The key to understanding the nature of infectious illnesses involves, paradoxically an understanding of its counter image, which is cancer.
A lot of bacterial infections do not kill tumors but occur due to the presence of abnormal cell growth. Bacteria release chemicals which were killing the tumours, Dr Lloyd Old (former director of Sloan Kettering Cancer center) describes these chemicals as Tumour Necrosis Factor, a treatment for anticancer for human beings.
All of the major illness in the body’s main mechanism for cleansing itself. Furthermore, whenever doctors have ignored this connection and rejected the therapeutics powers of acute illness, the incidence of chronic disease has occurred.
Although it is true that microorganisms can infect us and make us ill, they can do so only in certain conditions. If we view the body as a kind of soil—or as a Terrain, we can easily grasp that it is large part of our soil or terrain that determines whether or not these infections will grow and flourish.
FISH EXAMPLE
If there is a fish in the pond, and we keep on polluting the pond. The fish will start getting sick because of the dirt, plastic, metals and toxins we are throwing in its pond. But what if we treat the fish by injecting antibiotics and vaccines? The fish will get healthy?
Or if we treat her holistically, and clean her pond, her environment, her terrain she will feel healthy. Her breathing will be healthy, her blood will be full of nutritious powers from the environment it is living in, and it will thrive.
For Adults;
One of the central tenets of anthroposophical medicine & most successful natural healing systems through out the history of mankind is the precept that many diseases occur when an individual becomes too hardened or sclerotic too soon.
We harden naturally and gradually as we age; the percentage of water in tissues decline, our tissues become more elastic. This is a normal & natural part of the life cycle & should not lead to illness, nor be a cause of concern-unless it happens too quickly.
PREMATURE AGING: The process of sclerosis accelerates. The cause are varied. Synthetic vitamin D (added in milk these days) for example, can accelerate soft tissue calcification; consumption of processed vegetable oils can lead to hardening of the arteries & exposure to violence, hatred cynicism in a child can lead to “hardening of the soul”
By cynicism, I mean an inclination to believe that people are motivated purely by self-interest; skepticism. Cynicism is an attitude characterized by a general distrust of the motives of "others". A cynic may have a general lack of faith or hope in people motivated by ambition, desire, greed, gratification, materialism, goals, and opinions that a cynic perceives as vain, unobtainable, or ultimately meaningless and therefore deserving of ridicule or admonishment.
On Physical level, sclerosis seems to manifest subtle changes in our body chemistry, leading to microbial growth. For example, the pH of our blood or saliva may subtly shift & we become more acidic. This then provides the environmental conditions for Strep to proliferate & replace our usual beneficial mouth flora. Or our consumption of antimicrobial fatty acids may be too low, leading to a reduction of healthy bacteria in our bowel. Soon after, we find ourselves with symptoms of gastroenteritis or stomach flu because the terrain in our gut lacks protective factors.
INFLAMMATION: Is our body’s therapeutic response to sclerosis or simply hardening.
The first response is HEAT, fever
2nd response is redness, it occurs as blood is brought in to “cleanse” the affected tissue.
3rd Response is SWELLING as the body brings more lymph & WBCs to the site of inflammation.
Swelling is often accompanied by the production of pus or mucus to remove dead tissue & bacteria from the site.
Finally, we experience PAIN as our consciousness is brought to bear on the phenomenon of inflammation. We encounter pain to make us pay attention.
INFLAMMATION is the body’s cleansing mechanism and the only possible response to sclerosis. Inflammation is the way we bring about balance. Thus our therapies for inflammation and infectious disease should not suppress these conditions but guide them to their natural conclusion, which is the reestablishment of balance. And if we find ourselves getting sick too often, we should make an effort to avoid or eliminate those factors, whether they be physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, that are making us too hardened, too sclerotic. If we suppress our inflammatory response too vigorously, we actually push our biochemical balance more & more toward hardness (sclerotic pole)
This is one reason Suppressive therapies are the main medical model, more and more people have becomes chronically ill.
Anti Histamines only suppress these and cause hinderance in natural detoxification of a body.
Promethzine and Chlorphenamine are 1st generation antihistamines, it works by blocking the H1 Receptors in the CNS. They are sedatives, recently 28 children died in Gambia because of harmful effects of these syrups
