Nutritional Deficiencies, Free Radicals Often Root Cause Of Common Diseases

Here you’ll find over 45,000 words on nutrition and disease.

Almost all cures that exist today cure bacteria and virus infection. Almost all cures in the future will cure bacteria and virus infection. Thanks to these cures, millions of people throughout the world have been cured of an infection that would have killed them. But each year millions of people lose their lives to nutritional deficiencies and free radicals causing deterioration leading to heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and other diseases. These diseases are forms of degenerative disease. According to the USDA,

“Oxidative stress has been associated with the development of many chronic diseases, including cancer and heart disease. The human body has developed a very delicate system, although not 100% effective, to eliminate free radicals from the body. … Oxidative stress results from free radicals produced during the normal metabolism of oxygen as well as from external sources.”

In the U.S., long-term nutritional deficiencies and free radicals cause hundreds of thousands of people to lose their lives each year to a degenerative disease. Degenerative diseases are not curable, but for most people are preventable, for others at least stoppable, and for many people some degenerative diseases are reversible.

Is It Curable or Is It Reversible?

How can a degenerative disease be reversible but not curable? If the root cause of an illness is something from outside the body coming into the body, such as bacteria, virus, or harmful chemical, then the root cause is an adversary. When an adversary is removed, the substance or method used to remove the adversary is a cure and the body heals much of the damage caused by the adversary. A cure doesn’t heal the body. A cure removes an adversary and therefore stops an adversary from damaging the body; the body heals the damage caused by the adversary.

Degenerative disease is damage caused by deterioration, not by an adversary. The root cause of degenerative disease is the body being unable to heal from normal wear and tear due to long term lack of maintenance of the body, meaning long term lack of nutrients and long term lack of antioxidants for protection from free radicals. “Degenerative disease is reversible” means that the body can heal many but not all types of deterioration if not to severe, if the body is given the nutrients and protection from free radicals it needs to heal. Of course, it’s 100 times easier to prevent degenerative disease than to stop and reverse degenerative disease. With degenerative disease, there’s no adversary to be removed, therefore there’s no adversary to cure (except for cancer).

Another way to look at degenerative disease is to look at dehydration. Dehydration is not thought of as degenerative disease but dehydration causes deterioration damage and, of course, you can quickly die from dehydration. You can’t cure dehydration because nothing will ever remove the need for water throughout life. Just as you can’t cure dehydration, you can’t cure degenerative disease because nothing will ever remove the need for nutrition throughout life nor remove the need for protection from free radicals throughout life. When a degenerative disease is reversed, it’s done by getting sufficient nutrition, avoiding excessive free radicals, and avoiding excess food and food additives (interfere with biochemistry), which gives the body what it needs to protect itself and heal.

Cancer starts out as a disease of deterioration, a degenerative disease, and then creates an adversary; a normal cell deteriorates due to a poor nutritional, low antioxidant environment and to avoid death the deteriorated cell adapts to the poor environment by becoming a simpler cell that has fewer nutritional needs – a cancer cell.

Degenerative disease is often referred to as “chronic disease”. A number of common degenerative diseases are called “lifestyle” diseases. According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (the CDC), “Chronic diseases are among the most prevalent, costly, and preventable of all health problems.”

How Nutritionally Starved Is The U.S.?

In the U.S. diseases caused by long-term nutritional and antioxidant deficiencies cause 8 times more deaths than all other causes of death combined. In other words, 8 times more people lose their lives to a disease they more than likely could have prevented than to all other causes of death combined. The link below leads to a chart of the 10 most common causes of death in the U.S. by gender.

Food excesses require increase nutritional needs and food additives can disrupt normal biochemistry, both of which contribute to development of degenerative disease. For example, excess fat, sugar, and/or protein from eating too much food creates excess free radicals, soda pushes body pH down causing the body to pull calcium and magnesium from bone to raise pH, trans fat lowers HDL, coffee causes a thiamin deficiency and is a diuretic keeping the body weak and dehydrated, drinking high fructose corn syrup (HFC) regularly causes obesity which leads to a number of degenerative diseases. These substances aren’t adversaries but are nutritional antagonists causing nutritional deficiencies and other stresses which cause degenerative disease.
