The 6 Root Causes of Disease & Health
Body parts do not cause their own problems and fatigue.
Problems originate from outside the body.
Causes impact body parts and processes where symptoms present.
These are Not Causes:
“Adrenal fatigue” see 4 Myths about Adrenals
Thyroid see Thyroid is a Symptom
Leaky Gut is not the root cause ,even if you have it
Inflammation
Autoimmune conditions.

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

6 Root Causes Defined
The 6 possible root causes that may occur in any combination for each individual
- Nutrition Deficiencies and excesses contribute to many physical and emotional symptoms.
- Toxicity Everyone has a toxic load with exposure to chemicals, metals, mold, electricity, lights.
- Infections of candida, bacteria, parasites, produce toxins and can manipulate your brain
- Misalignment of bone and muscle, from teeth to toes, can create pain, insomnia, constant stress, and weak organs.
- Emotional Trapped emotions and unproductive stress responses can drain your energy.
- Mind: how you make health choices based on what you focus on: symptoms versus causes, parts versus wholes, implementing what you have versus shopping for something new or just not doing what you are supposed to.
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.
Most root causes originate outside of the body:
Nutrients, toxins, infection, or emotional abuse or neglect, and missing developmental processes, physical or emotional.
The mind is counted as from outside the body since it can be wrong and not aligned with the body.
Explanation
Individual cases vary widely. Here are my observations about what is most common.
TOXICITY AND NUTRITION
No matter what root cause was first people with CFS have a toxic load and nutritional deficiencies, excesses, intolerances, or less than optimum sources of food, supplements and sunlight.
Once energy declines for any reason toxic load accumulates.
Everyone is exposed, especially to rapidly increasing electrical pollution in the human environment.
Nutrition is the main solution for detoxification, so deficiencies lower detox capability that gets worse as the liver and kidneys get further overloaded and damaged.
Toxicity is probably the largest root cause and the most denied because it questions conveniences like cell phones and wifi, and because humans are responsible and money is involved. Toxins in agriculture, food processing, medicine and dentistry are some of the biggest, so toxicology is given very narrow bounds in medicine: acute cases, not chronic accumulation.
Toxicity is driving an epidemic of modern diseases. Children are suffering from rapid increases in the 4 As: autism, allergies, asthma, and ADD. Autism among boys is escalating at an alarming rate.
INFECTION
Although infection is generally overestimated as an explanation for CFS, some people need to start by addressing infections in their gut so they can digest their food.
Dental infections can have a big impact on health because they cannot be fully contained by the immune system but require surgery to remove jaw bone infections or root canals.
One type of infection is not externally caused, but is a result of internal imbalances; healthy yeast and bacteria mutate into pathogenic forms under conditions of nutritional deficiencies, toxin induced weaknesses, gut flora imbalance, etc. These cannot simply be killed but require addressing the terrain consisting of the other root cases: nutrition, toxicity, emotions, etc, that strengthen the immune system.
MISALIGNMENT
Muscle aligns bone for posture of the spine, cranium, hips, feet, etc.
Misalignment of the cranium can cause pain, as with TMJ.
It can also contribute to unperceived and subclinical deep stress of ANS.
The two main causes of cranial misalignment are from the bite:
- Underdeveloped palate, evidenced by crooked teeth.
- Short molars, as seen in over and under-bites.
An interesting cause of narrow palates is bottle feeding babies. A child needs the hard sucking of breast feeding in which the tongue presses up on the palate to expand it and the width of the face to make room for teeth and cranial bones. This affects all of posture, breath, and how well you can sleep. Some treatments of bite problems affect pain, digestion and all of health. Holistic orthodontics treats orthopedics of the whole body through posture and nervous system.
The systemic postural problem is the typical S curve that begins with the forward head posture needed to keep the airway open when the palate is narrow. This leads to a sunken chest and forward hips, which also have causes that originate from below from chairs and shoes.
EMOTIONS
Emotional explanations can be a way to blame people in the medical paradigm when the doctor lacks the skill to assess physical causes.
On the other hand, the importance of emotions is often underestimated because it is more subjective and finding the right treatment can be overwhelming while the physical symptoms nag you constantly.
The 2 main benefits of treating emotions are to have a direct effect on energy and also to improve rational decision making about health. Awareness of self-sabotage is important. Emotionally abused people tend to be shattered and scattered, not able to focus on the right things to seize victory. Emotions can be the first cause for many people that dysregulates their nervous system to feel permanently stressed. Then a toxic load may take over as the main cause or biggest obstruction to recovery. It is often best to get physically stabilized first to focus better.
Emotions are closely related to Mind as the conscious aspect related to emotions.
MIND: Health Choices
Mind as a cause does mean that it's all in their heads, which is what people say that blame suffers with chronic fatigue.
Mind is about how decisions are made about health.
Decisions are based on one's paradigm as a set of assumptions for interpreting the world.
Everyone has conscious and unconscious assumptions about the cause of their problem as what a solution LOOKS LIKE even if they don’t know the detail. This how people focus and filter. If their premises are wrong or incomplete, they will continue to fail over and over until they go back and revise basic assumptions.
Paradigms are rarely explained systematically since there are very few good models of paradigms and systems thinking on which it depends, so I created my own. Read the section on my website New Paradigm and see the chart and medical versus holistic paradigm to see how at least 20 assumptions distinguish these.
