Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg lived and worked in the last century. He received a classical medical education, but did not stop there. During his work, he used homeopathic remedies along with classical methods. As a result, he developed the theory of homotoxicology. There are 6 stages of human disease in this theory. Each stage is characterized by the degree of intoxication of the body. Also, human diseases are considered as a way to remove toxins.
The 6 stages:
1. Excretion. This is the stage of normal human function, when he lives, breathes, drinks, eats and removes the waste products of his metabolism in natural ways: he goes to the toilet, sweats, exhales, etc.
2. Reaction. This condition occurs if the body cannot cope with the removal of toxins and various inflammatory processes occur: angina, arthritis, bronchitis, otitis media, rhinitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, etc. These processes contribute to the elimination of toxins through sweating, diarrhea, vomiting, runny nose, salivation, skin rashes, purulent discharge and burning with fever.
3. Deposit. Homotoxicologists believe that the active suppression of the body's reactions in the 2nd stage leads to the appearance of chronic diseases and the transition of the body to the 3rd stage. Instead of removing toxins, the body must discard them internally. Hence the deposition of salts in the joints, the formation of kidney stones, the deposition of fat, etc. If we continue to interfere with the body during recovery, then we pass a kind of barrier when the accumulation of toxins reaches a certain limit and the state of the body passes to the 4th stage:
4. Saturation. This condition is considered unfavorable and leads to deterioration of a person's metabolic processes and general well-being. It is possible to get out of this situation, but this requires much more effort than in the 3rd stage.
5. Degeneration. This stage is characterized by the destruction of cells and tissues. A person's general condition deteriorates significantly and often leads to stage 6.
6. Tumors. At this stage, the appearance of various neoplasms, mutations in the cells is observed.
Exit from any stage is possible, but the more the condition of the organism is overlooked, the more effort and time must be devoted to return the organism to the 1st stage.
