Why do doctors just treat symptoms? Why don’t doctors CURE disease?
These are two questions that I had to ponder during my quest to heal myself of over 35 diagnosed diseases and 100 symptoms after doctors did NOTHING to CURE my disease. I asked doctors over and over again what was causing my diseases, but no doctor could give me a straight-shooting answer. All I heard was a definition of my problem, which came in the form of a diagnosis, and then I was told that some body part, age, or genetics was to blame for the action. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that blaming some body part for failure was of NO consequence—Why did the body part fail? THAT is the question! After all, when body parts fail, they are a direct part of us. That means that when something goes wrong on the inside of our body and we begin to suffer with disease, we are responsible for our own suffering. When we choose to go against order, we create disorder.
Pathogenesis is the manner in which a disease originates. The human body is a ordered system. Doctors depend on its order to practice medicine. Without order, surgery would not be effective. The human body operates in an ordered fashion. All of the systems within the body, such as the circulatory, endocrine, and immune systems, operate in an orderly process. Because of this, there must be a sequential operation that causes disease to manifest. But medical science is all about “treating” the symptom, not curing the disease.
I know some will take offense at this and immediately say that their doctor or some drug cured their disease. But what about the hundreds of millions who suffer with heart disease, diabetes, cancer, asthma, insomnia, depression, etc.? No doctor is curing their disease! What about the millions of people who suffer through debilitating cancer treatments, chemo and radiation, only to find themselves stricken with cancer once again? And what about all those who died as a direct result of receiving toxic cancer treatments? How is this considered a cure? It’s not…
I suffered with over 35 diseases and NONE of them were cured—not one—until I found the TRUE CAUSE, or starting point, of my disease, eliminated it, and then true healing began. All doctors wanted to do was to treat my symptoms with drugs, which were prescribed to cover-up the truth, or they wanted to perform surgery when the drugs didn’t work. After all, that’s what doctors are trained to do. To see a partial list of the many diseases that I suffered, click here. Eventually, doctors wanted to pin yet another diagnosis to my chest—multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and Lou Gehrig’s disease were kicked around.
For disease to originate, something is being done to the body that causes the disorder to begin. Disorder does not arrive out of nothingness—it can’t. For disorder to occur, order must have been present at some point in time. You can read more about this in my new book, WARNINGS of Disease: Your Body Uses Symptoms to Communicate.
Did you know that your body communicates with symptoms? Each and every symptom that you suffer is a message from your body. Its trying to tell you something! Every time you do something wrong, in other words when you go against your ordered design, your body immediately goes into action trying to undo what has been done. It tries to right the wrong. And when initial symptoms are ignored or covered up with drugs, the next order of business is for the body to fall into a state of disease. Millions of Americans are suffering with disease because they are ignoring themselves!
Modern medicine goes about blaming body parts for failing, but what it fails to disclose is that when body parts fail—we are responsible. Some inappropriate thing done to the body results in disorder.
What are some of the disorder-causing actions that result in disease? TOXINS—toxins cause disease. When toxins are put into the body, they cause disorder. Why? TOXINS are POISON. They cause injury or death. Poison kills by rapid action even in small quantities. But here’s something to know—toxins don’t always cause immediate death to the whole body, the person. Poison may cause death to the cell. From a cellular perspective, every organ in our body consists of cells. That means that the death or injury, which occurs from consuming TOXINS, begins at the cell level and works its way up.
So, how is the body exposed to deadly toxins? Junk food, drugs, and everyday products are filled with them! Every time you eat junk food and drink artificially-flavored beverages, they are filled with toxic chemicals. Every time you take drugs, they are filled with toxic synthetic chemicals. Every time you use everyday household cleaning products and personal hygiene products, they are filled with poisonous chemicals. Is it any wonder that so many people are so sick and diseased?
I cured myself, without doctors, of over 35 diagnosed diseases and 100 symptoms. EVERY symptom and disease went away after I changed my lifestyle and eating habits. I hope you will read my new book.
