Hempress ---- Soaring Hawk 09/10/07 11:37:57 aSoaringHawk There is no Disease There is no Diseaseby Robert O. YoungDisease names like diabetes and osteoporosis are misleading andmisinform patients about disease prevention.There is a curious tendency in conventional medicine to name aset of symptoms a disease. I was recently at a compoundingpharmacy having my bone mineral density measured to updatemy health stats. I spotted a poster touting a new drug forosteoporosis. It was written by a drug company and it said exactlythis: 'Osteoporosis is a disease that causes weak and fragile bones.'Then, the poster went on to say that you need a particular drug tocounteract this 'disease.'Yet the language is all backwards. Osteoporosis isn't a disease thatcauses weak bones, osteoporosis is the name given to a diagnosisof weak bones. In other words, the weak bones are the result ofexcess acidity, and then the diagnosis of osteoporosis followed.The drug poster makes it sound like osteoporosis strikes first, andthen you get weak bones. The cause and effect is all backwards. Andthat's how drug companies want people to think about diseases andsymptoms: first you 'get' the disease, and then you are 'diagnosed'just in time to take a new drug for the rest of your life.But it's all hogwash. There is no such disease as osteoporosis. It's justa made-up name given to a pattern of symptoms that indicate you areover-acid which causes your bones to get fragile.As another example, when a person follows an unhealthy lifestyle thatresults in a symptom such as high blood pressure, that symptom isactually being assumed to be a disease all by itself and it will be givena disease name. What disease? The disease is, of course, 'high bloodpressure.' Doctors throw this phrase around as if it were an actualdisease and not merely descriptive of patient physiology.This may all seem silly, right? But there's actually a very importantpoint to all this.When we look at symptoms and give them disease names, weautomatically distort the selection of available treatments for sucha disease. If the disease is, by itself, high cholesterol, then the curefor the disease must be nothing other than lowering the highcholesterol. And that's how we end up with all thesepharmaceuticals treating high cholesterol in order to 'prevent' thisdisease and lower the levels of LDL cholesterol in the human patient.By lowering only the cholesterol, the doctor can rest assured thathe is, in fact, treating this 'disease,' since the definition of this'disease' is high cholesterol and nothing else.But there is a fatal flaw in this approach to disease treatment: thesymptom is not the cause of the disease. There is another cause,and this deeper cause is routinely ignored by conventional medicine,doctors, drug companies, and even patients.Let's take a closer look at high blood pressure. What actuallycauses high blood pressure? Many doctors would say high bloodpressure is caused by a specific, measurable interaction betweencirculating chemicals in the human body. Thus, the ill-behavedchemical compounds are the cause of the high blood pressure,and therefore the solution is to regulate these chemicals. That'sexactly what pharmaceuticals do -- they attempt to manipulatethe chemicals in the body to adjust the symptoms of high bloodpressure. Thus, they only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.Or take a look at high cholesterol. The conventional medicineapproach says that high cholesterol is caused by a chemicalimbalance in the liver, which is the organ that produces cholesterol.Thus the treatment for high cholesterol is a prescription drug thatinhibits the liver's production of cholesterol (statin drugs). Upontaking these drugs, the high cholesterol (the 'disease') is regulated,but what was causing the liver to overproduce cholesterol in thefirst place? That causative factor remains ignored.The root cause of high cholesterol, as it turns out, is primarilyan over acidic diet. A person who eats foods that are acidic willinevitably cause the body to go into preservation mode andproduce more cholesterol to neutralize the excess acid thusshowing the symptoms of this so-called disease of high cholesterol.Its simple cause and effect. Eat the wrong foods, and you'llproduce too much acid which will cause the body to releasecholesterol from the liver to bind up that acid which can bedetected and diagnosed by conventional medical procedures.You see it is not the cholesterol that is bad it is the acid producingfood we eat that is bad. Reduce the acid producing foods like beef,chicken, pork, dairy, coffee, tea, soda pops, etc and you will reducethe protective cholesterol that is saving your life from excess acidfoods.Yet the root cause of all this is actually poor food choice, not somebizarre behavior by the liver. If the