STAGE 2: ACTIVATE THE DEFENSIVE MECHANISMS. SUPPORT THE BODY’S DEFENCES AND TARGET-DIAGNOSED ”NOXIOUS AGENT” WITH SPECIFIC NON-INVASIVE OR INVASIVE THERAPIES.

This group includes dermatitis, erythema, eczema, stomatitis, rhinitis, herpes zoster, poliomyelitis, neuralgia, pharyngitis, laryngitis, colitis, hepatitis, abscess, osteomyelitis, tonsillitis, and polyarthritis, to name a few.

TARGET SPECIFIC CAUSATIVE ”NOXIOUS AGENT” THAT WAS DISCOVERED DURING ANAMNESIS AND DIAGNOSTICS.

• Chemical substances (glyphosate, PFOA, pesticides, DDT, herbicides)
• Bacteria (streptococci, staphylococci, borrelia, etc.)—most importantly
• Viruses (EBV, VZV, CMV, Influeza, COVID-19, etc.)—the most relevant
• Heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, etc.)

The most common defenses are fever, diarrhea, and inflammation, and with them can come troublesome symptoms. In integrative medicine, symptoms are seen as a serious attempt by the body to get back to stage 1 health. Symptoms, though annoying, become valuable signs that the organism is attempting to regulate toward recovery. Only in rare cases does one need medication for fever, pain, and inflammation. More so, overuse of so-called NSAID drugs can progress the disease to deeper stages. In some cases, they are used, and the dosage has to be chosen carefully.

The therapeutic strategies at this stage are to activate the drainage of organs such as the kidneys, liver, skin, and intestinal mucosa, as well as the drainage of the extracellular matrix, as described elsewhere. We can achieve this by combining Ayurvedic herbal medicine, orthomolecular therapies with either supplements or infusions or both, medicinal saunas, enemas or colon hydrotherapy, homeopathy, and others. When inflammation is prolonged, we need to be wary of reactive oxidative species in layman’s terms. We need to watch out for high levels of antioxidants, based on laboratory results and our experience. Again, dietary review is imperative to ensure adequate hydration and reduce the antigenic load of food.