New Year’s resolutions have come and gone. The time to get ripped and look good in that new swimsuit for summer has faded away. Now, people are just hoping to lose some weight before the holidays rapidly approach and they pack on the pounds all over again. Holiday eating is the standard excuse for weight gain. Obesity rates have now surpassed the 65% mark. It’s being reported that obesity may rise to a staggering 85% in less than ten years time.
Churches are filled with prayer requests for the sick and dying. Heart disease is the Number One Killer in America. One in every three families is touched by the ravages of cancer. Some studies report that the average patient now takes eleven medications. Drug use is out of control, so is disease and obesity.
But does anyone ever stop to ask – WHY?
After suffering with over 100 symptoms and 35 diagnosed diseases, and a proffered diagnosis of either multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, or Lou Gehrig’s disease, that’s exactly what I did. I asked – WHY? Why was I sick and dying? Why was I overweight? However, doctors were unable to answer my questions. This got me to thinking – did anyone really know the answers?
So I set out to find the answers for myself. And did I ever find them! By changing my diet and lifestyle habits, I was cured of all disease and lost over sixty pounds without even trying. I have been perfectly healthy for the past fifteen years and take no drugs.
In 2009, I took a hiatus from my work as a Forensic Document Examiner and Handwriting Expert to complete the manuscript and bring this book to print. The book includes my personal story of healing along with fifteen years of scientific research. What I found was that you don’t have to be filled with disease and you definitely don’t have to be fat. Each person can choose to be healthy or not.
My personal mission for writing WARNINGS of Disease is to help people realize that artificial food additives and toxic chemicals, including those found in drugs and everyday products, are responsible for causing sickness and disease, with obesity being the end-product of consumption.
Millions of people are searching for the answer—what is pain?—because untold millions are suffering in pain. Pain relievers are the number one drug sold in America. Today’s Google search for “What is pain?” produced 776,000,000 results.
If you read my last blog post on word studies, I defined the word SYMPTOM. Today, let’s look at the word PAIN.
PAIN is physical suffering or discomfort caused by illness or injury. Pain comes from the Latin word poena ‘penalty.’ Penalty is another word worthy of consideration and we’ll look at it in just a minute.
Synonyms for PAIN include suffering, affliction, and torment. Lengthy word studies on the origin of each of these words begins to paint a picture—pain is something that we give birth to, and it is the product of our labors, or fruits of our action. In other words, we ourselves, are responsible for our own pain. What?
This is where most people will immediately begin to make excuses for themselves: “I have a disease that causes my pain.” “I had an accident or injury 20 years ago and I’m still suffering in pain.” “I have no control over my headaches.” “I didn’t ask for fibromyalgia, it just happened to me.” “My pain is caused by multiple sclerosis.” And so on. But notice the main subject in each of those statements “I, my, and me.”
In my new book WARNINGS of Disease, I discuss the word pathogen. Science defines pathogen as a bacterium, virus, or other microorganism that can cause disease. However, the Greek roots of the word PATHOGEN are pathos ‘suffering, passion’ and gignomai ‘I give birth to.’ From a medical perspective, a pathogen is thought to be a germ that causes disease to the host, but from the Greek roots of the word we find a rather different explanation.
Pathogen means that not only are we capable of giving birth to passion (love), we are also responsible for giving birth to suffering (our afflictions). Since both infection and acquired disease begin on the inside of our body and work their way out, it might be concluded that we are responsible for our own suffering.
Now let’s look at the word PENALTY. Synonyms include punishment, punitive action (disciplinary correction), and retribution—punishment that is considered to be morally right and fully deserved. A penalty is punishment that is imposed for breaking a law, rule, or contract.
What we see here is that PAIN is the PENALTY for wrongful action—the breaking of rules. As mentioned, we are responsible for our pain! But whose rules are we breaking in order to suffer the penalty that results in pain—that is the question? They [the rules] are the one’s of the universe, the laws of order—the body of divine commandment, otherwise known as God. When we choose to go against order, what God ordained, we create and cause disorder. Once I came to understand this very important truth, I was then able to look for, and find, the exact cause of my 35 diagnosed diseases, along with MS, Parkinson’s, or Lou Gehrig’s disease being the suspected culprit for my 36th affliction.
