Root cause analysis is an important tool for finding out what went wrong. If you don't pull up the whole root, the problem will just come back. Process safety managers and engineers use various methods to do root cause analyses.
One of the simplest methods of root cause analysis is known as the "Five Whys." The person conducting the analysis simply starts by asking why things happened at least five times. I am going to use that method to examine the possible root cause(s) of my wife's recent death.
(1) Why did my wife die? Her death certificate states she died from bleeding as a result of the intervention the medical professionals did on her. (I am not going to go into specifics.)
(2) Why were they doing an intervention? Her death certificate states she had an acute circulatory catastrophe, which caused her to pass out at the grocery store.
(3) Why did that catastrophic event occur? Her death certificate states she had a deformity in her circulatory system. I believe this is a presumption because there was no testing or imaging done prior to the event, although I am sure the surgeon could tell what had gone on.
This is as far as the death certificate goes and I did not want them to do an autopsy.
Continuing with the "whys"...
(4) Why was there a deformity or weakness in her circulatory system? Only God knows, but she had chronic inflammation for a long time. That was diagnosed by an immunologist. Had the medical professionals looked into her records, they would have known that.
(5) Why did she have inflammation? This is the key question, in my opinion, and one the medical community never pursued. They harped about cholesterol and blood pressure, although her numbers were not bad. Those are symptoms of inflammation, but they have been labelled as discrete medical conditions: hyperlipidemia and hypertension. Through our own research we learned that the official advice for addressing those issues only leads to worsening of those "conditions," so we found our own paths to improving our health, often by going in exactly the opposite direction. For example, we did the Whole 30 diet for a month. It made big improvements in our health and allowed us to learn what foods were, and were not, causing problems for each of us.
But despite all of our efforts, her inflammation remained and I couldn't figure out why.
Then, two months after she died, I learned she was deficient in vitamin D. I did an entire post on that and I encourage you to read it here. That realization explained everything.
(6) Why was she deficient in vitamin D? Because she never went in the sun.
(8) Why do people parrot that advice? Because they believe those who seem to be in authority.
(9) Why would the authorities give bad advice? That's a very important question, and one people need to pursue on their own. That's because they wouldn't believe it if they were told.
When we understand the "big picture," everything makes sense.
All glory to God.

UPDATE, September 3, 2022...
I know absolutely nothing about the culture of that country, and am pleased things are being done to make people's lives better. That is what God wants. When we see an opportunity to do good, we are called to do it.
As an engineer, I immediately analyze things and try to fix problems. I look forward to debriefing my friend when they are back to see if there are ways I can help. I think some root-cause analysis of the situation would be fascinating to do, and am looking forward to perhaps giving it a try. It's what I do.
This is so much fun!!
UPDATE, January 2, 2025...
This video discusses how blue light is bad for our health. It correlates with many of my wife's infirmities. There is something here that needs more consideration and contemplation. The video is very fast-paced and quite technical.
I still have the digital alarm clock my wife had when we first met. The digits are red. Many things manufactured for night-time use these days have blue or green light, and I know that is a problem. Crooks have been making us sick by the products they sell us.
The root cause: crooks
We can fix this by understanding the Truth.
UPDATE, March 28, 2025...

| From the video. |
I am writing this update at 5:30 in the morning. I was wide awake around 4:30 and started falling asleep last evening around 20:30 (8:30). I'm typically up with the sun and start snoozing when it goes down.
I'm hungry for some breakfast, too, and ready to go.
Why? I never used to be this way.
Because I am not watching color television in the evening during "prime time."
The television I do watch is old DVD's I've watched over and over again. I know the stories and usually end up watching them "through my eyelids." I got rid of my cable TV box three and a half years ago.
When I run the television in the evening I have the colors desaturated, which is "black and white." I do the same with my phone and computer screens in the evening, but not during the day. The sky is blue during the day.

| Desaturated (B&W) |
Every day for the past few weeks, I have been taking my walks in the morning around, or shortly after, sunrise -- without my glasses. My routes have been such that direct sunlight enters my eyes so the light can interact with my retinas.
There definitely seems to be something to this. I spent about an hour and a half yesterday morning walking in strong, direct sunlight, and this morning the effect seems to be particularly pronounced.
Please seriously consider watching and rewatching the video to comprehend the message.
I believe the crooks tell us to do exactly the opposite of what we should be doing. I believe they created "prime time television" to make us fat so we need medical services so they can make a profit.
I'm old enough to remember the 1960's. Hardly anyone was fat. The only place one could see a "fat lady" was in a carnival side-show.
The advent of the for-profit medical industry was coupled with the advent of television, and then color television. We became conditioned to mindlessly watch end-of-the-workday, popular content and "programming." Those of you who are old enough, do you remember how "black and white" televisions emitted a blue glow?
My wife watched a lot of television, and later in life she spent a lot of time looking at her computer tablet. Her vision was also bad, and she had very highly-correcting eyewear through most of her life.
Everyone has been taught to fear ultraviolet (UV) light. We are taught to wear sunglasses, which block UV. Glass windows block UV. Again, we have been propagandized to behave in the ways the crooks want us to behave, and in this case they are getting us to avoid UV light entering our eyes.
WHY? SO OUR BODIES DO NOT PRODUCE THE CHEMICALS (hormones) THEY NEED TO SURVIVE AND THRIVE??
Apparently so.
I believe we need to live the way God designed us to live. He created our bodies; he created the sun; he created UV light and the lenses in our eyes that allow UV light in. (The video makes that point by demonstrating fluorescence of the retina.)
We can't go wrong by trusting God's ways. This is why I take walks in the morning without wearing my glasses.
