Chronic Subclinical Dysfunctions
‘Chronic Subclinical Dysfunctions’ or CSD’s for short is what you are preventing when you live the Wellness Lifestyle.
“But what is a chronic subclinical dysfunction?” You may be asking yourself right now.
Lets break down this term down I have created for the dysfunctional state of Americas health care.
Chronic is defined as:
“Lasting for a long period of time or marked by frequent recurrence”
Subclinical is defined as:
“Not manifesting characteristic symptoms” Yet symptoms are what happens when a dysfunction is occurring…….right? Well let’s continue on with our definition and we will get back to this.
Dysfunction is defined as:
“Abnormal or impaired functioning or regulation, especially of a bodily system or social group”
So a Chronic Subclinical Dysfunction is something that has been reoccurring or lasting for a long time yet has no symptom of an impaired functioning or regulatory system. Wow! So thins means you can have a catastrophic dysfunction occurring right under your nose (so to speak) and not know it until it is to late? That is exactly what I am saying.
Think of this analogy:
Suppose your car takes 5 quarts of oil for optimum performance. If you removed all of the oil your engine would seize and you would be calling a tow truck. This would be very clinical. What if you just removed one quart of oil? If you continue to run your car one quart low on oil for many years it will increase the wear from ‘chronic’ lack of optimum oil. Your car would not drive slower, make funny noises or seize and your oil light would not turn on! In other words your car would not experience a ‘symptom’ of the deficiency it would be ‘subclinical’.
Yet this increase wear and tear on the engine is causing tiny dysfunctions everyday due to the oil not being able to regulate the heat produced from the friction of the pistons. Over time you will need an overhaul of the engine. This is all because ‘optimum’ amounts of a substance were not used; yet you never knew the dysfunction was occurring until catastrophic dysfunction occurred.
I know what you are thinking
“Hello…I am not a car what does this analogy have to due with me?”
Think about coronary artery dysfunctions or better known through the allopathic community as heart disease the number one killer in America, well that is if we remove iatrogenic errors but that is for another talk.
With coronary artery dysfunctions I am unaware of any noticeable symptom you will experience once cholesterol oxidizes and starts to plaque your coronary artery. This process does not happen over night it usually takes years of poor lifestyle choices (which became habits). Infact most patients are unaware they are at risk until crisis care is their only option. Have you ever wondered if cholesterol is the ‘real’ problem then why does it not plaque all of our arteries uniformly? Why does it usually only “stick” to the arteries that are under constant wear and tear like the carotids or the coronary artery? That will be discussed in the micronutrient section in greater detail. Where I will talk about a specific nutrient that is being linked to heart “disease”.
So how do we prevent Chronic Subclinical Dysfunctions? 1st you have to learn the difference between ‘Normal Health’ vs. ‘Optimum Health’
