Understanding Disease
Cytopathy is the scientific term for a malfunctioning cell. In widespread cytopathy, when large numbers of cells are malfunctioning, disease occurs. In this way, there is only one disease -- cell malfunction. The unifying concept of health and disease is so simple that anyone can understand it, yet it is one that our current medical establishment does not comprehend. They tend to focus on disease as a series of symptoms that must be addressed, and the underlying cause -- cytopathy, is ignored. This focus on symptoms can be thought of as 'symptomology' and it is the basis of Western medicine today. Physicians are taught to look at individual symptoms, neatly categorize them into their disease category, and address the symptoms as just that -- different diseases, ignoring the malfunctioning cells which are the primary cause of each ‘disease'.
Our medical schools teach the philosophy that "Health is the absence of disease," yet they rely on diagnosis of disease when they are practicing medicine. Within that line of thinking, anyone who is not diagnosed with a disease would generally be considered 'healthy.' In reality, health is the state wherein all cells are functioning optimally.
Understanding Cells
There are approximately 75 trillion cells that make up the human body. Within these are hundreds of varieties of specialized cells, each with their own specialized functions. The types of cells that make up your heart differ from those in your brain and eyes, just as the cells of your liver differ from those that line your intestines or make up your bones.
Cells do have certain things in common though. Each cell is encompassed in a membrane, which is like the cell's skin. Its job is to keep toxins out yet let nutrients in, and to keep the necessary substances in while letting the waste be excreted. There are veritable 'powerhouses' within each that provide energy, and cell 'manufacturing plants' which put out things such as hormones and antibodies for your body. They have electrical impulses and communicate effectively with one another. When they do not get what they need, or are harmed by something, their various functions can dissipate.
It is up to us to maintain the health of our cells. We can ensure that we have the adequate intakes of essential fatty acids that make up healthy cell membranes -- omega-3s and omega-6s -- instead of saturated and hydrogenated fats, and trans-fatty acids. We can protect our cells from free radical damage with a diet rich in antioxidants, clean air, food, and water. The sodium-potassium chemical balance within our cells can be helped by lowering our salt intake. Litmus tests can be done regularly to check that the pH level within our cells is slightly alkaline, or around 7.4. And we can maintain our cell's health along each of the six pathways that we make choices on everyday, determining our paths to either health or disease…