But what is an AFFLICTION? Affliction is a disorder, disease, or illness that results in pain, suffering, and torment. Seems like we’ve seen these words before! When we suffer with PAIN, whether it is from an illness, disease, or disorder—”I give birth to suffering (my afflictions)” becomes the main subject matter once again.
Once I established that I was responsible for my own PAIN (suffering), the healing process was initiated. Since I no longer had anything to blame for my pain other than myself, I was no longer able to produce excuses for it (my pain). And one thing that I have learned during my lifetime—excuses are futile and pointless!
This meant that I had to look deep within to find the real reason for my PAIN. Again, notice the subject matter—I and my—it was my pain and I was to blame.
According to science, PAIN is caused by illness or injury. So why do people live in pain for 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 years? By all rights, an illness lasts for a period of time and the body is then healed. If not, death is the probable outcome. But if an injury never heals, death is most assuredly imminent.
I used to live in PAIN 24/7. Each pain that I bore was judged by doctors (Man) and was given a name to blame, otherwise known as a diagnosis. Keep in mind that “to bear” means to give birth to…
But after I did a word study on diagnosis, I learned what a diagnosis truly is. It is nothing more than the identification of the nature of an illness or problem by characterizing the symptoms. In other words, a diagnosis is just a definition. And when a diagnosis is rendered, it is nothing more than a judgment of Man, an opinion. More importantly, an opinion is not necessarily based on fact. But I wanted to get to the bottom of my infirmities—I wanted the truth!
When I accepted Man’s judgment every time I experienced pain, I blamed the name that was given to it. But what did that get me? I was still in PAIN and I was still suffering. Doctors diagnosed my afflictions. Doctors gave me drugs. Doctors performed surgeries. But I was still in PAIN! So that meant that a piece of the puzzle was still missing.
As a Forensic Document Examiner, I love to solve puzzles! So I got to work. What pieces did I have to work with?
- I was in PAIN.
- I was sick, diseased, and miserable.
- I was overweight.
- Through pathos and gignomai, I learned that I was continually giving birth to my afflictions through my actions.
- I was suffering with some type of illness or injury that by all rights should have healed with time.
- Something that I was doing wrong was causing PAIN in my life.
Then I discovered it! I found the missing piece of the puzzle—something I was putting into my body was causing disorder. After that, I commenced doing 15 years of scientific research to verify what I’d found. I found what causes PAIN. I found what was causing my body’s many afflictions, and I found that it is causing great unrest in millions of others, as well. But through it all what I ultimately found was that the source of my PAIN was me! To be continued…
Back in 1996, doctors suspected that I had either multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s, or Lou Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-ALS). I was sick beyond belief and lived in constant pain. I couldn’t sleep at night, had frequent panic attacks, and suffered with severe heart and neurological problems. And those are just a few of the many symptoms that I had.
Because my symptoms overlapped between MS, Parkinson’s and ALS, one doctor suggested that I be admitted into Shands Teaching Hospital in Gainesville, FL. Perhaps they could get to the bottom of my constant state of dis-ease… But to tell you the truth, I was sick of being sick. I couldn’t take it anymore! My pain and suffering had become unbearable and no drugs or remedial treatment was effective.
But that’s not the point. The point here is that I wanted to know WHY? Why was I sick and diseased? I had already been diagnosed with 35 diseases, wasn’t that enough? Why did doctors want to label me with yet another disease? Why did I have neurological problems and peripheral neuropathy? Why was I so dizzy and losing my balance? There was no way that I could turn my head or eyes quickly to either side because my head would start spinning like a top, I’d get nauseas, and my body would pitch forwards or backwards, or to one side. When I got out of bed in the morning, my body would head off in a different direction than intended, and my feet hurt so bad that I could barely stand the thought of putting them on the ground. I tried every kind of shoe and shoe insert that you can imagine, just so I could relieve some of the foot pain during the day.
Why did I suffer with anxiety attacks? Why did I develop a fear of high places, agoraphobia, and claustrophobia? Why did I have fibromyalgia? Why did my feet, legs, and lower torso lose feeling? Why did my body twitch? Why did my hands, fingers, feet and toes tingle and feel like they were being stuck with pins and needles? And how could they feel numb and heavy at the same time?
