What are some of the underlying causes of disease?

Some of the underlying causes of disease is improper diet, unhealthy habits and environmental factors -- these can cause biological imbalances leading to a weakening of the body's defenses and subsequent breakdown in overall health.

How do I know when I may have a physical or health problem?

Our body tells us early on when there is a problem and we can respond or suppress the symptoms and the message our body is trying to tell us.  You can take ibuprofen, or other drugs to suppress the symptoms and they will help for a short time.  However, unless the underlying problem is corrected, eventually the symptoms will no longer be helped by these drugs and one will need to take stronger and stronger drugs to quiet the body's message.  If the underlying problem is not addressed, the body will begin to break down structurally.  At this time, modern medicine is finally capable of diagnosing that something is really wrong and offer interventions to fix the structure.

How does disease manifest itself?

All disease is one and what medical doctors call diseases are only symptoms of greater underlying problem.  Disease is nothing more than a manifestation of our body trying to correct imbalances.  Imbalances due to faulty nutritional patterns, improper diet/rest, stress and other lifestyle considerations which over time result in a weakening of the body.  By the time disease appears, it is very late in the overall process.