disease were to be accuratelynamed, then, it would be called Acidic Food Choice Disease, orsimply AFCD.AFCD would be a far more accurate name that would make senseto people. If it's an acidic foods choice disease, then it seems thatthe obvious solution to the disease would be to choose foods thataren't so acidic. Of course that may be a bit of simplification sinceyou have to distinguish between healthy alkaline foods and unhealthyacidic foods. But at least the name AFCD gives patients a better ideaof what's actually going on rather than naming the disease after asymptom, such as high cholesterol. You see, the symptom is not thedisease, but conventional medicine insists on calling the symptomthe disease because that way it can treat the symptom and claimsuccess without actually addressing the underlying cause, whichremains a mystery to modern medicine.But let's move on to some other diseases so you get a clearerpicture of how this actually works. Another disease that's causedby poor acidic food choice is diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is thenatural physiological and metabolic result of a person consumingrefined carbohydrates and added sugars in large quantities,undigested proteins from beef, chicken, and pork withoutengaging in regular physical exercise that would compensatefor such dietary practices.The name 'diabetes' is meaningless to the average person. Thedisease should be called Excessive Acid Disease, or EAD. If itwere called Excessive Acid Disease, the solution to it would berather apparent; simply eat less sugar, eliminate all animalproteins, eggs, dairy, drink fewer soft drinks and so on. But ofcourse that would be far too simple for the medical community,so the disease must be given a complex name such as diabetesthat puts its solution out of reach of the average patient.Another disease that is named after its symptom is cancer. Infact, to this day, most doctors and many patients still believethat cancer is a physical thing: a tumor. In reality, a tumor isthe solution of cancer, not its cause. A tumor is simply aphysical manifestation of bound up acidic cells so they do notspoil other healthy cells. The tumor is the solution to cellsdamaged by acids not the problem. The truth is cancer is not acell but an acidic liquid. When a person 'has cancer,' what theyreally have is a latent tissue acidosis. They are absorbing theirown acidic urine. It that would be a far better name for the disease:Latent Tissue Acidosis or LTA.If cancer were actually called Latent Tissue Acidosis, it would seemridiculous to try to cure cancer by cutting out tumors through surgeryand by destroying the immune system with chemotherapy. And yetthese are precisely the most popular treatments for cancer offeredby conventional medicine. These treatments do absolutely nothingto support the patient's immune system and prevent the build up ofacids in the tissues. That's exactly why most people who undergochemotherapy or the removal of tumors through surgicalprocedures end up with yet more cancer a few months or a fewyears later. It's also another reason why survival rates of cancerhave barely budged over the last twenty years. (In other words,conventional medicine's treatments for cancer simply don't work.)The main reason is current medical science wrongly perceives canceras a cell when in reality cancer is an acidic liquid, like lactic acid.This whole situation stems from the fact that the disease ismisnamed. It isn't cancer, it isn't a tumor and it certainly isn't adisease caused by having too strong of an immune system thatneeds to be destroyed through chemotherapy. It is simply latenttissue acidosis. And if it were called latent tissue acidosis diseaseor urine in the tissues, the effective treatment for cancer would beapparent.There are many other diseases that are given misleading namesby western medicine. But if you look around the world and take alook at how diseases are named elsewhere, you will find manycountries have disease names that actually make sense.For example, in Chinese medicine, Alzheimer's disease is givena name that means, when translated, 'feeble mind disease.' InChinese medicine, the name of the disease more accuratelydescribes the actual cause of the disease which is caused byacids or urine on the brain, whereas in western medicine, thename of the disease seems to be intended to obscure the rootcause of the disease, thereby making all diseases sound farmore complex and mysterious than they really are.This is one way in which doctors and practitioners of westernmedicine keep medical treatments out of the reach of the averagecitizen. Because, by God, they sure don't want people thinking forthemselves about the causes of disease!By creating a whole new vocabulary for medical conditions, theycan speak their own secret language