What is Holistic Health?
Health is more
… than the absence of symptoms
It is being well in all areas of health.
The Human Body is A Marvel of Creation!
|
The Human Body is:
| Self-Defending |
|
Thousands of Cells …
are sacrificed protecting your health from the environment and organisms like: bacteria, virus, fungi and parasites.
|
| Self-Repairing |
|
Millions of Cells …
that are damaged and injured during the day, are repaired or replaced each night while you sleep.
|
| Self-Replication |
|
Billions of Cells …
are produced – every night – to replace the trillions of cells that make up your body – every 7 years .
|
And, the Human Body is:
| Adaptable |
|
Short-term adjustments …
to challenging conditions in diet, environment, mental and physical stress.
|
| Resilient |
|
Bounces back …
once the conditions improve and/or normalize – health is restored
|
| NOT INDESTRUCTIBLE |
|
Permanent loss of health …
unless a person changes the things they are doing that cause the way things are.

Predictable Patterns
When someone experiences the discomfort and inconvenience with their health
… they have been conditioned to follow a process:
- They’ll get something from the drug store
. . . to help to make it go away.
- If it persists they will arrange a visit with their doctor
. . . to get a prescription for something stronger.
- If the symptom is still there
. . . they repeat the treatment.
If the symptom(s) quiets down – they resume their lives.
… But, if the symptom(s) returns or worsens, they will:
- Arrange another visit with their doctor
. . . to see if “it” might be something else
- Be sent for tests
. . . to help determine the source of the symptom(s).
- Receive a referral for a specialist – who has more training
. . . to help with a stronger, or different prescription
. . . and/or more and/or different tests
. . . or perhaps a surgery to remove or correct part(s) of their body.
- Afterwards, there will be:
. . . rehabilitation
. . . more prescriptions to manage the side-effects
. . . more medical treatments
. . . for the rest of their life.
The 3 responses to symptoms and disease are predictable
- Self-diagnosis and over-the counter drugs.
- Physician diagnosis, tests to confirm and a prescriptive drug.
- Specialist’ diagnosis
. . . tests to confirm
. . . stronger prescriptive drugs
. . . and/or surgery
. . . followed by more prescriptive drugs to manage the condition
. . . and on-going tests to confirm.
You’re On the Medical Merry-Go-Round
. . . it’s expensive and frustrating
|
21st Century life is predictable.
- Bags, boxes and cans of heat and serve meals
. . . with episodes of buy and eat fast food.
- Air and water pollution
. . . with episodes of preservatives and other food chemicals.
- Sedentary lifestyle
. . . with episodes of exercise.
- Stressful work
. . . with episodes of alcohol and comfort food.
- Stressful home and family life
. . . with episodes of vacation.
- Stressful finances
. . . with episodes of consumption.

What if that 21st Century Disease is caused by the 21st Century Life?
Of course, there are hundreds of medical diagnoses and recommendations – and associated billing codes – but they all boil down to these 3 conditions of health that are far easier to identify – and address.
| Healthy |
|
People are healthy if …
their body fits their skin, they’re engaged and happy, sleeping, painless, stress-less, and regular.
|
| Not Sick |
|
People are not sick if …
they’re “soldiering-on”. If they say: “I’m not sick, but … .” or “If only I could … .” , they are just – not sick.
|
| Sick |
|
People are sick if …
they are taking drug-store medications, taking prescriptions, or being treated by a Physician.
