Homotoxicology was developed by Dr. Reckeweg and explains disease progression from excretion to degeneration. From this understanding of disease you can understand how disease progresses in the body and how to shift the body back to health. This also explains how diseases progress if we keep suppressing them and how do we move from disease to health.
- Excretion Phase: Body’s attempt to get rid of toxins by vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, sneezing, runny nose. If these mechanisms of ridding the body of toxins are stopped or suppressed then these toxins move deeper into the body.
- Inflammatory Phase: Toxins in the body are harder to get rid of, body produces fever to promote healing.
- Deposition Phase: Toxins stored in connective tissue often with no symptoms.
- Impregnation Phase: Toxins move into the cells. Early stage of symptoms of disease.
- Degeneration Phase: Toxins damage cellular defense, enzyme function, energy production. Severe illness.
- Dedifferentiation Phase: Toxins cause genetic damage, neoplastic state.
When we can move toxic loads out of the body at a deep cellular level, then we can get the body to clean itself up, and move towards optimal health, but we need to do that in a systematic way.
Gaining an understanding of homotoxicology and the evolution of how disease progresses in the body and how to move from degeneration back to health, this is an important aspect of how bio-regulatory medicine works.
