Developing a Medical Condition

Many people develop medical conditions with no

“known” cause or precipitating factors. Medical

problems do not happen for no reason. Something

must damage the cells.

Think of all of the chemicals added to food. Think

about the toxins in the air. Think about all of the

waste products your cells produce. Think of all of the

chemical side effects of modern pharmaceutical drugs.

Now you begin to understand why it is so important

for the extracellular matrix to be able to consistently

clean itself out.

Not only will these waste products and toxins

affect the extracellular matrix but in time they begin to

affect and damage the cells. When this happens, you

develop a disease.

Depending on where this happens (in the

extracellular matrix of a particular tissue or organ) and

where your cells are the weakest determines what type

of medical condition you may develop.
