The underlying cause of most chronic disease is masked by many physical variations. They look different on the surface but are having the same basic set of causes.
Many people including allopathic doctors (western medical doctors) are not aware of this important fact. It is simple if you did not study something chances are you would not be able to practice it properly even if you try. The allopaths therefore treat the symptoms instead of the actual disease. The root of your problem is therefore in the true sense ignored.
People just don’t wake up one morning and get a heart attack or diabetes or cancer or any disease. It takes years of discomfort and bad nutrition and carelessness to get most of these diseases. While the truth may sound bitter it is indeed the bitter truth!
The problem is that many tests in allopathic medicine are able to show two things if you are diseased or if you are not. It does not attempt under normal conditions to show what is really happening to your body in terms of chemical reactions and performance.
If it did then many people would have gone to the allopathic doctor and know why they have been feeling really sick and tired. Instead many of us are sick and tired of being sick and tired. The truth is if all tests come back negative how could they diagnose you with a disease? However, you know best how you really feel. You know that your body is not functioning as it used to function before. What then is really happening to you?
There is a process called the “destructive internal process.” It is a process that our cells experiences when they are not fed properly or fed the wrong type of foods. There are five basic factors that are responsible for diseases in our body. I call them the big five. They are as follows:
There is a process called the “destructive internal process.” It is a process that our cells experiences when they are not fed properly or fed the wrong type of foods. There are five basic factors that are responsible for diseases in our body. I call them the big five. They are as follows:
1 - Inflammation:
This is called “the quiet killer. Inflammation is very important in helping our immune system cope with certain microbes and harmful invaders. It also plays an important part in repair of certain injuries.
Chronic inflammation however is different. This is a silent process that allopathic medicine is unable to detect. It hides from the various frequencies of their radar system. Inflammation may be said to be the chief cause of most degenerative disease.

Here are some tips for reducing chronic inflammation:
- Keep your blood sugar under control. High blood sugar levels are a disaster to your health if even you are not diabetic.
- Get to know the fat that heal and those that harm. There are bad fats and good fats. All fats that fall under the banner of Mono unsaturated Fatty Acids are very good and can help you to repair and heal your condition. It is the number one fighter of belly fat and can reduce your total body’s fat content drastically. We have been brainwashed to believe that fats are not good but it is what is replacing the fats in foods that is being served as ‘reduced fat and fat free,’ is 100 times more dangerous to our health. Get lots of MUFA in your diet you will love yourself more and others will compliment you beyond expectation.
- Carrying excess body fat especially around the mid-section. People who store excess fat in the mid-section have 53% more C-reactive protein than others. The size of your protruding abdomen tells what type of disease you are likely to have now and even in the future. Don’t let your "ego- sorry your bellies swell out!" This could lead to chronic diseases.
- Remember the bad fats make up more than 75% of most people meal on a daily basis. While fish oil, fish and omega is great for you. The ones you may be using could have contaminants beyond your imagination. Do you want to get and look old fast? Then eat the fats that harm the body. The opposite is true of the good fats.
- Feed your ecosystem the right type of food and fats and they will work great. You don’t need laxative. Not only bad food and bad fats cause chronic inflammation which leads to constipation but even many prescription and over the counter drugs. Some of them have over 65% assurance that you will develop intestinal problems which may never heal. Yes it could lead to colon cancer!
2 - Glycation:

