The physician's role is to optimize healing through the removal of obstacles, addition of pharmaceuticals, and preservation of natural healing processes. When normal function is disrupted, or environmental changes overcome the body's ability for self-maintenance, disease may ensue. Health is the result of the body's ability to defend itself from disease. Fighting the onslaught of disease is a normal function of the human body. The success of disease depends on intrinsic or extrinsic factors that weaken or overwhelm the body's defense mechanisms.
Wellness is dependent on the proper movement of body fluids.
The body possesses many tubular structures which are responsible for delivering nutrients and removing wastes. When transport of bodily fluids is compromised, poor health or disease may result. This is best exemplified in tissues with inadequate blood flow. These tissues may become inflamed, irritated, atrophic, and potentially die. Nerves play a critical role in controlling body fluids.
