How Non-toxin-Forming Infections Cause Diseases
Many medical practitioners and scientists have always pondered over how non-toxin-forming micro-organisms cause disease. The fact is that by causing stress, these agents ramp up metabolism, to take care of the stress sequelae(threat; exertion and external damage with consequential, respective autophagy/apoptosis and inflammation; and ultimate repairs) and they use up the host's food resources, to stay alive. Additionally, microbial waste may contribute to the host's metabolic burden. The body responds to foreign intruders, which deprive it of valuable nutrients and cause stress(damage), by fighting back with the immune system, whose function is equally highly energy-demanding. When the immune system is not strong enough, the body's effort to get rid of the microbes is futile and the adaptation acquired by these foreign agents makes them to go into a small cell-wall,'wounded', dormant state within the host cell, and this promotes prolon...
