THE FOUR PILLARS

Your peak health depends on the proper functioning of all four of your primary body systems: your hormone (endocrine) system, your digestive system, your immune system, and your detoxificationsystem. An imbalance in just one of these systems can lead to an imbalance in the others and cause dysfunction in your body.

Like most people, you might not seek help until the dysfunction shows up as symptoms. Most traditional physicians will see your symptoms and search for a disease; but if the imbalance has not yet resulted in a measurable disease process, the physician can only offer a symptom-related treatment. Unfortunately, this will postpone discovering the underlying imbalance and the root cause of your problem.

At Cornerstone Health Services, rather than taking a symptomatic approach to your diagnosis, we conduct a "Health Audit" of your four pillars of health to determine which system has become compromised. We use three functional tests and possibly a few follow-up tests to discover the root cause of your imbalance and determine how to restore you to peak health quickly and easily.

Your Hormone System – The Director
Your first pillar, your hormone or endocrine system, is comprised of your glands: thyroid, adrenal, ovaries, testes, pituitary, thymus, pancreas, and hypothalamus. Your hypothalamus controls your entire hormone system, receiving feedback on how your hormone levels are meeting the demands placed on your body, and sends directives to your pituitary gland for keeping you healthy. The pituitary relays the orders it receives from the hypothalamus to your other glands, each of which has a role in maintaining your normal body stability (homeostasis) and maintaining your peak health.

Any imbalance in your four systems will cause dysfunction in your body. At Cornerstone Health Services, we conduct a "Health Audit" of your four pillars to discover which system has become compromised so we can find the root cause and determine how to restore you to peak health quickly and easily.

Your Digestive System – The Distributor
Your second pillar of health is your digestive system, which digests (breaks down) and distributes the food that enters your body. It absorbs food by passing it from your intestine into your blood stream, and it assimilates the absorbed food by changing it into the form that your body needs to stay well. Your digestive system must also function properly for the success of diet changes, nutritional supplements, and other treatments that depend upon absorption.

Your Immune System – The Defender
Your third pillar is your immune system, which serves as your first line of defense against any foreign invader and is also an excellent predictor of your overall health. Your body actually has two immune systems: one includes the white blood cells and antibodies found in your blood and lymph fluids; the second is your mucosal immune system – all the moist mucus layers of your body (eyes, nasal passages, throat, digestive tract, etc.), which produce immune cells similar to the blood cells and lymph fluids.

Your Detoxification System – The Controller
The fourth pillar is your detoxification system. It consists primarily of your liver and spleen, but it’s aided also by your skin and digestive system. If your liver becomes impaired or your toxin load gets too high, the excess toxins will circulate through your body and can cause damage to your cells and other systems. Your detoxification system keeps this under control.
