​6 Root Causes of Disease & Health

The root causes of disease and health are NOT: “Adrenal fatigue”        see  4 Myths about Adrenals
  • Thyroid problems      see  Thyroid is a Symptom 
  • Leaky Gut     is not the root cause ,even if you have it
  • Inflammation
  • Autoimmune conditions
  • Any body parts
These are symptoms. 
Body parts are where causes make an impact.

What Defines a Root Cause?
​

Root Causes come from 3 types of things that are:
1) Invading
2) Missing
3) your brain & mind's Responses to Stress

By these criteria there are 6 Root Causes: 

Root Causes Explained


​The 6 possible root causes that may occur in any combination for each individual:
  1. ​ Nutrition  deficiencies contribute to many physical and emotional symptoms.
  2. Toxicity  Everyone has a toxic load with exposure to chemicals, heavy metals, mold, electricity, lights
  3. Infections  of candida, bacteria, parasites. viruses can weaken your digestion, drain energy, manipulate your brain
  4. Misalignments from teeth to toes  can create pain, insomnia, constant stressful feelings, and weak organs.
  5. Emotional issues from early childhood to immediate situations and triggers, and more. Trapped emotions can drain your energy, create pain, and lead to self sabotage. Emotions ​can also be seen in terms of spirituality. 
  6. The Brain's Stress Responses to any of the root causes 
  • The brain unconsciously overreacts to emotional or physical stress often in unperceived ways.
  • This is called being caught in the "flight or fight response" instead of "rest and digest."  
  • An overactive stress response can be referred to as an imbalaned brain, autonomic nervous system dysregulation, dysautonomia,  sympathetic nervous systems overdrive. limbic system overload, amygdala dysfunction, adrenal fatigue, HPA axis problems (hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenals). chemical and environmental sensitivities,  PTSD--post traumatic stress disorder, or a good old fashion nervous breakdown. 
  • ​Stress response problems can be the single biggest obstacle to healing and and individuals root cause, in effect, to treat because it cripples the rest and digest functions needed to address the other root causes. ​​
​

Root Cause Logic 

 
​This list of root causes is meant to be all inclusive and leave out no possibilities.

A root cause has no further cause if you keep asking "Why?"....until more causes cannot be identified.

Root causes originate outside of the body: Nutrients, toxins, infection, or emotional abuse or neglect, and missing developmental processes, physical or emotional  Although  the brain's stress responses to any of these stressors can be seen as an internal cause. The mind can be treated as an internal cause, instead of thinking of ourselves as victims. 

A key physical developmental process is breast feeding in which the tongue expands the upper palate for proper cranial and brain development.  We will refer to this as a "physical misalignment" as a missing developmental process leading to healthy posture and movement.

Body parts are not root causes: like, "adrenal fatigue." You can always ask, "What make an adrenal gland overactive or under active?" and understand that there may be other hormones and the brain signalling it, stressors affecting the brain emotionally or physically, nutrients lacking that make organs weak, not just adrenals, etc. See my page on  Adrenal Fatigue

Another example is inflamed brain stems associated with M.E. Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, another label for chronic fatigue. One can further ask why is there inflammation? Answers could be diet, toxins, infection, emotional stress. etc.

Genetics is not a useful explanation. We now know that genetics and gene expression is constantly shaped by the environment in the short run.
