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.

We have 4 dogs and fleas have been a HUGE problem this year.  We’ve never had a flea problem before and I don’t know how they infiltrated our property.  We’ve had back-to-back mild winters over the past couple of years and I suspect that may be part of the problem.  But Maggie, our Border Collie/Lab mix, Abby, our Bichon Frise, and our two rambunctious young sisters, Zoe and Chloe, Golden Retriever/Lab mixes, are not too happy with the situation.  We’re talking thousands of fleas.  It’s horrible!

We live in the middle of a state forest surrounded by trees, palmettos, and everything wild.  I avoid using chemicals at all costs and actively look for natural solutions to pesky problems.  I don’t want to poison ourselves, our dogs, our water supply, or the environment with toxic chemicals.

Our main problem has always been tick infestations.  But the strange thing is that with the current flea infestation, we haven’t seen any ticks.  I wonder what’s up with that?  Perhaps the two can’t coexist together.  But whatever the case, I don’t know which is worse — fleas or ticks?

I’ve been trying different things on the dogs for fleas.  I’ve tried various holistic flea and tick sprays, and I even tried dusting them and their bedding with diatomaceous earth (DE) , but none of it worked.  The only thing DE succeeded in doing was to kill the plants where the dust settled.

Then, I tried apple cider vinegar.  IT WORKED!  I freely applied it from head to tail, making sure to avoid the dog’s eyes, gently rubbed it in until the fur was fully saturated, and waited a couple of minutes.  To my surprise, apple cider vinegar kills the fleas almost instantly.  I was able to rinse the dead fleas right off the dog.  IT’S AMAZING!

I’ve only discovered this solution in the past couple of weeks.  Next, I’m going to try putting apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle and spraying the dogs to see if it will help repel fleas.  I also wonder if it will work on ticks?  I’ll keep you informed as I learn more.  But if you’re looking for an all-natural treatment for fleas — FULL-STRENGTH APPLE CIDER VINEGAR KILLS FLEAS ON CONTACT.

I’d be interested to hear about what natural ways you have found to kill fleas and ticks.

If you liked this post I hope you’ll check out my new book, WARNINGS of Disease: Your Body Uses Symptoms to Communicate; How Junk Food, Drugs, and Toxic Products Provide It with Plenty to Say.  My book describes how diseases and weight gain begin and what you can do to heal and prevent them.  In it, I share what natural methods I used to heal my body of over 100 symptoms and 35 diagnosed diseases, with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and Lou Gehrig’s disease being the kicked around as the final condemning judgement.  The book is available through DaKeMaNi Publishing and Amazon

There is a chemical used in nearly every manufacturing process worldwide that should be of concern to us all — FORMALDEHYDE.  Formaldehyde is a pungent gas used in many chemical compounds, especially plastics and resins.  When added to water, it’s called formalin — often used in the manufacture of drugs and vaccines.  In 2005, world production was estimated to be 50 billion pounds.  The manufacture of formaldehyde is BIG BUSINESS.

On June 10, 2011, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued their 12th Report on Carcinogens (RoC) from the National Toxicology Program.   The RoC is a science-based, public health document, mandated by Congress.  Formaldehyde is on the list.  Why is this significant?  The RoC identifies toxic agents, substances, compounds, and exposure circumstances that are known or reasonably anticipated to cause cancer in humans.

Some of formaldehyde’s many uses include:  woodworking, cabinet making, glues that bond particle board, plywood, carpeting, sanitary paper products, facial tissue, table napkins, paper towels,  insulation, moulded products, paints, explosives, foams, bath products, baby products, counter tops, veneers, laminates, complex plastic and resin compounds, textiles, sizing, no-iron clothing, in the manufacture of automobiles, as a disinfectant because it kills most bacteria and fungi, in medicine to dry the skin such as wart remover, as a treatment for parasites, toxoid vaccines, urinary tract infection treatments, topical creams, cosmetics, personal hygiene products, shampoo, embalming agents, as a fixative for microscopy and histology, and the list goes on…

Have you ever suffered with any of these symptoms?

