Just to show how important nutrition is... let's say that you went without water (a valuable nutrient) for 18 hours.
You would probably have a headache.
Before panicking and thinking that you have a migraine, if you just drank some water, your headache would be gone, right? Now you would not say that water "cured" the headache, but instead that the body can heal itself when given the proper nutrients. In fact, this is the same for most any health condition. High blood pressure is not a disease, but merely a symptom. When the body is fit and healthy, it does not have heart attacks. A vitamin B-12 deficiency can result in infertility and miscarriage.
Ovarian cancer, testicular cancer, prostate cancer, oh my! Cancer doesn't sound as scary when you realize that it is basically just a multiplying of mutated cells. In fact, every day, your body kicks out cancerous cells as long as your immune system is strong. It is scary when someone we know, comes down with leukemia, breast cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, liver cancer, oral cancer, and so forth, but by eating right and getting all of the necessary nutrients, such as antioxidants, the body is able to remove cancerous cells on it's own. We treat a lot of medical conditions as if they were a "chemotherapy deficiency" or "drug deficiency". Diabetes is not an "insulin drug deficiency" if you look at the physiology of the internal organs. I recognize the need for some medications. I don't want hepatitis, so I got my vaccination shots. But studies have shown that getting flu shots every year can bring on Alzheimer's disease at an earlier age. A naturally strong immune system can help prevent colds and infections though.
When the cells are not communicating properly, and are basically attacking each other, we call the health condition an autoimmune disorder. Some of the popular auto immune disorders include multiple sclerosis (MS), scleroderma, asthma, fibromyalgia (or chronic fatigue syndrome), cystic fibrosis, thyroid problems, myasthenia gravis, colitis, arthritis, graves disease, and meniere's.
