This essay's theme was inspired by a question asked by a child: 'Why do I get ill?' The question is very interesting, but has no easy answer. This paper discusses a few possible answers to this difficult question. Through the life of a person, from birth to death, there is a "continuum" in the pathological conditions a person may experience. The body, as a whole, suffers deeply any time there is an acute or a chronic condition that is either maltreated or neglected. Chronic and acute diseases in the medical history of a person constitute a rigidly related chain of immune responses in the form of a real "continuum" that at every point in time indicates the end result of this continuum. The idea promoted here is that suppression of diseases, through excess of chemical drugs or other means, many times overwhelms the body's natural defenses and forces the immune system to compromise and start a deeper line of defense, which then constitute the beginning of a new chronic condition. Thus, the original inflammation of an acute condition may continue as a sub-acute inflammatory process on a deeper level. Acute inflammatory conditions must therefore be treated very carefully from their beginnings in childhood in order not to force the immune system to compromise. It is also suggested here that all chronic degenerative conditions have a sub-acute inflammatory character, and that "inflammation" constitutes the main common parameter of all diseases.
“我为什么会生病？”这个问题很有趣，但没有简单的答案。本文探讨了这个难题的一些可能答案。人的一生从出生到死亡，都可能经历身体状况的“连续变化”，无论是急性还是慢性疾病，身体作为一个整体，任何时候受到虐待或忽视都会受到严重影响。一个人在医学史上的慢性和急性疾病构成了一个刚性相关的免疫反应链，以真实的“连续变化”的形式存在，在每个时间点都表明了这种连续变化的最终结果。这里提出的观点是，通过过度使用化学药物或其他手段来抑制疾病，很多时候会超过身体的自然防御能力，迫使免疫系统妥协，并开始更深层次的防御，从而构成新的慢性疾病的开始。因此，急性疾病的原始炎症可能会继续在更深层次上作为亚急性炎症过程存在。因此，急性炎症性疾病必须从儿童时期就非常小心地治疗，以免迫使免疫系统妥协。这里还提出，所有慢性退行性疾病都具有亚急性炎症特征，“炎症”构成了所有疾病的主要共同参数。
