Causes of illnesses

Research by Dr. Shen revealed that not only back problems, but also negative emotions and
stress play a key role in the developments of illnesses. These findings form the basis of the
theory of the double vicious circle.

According to this theory, bad body posture and negative emotions are the primary causes of most
complaints. Negative emotions influence the biochemical working of the body. This results in the
formation of toxic by-products in the metabolism. These by-products accumulate in our body,
especially in between the vertebrae, the joints and in the organs.