and make sure that peoplewho aren't schooled in medicine don't understand what they'resaying.That's a shame, because the treatments and cures for virtually allchronic diseases are actually quite simple and can be described inplain language, such as making different alkaline food choices,getting more natural sunlight, drinking more alkaline water,engaging in regular physical exercise, avoiding specific acidicfoods, supplementing your diet with green foods and greendrinks and alkalizing nutritional supplements and so on.See, western medicine prefers to describe diseases in terms ofchemistry. When you're depressed, you aren't suffering from alack of natural sunlight; you are suffering from a 'brain chemistryimbalance' that can only be regulated, they claim, by ingesting toxicchemicals to alter your brain chemistry. When your bones are brittle,it's not acidic brittle bones disease; it's called osteoporosis,something that sounds very technical and complicated. And to treatit, western doctors and physicians will give you prescriptions forexpensive drugs that somehow claim to make your bones less brittle.But in fact, the real treatment for this can be described in plainlanguage once again: regular physical exercise, vitamin Dsupplementation, mineral supplements that include calcium andstrontium, natural sunlight, and avoidance of acidic foods such assoft drinks, white flour and added sugars.In fact, virtually every disease that's prominent in modern society-- diabetes, cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, clinical depression,irritable bowel syndrome and so on -- can be easily described inplain language without using complex terms at all. These diseasesare simply misnamed. And I believe that they are intentionallymisnamed to put the jargon out of reach of everyday citizens.As a result, there's a great deal of arrogance in the language ofwestern medicine, and this arrogance furthers the language ofseparation. Separation never results in healing. In order to effecthealing, we must bring together the language of healers andpatients using plain language that real people understand and thatreal people can act upon.We need to start describing diseases in terms of their root causes,not in terms of their arcane, biochemical actions. When someonesuffers from seasonal affective disorder or clinical depression,for example, let's call it what it is: Sunlight Deficiency Disorder.To treat it, the person simply needs to get more sunlight. Thisisn't rocket science, it's not complex, and it doesn't require aprescription.If someone is suffering from osteoporosis, let's get realistic aboutthe words we use to describe the condition: it's really Acidic BonesDisease. And it should be treated with things that will enhancebone density, such as nutrition, physical exercise and avoidanceof acidic foods and drinks that strip away bone mass from thehuman body to neutralize the excess acids in the blood and tissues.All of this information, of course, is rather shocking to old-schooldoctors and practitioners of western medicine, and the bigger theiregos are, the more they hate the idea of naming diseases in plainlanguage that patients can actually comprehend. That's because ifthe simple truths about diseases and their causes were known,health would be more readily available to everyday people, andthat would lessen the importance of physicians and medicalresearchers.There's a great deal of ego invested in the medical community,and they sure don't want to make sound health attainable to theaverage person without their expert advice. Doctors all want toserve as the translators of 'truth' and will balk at any attemptsto educate the public to either practice medicine on their own.But in reality, health (and a connection with spirit) is attainableby every single person. Health is easy, it is straightforward, it isdirect and, for the most part, it is available free of charge.A personal connection with our Creator is the same if we askhumbly in prayer for a relationship with Him, and guidance.Don't believe the names of diseases given to you by your doctor.Those names are designed to obscure, not to inform. They aredesigned to separate you from self-healing, not to put you intouch with your own inner healer. And thus, they are nothingmore than bad medicine masquerading as modern medicalpractice. Radiating UNCONDITIONAL LOVE & Truth To ALL who share our circle, our universe, our love, our trust. May I always be found worthy.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 This information is so important for everyone to understand - this is exactly what the medical profession do to people - it just makes them and the patients appear so ignorant and gradually disappears the meaning & implication of disease altogether Jane - Soaring Hawk There is no Diseaseby Robert O.
