Causes of Illnesses

“If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God… I will put none of these diseases upon thee” (Exodus 15:26).

The Baha’i Scriptures advise us to first “search for the cause of disease” before treating any illness, and explain that there are two causes for sickness: one material, the other spiritual. The principal causes of disease are physical, for the human body is composed of numerous elements in a special equilibrium; if this essential balance is disturbed, disease will supervene.

• Are you tired of continuously treating symptoms with toxic chemicals that have harmful side effects?
• Wouldn’t it make more sense to eliminate the underlying causes of disease with safe foods, herbs, and nutritional supplements that have been used safely and effectively for thousands of years — and then become totally well?

The many possible causes of health problems include:

• Poor diet and nutritional deficiencies — the Standard American Diet consists of foods grown in nutrient-depleted, chemically poisoned soils, then highly processed and denatured.
• Build-up of toxic chemicals throughout the body — pesticides, cleaning products, paint, cosmetics, factory emissions, air pollution, chemicals in processed foods and tap water, anesthesia, and medicinal drugs accumulate and cause numerous health problems.
• Genetically engineered foods — have been associated with allergies, chemical sensitivities, obesity, arthritis, toxic reactions, blood disorders, respiratory problems, diabetes, ADHD, birth defects, nervous-system damage, and cancer. Genetically engineered ingredients are found in about 80% of processed and restaurant foods, and are usually unlabeled.
• Clogged and coated intestinal tract — indigestible substances coat the intestinal tract and prevent the absorption of nutrients.
• Bacterial, viral, and fungal infections — fungi produce poisonous chemicals that can damage any part of the body. Fungal infections can be caused by moldy foods, antibiotics, cleaning products, anesthesia, genetically engineered foods, agricultural chemicals, and airborne mold.
• Glandular malfunctions — can cause allergies, diabetes, hypoglycemia, and thyroid problems.
• Alcohol and tobacco — loaded with toxic chemicals that damage glands, organs, and the immune system.
• Insufficient exercise, fresh air, and morning sunshine — muscles and joints deteriorate and metabolism slows.
• Chronic stress — can damage glands (especially the adrenals) and cause fatigue, allergies, insomnia, and mood swings.
• Malfunctioning digestive, eliminative, and immune systems.
