Darwinian
Medicine:
Symptoms are an Expression of Adaptation
What
causes the symptoms in the first place?

Standard
medical practices attempt to eradicate the symptoms with drugs and
therapies specific for the symptoms.
In Darwinian or evolutionary medicine, symptoms are recognized to
be the body attempting to treat itself with components at the site of
pain. Muscle proteins in
wasting disorders, and collagen proteins in arthritis and connective
tissue disorders are examples of the body failing to replace the
components it is using to treat itself.
We are erroneously calling these diseases autoimmune disorders:
diseases where the body is attacking itself.
This is backwards to the evolutionary principle of survival of
the fittest and really has no basis in science other than faulty
assumption of scientists. An
innate system of slow suicide would not have stood the rigors of
evolution.
By
reverse engineering, the disease is diagnosed and treated based on how
the body is treating itself. Adipose
depletion and muscle depletion serve as a mechanism to literally
self-medicate the afflicted animal with the adipose and muscle.
This has proven to be the case with the ratite wasting syndromes:
they are attempting to access various muscle components that can be
utilized to bind toxins and hopefully, help restore homeostasis, if the
toxin is removed.
However,
in our environment, the toxins are so pervasive the body is not
succeeding in conquering the offending invader, an inanimate toxin.
By applying Darwinian Medicine, we augment the body’s choice of
self-treatment with more of the same from an outside source, in this
case, the ratite extract. The
application of this system is very broad, encompassing many typically
difficult to treat disease conditions under the standard
symptom-response of allopathic medicine.
Rather than attempting to eradicate the symptoms, Darwinian
Medicine recognizes the symptoms as a useful clue to designing a
treatment based on the body’s choice.
Darwinian
Medicine goes one step farther to find the causative agent that would
produce that specific set of symptoms,
and providing answers to the question:
“What
causes
the symptoms in the first place?”
