(1905-1985). Under this theory, illness is the body’s defense
against toxic substances (homotoxins) that threaten to overwhelm the
the balance and movement of nutrients from the blood to the cells. According to this model, the type
and severity of an illness are determined by the duration and
intensity of toxin loading in relationship to the body’s inherent
capacity for detoxification. When this balance is disrupted, it eventually manifests as
illness which is the body’s attempt to restore a state of biochemical
balance. For Reckeweg, restoring this balance was the ultimate goal
of all medical treatment.
