The Real Cause of Chronic Illness That Almost Nobody Is Talking About

If you are struggling to heal your body from chronic illness, your main problem is probably not a lack of vitamins, toxic chemicals, or creepy microbes like Lyme disease, mold, and parasites.

Everyone’s body is a little different and handles things in its own unique way, but the cold hard truth is that these physical sicknesses are not the actual cause of your suffering—they are just the messy results of something much deeper and more insidious.

 

Here is what is really going on: every single time you spiral into egoic fear, desperately try to control every situation, panic about the unknown future, or let other people’s criticisms and opinions ruin your day, your brain sounds a massive alarm.

 

Your nervous system literally registers that mental stress as a life-threatening, physical attack.

Read that last sentence again. Be honest with yourself. How many times a day do these things happen to you? 

 

You look at social media and instantly feel bad because someone else has a better car, a better body or they are on vacation. The ego measures it’s worth by looking at others. Someone has more likes or views on social media— your nervous system responds to this like an actual life-threatening situation.

 

A coworker doesn’t say “hi” in the hallway and you spend the whole day wondering, “What did I do to make them mad?” The ego loves to take everything personally!

 

Here is a big one right now: There is an epidemic of “the need to be right.” To the ego being wrong feels like a threat to its very survival. This is why people argue on Facebook about politics, wars, elites, AI, Bill Gates, Supreme Court rulings, etc. (things that they absolutely cannot and have ZERO control over) which diet is correct, who is wrong and who is right— without considering how many relationships are destroyed, endless arguments take place and a full out refusal to apologize. The ego would rather suffer in a broken relationship than to admit a mistake. It would rather clench tightly and hold on rather than release and let go—- especially when the circumstance is completely uncontrollable!



You achieve something great, but you hear the voice inside say “You just got lucky. This won’t happen again. Soon everyone will find out you’re a fraud.” the ego loves to make you feel insignificant and tiny.

 

You say “yes” to opportunities, events and favors that you do not want to do because you’re terrified someone won’t like you. The need to please people is the ego itself calculating its value based on other people’s approval. (I used to think this was a trauma response, but I’ve learned that that’s not accurate)

 

You sit in a room full of people, but feel completely disconnected thinking to yourself, “No one here truly understands me.” One of the egos most insidious tricks is the loneliness illusion by making you feel totally isolated. 

 

Your mind constantly loops a mistake that was made weeks, months or even years ago making you feel deep shame. This is the ego simply anchoring your identity to your worst moments.

There are many more examples.



If you are one of these people in a long “health journey”— you’ll soon recognize there’s a pattern.

Whether you decide to change that pattern or not, it’s up to you, but one thing for certain— nothing changes until you address it and address it correctly.

 

This constant, high-voltage panic completely hijacks your nervous system and destroys your body's natural defenses each and every time one of these scenarios goes active in your mind.

Like I said, most functional medicine problems are actually psychological problems that hardly anyone understands.

 

And it’s one thing to talk about it, it’s a whole other thing to actually know how to properly resolve it. 

When your inner security system is totally fried by your own mind, constantly reacting to these scenarios— your body becomes a wide-open door for bugs, viruses, and toxins to move in and take over.

 

The parasites and mold are just the symptoms, but a hijacked nervous system is the real criminal.

You can take all the expensive supplements you want, and you can buy every detox support on the market, use red light therapy and oxygen chambers stimulate your vagus nerve, do deep breathing exercises and eat the cleanest foods—- but if your nervous system is completely hijacked because you are constantly reacting to unknowns, uncertainties, lack of information, or a loss of control, none of those physical treatments will do any good in the long term.

 

That is certain!

100% Guaranteed.

You are essentially pouring clean water into a bucket full of holes.
