Symptoms as Alarm Signals

In Biological Medicine symptoms of diseases are considered alarm signals that appear as patterns of ¡°regulatory disharmony¡±. Here it is seen that symptoms are the final manifestation of what usually is a long pathological chain of events. The initial causative factors often lie in much deeper dimensions, far removed from the apparent symptom. Symptoms such as allergies, inflammation, pain, headaches, exhaustion, depression, tension, sleeplessness, indigestion and recurrent infections are all signs that the body isn't adapting to its' environment and/or its internal milieu is disturbed. These are classic responses to an overload of drugs, toxic chemicals, pollution, poor quality or "allergy providing" foods, psychoemotional stress and other causative factors.
