays the most fundamental role. About 70%- 80% of waste and toxins come from diet. According to Dr Max Gerson, an MD and a founder of a “Migraine” and “Cancer” diets, only 25%-30% of our food should be for pleasure, and the rest – for maintaining healthy functions of the body”.
