Remove the Insults and Take Care of the Organism for Better Health


by Dr. M.A. “Tony” McRedmond, Jr., DDS T


he term “disease” covers a lot of territory. When things aren’t going right with us biologically, we have disease. I don’t know how many diseases


there are, but my Stedman’s Medical Dictionary includes a list that’s 11 pages long. Not good news. Question is, when we get into a state of disease,


how do we get out? Maybe a better question is, “How do we get into this state of disease in the first place?” This question is often ignored. Why? Because a remedy or treatment of symptoms is generally more profitable than prevention. The fact is, disease is still prevalent, despite


the advances of modern medicine and science. There’s infectious disease, gum disease, cavities from malnutrition, degenerative disease, genetic


disease and mental disease. Last, but not least, there is environmental disease—diseases caused by the poisons and toxins in our environment. Primitive societies did not have much degenerative disease. They died of infections and accidents. We thought antibiotics would cure the problem of infections, and they did for awhile, but that’s no longer true. Instead, we now have “super bugs.” The reasons for that are long and complex, but the super bugs are here to stay.


What do we do about


disease? Years ago, I posed this question to a very prominent physician. His answer was that there are only two things you can do. Number 1 is remove the insult, and Number 2 is support the organism. That answer is still true today. How do we


remove the insult and support the organism (the organism being our own body)?
