Basic Philosophy of Natural Health

• Health is a state of well-being in which the body is vital, balanced & adaptive to its environment, not merely the absence of illness.
• Illness is progressive imbalance within the body, starting with energetic imbalances, before progressing to bio-chemical imbalances and symptomology to tissue damage and pathology.
• Causes of illness are multiple actions/forces which interfere with the balance and movement of bio-energy: one's constitution, psyche, lifestyle, trauma, and environmental stress (nature or human-made).
• Symptoms are signs from the body that something is wrong and needs to be addressed. So masking symptoms with drugs/surgery can often or ultimately harm the body because the cause of distress is not dealt with.
• Self-healing: the body has the innate intelligence and wisdom capable of healing itself given adequate resources to do so.
• Prevention: by correcting early-stage imbalances and unhealthy lifestyle (including environmental control) causing those imbalances, illness can be inhibited. Life and Medicine are one.
• Personal Responsibility: the psyche and lifestyle are key causes of energetic imbalances, so preventing and healing serious illness is primarily self care.
