One Disease

There are six areas in daily life that we all travel on, either toward health, or toward disease. These are nutrition, toxin, psychological, physical, genetic and medical. If along these six pathways we nourish our cells and prevent them from being poisoned with the choices we make, we remain healthy. Simply put, healthy cells don't get sick. If, however, we make poor choices along these in our day-to-day life, disease occurs.

Because of this, nearly all diseases can not only be prevented, but reversed. The responsibility lies in each of our hands as to which we desire: health or disease. That is an awesome responsibility, and one that may come as a shock to many of us, especially in America, who have been conditioned to believe that illness and disease are just a part of growing old, something all humans face. Not so. Health and longevity as an equation is simple:

Health = Positive Things -- Negative Things

The Face of Health

Sound like something out of biblical times or maybe even an out-there science fiction movie? It's not. This image is based on the typical health and life of peoples such as the Vilcabambans of Ecuador and the Hunzas, from a valley in the Himalayas (now a portion of Pakistan).

Americans, on the other hand, are not faring so well:

• The US spends more on health than any other nation, per capita and in all, yet ranks 37th in overall health, according to the World Health Organization.
• Autopsies on teens and adults in their early twenties whose deaths occurred accidentally in Los Angeles showed an astonishing eighty percent had early stages of heart disease and fifteen percent had arteries with more than fifty percent blockage.
• Recent medical journals estimate three-fourths of the US population had a diagnosable chronic disease, yet according to a 1997 poll in Parade magazine, about two-thirds of Americans consider themselves to be in "good" or "excellent" health.
• The same poll in which so many Americans consider themselves healthy found that about two-thirds that responded regularly take prescription or over the counter drugs.
