Disease is due to stress. Whether due to ignorance or laziness, exposing the body to stress will produce a diseased state of the body. Disease is nothing more than the body responding to the wrong we have done to it. It is the body's attempt at keeping us alive in response to the wrongs we have inflicted on our bodies.
Pathological changes are the cell's response to stress.
These tissue changes which result in disease, are the outward manifestation of internal compensation to stress. Until the cause is removed, the condition will remain in one form or another. Medically speaking a symptom is defined as a sign or indication of a disease or illness. It is thought that if the symptom is treated and eradicated, then the disease or illness has been cured. A symptom is the body's effort to stay alive while coping with anything detrimental that has been done or is being done to the body.
