What are the 7 Stages of Disease

The Descent into Disease

Stage 1 Enervation

Nerve Energy is so reduced or exhausted that all normal bodily functions are greatly impaired, especially the elimination of endogenous and exogenous poisons.  Stage 1 thus begins the progressive and chronic process of “Toxemia Toleration” that continues through all the following stages.  The Toxic Sufferer does not feel his “normal self.” He feels either stimulated or depressed by the poisonous overload. 

Stage 2 Toxemia

Nerve Energy is too low to eliminate metabolic wastes and ingested poisons.  These toxic substances begin to saturate first the bloodstream and lymphatic fluids and then the cells themselves.  The Toxic Sufferer feels inordinately tired, run-down, and “out of it.”

Stage 3 Irritation

Toxic build up within the blood and lymph and tissues continues.  The cells/tissues where build-up occurs are irritated by the toxic nature of the waste, resulting in a low-grade inflammation.  The Toxic Sufferer can feel exhausted, queasy, irritable, itchy – even irrational and hostile. 

Stage 4 Inflammation

The low-grade, chronic inflammation from Stage Three is leading to the death of cells.  An area or organ where toxicants have amassed next becomes fully inflamed.  The Toxic Sufferer experiences actual pain, along with the pathological symptoms at this point. 

Stage 5 Ulceration

Tissues are destroyed.  The body ulcerates, forming an outlet for the poisonous build-up.  The Toxic Sufferer experiences a multiplication and worsening of symptoms while the pain intensifies.

Stage 6 Induration

Induration is the result of long-standing, chronic inflammation with bouts of acute inflammation interspersed.  The chronic inflammation causes an impairment or sluggishness of circulation: and because some cells succumb, they are replaced with scar tissue.  This is the way we lose good, normal-functioning cells – by chronic inflammation and death of cells.  Toxins may or may not be encapsulated in a tumor, sac, wen, or polyp.  The Toxic Sufferer endures even more physical pain, which intensified by the emotional distress of realizing that he is only getting worse, regardless of his earnest, obedient, even heroic attempts to get well.   (induration means hardening or scarring of tissues.)

Stage 7 Irreversible Degeneration and/or Fungation (Cancer)

Cellular integrity is destroyed through their disorganization and/or cancerous proliferation.  Tissues, organs, and whole systems lose their ability to function normally.  Biochemical and morphological changes from the depositing of Endogenous and Exogenous Toxins bring about degenerations and death at the cellular level.  The Toxic Sufferer is “a pathological mess”: he is on his deathbed.  Failure of vital organs eventually results in death.
