"Anybody who tells you that disease has only one cause, and that drugs and surgery are solution, is DEAD WRONG." Dr. Ward Coleman, N.D.

Unhealthy aging and diseases of body systems (such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, immune dysfunction, etc.) are MULTI-CAUSAL.

Extensive clinical analysis by Four Mountains, Inc. has revealed 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 body/mind which then leads to many secondary, downstream processes. Ignored and uncorrected roots of disease grow in a progressive, snowballing fashion. Like falling dominos, countless symptoms manifest throughout entire body. Treating multitude of superficial symptoms, and ignoring 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 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 millions. From dry cleaners and lawn chemicals to 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 toxins our bodies create as a by-product of work, exercise and STRESS. Over years body's elimination of toxins may be insufficient to deal with 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 nervous system is dominated by stress and classic fight/flight physiology. Volumes of Nobel Prize research stand as testament to 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 hands... it's all same. Free radicals have been subject of extensive research and evidence is clear that oxidative stress won't just rust your pipes, or spoil your food, free radicals do same thing inside our bodies, essentially rusting our organs from 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 outward signs of unhealthy aging.

Primary sources of free radicals: hyper or non-specific stimulation of immune system results in excess concentrations of hypochlorite production, exposure to toxins (xenobiotics) which cause liver and adrenal cortex, reactions that involve cytochrome P450 enzyme reaction system, exposure to radiation either electromagnetic or through ionizing, excessive stress which through neuro-transmitters and modulators force both 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.
