Health: The most important thing in life

Almost no one knows what the definition of health really is. Therefore that which they believe about health cannot be true. — Dr. Ian Grassam What is health? To have and understand the meaning of health, you must first answer this question. Doctors and hospitals offer health checkups through which they provide expensive exams and tests in an effort to create methods for the “early detection” of disease and thus promote “health.” Unfortunately, early detection is still after the fact, and the treatments involve more prescriptions and surgeries. Intravenous drugs and prescriptions are often given even to the elderly and children despite the risks and in the name of “health” and “wellness”. Most people would say that they are healthy when they feel good. DANGEROUS assumption. People with cancer or blocked arteries or heart disease can feel good. Symptoms of bad health will often come long after the disease begins. In today’s fad-diet-and-home-exercise-infomercial world, health also has come to mean losing weight or physically looking good. There are at least two enormous problems with this common misconception: 1. If you conceive “healthy” as looking or feeling good, what do you do when you feel bad? Most likely, if you’re like the millions of other Americans, you take a drug to feel better. When your symptoms disappear you assume you’re healthy again. Yet, you MUST understand, drugs do not cure illness, they only eliminate the symptoms that allow your body to tell whether you are healthy or unwell. 2. Because of the overconsumption and immunity to medication, patients commonly don’t exhibit any symptoms or warning signs until it is too late. When Tim Russert of “Meet the Press” died of a heart attack at the age of 58, he died without any prior symptoms of heart disease and had recently passed a medical evaluation. The first sign of heart disease is usually that you’re dead, and it’s usually a little too late to start looking into it. Those who hold the common misconception that no symptoms of a disease means there is no disease present is a major healthcare mistake. Although you may not exhibit a symptom, or may not have been diagnosed with a disease, does not mean that pain, sickness, and disease are not in your future. Dr. Greg Loman puts it best, “Utilizing symptoms to determine if you’re healthy or not is like jumping off a high-rise building. As you pass each floor on the way down, you can wave to the people inside and say, ‘I’m fine,’ ‘I’m doing great,’ ‘I’m feeling no pain.’ The symptoms won’t show up until you get to the lobby.” The real definition of health is when all cells of the body are functioning and healing at 100 percent. If your cells are healthy, then so are you. What does it take to get there? Five elements. • Detoxification — working with your doctor to cut back on medicines, eating more natural and whole foods not processed or foods coming in a paper sack at a drive-thru. • Nerve Impulse — Turning your power on by ensuring your nervous system has full access (Chiropractic care). • Nutrients and Water — learn about supportive nutrition (PTS Mentorship) • Oxygen and lean muscle — Improve fat to muscle ratios (PTS Mentorship) • Mental/emotional function — reducing stress, more sleep, time management (PTS).
