Tree of Dis-ease

The tree of dis-ease depicts a concept that addressed various issues that the body can experience. First, let’s consider an actual tree. If we want to allow the sun to shine through but a tree is blocking it, what would we do? We could prune the tree to allow more sun to get through while preserving the tree. Keep in mind that pruning has to be repeated to keep the desired effect. Or, we could cut down the tree destroying the roots so the tree can never grow again.

Think of the tree of dis-ease as the tree that does not allow vibrant, optimum health to shine through. Similarly, we have two options. We can prune and re-prune the tree with medicines and procedures allowing some measure of health to shine through. This is the approach of traditional health. Traditional health names the branches and leaves on the tree of dis-ease and then manages them with various pruning protocols.

The second option is to eliminate the whole tree by going after the root causes. Once the root causes are eliminated, vibrant, optimum health can be attained. At Optimum Health, we recognize four main root causes. These are trauma, nutritional deficiency, energy issues and toxins. When these root causes are addressed and eliminated, the body has the ability to heal beautifully.
