In 1931 Otto Warburg received the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his ”discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.” In essence, he taught us some basic concepts about cells, how energy is produced, why oxygen is important to cells, and how cancers proliferate. Scientists who study cancer have known for decades [...]

I’m Sorry, But Your Tests Came Back… – Part 6 of 7
Cancer. This word strikes fear in the heart of doctors and patients alike. Unfortunately almost all of us have been impacted by the dreaded fight of cancer by a spouse, relative, or close friend.

Just Falling Apart – Part 5 of 7
The 5th phase of homotoxicology is the degeneration phase. This is where the toxins cause total destruction of the cells. This leads to things like Alzheimer’s, macular degeneration, osteoarthritis, anemia and diabetes. The cell starts to self-destruct. It can’t function, nor can it even survive, with the onslaught of toxins. We’ve talked about the excretion [...]

We’re moving on in our discussion of homotoxicology (how toxins affect humans) and this third phase is the deposition phase. There is where the excess metabolic acids and toxins that are not removed via excretion or reaction phases are deposited in the extracellular component. This is your body’s attempt to sequester these harmful compounds to prevent [...]

Burn It Or Eat It…Your Two Choices – Part 2 of 7
In the first part we discussed phase one of the homotoxicology paradigm that focused on excretion of metabolic acids and toxic by-products. In this article we will discuss the second phase. If the excretory pathways are (A) not working properly, or (B) being overwhelmed, then you will proceed into the next phase which is the [...]

You’re Supposed to Excrete Your Toxins – Part 1 of 7
In this series of blog posts I want to discuss an important underlying concept in wellness. These concepts were adapted from a German physician who identified a number of predictable steps that would occur when a person is “toxic”. This concept is called homotoxicology and is the premise for a lot of work in homeopathy and [...]
