I discovered a couple of years ago that I didn’t have Parkinson’s, but I had Parkinson’s symptoms caused by food allergies. I figured out what foods were causing muscle rigidity, muscle spasms, and tremors, and I quit eating them. What do you know, a new man! The main culprits were glutton and sugar. Now that I am paying much closer attention to what I am eating, I am noticing that a couple of other minor physical and health problems I have had for much of my life are also probably caused by food allergies. I periodically get nauseous, get blown up with gas, and have diarrhea. It doesn’t last long, but it is always inconvenient. I have been doing detective work, and I think I am getting it zeroed down to the probable culprits. I wonder how many other people have problems because of certain foods that they eat that they are not aware of. My issues were minor when I was younger but got progressively worse as I got older. I am thankful that I discovered what was causing my problems.

Many of the problems we have in our lives are caused by our violation of God’s fundamental principles and laws. Just as the foods we eat have consequences for our health, so do the things we bring into our minds through our eyes and ears. A significant part of the problem is that our standard of what is healthy or unhealthy has changed a lot over the years. Worldliness is a significant cause of loss of blessing from God, and the reason worldliness becomes a problem is because of carelessness; it is no big deal; a little won’t hurt. I don’t say that anymore regarding certain foods. A little bit matters a lot.
