90% of degenerate disease is due to weak digestion, poor absorption and assimilation of foods, giving the body too many bad foods to begin with, improperly prepared foods, and constantly exceeding the power of our digestion, constantly exceeding caloric needs, failing to rest our major organs by fasting occasionally, and failing to eliminate everything we eat by having a strong bowel movement each and every day without fail. Add to all of that the many toxins in the environment which we fail to fully cleanse out of ourselves and voila! ill health results.
