The First Principle of Healing

"Where you see the problem is not where the problem begins"

Go Upstream to the Root Causes

The Problem is Generic

All chronic degenerative diseases are fundamentally the same. They are symptoms—the "rotten fruit" on the tree—of an underlying systemic failure.

Whether it's called heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, or chronic pain, these are all manifestations of MBFA disease (My Body Is Falling Apart disease).

The Solution is Foundational

The goal is to go upstream to the root causes, not to treat the symptoms downstream. Health is fundamentally simple, even though authorities try to make it seem complicated.

You have more power and control over your body's biochemistry than you've been told. The body's nature is to heal itself when given the right inputs.

The Triangle of Disease

All disease is cell disease, and all cell disease is preceded by dirty blood.

1

The Digestive System

Dirty Blood / Toxicity / Leaky Gut

The Core Mechanism

The intestine is the "soil"—the main portal where the outside world meets the inside world. When the gut barrier is compromised (leaky gut), toxins and undigested particles (like gluten or bacterial components/LPS) sneak into the bloodstream, contaminating the blood.

Why This Must Be Addressed First

If you do not stop the stream of toxicity getting into the blood, nothing can heal. Digestive issues are the precursor to all autoimmune diseases.

Common Contributors

  • Dysbiosis / SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
  • Food sensitivities (especially gluten, processed oils, fried foods)
  • Chronic stress affecting gut-brain axis
  • Lack of digestive enzymes and beneficial bacteria

Solutions

  • Remove inflammatory foods (gluten, fried foods, processed oils)
  • Support with i26 (to address bacteria/SIBO)
  • Repair intestinal lining with Collagen Peptides, Fucoid Z
  • Add digestive enzymes and probiotics (Ultimate Enzymes, Nightly Essence)
2

The Blood Sugar System

Dysglycemia / Hyperinsulinemia / Metabolic Syndrome

The Core Mechanism

The body is often starved of nutrients but simultaneously overwhelmed by sugar, which acts as a major toxin. This leads to systemic inflammation and glycation (sugar damage to connective tissue).

Universal Connection

Chronic degenerative disease is associated with a blood sugar problem. "Treat yourself like a diabetic," regardless of diagnosis.

What Is Metabolic Syndrome?

Metabolic Syndrome is linked to virtually all health issues: high blood pressure, cancer, dementia, autoimmune conditions. It's "everything syndrome" because dysregulated blood sugar affects every cell.

Solutions

  • Eliminate refined sugars and processed carbohydrates
  • Stabilize blood sugar with Sweeties (chromium support)
  • Support mitochondrial function with Ultimate Niacin
  • Adopt ketogenic/paleolithic dietary approach
  • Practice calorie restriction and intermittent fasting
3

The Adrenal-Thyroid Complex

Regulatory Hub / Stress Response / Hormonal Balance

The Core Mechanism

This complex governs metabolism, energy production, and hormonal balance. It's your body's stress management system.

Important Note

To work on thyroid and adrenal health, you must first address the first two points (digestion and blood sugar). The adrenal-thyroid complex often improves naturally when the foundational issues are resolved.

Solutions

  • Practice slow, deep rhythmic breathing to activate parasympathetic nervous system
  • Support with adaptogenic supplements
  • Ensure adequate rest and sleep
  • Address cortisol dysfunction patterns identified through regular assessment

Fighting "Overthinkitis"

Society conditions us to believe we're too dumb to understand our own health. The mainstream medical model often treats names (diagnoses) rather than the underlying chemistry.

Health doesn't have to be complicated. The body breaks down generically—the mechanisms are the same regardless of the disease label.

You can become your own health authority.
