    No, it's not. I'm talking about internal factors and you keep referring to the cause as being external.

    Think about it, is it possible the body is actually functioning normally?

    I used to have arthritis. Once i changed how i used my body, the arthritis went away. It's a usage problem, like somebody who drives with their foot on the brake and the gas at the same time.

    The body is designed to adapt to change, that isn't a bug. The fact that out of ignorance we cause it to destroy itself is operator error. Or we cause it to add material as in bone spurs. Bone spurs and arthritis are two sides of the same coin.

    No, we need the west as an example.

    Then when the power goes out and the electronics get fried, when the world recovers we'll see that all the americans have died because of their inability to even tell when they need water, or where to find that water. Where exactly do you find splenda or corn syrup in the wild?

    The only problem with your example is that flouride was a toxic chemical that companies needed to pay to have disposed of.

    The other problem is that studies show that only topical application is useful and any internal use is useless and toxic.

    Third, the only thing you gain is the ability to make yourself diabetic without the warning signs of your teeth rotting.

    If you really think fluoridation is in your best interests, you don't understand american companies.

    If you can't tell what chronic high blood sugar feels like, then you probably have it. I can't believe the amount of processed sugars americans consume! ditto with the high blood pressure.

    You clearly lack awareness that western medicine understands pretty much zip about nutrition.

    Why do you think cosmetics is such a big industry? You have products to make your hair look healthy and shiny because your diet doesn't provide the proper nutrients, ditto with your skin. Deodarants to cover up all the toxic stuff your body is attempting to eliminate through your skin because your elimination organs are overloaded. Toothpaste to clean your teeth because your diet rots them etc...

    It's pretty sad when you can't even get diets for pets right and they start inheriting all the western diseases. Pet toothpaste? WTF??

    You do realize that almost all western diseases are due to diet, don't you? Nope, you clearly lack awareness. Wake up!!

    You can't claim that without sufficient data. Ever think that perhaps the people are doing something to cause the autoimmune disorder?

    The question to ask is what is the body trying to accomplish. Be specific, killing the person isn't specific, removing material between joints is better. Why would the body remove material between joints? Why is it that learning yoga and how to move through extension can eliminate things like arthritis?

    One of the travesties of knowledge is seeing physiology and biology books all claiming that muscles do work through contraction. Although it's funny to see people who believe that trying to do things like handstands, so much effort and huffing and puffing going on! When you expand your muscles and joints handstand is an effortless breeze.

    Americans won't understand this until they get rid of all their 'cool' 'individual defining' postures. Nothing uglier than watching american group gymnastics where everybodies posture is different so everything looks uncordinated.

    Seriously?

    Why are americans so attached to gluttony? (and the rest of the 'deadly' sins?).

    Do you really think 'Liberty' and 'Freedom' is being able to kill yourself out of ignorance?

    There's a reason different cultures have different diseases, and a reason why 'western' diseases are spreading to other countries.

    My guess is that everybody that wants a technological solution to monitoring their bodies is because they have no understanding of how their bodies work, and how their bodies 'communicate' to them.

    I hypothesize that it has to do with the big push towards 'objectivity is god' that people have forgotten that their own perceptions and sensations are equally as important.

    Learn enough meditation and body awareness and you can even monitor the pressure in your eyes. The funniest are the people with red faces that don't understand why they have hypertension... life is so funny some times.

    You ever think, that just maybe, the weak deserve to die? Mother nature builds in a safety catch to ensure survival of the fittest and to aid us in evolving, and we'd rather keep our rejects and spread their genes throughout our population.

    First, don't ask any questions. Symptoms do not indicate any underlying problems, and definitely not something under our own control! Heaven forbid! No, everything is out of your control, it isn't your fault, there is nothing in your power you can do.

    Actually, there are other possibilities. You seem to be a disciple of the poorly put together Alpha group.

    See, there's this other possibility, the one that Jesus kept repeating but the church keeps spinning. Jesus is the son of god, and like he tells everybody, we are all the sons of god as well.

    Put that in your pipe and smoke it! As any good ethiopian or rastafarian would do!

    Remember, the kingdom of heaven is IN YOU! Jesus was constantly acknowledging both halves of our existence, the son of man and the son of god. Only the roman catholic church totally corrupts this into the trinity and that which jesus accomplished is out of reach for the average citizen and they are all sinners.

    Not sure how the church can ignore "others will come who will do greater things than I" or the fact that the miracles that Jesus performed had nothing to do with his own faith, but the faith of those around him! What kind of all powerful god (as the romans put it) can't even perform miracles in his home town because people don't believe in him? United we stand. We can create miracles when we all work towards and believe in the same goals.

    I remember trying to familiarize my pregnant cat with a birthing box i built. She wouldn't go near it and just stared at me like an idiot, as if to say "Do i look like i'm in labour now?"

    I gave up after a while, almost resigned to the possibility of birthing goo somewhere inside my closet.

    Days later, when she did go into labour i was napping. She poked me a bit to wake me up, and then walked over to the box and proceeded to have her kittens.

    It was pretty cool, she let me touch her belly and feel the kittens coming out.

    They aren't human, but they aren't simple machines like science has thought for thousands of years. Sure, they can't cut them up and find reasoning and logic in their brains, but then again, you don't really find that in humans either :) Most people operate from conditioned responses, it's what makes them so easy to manipulate. It's the one thing psychopaths learn well, most people are just sheep. Those who actually think and evaluate situations are very rare.
