    Cell Danger Response: Why Healing Gets Stuck

    In this solo episode of The Balancing Point, I continue my series on Cell Danger Response and explain why chronic illness may sometimes reflect a healing process that is never fully completed. We look at how mitochondria shift from energy production into defense mode, why inflammation can persist, and how infections, toxins, nutrient problems, and nervous system dysregulation may keep the body stuck in a prolonged danger state. - - - - - About the Host: John is nationally and internationally known for treating chronic and degenerative health conditions known as "knotty" diseases in Chinese Medicine. He has also written the definitive book, "The Sweet Spot: Increase Longevity Through Innovative Understanding of Blood Chemistry Labs," on advanced functional medicine laboratory analysis.
