Chronic Diseases: From Their Roots to Recovery

Chronic Diseases: From Their Roots to Recovery

Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi begins his discussion of chronic diseases from a perspective that he considers different from the conventional medical approach.

Rather than starting with the name of the disease or the affected organ, he begins with what he believes is the most important question:

Why have chronic diseases become so widespread in modern times?

According to his view, the answer does not lie in a single factor, but rather in the lifestyle that has changed dramatically over recent decades.

From his perspective, God did not create human beings to live on processed foods or to burden their bodies with substances that were never part of human nutrition throughout history.

Therefore, he believes that the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is not a random phenomenon, but a natural consequence of the transformation of the food environment in which modern humans live.

Disease Is Not the Beginning... It Is the Result

One of the central ideas in Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi's explanations is that he rejects the notion that chronic disease appears suddenly.

 Instead, he describes it as "the final outcome of a long journey of daily mistakes."

In his view, a person does not wake up one day with a chronic disease. Rather, the process begins years earlier, as the body is repeatedly exposed to factors that he considers physically burdensome.

As these inputs continue over time, imbalance gradually accumulates until symptoms eventually appear.

Only then is the disease diagnosed, even though, according to his perspective, its causes began developing long before.

For this reason, he often emphasized that:

"Disease is not the first problem; it is the body's message informing its owner that something is no longer functioning as it should."

Inputs Are the Key to Understanding

Dr. Diaa repeatedly builds his explanations around the concept of "inputs."

By "inputs," he means everything that enters the human body on a daily basis, whether food, drink, or anything else.

He believes that the body constantly interacts with these inputs. When they are compatible with its natural design, the body functions efficiently.

When they are not, the body gradually begins to carry additional burdens over time.

For this reason, he argues that understanding the cause of disease must come before searching for treatment, because correcting the inputs is more important than continually searching for solutions to the outcomes.

Food... The Primary Cause in His View

One of the defining features of Dr. Diaa's philosophy is the central role he gives to nutrition in explaining chronic diseases.

He believes that modern people have moved far away from natural foods, replacing them with foods that have undergone industrial processing, modification, and the addition of preservatives, flavor enhancers, and ingredients that were never present in natural food.

This is why he stresses that food is not merely a source of energy; depending on its quality, it can either build health or contribute to exhausting the body.

He therefore maintained that the problem lies not only in how much people eat, but more importantly in the kind of food that now makes up the majority of modern diets.

Why Have Chronic Diseases Become More Common?

Dr. Diaa raises what he considers an important question:

If medicine continues to advance, why does the number of people with chronic diseases keep increasing?

From his perspective, the reason is that people treat the outcomes while continuing to repeat the same underlying causes.

A person may take medication every day, yet never change their eating habits or lifestyle.

 As a result , the body continues to be exposed to the very factors that Dr. Diaa believes are responsible for perpetuating the problem.

For this reason, he emphasizes that eliminating the cause must come before addressing the result, because, in his view, the body functions better once it is no longer continually exposed to what exhausts it.

The Body Is Not the Enemy

One of the fundamental ideas on which Dr. Diaa builds his explanation is that the human body is not naturally incapable.

Rather, he believes that God created human beings with remarkable abilities for regulation and repair, and that many of these abilities become weakened when people continue introducing into their bodies what the body regards as a burden.

For this reason, he often expressed the idea that the goal is not to help the body do its job, but to stop interfering with it, because the body already knows how to perform its functions when provided with the right environment.

Chronic Inflammation... The Common Link

One of the terms that frequently appears in Dr. Diaa's discussions is "chronic inflammation."

He believes that many modern diseases, despite their different names, share one common feature: a persistent state of inflammation within the body.

Therefore, he focuses on removing the factors that he believes sustain this inflammatory state, rather than simply treating the symptoms of each disease individually.

For this reason, he connects nutrition and lifestyle with the body's ability to regain its natural balance once these contributing factors are reduced.

How Do Daily Mistakes Become Chronic Diseases?

If Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi believes that chronic disease is not the beginning of the problem but its outcome, then he raises another question that he considers even more important:

How does the body reach the stage of disease? What happens years before symptoms appear?

From this point, he explains what he considers a chain of interconnected events, emphasizing that the body does not move from health to disease overnight. Instead, it passes through successive stages that begin with small, repeated mistakes, gradually develop into ongoing disturbances, and ultimately manifest as a disease with a recognized medical name.

Disease Does Not Begin in the Affected Organ

One of the ideas Dr. Diaa frequently repeats is that a common misconception is believing that disease begins in the organ where symptoms appear.

If pain develops in the joints, people assume the problem exists only in the joints. If blood sugar rises, they believe the problem began in the pancreas.

 If symptoms appear in the colon, they think the disease originated in the intestines.

Dr. Diaa, however, believes that these organs are not always the starting point. Rather, they are simply where the final result becomes visible, while the actual imbalance began much earlier through the accumulation of multiple factors that burdened the body and weakened its ability to maintain its natural balance.

For this reason, he often emphasized that:

"Treating the place where the pain appears does not necessarily eliminate the cause that produced it."

He believes that understanding the root of the problem must come before searching for ways to deal with it.

The Digestive System... The Starting Point

In many of his explanations, Dr. Diaa gives the digestive system a central role, considering it the primary gateway through which all inputs enter the body.

Food does not complete its role when it reaches the stomach. Instead, a long series of processes begins, including digestion, absorption, hormone secretion, and the transport of nutrients to every organ in the body.

For this reason, he believes that any persistent dysfunction at this stage can affect all other body systems, since every cell ultimately depends on the nutrients delivered through the digestive system.

This is reflected in one of his frequently repeated statements:

"If you want to understand disease, begin with the digestive system."

Chronic Inflammation... The Common Denominator

One of the terms Dr. Diaa frequently repeats in his lectures is "chronic inflammation."

He believes that many modern diseases, despite their different names, share a common underlying condition: a persistent state of inflammation within the body. According to his perspective, this condition does not appear suddenly; rather, it is fueled day after day by unhealthy habits and by the inputs he considers incompatible with human nature.

For this reason, he focuses on eliminating what he believes are the underlying causes that keep the body in a chronic inflammatory state, rather than merely dealing with the visible symptoms.

Accumulation... Not a Single Mistake

Dr. Diaa emphasizes that the problem is not one meal or one day of unhealthy habits, but continuous repetition.

A person may repeat the same mistake hundreds or even thousands of times over the years until the body is no longer able to compensate as it once did.

For this reason, he explains that chronic diseases are not created by a single decision; rather, they develop through a series of small accumulations that initially appear harmless but eventually produce significant effects over time.

This is why he places greater emphasis on correcting daily habits than on searching for temporary or quick solutions.

Why Is Treating Symptoms Not Enough?

Dr. Diaa believes that treating symptoms without removing the underlying cause is like trying to dry the ground while the source of the water remains open.

For this reason, he often repeated an idea similar to the following:

"As long as the cause remains, the result will continue to return."

From this perspective, he encourages people to search for the root cause before becoming preoccupied with the branches, because removing the factor that created the imbalance, according to his view, gives the body a better opportunity to restore its natural balance.

Summary Table of Dr. Diaa's View of Disease Progression

Stage	How Dr. Diaa Explains It
Daily Inputs	Everything begins with what enters the body: food, drinks, and repeated daily habits.
Digestive System Dysfunction	He believes imbalance begins when the body can no longer properly handle these inputs.
Chronic Inflammation	According to his approach, the continued presence of the same inputs leads to a persistent inflammatory state.
Disruption of Body Functions	The body's organs and systems gradually become affected over time.
Appearance of Disease	At this stage, symptoms appear and the disease is diagnosed, but he considers this the final outcome rather than the beginning.

 

Returning to the Cause Before Seeking Treatment

For this reason, Dr. Diaa emphasizes that the first step toward restoring health is not searching for the name of the disease, but asking the right question:

What brought the body to this stage?