  • Eye, nose, and throat irritations (inappropriately reasoned to be caused by the common cold)
  • Headaches
  • Skin rashes or hives
  • Burnt esophagus
  • Burnt stomach
  • Hypotension
  • Heart arrhythmia
  • Irregular/difficulty breathing
  • Restlessness
  • Red blood cell destruction
  • Unconsciousness
  • Coma

These are ALL symptoms of FORMALDEHYDE POISONING.  Were you aware that these symptoms can be attributed to formaldehyde exposure, and even worse, that formaldehyde is KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER?  In view of formaldehydes widespread use, this should be of major concern to all people.

As can be expected, when the National Toxicology Program released the 12th RoC, formaldehyde manufacturers were greatly offended.  Perhaps offended isn’t the correct word.  Maybe alarmed might be more appropriate.  After all, the manufacture of formaldehyde is BIG BUSINESS.  Whenever a conglomerate’s mainstay is in question, of course they’re going to be concerned…

Here we see that the American Chemistry Council (ACC) issued a counter-attack, telling us how they think that formaldehyde is just peachy-keen.  But wouldn’t we expect manufacturers to sing the praises of their products?

On the ACC website back in 2011 after the 12th RoC was issued, they called for an immediate appeal of the carcinogen ruling, and even went so far as to say that the manufacture of formaldehyde produces hundreds of thousands of jobs each year — as if that’s supposed to appease the issue?  Well, apparently their appeal was heard by the FDA!  Leave it to the good, old FDA to look out for the welfare of the American people.  Yes, I’m being facetious.  After all, the FDA is BIG BUSINESS, too.

The ACC website has changed since last year after the U.S. Department of HHS issued a NTP Addendum leaving formaldehyde on the known to cause cancer list.  However, the ACC has another site, which they call formaldehydefacts.org, that once again sings the praises of formaldehyde.  But the question remains—whose “facts” can be trusted?  The manufacturer’s? Probably not.

I recently noticed increased lobbying efforts and large presidential campaign donations have been  bouncing around and flying under the radar this summer.  In fact, the FDA ruled earlier this year on Bisphenol A (BPA), which contain formaldehyde, as, how shall we say — safe — by stating, “The Food and Drug Administration’s assessment is that the scientific evidence at this time does not suggest that the very low levels of human exposure to BPA through the diet are unsafe.”   Really?  Not enough evidence?  Suggests?  Very low levels?  At this time?  Exactly whose data is the FDA reviewing?  The RoC is issued by a government organization based on science-based fact.  The FDA’s statement was proudly displayed on the ACCs website devoted to “their” facts about BPA.  Again, wouldn’t we expect a manufacturer to say their products are safe?  But just saying it doesn’t necessarily make it so!  Wouldn’t you think that the FDA would understand this simple truth?

In the meantime, Johnson & Johnson, which makes a wide range of personal care products including many baby products, announced that it would remove a host of harmful chemicals (including formaldehyde) from their product line by 2015.  They had “already pledged to remove certain chemicals from its baby products by 2013,” according to a NY Times article on August 15, 2012.

If BIG BUSINESS pledges to remove toxic chemicals from their products, wouldn’t this imply that there must be something wrong with the toxin?  No matter how many lobbying efforts and campaign contributions are made, the facts are the facts — toxic chemical compounds cause disorder and cancer.

I could go on and on regarding this subject, but I feel a need to close.  Fifteen years ago I suffered with over 35 diagnosed diseases and over 100 debilitating symptoms.  I also suffered with several bad cases of FORMALDEHYDE POISONING.  My experience from debilitating illness and weight gain to good health and natural weight loss are detailed in my new book WARNINGS of Disease: Your Body Uses Symptoms to Communicate; How Junk Food, Drugs, and Toxic Products Provide It with Plenty to Say.  It is available through DaKeMaNi Publishing or on Amazon.

The next time you suffer with ANY of the symptoms listed above, I hope you’ll remember that symptoms do not just happen—they happen for a reason.  The human body communicates through its symptoms whenever the body is exposed to an injury or a toxin.  If you can rule out injury, then exposure to toxic chemicals is the only thing that’s left.  Sometimes, we need to act as detectives to figure out what’s causing our illness by examining all of the clues.  (Another name for clue is warning.)   I changed my lifestyle and eating habits and over 35 diagnosed diseases and 100 symptoms simply went away, and I’ve been healthy ever since.  I listened to what my body was telling me—through its symptoms—and heeded my own warnings…
