Dr.Nuzum’s HealingPhilosophy

In other words…

Q: Why does the body break down and

how can health be restored?

Let’s look at the principles that form the Pillars of

Healing

The composition of the body must remain in balance.

Disorder and dysfunction begin with irritation, inflammation, and infection (The Three I’s).

The body will either adapt to, or accommodate, The Three I’s.

The healing process must occur in the following sequence: Stabilize, Detoxify, Fortify.

Diligent maintenance of the healing process is critical.

1Principle 1

The composition of the body must remain in balance.

• The human body can be compared to the soil. Quality soil is composed of water, microbes, and varying levels of elements of the periodic table.

• When the soil has the proper balance of these components, it supports life fully. If one component gets out of balance, however, it can begin to threaten life.

• Our body must have a proper balance of these components as well, or it will not be able to function as designed. Balance within the body can be maintained through properdiet, hydration, and minimizing exposure to toxins.

2Principle 2

Disorder and dysfunction begin with irritation.

Irritation is anything that causes trauma to the body at any level. Examples:

• blunt trauma, such as physical damage to the body

• toxins within the body, such as eating a diet full of processed foods

• harmful chemicals or molds

• stress or an imbalance of components as discussed in principle one

3Principle 3

The body will either adapt or accommodate the Three I’s.

• The natural design of the body is to adapt to harmful situations and overcome them—or heal.

• When the body can adapt and overcome any of the Three I's it becomes stronger and more capable of dealing with a similar situation in the future.

• When the body cannot overcome the situation, it accommodates the irritation and remains chronically inflamed, creating a constant environment ripe for infection and dis-ease.

The body has one of two choices when dealing with irritation, inflammation, or infection: adapt or accommodate.

The only way to eliminate accommodation is to enable the body to resolve the irritation that began the process—and the resolution must occur in a very specific order.

4Principle 4

The healing process must occur in the following sequence: Stabilize, Detoxify, Fortify.

The process for the body to heal disease is no different than to heal any wound.

• When you cut yourself on a rusty nail, the first thing you need to do is stop the bleeding—or stabilize the injury.

• Next, you have to clean dirt and rust out of the wound–or detoxify. A dirty wound will never heal. It can't.

• Finally, you can fortify the healing process by covering the wound, keeping it clean, and applying some antiseptic salve.

Compare this to the process of healing disease in your body.

Last but not least,

You must maintain.

5Principle 5

Diligent maintenance of the healing process is critical.

Your body is always moving toward health or away from it—it is never still.

Once you regain strength and recover from illness:

• Stay on a course of maintenance that will sustain recovery.

• Remember: If you "fall off the horse" and allow irritants to be accommodated, your condition will most likely return.

• You must continue to work to maintain the balance you have (principle 1), in order to sustain the healing you have achieved.

These five principles are the foundation of my belief about healing. I learned many years ago that my job as a physician was not to treat symptoms, but to support the body in its healing process so it can operate as designed. This is the only way to restore health when the body is out of balance.

If this approach resonates with you, I invite you to take action today and begin your journey to health.