He believes the answer begins by reviewing one's lifestyle, the nature of one's diet, and daily habits, because, in his philosophy, these are the factors that determine whether the body maintains its balance or gradually enters the cycle of chronic disease.

Healing Begins by Removing the Cause, Not by Chasing the Symptoms

How Does Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi Explain the Philosophy of the Body Returning to Balance?

After explaining that chronic diseases do not appear suddenly and are, according to his perspective, the result of the accumulation of daily inputs

 Dr. Diaa moves on to what he considers the central principle of the Tayyibat philosophy:

The body was created with an innate ability to regulate itself and recover, but this ability weakens when a person continues burdening it with the very factors that led to disease.

He presents this idea as the foundation upon which the Tayyibat system is built, linking the removal of what he considers harmful factors with giving the body an opportunity to restore its natural balance.

"The Body Does Not Need You to Fix It... It Needs You to Stop Harming It"

One of the most recurring ideas in Dr. Diaa's explanations is that people often search for a new treatment while continuing the same habits that he believes caused the problem in the first place.

For this reason, he frequently repeats an idea similar to the following:

"The body knows how to function... it simply needs you to remove the burden from it."

He believes that many people expect different results while making no changes to their lifestyle or diet.

From this perspective, he argues that removing the cause comes before any other step, because, in his view, the body cannot restore its natural balance if it continues to be exposed every day to the same factors that he considers responsible for the ongoing imbalance.

Self-Healing... The Cornerstone of the Tayyibat Philosophy

One of the terms that appears frequently in Dr. Diaa's discussions is "self-healing."

By this, he means that the body possesses, according to his approach, innate systems designed to maintain balance and repair dysfunction, and that the role of the individual is to provide the proper environment for these systems rather than continuously interfering with them.

For this reason, he believes that the path toward improvement begins by reducing the burden placed on the body through choosing what he considers appropriate foods and avoiding the inputs that he believes overwork the digestive system and contribute to the accumulation of health problems over time.

Fasting... Rest for the Body and a Return to Balance

Fasting occupies a special place in Dr. Diaa's explanation of self-healing.

He does not present it merely as temporary abstinence from food, but rather as a way of giving the body a period of rest from the continuous process of digestion.

According to his perspective, these periods allow the body to direct its energy toward functions other than the constant processing of food.

 For this reason, he links fasting with the reorganization of the body's functions and considers it one of the practical pillars of the Tayyibat philosophy.

Real Change Begins with Daily Habits

Dr. Diaa emphasizes that chronic diseases do not develop in a single day, and therefore he does not expect everything to change in a single day either.

For this reason, he encourages people to change their small daily habits, because the habits that are repeated every day are, in his view

what ultimately shape long-term outcomes.

Among the examples he frequently mentions are:

• Avoiding the foods that he classifies as prohibited.
• Relying on natural foods whenever possible.
• Eating only when experiencing genuine hunger.
• Stopping when feeling full.
• Keeping meals simple.
• Making fasting part of one's lifestyle.

He believes that it is the combination of these habits that produces meaningful change, rather than relying on a single step while neglecting the rest.

Summary of Dr. Diaa's Philosophy of Self-Healing

Core Idea	As Explained by Dr. Diaa
Cause of Disease	The accumulation of inputs that he considers incompatible with the body's natural design.
First Step	Remove the causes before focusing on the outcomes.
Role of the Body	According to his view, the body possesses an innate ability to regulate and heal itself when its burden is reduced.
Method of Application	Natural foods, reducing the inputs he considers harmful, and incorporating fasting into one's lifestyle.

 

Prevention Before Treatment... The Core of Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi's Perspective on Chronic Diseases

Why Does He Believe That Changing One's Lifestyle Is the True Beginning?

After explaining through the Tayyibat philosophy that chronic diseases do not appear suddenly, but are the result of continuous accumulations in diet and lifestyle, Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi arrives at what he considers the essence of this philosophy: prevention is not merely something that comes before disease it is a lifelong way of living.

