In this presentation, Dr. Farley discusses the critical role of mitochondria in cellular health, emphasizing their function in energy production and regulation of the cell defense response. He highlights the concept of the “Cell Danger Response,” introduced by Dr. Navarro, which explains how cells get stuck in a defensive mode, impairing their ability to heal and regenerate.

Dr. Farley stresses that the mitochondria and cell membrane—not the nucleus—control cell function. He attributes much of cellular and mitochondrial damage to prescription drugs, even when taken properly, labeling them the leading cause of dysautonomia—a nervous system imbalance. He also discusses how nutrient deficiencies and toxic foods further stress cellular health.

By connecting cell health to the nervous system through the concept of allostatic load, he explains how prolonged cellular stress disrupts the body’s balance, contributing to chronic conditions. Dr. Farley concludes that true health restoration comes from addressing these underlying cellular issues, not from relying on prescription drugs.
