Principles of Natural Health

 

The premise of the natural health movement is that a person with a

healthy, fully functional immune system is able to withstand any

viral attack, irregardless of how virulent that virus may be. It is

only when a person's immune system is compromised through toxic

poisoning, injury, lack of water or nutrition that virulent virus

strains are able to overpower the body.

 

The U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Nutrition and Health (1997) says

that half of all deaths in the U.S. can be attributed to poor eating

habits. This includes eating foods which contain toxic elements,

and/or foods with little or no nutritional value. See Food As

Medicine .

 

The key to personal health lies with each of us individually. Modern

science and government programs play a legitimate role in society.

But until we stop our dependence on government and health authorities

to protect us against disease out-breaks and take personal

responsibility for our own health, plagues and health disasters will

always be a threat.

 

Following a preventative regime of good, nutritional food, exercise,

stress management, vitamins, and a positive, strong, centered belief

system can protect and shield your family better than any known

preventative medical modality. But only you can make that decision.

The question is not whether or not this regime works, but

rather...when will you make a commitment to them.

 

1.Physical Health: Our physical health occurs in a combination of

mental, emotional, and spiritual health. While there is no guarantee

of a physical cure, what is ALWAYS available to us, is a sense of

wholeness, affirming life, and living fully.

 

 

2.Art and Science: The science of healing is reaching out for the

best that medical science has to offer. The art of healing is reached

within, to mobilize our own internal resources for healing.

 

 

3.The Healing System: The body has its own natural ability to heal.

In certain situations, surgery or drugs maybe life saving, but it is

the internal healing system that allows ultimate life. When we fully

accept and express all parts of ourselves (physical, mental,

emotional, and spiritual body) the healing process is strengthened

and the optimal healing can happen.

 

 

4. Activating the Healing System: It is our own participation in our

own healing that fully accesses the healing system. This requires

that we develop a passionate involvement with our life. That we find

the meaning in illness and in health. Healing, in its essence, is an

adventure in self discovery.

 

 

5. Achieving Optimal Health: This requires us to look beneath the

surface at the lifestyles we choose, the belief systems and attitudes

we hold, and the choices we make about our spirituality, our inner

life, our relationships with self and others, and our sense of

purpose and meaning in life.
