THE ROOT CAUSE OF DISEASE by Dr. Ward Coleman, N.D. & President of Four Mountains, Inc.

THE ROOT CAUSE OF DISEASE (PART 1 OF 2)

(see PULLING THE ROOTS OF DISEASE for

the SOLUTION)

"Anybody who tells you that disease has only one cause, and that drugs and

surgery are the solution, is DEAD WRONG." Dr. Ward Coleman, N.D.

Unhealthy aging and diseases of the body systems (such as cancer, heart

disease, diabetes, immune dysfunction, etc.) are MULTI-CAUSAL.

Extensive clinical analysis by Four Mountains, Inc. has revealed the

following TOP TEN "ROOTS OF DISEASE" (and their solutions).

Note that these TOP TEN causes of disease are INTERCONNECTED and manifest

SIMULTANEOUSLY in varying degrees underneath ALL disease of ANY sort.

PROBLEM: THE ROOT CAUSES OF DISEASE: THE TOP TEN

1) Chronic psychological and emotional suffering, pain and stress.

2) Toxemia

3) Autonomic Dysrhythmia

4) Oxidative Stress

5) Killer Food

6) Chronic Dehydration

7) Touch Deprivation

8) Tissue Oxygen Starvation

9) Chronic Inflammation, Lesions and Restrictions

10) Structural Subluxations

Secondary Processes:

Primary, upstream causes have a global effect on the body/mind which then

leads to many secondary, downstream processes. Ignored and uncorrected the

roots of disease grow in a progressive, snowballing fashion. Like falling

dominos, countless symptoms manifest throughout the entire body. Treating

the multitude of superficial symptoms, and ignoring the deeper (upstream)

roots of imbalance is a misdirected, costly and ultimately futile endeavor.

11) Endocrine Dysregulation

12) Immune Dysfunction

13) Inherent Weaknesses

COMMENTARY: THE ROOTS OF DISEASE

1) Chronic psychological and emotional suffering, pain and stress.

At times, everyone experiences mental and emotional turmoil. For many

it's a way of life. Chronic worry, heartache, loss, frustration and pain

take a toll on the nerves and deplete vital force, depress immunity, disrupt

hormones and biorhythms. Childhood stress, relationship stress, job

stress... it all adds up and can take a whopping toll on your health. It's a

fact, stress kills.

2) Toxemia

Ingested toxins, environmental toxins, metabolic toxins... by the

millions. From the dry cleaners and lawn chemicals to the food industry and

'sick building syndrome', we're all exposed to more toxins than we can shake

a stick at. This is in addition to the toxins our bodies create as a

by-product of work, exercise and STRESS. Over the years the body's

elimination of toxins may be insufficient to deal with the load. Disease can

result when excessive poisons accumulate in our cells and block normal

function. Most notably, we find that people suffer with toxic blood, lymph,

intestines, liver, kidneys/bladder, lungs and sinuses.

3) Autonomic Dysrhythmia

Modern culture is 'sympathetic dominant'. This is a serious dysfunction

that is practically ubiquitous, affecting even our household pets. No joke.

Sympathetic dominance is present when the nervous system is dominated by

stress and the classic fight/flight physiology. Volumes of Nobel Prize

research stand as testament to the fact that an overactive sympathetic

nervous system leads to accelerated aging and disease.

4) Oxidative Stress

A rusty nail, a browning apple, age spots on the hands... it's all the

same. Free radicals have been the subject of extensive research and the

evidence is clear that oxidative stress won't just rust your pipes, or spoil

your food, free radicals do the same thing inside our bodies, essentially

rusting our organs from the inside out. Laboratory testing on hundreds of

thousands of individuals has demonstrated that oxidative stress is a very

widespread and creates an internal environment favorable toward illness,

disease and many of the outward signs of unhealthy aging.

Primary sources of free radicals: hyper or non-specific stimulation of

the immune system results in excess concentrations of hypochlorite

production, exposure to toxins (xenobiotics) which cause the liver and the

adrenal cortex, reactions that involve the cytochrome P450 enzyme reaction

system, exposure to radiation either electromagnetic or through ionizing,

excessive stress which through neuro-transmitters and modulators force both

the immune and endocrine systems to produce destructive radicals.

5) Killer Food

How can a nation notorious for overeating protein, carbohydrate and fat

have so many people deficient in vital nutrients? The answer is that we are

eating too many 'empty calories' from foods grown in depleted top soil,

coupled with excessive processing and refining.

Americans, young and old, suffer from multiple trace mineral, macro

mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Most common deficiencies include

magnesium, zinc, iron, selenium, B complex, vitamin C, vitamin E, essential

fatty acids and various amino acids.
