The allopathic medical community has convinced the public that the cause of illness and disease is mysterious and little understood. Factors such as diet, lifestyle, environment and thought patterns are rarely taken into consideration when attempting to determine the cause of illness. To the allopathic doctor, determining a diagnosis is in fact more important than understanding the root cause of an illness. This “medical” model is what created the multi-trillion-dollar pharmaceutical drug industry. The reality of illness and disease is neither mysterious nor difficult to understand.