Sugar is a promoter of most diseases. Some of the more common ones are diabetes, cancers, heart diseases, Alzheimer’s, metabolic syndrome and many more. In America it is called the “white devil.” Most people eat about 158 pounds each year. This so-called sweet thing sours your system by a process called Glycation. This process slowly but surely deteriorates your health status.
You can prevent this danger to your health by doing the following:
- Use low glycemic index food. Reduce the amount of sugar that you take in your body. While the body lives on sugar you must use the right ones so that life will be prolonged. While none of us will get out of life alive, we want to make certain that we enjoy the best of everything including health while we are in the race of life. High glycemic index foods damage your blood vessels in the most important areas in the body (eyes, mid-section and lower limbs). You pay a high price for these dangerous foods. High GI foods switch on your hunger hormones and make you eat more.
- As you use food with high levels of sugars your body will produce high levels of insulin to assist you in using up these sugars. Another name for insulin is “fat storing hormone.” Now your body will also produce high levels of a dangerous protein called C-peptide. This will triple your risk for colon cancer.
- Get the proper type of vitamins and trace minerals so that your body will utilize them at optimal levels. Some people take vitamins and trace minerals and only clog their system with stones (kidney stones/gallstones etc) and make our sewer system richer in minerals.
- Learn to cook properly. Do not over cook your food. Nutritious dishes can taste quite good if you know how to cook them ( you may want to get of copy of my new book (The Biogenic Secret of Food). Understand how to cook to reduce the aging process and get best of nutrition from what you have available.
3 - Oxidation:
Imagine you are being attacked 10,000 times a day by someone. The same person is doing this to you everyday of your life(at least 0000 times). It is not your spouse! It is free radicals attacking every cell in your body daily. This is a natural process in our body. Luckily our body is programmed to fight back.
Sometimes when there is a malfunction in the system it will not fight back. In order to get the energy from food to do all the things we would like to do our metabolic pathways breakdown the various foods. In the process metabolic waste or free radicals are formed.
Unfortunately with the ‘advancement in civilization,’ and the erection of so many buildings and different extracting and processing plants, our air, water and food reserves are becoming more polluted. To compound the problem, smokers, drug medications, alcohols and even eating the wrong foods contribute to more free radicals. The bottom line is that these free radicals cause a series of cellular damage.
It is not the cholesterol that causes you to get a heart attack or stroke; it is the damaged cholesterol that will cause you problems.
Free radicals will also do the following:
It is not the cholesterol that causes you to get a heart attack or stroke; it is the damaged cholesterol that will cause you problems.
Free radicals will also do the following:
- It attacks the DNA causing cellular mutation. This may even lead to certain types of cancers. You can easily get this problem by using the wrong cooking oil. Many people who eat out are not aware of what they are getting in the food that they are being served. Remember it is your right to ask any restaurant to tell you or even show you what type of oil they are using to cook your food and also how it is being cooked.
- If even you do not have diabetes free radicals can attack the eyes causing macular degeneration and cataracts.
- It can attack the nerve cell in the brain and contribute to getting Alzheimer’s disease.
- It is a great contributor to wrinkles.
- Use lots of anti-oxidant foods. Use foods or supplements containing carotenoids, vitamin C, E, selenium, chromium, zinc, lutein, magnesium and an array of phytonutrients.
- Avoid the ‘free radicals factories” foods. Some foods are your friend some are your enemies. Just as some people may disguise themselves as a friend but is not so too many foods are your enemy but appears to make you feel good only momentarily. Learn to recognize these culprits.
- There are many fats that contain heavy loads of free radicals. Get to know them and avoid them. Stay away from processed, reduced, and fat free foods- they will do a great job of killing you faster.
- Overcooking your food will reduce your lifespan. Understand what temperatures are best for the various foods that you cook. Cooking is and art and in art you must be creative. At the same time you must make certain that you get the best available nutrition. There are methods of cooking foods with anti oxidants that will boost your antioxidant intake by over 450%.
- Understand the process of proper detoxification.
- How many of you have cars? What do you do to maintain great performance in your car? How many times per year do you change the oil and tune up your cars? How many times did you tune up your body in the past two years? I do not mean just going to the doctor and doing a so called executive medical. Many people do these tests only because the have the money to do it. It lifts their ego and makes them feel that all is well. When in fact it may not be good at all.
- Just imagine a doctor will do a complete medical for a man over age 50 and will have no record of a PSA test done for him.
- It is so important to cleanse and detoxify your body that your life and health depends upon it. Let us try understanding a little more about detoxification process. Let us do some simple tests to find out how much free radicals are present in your body.
- Detox regularly and live happily with health and harmony or suffer with disease and live in and despair.
- The average person should detoxify at least twice a year. This means that you will need to be on a disciplined program for a period of 3-4 weeks every six months.
4 - Depletion:
Research has confirmed that the average vegetable or fruit is now having up to 40% less mineral than 50 years ago. Not only our treasury is getting bankrupt but our foods are already nutritionally bankrupted. The end result is that our digestive system is unable to absorb some key nutrients and to compound the problem we take drugs that will deplete these key nutrients.
This depletion will cause discomfort then turns into a disease which will later be called a chronic disease. There are nutrients that are missing from foods that we utilize daily and lack of them can cause from the common cold to AIDS.
Yes we need antioxidants but there is need to be careful about the source of them. Your supplier may be giving you some cheap stuff that will cause more harm to you than good. Know what you put in your stomach. It is important. The highest form of discipline is to control what you put in your external and internal environment- your stomach and in your home and community.

