Five Principle Causes of Illness - A Series of Six Short Articles
These articles, written by Dr. Yu, were originally published in The Healthy Planet newspaper in St. Louis, MO. They are short, easy to read and provide a brief introduction to very important concepts of health and illness from an Alternative Medicine viewpoint. To continue your understanding of the concepts presented here, you are encouraged to 1) attend a monthly discussion presented by Dr. Yu at his office (click on the button for "News & Events" at the left side of this page for details) and 2) read the longer, more in-depth articles below.- Article
1 - Five Principle Causes of Illness
This first article introduces the series and discusses Heavy Metal Toxicities - Article 2 - Food Allergies - Often Overlooked Contributors to Chronic Illness
- Article 3 - Addendum - Food Allergy Symptoms Checklist
- Article 4 - Dental - The Root Cause of Chronic Illness
- Article 5 - Peak Performance Diet
- Article 6 - Parasites - Often Hidden and Undiagnosed
- Article 6 - Planet Earth, Human Ecology, and Environmental Illness
Our illnesses are usually a result of multiple causes, not just a single cause. This concept is illustrated in Article 6 which encompasses the individual causes of illness discussed in the previous articles as well as additional causes. This article also presents an overview of how illness can be related to our environment. Determining the multiplicity of causes, as opposed to simply evaluating symptoms, is part of the reason Dr. Yu uses multiple diagnostic processes (as shown on the "About Our Practice" page) to evaluate each person's individual biological terrain. Multiple causes of illness create the need to use a variety of therapies as also shown on that page.
