Stage 6. The Dedifferentiation Phase

In the Dedifferentiation Stage, the cells and

tissues have been so badly damaged and are

functioning so poorly that we begin to see changes

to the structure of the cells and tissues. This stage

includes the development of tumors both

malignant and benign, ovarian cysts, uterine

fibroids, cirrhosis of the liver, arthritic damage to

joints, change of the alveoli as seen in emphysema,

and the changes in brain tissue as seen in

Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease to

name just a few.

At this stage, surgery is necessary in certain

cases such as malignant tumors but is not possible

or will not help other problems like Alzheimers,

liver cirrhosis or emphysema. Treatment at this

point is an attempt to slow the degradation of the

tissues as much as possible and to maintain the

cells in as high a level of function as is possible.

This is where people really begin to suffer.