He believes that people should not wait until symptoms appear or medical tests confirm that a problem exists. Instead, maintaining health begins with daily choices that may seem simple but are repeated hundreds or even thousands of times over the years.

For this reason, he consistently connects lifestyle with long-term health, emphasizing that what a person does today will shape their health years into the future. This is why he places greater importance on correcting daily habits than on relying on temporary solutions.

"Every Day Is a New Opportunity to Build Health"

One of the recurring themes in Dr. Diaa's teachings is that the body is influenced by what a person provides it every day, not by what happens only once.

One meal does not create health, just as one meal does not create disease. What ultimately shapes the outcome is consistency.

For this reason, he emphasizes that health is not a decision made for a day or a week, but the result of a collection of habits that gradually become a way of life.

From this perspective, he encourages people to be mindful of everything they allow into their bodies and to continually ask themselves:

"Is this food consistent with the natural way God created the human being, or is it simply a product of the modern food industry?"

Returning to Natural Foods

Dr. Diaa believes that one of the primary reasons chronic diseases have become so widespread is that people have moved away from natural foods and increasingly rely on industrially processed products that undergo extensive manufacturing and contain numerous added substances.

For this reason, he places natural food at the center of the Tayyibat philosophy, encouraging people to choose foods in their original, natural form whenever possible, because, according to his view, these are the foods most compatible with the way the human body was naturally created.

This principle is not limited to a specific type of food, but rather reflects an overall philosophy toward eating.

The simpler a food is, the less processed it is, and the closer it remains to its original state, the more it aligns, in his opinion, with the principles of the Tayyibat system.

Responsibility Begins with the Individual

One of the principles Dr. Diaa repeatedly emphasizes is that individuals are ultimately responsible for their own daily habits.

Simply knowing which foods are appropriate is not enough; that knowledge must be translated into daily practice.

He believes that success depends not on temporary enthusiasm, but on long-term commitment, because small habits, when repeated consistently, produce significant results.

For this reason, he encourages patience while changing one's lifestyle and advises against expecting transformation overnight, because, according to his perspective, the body needs time to adapt to a new way of living.

Tayyibat... Not a Temporary Diet

Dr. Diaa is careful to explain that Tayyibat is not simply a temporary weight-loss diet, but rather a comprehensive way of life.

The goal is not to follow the system for a few weeks before returning to previous habits, but to build a new relationship with food based on moderation, awareness, natural nutrition, listening to the body's signals, and avoiding excess.

For this reason, he believes that those who embrace Tayyibat as a lifelong lifestyle will, according to his perspective, be more capable of maintaining it than those who view it as a temporary diet that ends once a particular goal has been achieved.

The Key Principles of Dr. Diaa's Perspective

Principle	The Idea as Presented by Dr. Diaa
Prevention First	Preserving health begins before disease appears.
Returning to Nature	Choosing natural foods and avoiding excessive industrial processing.
Correcting Daily Habits	Real change begins with small, consistent daily practices.
Consistency	Results are determined by what is repeated every day, not by temporary solutions.
Tayyibat as a Way of Life	It is not a short-term diet, but a lifelong approach to nutrition and health.

According to Dr. Diaa Al-Awadi's perspective, chronic diseases should not be understood as sudden events or isolated medical conditions.

Rather, according to his approach, they are the result of a long process of repeated habits and daily inputs that accumulate over time.

For this reason, he directs his attention toward searching for the causes before the outcomes, emphasizing prevention before treatment, and correcting lifestyle before focusing on symptoms.

This is the foundation of the Tayyibat philosophy, which is based on returning to natural foods, listening to the body's signals, avoiding the foods that he believes have burdened modern humans, and transforming these principles into a sustainable way of life rather than a temporary program.

According to this perspective, the path toward better health begins with the daily choices that individuals make for themselves, because, in Dr. Diaa's view, those choices ultimately shape their future health.
