How Does NMT Correct Disease?

Most chronic degenerative diseases result from confusion of the body's immune system in which the immune system can't tell the difference between our "self" tissue, and foreign invaders to the body. The result is that the immune system attacks our own tissue. The "foreign invaders" may be substances that trigger an allergic response, or it may be microorganisms. The particular disease that develops depends on what tissues are targeted by the immune system. If connective tissues are attacked, the result is rheumatoid arthritis, osteoathritis, Sjogren's disease, fibromyalgia and related conditions. If the target tissue is the nervous system it may be multiple sclerosis (MS), ALS, and other degenerative nervous system diseases. If the target is the gastrointestinal system the result may be diseases like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn's disease, etc. Conditions like hypoglycemia, diabetes, hypothyroidism, and adrenal exhaustion can result when the endocrine system is targeted.

These errors of immune system function can happen as a result of various types of allergy, and also from the presence of some types of pathogenic organisms. Organisms known as "stealth pathogens", "nanobacteria", or "cell wall deficient forms" may go unrecognized in the body by the immune system – instead provoking the immune system into a generalized inflammatory response that harms our own tissues. Reprogramming the immune system to recognize these pathogens allows them to be identified and destroyed, and permits these autoimmune conditions to heal.

NMT is also a very rapid and effective way of correcting all allergies – not only those to foods, inhalants, and other external substances; but to body tissues and body chemicals. Allergy is really an error in "tagging" of incoming sensation that tells us we have been exposed to some material. This error provokes the immune system into a defensive response that results in the allergy symptoms we experience. NMT attempts to correct the erroneous "tagging", and thereby stops the allergy behavior. NMT addresses the faulty process at the heart of all allergies – so it is usually much faster, and more effective than methods that require treatment of each allergen.

Similarly, NMT treatment is used to cause the body to recognize external toxins, or chemicals that mimic body hormones, or prevent our enzyme systems to work properly. Toxins such as heavy metals are known to cause many illnesses. NMT treatment instructs the body to purge these harmful substances from the tissues, and eliminate them.
