Disease Tree
The roots represent the environmental factors that feed your disease.
The soil or constitution is your genetic makeup. The trunk is the cellular environment or lymphatic fluid that surrounds each cell. This cellular environment contains most of the epigenetic (above the gene) influences. Think of it this way: genetics loads the gun, epigenetics pulls the trigger. The branches are the different body systems such as nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive, endocrine (hormones) and musculoskeletal. The leaves are the diseases which are only names and not the causes. Help yourself treat the causes.
The leaves are the diseases and associated symptoms. It is clear from this representation that there are just a few common causes for the many diagnosed diseases. Therefore naming your disease is not nearly as important as finding the root causes that are feeding it. Andrew Taylor Still, the originator of Osteopathy, doctors with a DO degree, said: "To find health should be the object of the doctor, anyone can find disease".
The purpose of this website is to offer you some self help to transform your disease tree into a tree of life blooming with health.
