Typically, illness begins long before it is diagnosable, sometimes up to ten years before you ever realize it exists. It does not just appear one day, so here are some tips on determining if you might have some pending disease that, with proper nutrition, a little exercise and some training of mind/body practices, can prevent potential disease from ever fully presenting in its most aggressive form.rnHave you had or do you have significant anger problems in your life? If so, that is the first place to start. As painful as it is, identify the source of the anger and deal with it. Usually, the anger is in the past. Accept that fact, deal with it and accept that being angry now is hurting no one but you. The body is a subtle energy machine. It detects even the smallest amount of anger and resentment. When it does detect anger or resentment, signals are sent throughout your autonomic nervous system in as little time as 8 milliseconds, interpreted by the brain and in response, the brain sends out signals telling the body it needs to release certain neurotransmitters and neuropeptides, among other things. Emotions are real, with real and tangible consequences within the body. They are not just something we think about. http://www.candacepert.com/rnhttp://www.heartmath.org/research/publications.html#aboutus_publications_dissertationsrnHow do you know if you have diabetes presenting in your life?rnInitial warning signs of diabetes start something like this: a family history of diabetes; swelling of feet and calves; after a while you might have swelling in the lower part of your calves and feet with a tinge of redness and heat with some neuropathies… tingling and/or numbness in hands, legs and/or feet, you might begin to have strange drops in energy, especially shortly after eating a sugar product or simple carbohydrate; dizziness, frequent urination and thirst; wounds that don’t heal quite as fast as you think they should; gastrointestinal problems can even present; possible changes in vision; high triglycerides; poor hdl/ldl ratios; hypertension issues and weight or obesity problems, especially around the abdomen and women might have polycystic ovarian syndrome. If you have any combination of these symptoms it would be a good idea to intuitively review the subtle symptoms of your body, educate yourself about the early onset symptoms of diabetes and most certainly, discuss your findings with your physician. It is important that you as an individual be responsible for your health and look for early onset of disease. You know better than anyone how you feel at any given moment. Pay attention to your body and talk to your physician about what you find. Personally, I suggest a physician trained in both conventional medicine and holistic medicine such as an MD/Naturopath or integrative medicine practitioner. http://www.selfhealthsystems.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=SP&Store_Code=SHShttp:// rnwww.drweil.com/drw/u/ART00682/diabetes-diet rnHow do you know if you have prostate problems?rnImportantly, it is a known fact that men who have been touched inappropriately as a child, are prone to prostate and testicular problems. If this has happened to you, these resentments need to be addressed. Again, these occurrences are in the past and best left in the past. As painful as it may be, forgiveness matters and can help facilitate healing. Forgiving doesn’t mean that what happened was ok, but rather releases the negative energy patterns stored within your body. Prostate problems present in many ways, i.e., sexual dysfunction, more frequent urination, especially at night, trouble starting and keeping the stream of urination, prostate discomfort such as heat and itching; male pattern baldness, muscle mass wasting, and remember, the heart is a muscle so if your leg and arm muscles are flabby, so is your heart. It is also important to note that a biopsy is not always the first best choice. There are many known nutritional cures for prostatitis and prostate cancer. Do your homework before you visit the surgeon. http://www.ronaldwheeler.com/psa.shtmlrnHow do you know if you have cardiovascular issues pending in your life?rnThe first thing to look for is your energy level and your ability to get a good breath. If your heart is having problems with pumping and circulation, there will not be sufficient oxygenation and you will feel easily fatigued and out of breath upon exertion. Another problem to look for is water retention. Water retention (edema), typically in the legs and abdomen, is an indicator of many problems, but definitely one to consider with cardiovascular disease. It is usually a strong indicator that your mineral levels of magnesium/potassium/calcium, amino acid and/or hormones are out of balance causing the fluid to be held in the body as opposed to being excreted. It can also be an indication of a deficiency in taurine and carnitine. Physicians usually start prescribing diuretics as opposed to treating the deficiencies of these important nutrients and hormones. Once diuretics are started, the problem usually tends to get worse with time, with one drug after another added to your regimen. Unlike nutritional remedies used properly, drugs come with their own cascade of significant side effects. Another problem that can present with cardiovascular disease is something called dysautonomia, a little known problem caused by irregular heartbeats such as palpitations, mitral valve prolapsed and other valvular problems which affect the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is very sensitive to subtle changes in heart rhythms. I know from experience that many physicians have never heard of dysautonomia so you might need to educate yourself a bit. Dysautonomia presents with symptoms of hypoglycemia, depression, anxiety and bipolar issues. Things never thought to have anything to do with the heartbeat. In fact, treating hypoglycemia by eating a small protein snack about every four hours can sometimes make a profound difference in your life when it comes to bipolar issues.rnhttp://www.mvprolapse.com/dysautonomia.htmlrnThere is only some much to be said in a short article, but here is a start to get you along your way.

ABSTRACT The immune system is the body's vigilant guardian, constantly patrolling for threats like bacteria, viruses, and abnormal cells.
