Health is simply defined as the ease of flow of items in and out of the body and a balance of all the body’s systems. Disease starts when a stressor or intrusion and causes a disruption in that flow. The ‘ease’ is now ‘dis-ease’. World-renowned endocrinologist Hans Selye explains the flow of disease as beginning with the introduction of some kind of stressor entering the body. This produces the ‘Alarm’ reaction phase, as the body is trying to deal with the incoming stress. Thus the symptom is a sign of the ‘Alarm’ reaction. If we fight this sign or symptom and not the root cause, the natural healing process of our body stops. For example, when a child is exposed to a stress (i.e. bacteria), a symptom presents itself such as a sore throat. The symptom is a sign of ‘dis-ease’ in flow. Now the immune system needs to kick in and help fight the battle – assisting the body in healing itself. If the root cause of this body imbalance in not dealt with, and only the symptoms are suppressed using medications, the stress continues and the body acclimatizes and goes into the ‘Adaptation’ phase. The symptom temporarily goes away, even though the dis-ease progresses deeper. So being symptom free is NOT necessarily a sign of good health, for you could be symptom free and still be declining in health. If the original stressor proceeds without lifestyle changes, the body progresses from the ‘Adaptation’ phase to the ‘Exhaustion’ phase. This is when organs weaken and dysfunction, and after some time the organ will shrink (atrophy) or grow (hypertrophy). Now there is a state of physical dis-ease. By being aware of, understanding, and listening to the messages from our body, early on, we learn to be pro-active and can then assist our body in it’s natural desire to continually heal itself.
