ARTHRITIS AND GOUT – KNOWN CAUSES (INTRODUCTION)
I am fully convinced that many causes work together and put such great stress on the healthy cells that they have to give in; the harmony of their natural life and function becomes so disrupted that they degenerate and become malignant.
Predisposition is often responsible for cell degeneration, that is, it may be due to the inherited genetic make-up. However, such a predisposition need not lead to cancer if one’s life-style is sensible.
An inadequate diet, a constant companion of our modern way of living and eating, upsets the body’s biological balance and so damages the entire cellular system.
Too much protein intake, and of a poor quality, plays a considerable part.
Fats have a bearing on the development of cancer. Animal fats and fats lacking in unsaturated fatty acids are especially detrimental.
Disturbances in the mineral metabolism caused by the consumption of refined foods have proved to be a contributory cause of cell degeneration.
