Dr. Bieler discovered that a primary source of toxins comes from the choice of improper foods. Simple things such as stimulants (sugar, salt, caffeine, MSG), overcooked meats, rancid fats, hydrogenated fats, highly processed foods, food additives and preservatives, bad food combinations and even natural foods that are not appropriate for certain people easily load up the body with toxic substances that it has to process.

The Pathology of Toxicity

As Dr. Thomas Sydemham noted in the quotation above, many diseases are nothing more than the body's attempt to rid itself of toxins. And depending on an individual's strengths and weaknesses, the path which the toxins take on their way out of the body determines the disease. For instance in the case of the common cold, the mucous membrane or the "inner skin" of the respiratory tract is the final exit point for the toxins. Thus the common cold is primarily the result of a prexisting toxic condition which has significantly depressed the immune system; and the offending virus, which usually receives all of the blame, is simply the final catalytic factor. In the case of CFS/Fibromyalgia the paths which toxins are exiting the body can be varied and many. This is confirmed by the wide variety of symptoms CFS/Fibromyalgia sufferers often exhibit.

Digestion - The first line of defense against disease

Whatever you put in your mouth has to be broken down and processed by an amazing and complex digestive system. If what you eat is beneficial the system works smoothly. But if what you eat is either toxic, imbalanced or in too large a quantity, your digestive system's defense mechanism will then go into action. Specifically, when offensive foods or substances pass through your stomach and enter the small intestine they will ferment or putrefy. This fermentation / putrefaction in turn creates an abnormal chemistry which produces products that irritate the delicate lining of the bowel. The bowel then tries to either quickly eject the irritating substances which results in diarrhea, or it puts a spastic clamp on the intestines which stops the process and results in constipation.

In this way the small intestine is trying to stop the absorption of unnatural and harmful food elements into the system, thus making it the first line of defense. If harmful elements are repeatedly absorbed over a period of time the delicate intestinal lining first becomes inflamed and is then gradually destroyed. It is at this point that toxic elements begin to overwhelm this line of defense and enter directly into the blood stream.

So when indigestion, gas, bloating, diarrhea or constipation occur it is easy to lament the fact that one does not have a "cast iron" stomach. But given the information above it is perhaps easier to understand that unpleasant digestive reactions may actually be a blessing in disguise. One thing is for certain, these things are definitely a warning. For once toxins begin entering the blood stream a wide range of serious diseases is often the eventual result.

Man is nourished not by the food he eats but only in proportion to what he is able to digest and assimilate - Dr. Henry Bieler

This is a phrase that will become more widely known as more and more research confirms what Dr. Bieler and others have been saying for some time. Namely that when a person's adrenals are severely depleted by emotional and physical stress, stimulants such as salt, sugar and caffine, and by other toxic substances, a serious chronic fatigue will result. This condition most often is not easily nor quickly cured as it is based on a profound deficiency / depletion. Further use of stimulants is not the answer as they do not create energy but instead force the body to use up already stored energy at a faster rate. While a person may feel temporarily better upon taking a stimulating substance, in the long run they are only adding to the chronic fatigue.

Healing Toxicity and Fatigue

Dr. Bieler's time proven cure for healing toxicity and the resulting fatigue was to restore the person through diet and rest. No matter the source of the toxins, he found it possible to promote detoxification and healing with foods. Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, noted this in ancient times when he said, " thy food shall be thy remedy." The easiest and most natural way to do this is to eliminate or reduce offensive foods and substances while supporting the body's detoxifying abilities with a simple diet. Low starch vegetables lightly steamed are key as they contain an abundance of the organic alkaline minerals that the liver requires. Other factors such as proper food combining and when to eat and when not to are also important. These and other specifics are all discussed in detail in The Natural Immune System Diet Book.