Why did it feel like I had bugs crawling under the skin on my legs? Why did my head begin to wobble? Why did I trip and drag a foot when I walked? Why was I losing my ability to grip with my hands? Why was my vision blurry, and why did I get tunnel vision and see flashing halos of lights? Besides suffering with chronic headaches and migraines, why did I develop ocular migraines?
Why did I have to get up five and six times a night to go to the bathroom, even though I really didn’t have to go? Why couldn’t I sleep at night? Even though I was so exhausted, I would go to sleep and wake up zinging within an hour or two and then couldn’t back to sleep for the rest of the night. Why did I feel the need to pace the floors at night? Why would I sit and incessantly rub my legs at night, all the while having to look down at the floor so my head wouldn’t spin? By this point in time, I was suffering with nightly panic attacks.
Why was I in a constant state of brain fog? Why was I having difficulty remembering simple things? It’s like my brain couldn’t process a complete thought. Why had I developed a slurred speech? It was very embarrassing.
Why was I having difficulty swallowing? Whatever I ate, didn’t seem to want to go down. Food would sit like a huge wad in my throat and then I’d begin to panic, thinking that I was going to choke. The simple act of eating caused all sorts of physical pain and symptoms. I had a constant, burning pain in my stomach and on my right side. My liver and kidneys were inflamed. I had chronic digestive and intestinal problems, and I suffered with chronic inflammation and infections. Why?
What caused my heart to go bad — so bad that one doctor suggested a heart valve transplant? I had horrible heart palpitations and arrhythmias. Any exertion would cause shortness of breath and pain in my chest. I was even hospitalized with a suspected heart attack and placed on powerful heart medications.
So these are just some of the 100 symptoms that I suffered. Besides living in constant pain, agony, and perpetual fear, what was most troubling was the fact that doctors couldn’t answer one simple question — WHY? Medical doctors could not provide one single answer to any of the questions that I had. Where’s the science in this? Doctors were more than happy to diagnose my condition, prescribe drugs (over 2 dozen of them), and perform surgery, but forget about telling me what was causing my problem. Why? The only thing that I could ever figure was that they simply didn’t know, or that they didn’t want to know… Medical doctors passed my disorder off as incurable and sent me home, loaded down with drugs, to live the rest of my life in total despair!
Since I was sick of being sick and no doctor could answer any of my questions regarding my failing health, I decided to find the answers for myself. And did I ever find them!
I started out with the word – SYMPTOM. Why? I had lots of them! A symptom is a physical or mental condition of disease, that is particularly apparent to the patient. A symptom is a sign of the existence of something, most often an undesirable situation.
Symptom originates from the Greek words sumptoma ‘chance, symptom,’ and from sumpiptein ‘happen.’ This basically means that symptoms happen, they come about. But when you look at the definition of happen, you’ll see that for something to happen, it is the effect or result of some action or event. This means that something is responsible for symptoms when they occur. There is a direct cause! Bodily organs and systems cannot just go bad for no reason at all. There is a series of events that must take place in order for them to fail. Why is it that medical science overlooks this fact? Most doctors are not concerned with pathogenesis—the starting point of disease.
Synonyms for SYMPTOM include manifestation and sign. A symptom is a warning, a hint, and a clue. A symptom is also an expression and indication of something, it is evidence and proof. But proof of what?
A symptom is the consequence and product of an event. A symptom is a testimony. A symptom is the result of something else. A SYMPTOM is the effect of an action. In other words, something that I was doing was causing my symptoms! By doing a simple word study, I came to realize that my symptoms were a direct testimony of my actions. They were evidence and proof, formal witness, that their existence was a witness of my deeds. Essentially, I was responsible for my acquired symptoms! This includes those symptoms and conditions that are acquired, obtained (earned) within one’s own lifetime.
After gaining an understanding of how symptoms occur, I had to step back and look deep within. I soon came to realize that whenever I suffered symptoms, my body was giving myself a warning, a hint, a clue…
