A disease in one part of the body can stress or impair other organs by spreading inflammation, toxins, or disrupting blood, oxygen, and nutrient supply to vital systems. Tap to read the causes!

Weakness, Faintness, and Fatigue

Organ dysfunction does not allow sufficient oxygen or nutrients to reach muscles and tissues. It is causing persistent fatigue and weakness.

Drowsiness or Loss of Consciousness

Increased toxin build-up in the blood, owing to liver or kidney failure. It affects brain functioning and the state of awareness.

Difficulty Concentrating or Confused

The decreased function of the heart, liver, or kidney causes problems with oxygenation or the chemical balance in the brain, which causes problems with memory or confusion.

Loss of Appetite

The inflammation and infection of organs suppress the appetite to save energy and lessen the digestive load.

Nausea and Vomiting

Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort are often warning signs of toxin accumulation and/or decreased liver or kidney function.
