            b) Defense reactions of the body’s immunological system (active phase of the disease).

            c)  Secreted  toxins  and  metabolic  waste  products  discharged  into  the  body  by  the
            infecting agent.


            d) Structural changes in the diseased organs and systems.

            Let us now look more closely at how diseases develop in the human organism.

            When  infection  enters  the  body,  the  “intruders”  at  first  are  not  very  numerous,  so
            scarcely elicit any reaction at all on the part of the organism: the latter requires a certain
            concentration of poisons and metabolic waste. Thus, initially, the infection develops
            without  any  response  from  the  human  organism.  This  is  the  so-called  incubation

            period,  the  first  stage  of  the  disease.  It  is  only  after  the  developing  pathogens
            collectively inject a certain level of toxins into the bloodstream that the brain is alerted
            to triggering the body’s defense mechanisms.

            The immune system’s immediate response is to try to destroy the invaders. Its first
            active defense reaction is to increase the bodily temperature. This is because most
                                                                                  o
            pathogens cannot survive a temperature elevation above 39–40 C. Thus, the organism,
            without  knowing  “the  face  of  the  enemy”  delivers  a  thermal  strike  against  the
            aggressor. Therefore, any therapeutic attempt to bring down a rise in temperature is
            totally incorrect – except in the following cases:

                                                                                          o
            a) When the temperature reaches a certain critical level of about 42 C, which is the
            point at which proteins start to coagulate. It is particularly important to prevent the
            coagulation of fibrinogen (a blood protein) and the resultant production of fibrin, i.e.,

            blood clots, which are potentially lethal to the body.

            b) When the body on its own is unable to cope with the temperature elevation.

            In all other instances, an active fever is simply a sign of an intense defense reaction on
            the part of the body.

            Meanwhile,  as  the  pathogens  try  to  recover  from  the  thermal  blow  dealt  by  the

            organism, the latter is busily keeping them under surveillance and starts producing
            antibodies in an attempt to annihilate them. Phagocytes (white blood cells) also rally
            to  the  defense  –  by  absorbing  the  invader  –  killing  themselves  in  the  process  and
            producing a huge concentration of pus, which has an adverse effect on the organism.

            The pathogens start adjusting to the new unhealthy conditions which the organism’s
            survival battle creates for them.


            They start changing – mutating – in order to continue their development any way they
            can. It is, after all, a life and death struggle for them as well. Failure to adapt spells
            their demise, for the human body represents their needed habitat. Thus, a competition
            unfolds between the organism and the infection: whichever adapts faster will emerge
