Damaged Health

     We often hear used phrases such as “damaged health” or “damage the health,” but there is nothing as ridiculous as these expressions. The human body is not some substance like glass or pottery. These expressions are used because people do not understand the true aspects of the human body at all. Disease does not destroy the body, rather disease regulates the body. Processes like diarrhea and the feeling of nausea are actually quite satisfactory methods the body uses to expel the toxins that are harmful to health.
