These are the result of lowered resistance or a malfunctioning immune system. The most important question here is “Why”? Why didn’t one’s immune system fight off the cold, flu or infection?
To a large degree, it is not the “germs” (i.e. virus, bacteria, etc.) that caused illness or disease, but rather lowered resistance. There are millions of germs all around, within our bodies and the environment. If “germs” or “something going around” truly caused illness, then everyone that was exposed to it would get sick. Yet, this is simply not the case; some get sick while others do not. The crucial factor is the strength of one’s immune system. The cumulative effect of imbalances among the 8 areas of a holistic approach results in lowered resistance and immunity. Properly addressing these areas usually corrects this problem.
