I am still not certain many/all of these diseases are not the same thing.
i'm convinced it is STRESS.
and like a chain.. we break somewhere.
interesting to note.. some have ideas that pain in certain places represents something mentally that can be understood. I have seen this to be true.
lower back pain means you are worried about money ( a problem i had not so long ago)
well that is the one I know.. and saw it come and go with my concern..
and keep in mind.. this is the hard part of understanding things.. we often are in denial about it or think we are ok.. that is partly why the spiritual map of pain helps to say.. well you say that.. but.. and you can explore the idea and (usually) see it in yourself.
only with God have I been able to change anything.
namaste.
