Does Disease Create Disorganization in the Body
by Dr. Bruce Forciea
All of life has one fundamental thing in common. In fact this one commonality is one
of the most important things that separate the living from the non-living. This one
thing is that life becomes more organized over time. This idea sounds simple but
has far-reaching ramifications. Life began here on Earth as a series of chemical
reactions that eventually evolved to bacteria and one-celled beings. Billions of years
later evolution produced the most complex biological beings on the planet; humans.
This evolution from the simple to the complex will continue for eons to come. It is a
fundamental process of life.
There are thousands of systems in our bodies that work to maintain their biological
complexity and keep us alive. These systems are commonly called homeostatic
mechanisms. They work to maintain a narrow range of values of many substances.
They also work to keep all of the systems in our bodies working together sustaining
our complex bodies. For example, blood pressure is regulated by a myriad of
systems that maintain just the right amount of fluid in our blood, the right amount of
constriction of our arteries and the right heart rate. All of these systems work in
harmony to support our lives. If something goes wrong with one system the others
attempt to correct the problem. If the problem is severe enough the entire system
fails and jeopardizes the body’s health.
If perfect homeostasis means perfect health, then anything interfering with this
perfection would cause a movement away from organization or complexity toward
disorganization. The system no longer works in harmony with the body but now
wreaks havoc with the delicate balance of health. A prime example of this is cancer
cells. Cancerous cells mutate and divide wildly, spreading their disorganization
locally at first, then throughout the rest of the body. This disorganization flies in the
face of homeostasis. It goes against the fundamental process of life.
In fact when we die our bodies join the rest of the universe and become more
disorganized. At death our bodies first reach a state of equilibrium and then begin
their path toward greater disorganization by decaying. The once perfectly balanced
being now slowly dissipates molecule by molecule until all of its atoms become
reabsorbed into the earth.
So what then is the essence of the stuff that sustains us? What is it that supports all of
these homeostatic mechanisms? The answer to this question is a complex one and
encompasses concepts of matter, energy and information. One day we will
understand this not in terms of matter or energy but something even more
fundamental. We will see that at the core of life is the exchange of units of
information. Information is what sustains every system in our bodies, information is
what keeps disorganization at bay.
In my book, Unlocking the Healing Code, I present a system of healing based on this
idea of maintaining the homeostatic systems of the body by infusing sources of
information into these systems.
