By Hesh Goldstein In part 1 we talked about acute disease, which is the result of nature’s efforts to eliminate waste matter or poisons from the body to repair injured tissues. If this acute condition is not allowed to run its natural course, or is treated with suppressive methods, like drugs, surgery, vaccines and the like, and is not allowed to fulfill its intended function of elimination, then eventually “chronic disease” will result. In other words, when an organism has a lowered vitality due to the accumulation of waste materials and poisons effecting destruction upon vital parts of the body

By Jonathan Landsman (NaturalHealth365) There is growing consensus – among holistically-minded healthcare providers and conventionally-trained physicians alike – that chronic inflammation is the root cause of chronic disease.

Let’s hear it for the bacteria! Round two. Outsmart the human immune system. This round gets a little more complicated. Borrelia Burgdorferi, that teamed up with other co-infective bacteria (like Bartonella) in round one; developed a strategy to use the human immune system to their advantage. Imagine that! The cytokine response to bacterial infection is so powerful that these parasitic freeloaders have learned to manipulate the host-–cytokine pathway for their own benefit.