“You can trace every sickness, disease or aliment in the human body to a trace element deficiency.” Dr. Linus Pauling - this man was awarded two Nobel prizes.
His statement was true then and even still remains true today.
The great thing about medical science is that they have discovered many diseases and to date have not been able to cure even the common cold much less for AIDS. There are many foods that contain key minerals to prevent and even cure diseases that may attack this wonderful human body. You have cancer fighting foods, immune supporting foods, food that will prevent and even cure hbp and diabetes or heart diseases. Recently on one of my radio programs I interviewed a man from New Mexico who lost his eyesight in his late sixties and is now driving at the age of 75. All he did was made use of certain foods which helped him to get back his vision.

A cardiologist in the US stopped practicing surgery because his colleague determined that he was too weak to undergo heart surgery and they could not do anything else for him. He visited a naturopathic doctor and was advised to use certain raw foods for two years and he will no longer have diabetes nor heart problems. This he did. But the irony of the whole thing is that he said to himself that if he got cured with just some raw foods then he will no longer use cooked food. Today he is one of the most powerful advocates of natural medicine and holistic practice in the US. He only practice natural medicine and teach people to eat raw foods.
We may not be ready for that type of lifestyle but as soon as we are, our lives will be better than what it is today. I am certain of that.
5 - Toxification:
The sad story is while we have a decrease in nutrients in our foods the levels of toxins in our environments (both internal and external) are raising. The body’s garbage bin is over flowing and causing other parts of our house to get contaminated. Yes our health pays a very high price. Strange, but true most toxins come in our body by way of our food and the chemicals we use. Anything that goes on our skin or touches our body on the outside will eventually find its way inside of us. Some people say if you cannot eat it then do not put it on your skin. If we apply this rule then many of our lovely ladies will loose their wonderful set of make ups.
Of course toxins damage the cells and adversely affect the endocrine system. Yes even the creams and other expensive stuff that we take pride in purchasing has so many toxins beyond our imagination. The range of toxic effects is wide and dangerous to us in the long haul. The thyroid gland is the most suffered gland from toxins. Toxins affects our hormones, damage our cells, causes us to store fat, damage the brain and even promote certain types of cancers. Become conscious of what you need to do to get better health. Do not just settle for being healthy; strive to the level of optimal health.
Try to understand the sources of your foods. It is important to know from where your foods come. You cannot just rely on the groceries. The grocers want profits at any cost. No matter what they may say or how great friends they appear to be with you their ultimate goal is to make a profit at the most economical cost to them.
Many people have spent their healthy life gaining wealth and now they have to spend the wealth in an effort to save their life. They cannot even trade their wealth for their health.
DO YOU WANT TO BE LIKE THAT?

IF NOT THEN DO SOMETHING NOW! “Now is a cure tomorrow is a chronic disease.”
