Mitochondrial dysfunction that blocks healing and recovery

Just started to read the work of Robert Naviaux - there is an idea that “virtually all chronic complex diseases are associated with a novel kind of mitochondrial dysfunction that blocks healing and recovery”.

Mitochondria in the body serve two primary purposes. The first is to serve as a powerhouse. The second is to defend the body against environmental threats (viruses, pathogens, toxins, etc.). When mitochondria are in threat mode, they go through three phases before they return to their powerhouse state. In the first stage of the cell danger response (CDR1), cells contain threats and provide damage control. In CDR2, damaged cells are replaced. In CDR3, cells are re-educated and re-integrated in a kind of ‘cellular bootcamp’ to re-establish normal organ function. Completion of all three stages of the CDR is needed for wound healing and recovery from any injury or illness. When a cell gets stuck in one of the CDR modes, chronic illness results. (R1)

This changes how I see things - it’s no longer just eliminating the deficiencies, as many of us are trying to achieve here, but it’s actually convincing mito that the enemy is gone and they can return to normal life. How to do that? That’s a trillion $ question.
