According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 75% of our health care dollars goes to treating chronic diseases. The CDC goes on to say that these persistent conditions are the leading causes of death and disability in our nation. But more importantly, these deaths and lifelong disabilities “could have been prevented.”

The CDC states that the most common chronic diseases include arthritis, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. These chronic conditions are the most costly, and yet preventable diseases of all healthcare problems in the U.S. today.

Chronic means to persist or recur for a long period of time. However, chronic also means “having a particular bad habit.” It is this definition that needs further consideration.

In the medical sense, being diagnosed with a chronic disease labels the sufferer as having an incurable illness. In this case, the irremediable opinion of a medical practitioner determines that the patient’s affliction is impossible to cure or put right. Drugs and surgery are advocated as remedial treatment, while the afflicted is left to contend with their chronic disease for the rest of their life.

The four common causes of chronic disease, defined as “modifiable health risk behaviors” by the CDC, include poor nutrition, lack of physical activity, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption.

This leads us right back to the second definition of chronic—having a particular bad habit. In other words, if we were to eliminate a particular bad habit, then the chronic condition associated with that bad habit will no longer be evident.

Most Americans today understand that excessive alcohol consumption and smoking cigarettes causes cancer and other debilitating diseases. But how many people actually realize that their chronic diseases are also caused by eating junk food and being lazy?

Alcoholics and smokers are encouraged to quit their bad habits in order to regain good health. Why is it that people who eat junk food and fail to exercise are not encouraged to do the same?

That’s exactly what I did back in 1996! I quit eating junk food, I quit drinking artificially flavored drinks, and I quit taking all prescription drugs. I also eliminated the use of toxic chemicals on my body, and I quit using dangerous chemicals in our home. Once I began avoiding all toxic chemicals—in foods, personal hygiene products, and cleaning products—my body healed itself of over 100 symptoms and 35 chronic diseases. Even diagnosed heart disease simply went away.

I’m living proof that if we change “a particular bad habit that recurs over time,” our body no longer needs to suffer with chronic dis-ease. The “particular bad habit” that I removed from my lifestyle was the exposure to toxic chemicals. I eat whole, living foods that are as organic as possible. I drink pure water. I use products that are as close to nature as I can find. And I get exercise. As a result, all chronic disease disappeared and I’ve been healthy ever since.

In my book, Warnings of Disease: Your Body Uses Symptoms to Communicate, I describe what disease is, and how it can be eliminated. I also detail what I did to rid myself of disease. I hope you’ll pick up a copy today. There is no need to suffer any longer. There is hope.

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.

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…

Inflammation is the key to understanding disease.  Inflammation is an attention-getter!  Inflammation is the body’s defense mechanism to ward off poison.  Your body communicates that there is a problem with inflammation.

The human body responds to any toxic substance by producing inflammation.  Many toxins are found in the processed foods that you eat and the every-day products that you use.  After ingesting poison, the body uses five fundamental methods called the Five Cardinal Signs of Inflammation to get your attention—redness, heat, swelling, pain, and loss of function.  These can be loosely defined as:

  • REDNESS = STOP what you’re doing!
  • HEAT = If you don’t STOP, you will get burned!
  • SWELLING = Look, I’m fattening up to get your attention!
  • PAIN = Maybe a little pain will get you to notice!
  • LOSS OF FUNCTION = OK, if you can’t use it, maybe this will work…

The problem is—most people ignore the signs.  Why?  Man has created a crafty way to cover up the truth.  Man’s answer to pain comes in the form of a tiny pill.  Man’s antidote to disease is to drug himself to no avail.  Keep in mind that an antidote is a medicine given to counteract a toxin, a poison.  This means that some toxin is responsible for the symptom that caused the disease.

When pills don’t work, doctors get busy performing surgery to either take out what is bad or to replace what is faulty with a new body part.  That is what doctors are trained to do, isn’t it?  To make matters worse, doctors often label your dysfunction as a psychological problem when conventional treatments don’t work.  This opens up the floodgates to all sorts of psychotherapeutic medications and behavioral therapies.  But do drugs and surgery really circumvent the problem?  Rampant ill health and obesity epidemics say otherwise.  America’s health crisis proves that Man’s ways are not working.

You’ve tried to lose weight…

It’s hard, right?  And even if you do, you end up gaining back every single pound that you lost—PLUS!  Why is this?

You’re sick, tired and depressed…  You’re filled with disease…  Your child has been labeled with a learning disability or some other serious psychological condition…

You’ve been to the doctor—over and over again.  You’re taking all the latest designer drugs.  Medical tests often return “inconclusive” or “within normal limits.”  Or maybe you’ve been diagnosed.  BUT, you’re still taking drugs and you’re still sick, tired and depressed.  Your body is in pain.  You’re still overweight.  Dysfunction has overtaken your life.  Your child is suffering.  All of those drugs and surgeries have not abated the problem one little bit.

Or worse, perhaps your body has succumbed and is now filled with disease.  Asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, insomnia, obesity, learning disabilities, and untold others—they’re all out of control.  Perhaps you’ve been diagnosed with a few diseases, but has the diagnosis done anything to heal your body of the disorder?

  • 65% of all Americans are overweight—Why?
  • 24 million people in the U.S. have diabetes—Why?
  • 38.4 million people have asthma—Why?
  • Heart disease is the leading cause of death in America—Why?
  • One out of every 3 persons develops at least one type of cancer—Why?

The fact is—the answer is being overlooked.  For decades, science has been side-stepping pathogenesis—the true starting point of disease.  During my search for good health and healing, I discovered that if you remove the source of a disorder, the body has the remarkable ability to heal.  If you would like to experience good health and healing in your own life, buy a copy of my new book WARNINGS of Disease now.

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.
