An Analogy

Lets use another analogy to help you understand.

Imagine you live in a house that never gets cleaned.

Garbage, dirt, old mail, dirty clothes, etc begin to pile

up. First they are in a few places. Over time they are in

more and more places. It may eventually get so bad that

your house looks like a cross between a garbage dump

and a hoarder's home.

Because of this toxic, chaotic environment, you

have more difficulty finding and preparing food. You

also are surrounded by an environment which may

contribute to making you sick. This is what your cells

can become like if the extracellular matrix cannot

consistently clean and maintain itself in a healthy state.
