It boils down to people's terrain - miasms (how one eliminates), temperament (how one reacts to daily situations such

as stress, foods, etc), and constitution (DNA - Genetics). Some people are lousy eliminators. Simply put, we eat and crap. So do our cells. We are nothing but cells. It is a microcosmic and macrocosmic system in one. Ultimately, we are what we eat, and we are those things which we surround ourselves with. Due to unhealthy choices made on a consistent basis many people build up toxins in their system. This may come in the form of diet, the physical environment they choose to live in, the emotional turmoil wrought by unhealthy relationships, or whatever the case may be. These are all stored within our body if not dealt with effectively and eliminated in a manner that is in line with the natural physiology of the body. It is the individuals terrain which determines how their imbalances manifest (i.e. what diagnosis they are given). It is the terrain which explains why two people can live the same lifestyle and have a different outcome. To expound on this, it's why one person can live a life of debauchery and look great at age 40 while someone else looks 55. Its why people have drastically different experiences when fasting or doing a detox and depuration whereby one gets headaches, boils, rashes and fatigue while another person has no symptoms.

Miasms Miasms are trans-generational energetic component that determines how you eliminate toxins from your system. It also is how your body protects itself. In other words, when your body encounters anything foreign to it, or encounters a stressor, it responds to protect itself. This is just nature at work. In fact, this is the very nature of disease the body's adaptation to continue survival which is the main objective of any specie here on earth. These miasms go beyond genetics. There is not test which detects them. There is no evidence which satisfies this model of evidence based medicine. However, there are plenty of things which are accepted but not able to be proven. The simple fact that something is not detectable my human engineering does not negate its existence. Despite this fact, this is something that will not be accepted nor considered by modern medicine. Temperament

Temperament is a concept that originated in 400 B.C. with Hippocrates and has since persisted in the philosophy of medicine. It deals with how an individual responds to the social aspects of his or her environment. This can pertain to how a person deals with

stress, how a person responds to certain foods, how a person views themselves. On a deeper level, it deals with who we really are and what we really want in life. A good example of this is the numerous interviews they have done with winners of the lottery. When asked what they did with the money, many of these people wound up doing nothing that they thought they would do. This is because who they thought they were, is not who they really are. There decisions of how to spend their money were ultimately affected by their temperament. Temperament would be more in the line with psychology as it pertains to mainstream medicine. However, it is much more that. . I would call this mind-body medicine as it has profound effects upon the organism. It is absolute key factor in the development of disease, the recurrence of disease, or the inhibiting factor in why a person cant completely improve their medical condition. Constitution Constitution refers to the genetic inheritance of an individual. Meaning, this is their DNA. It is the constitution that determines a persons physiology and biochemical disposition. This constitution, which is genetic in origin, is modifiable by the environment whether it is diet and nutrition or emotional nurturing. This means that an individuals constitution that involves metabolic processes, the overall performance of its functions, how it responds to external stimuli, and how it defends itself against pathogenic organisms are all affected and shaped by the environment. The latest research in this field is called epigenetics. An individuals terrain illustrates why "studies" or "evidence based medicine" has severe limitations. Unfortunately, most of society has been groomed into believing that all truth lies within a peer reviewed journal. Modern medicine, as good as it is in emergent conditions, only looks at one component of an individual and lacks the wholeness which comprises the entire being. This is why identifying who the patient is (their terrain) when treating illness is paramount. Unfortunately, this is not the medicine that is being practiced for chronic illness. However, what is being discussed instead is how to treat symptoms whether it is with pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals. There are many people who are trying to sell products to combat a symptom, yet leaving the cause unaddressed. This is called palliative medicine. And theres nothing wrong with palliation if you are working at discovering the cause of the imbalance. For some people, palliation is all they want. So long as they understand that it is only palliation, then thats their choice; and, for them, its the right choice, because its their choice.
