Just as getting your passport in-order when planning a trip, there are many other steps to consider. When do you want to start your trip, where do you want to stop along the way, and what is your ultimate destination or goal? How much will it cost, how long will it take, what forms of transportation to consider?
Just as planning your trip, it is equally important to plan for your health and life-time goals. Don\u2019t wait until illness strikes, become proactive and take action today. What you do today may determine the quality and length of your life in the future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  • Eastern medicine is over 5,000 years old. It is the oldest, literate, continually practiced medicine in the world.<\/li>\n
  • Western medicine as we know it has been developing over the last 200 years.<\/li>\n
  • Eastern medicine is focused on natural health-care, prevention, wellness, balance and harmony.<\/li>\n
  • Western medicine is focused on disease, and utilizes specialists to reduce or eliminate symptoms.<\/li>\n
  • Eastern medicine uses the \u201cEmperical\u201d approach which means; we may not understand why it works, but the fact that it does work is more important than the explanation why.<\/li>\n
  • Western medicine uses the \u201cRational\u201d approach which views the universe as a constant and opposes anything it cannot understand by logic or deduction.<\/li>\n
  • Eastern medicine uses \u201csimilars\u201d to gently stimulate a healing response to bring the body back into balance.<\/li>\n
  • Western medicine use \u201copposites\u201d it focuses on fighting disease (\u201callo\u201d means opposite from which the term allopathic medicine is derived).<\/li>\n
  • Eastern medicine follows the \u201cInternal Environment Theory.\u201d which follows the principal that if our billions of cells each receives the nutrition and oxygen it needs and has its waste products removed, it will be healthy, therefore; TOTAL HEALTH CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED BY FIRST ATTENDING TO INNER HEALTH.<\/li>\n
  • Western medicine follows the \u201cGerm Theory\u201d which follows the principal that specific microbes (germs) produce a specific disease. In an attempt to destroy these germs it uses antibiotics, vaccines and medicines. The idea is, if there are no germs present there will be no disease.<\/li>\n
  • Eastern medicine uses acupuncture, manipulative therapy, food cures and hebology to move the natural life-force energy through \u201cmeridians\u201d or \u201cchannels\u201d to promote health and resolve the underlying dysfunction.<\/li>\n
  • Western medicine uses pharmaceuticals and chemicals to treat the symptoms of disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    David Darbo, M.D. explains it this way<\/h4><\/b>\u201cI am NOT in any way criticizing the noble men and women who dedicate their lives to saving the lives of others. The hospitals in the U.S. are first-rate, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and staffed with skilled technicians, nurses and physicians. In a medical emergency, there is nowwhere on earth I\u2019d rather be. It is necessary to act dramatically in crisis situations and the medical profession is to be applauded for its skill in dealing with catastrophic illness. My hat is off to the established medical order within the context of crisis care.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    \u201cThe problem is not how the medical system operates in its own context but how it fails to maintain health.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

    TAKE CANCER AS AN EXAMPLE:<\/b><\/h4>In the year 1900, 47 out of every 100,000 people died of cancer which was the sixth leading cause of death. In the year 2005, there were 212 people out of every 100,000 died of cancer which was the second leading cause of death. Even with the advancement in technology and after raising billions of dollars for a \u201cCancer Cure\u201d there is still no definitive answer, \u2013 Or is there? Every one of us has a family member or at least knows someone who has cancer.

    But, did you know that 80 to 90 percent of all cancers are produced as the result of dietary, nutritional or lifestyle factors? \u201cInherited genetic factors account for only a small fraction of all human cancers \u2013 less than 7 percent.\u201d

    According to the National Cancer Institute, with every five-year increase of age there is a doubling in the incidence of cancer because of the time you have been exposed to risk factors. As we age the gastrointestinal track is less efficient in absorbing nutrients which causes the immune system to weaken. At the same time the body is less efficient at eliminating waste and toxins. The majority of people are dehydrated from a lack of water intake and from excessive caffeine intake, which is a diuretic. The sugar in one can of soda reduces your immune system by 50% for up to six hours.

    The human body is composed of 70% to 80% water \u2013 and water is 89% oxygen by weight. Therefore, oxygen comprises 62% to 71% of the body, and is the body\u2019s most abundant and essential element. Ninety (90%) percent of all our biological energy comes from oxygen. We can go for several weeks without food, several days without water, but we cannot survive more than a few minutes without oxygen. The primary physical cause of all disease is linked in one way or another to oxygen deficiency.

    Do not wait until you are ill to seek health; become proactive and take the steps necessary to maintain your health. If you are 50 or older you should be on a health regime that you understand and makes sense to you. If you smoke and don\u2019t think you can quit, at least take steps to protect your body from the damage being done. If you have been treated for cancer, don\u2019t simply wait for your next annual check up to see if the cancer has returned. Become proactive and cleanse your body and strengthen your immune system. The Western approach to cancer is surgery, chemotherapy and\/or radiation, all of which focus on eliminating the cancer, but in the process weakens your immune system. In Oriental medicine we know that everyone has cancer cells, the difference between an active cancer and an inactive cancer is the state of the immune system. By maintaining a strong immune system we can prevent and\/or facilitate a healing process.

    Also understand that because the two treatment models are so different when someone tells you your condition is incurable such as in the case of fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Lupus, Arthritis, cancer, HIV\/AIDs etc., what they are really saying is that they have reached the limits of their knowledge on that particular illness. Never give up, stay optimistic, be proactive. And understand the POLITICS, POWER AND PROFIT that drives the health-care and food industries.<\/p>\n

    OTHER HEALTH ISSUES TO CONSIDER:
    <\/b><\/h4>They have raised billions of dollars to search for a Cancer Cure! Have you ever heard of them raising one dollar for Cancer Prevention? According to the American Cancer Society, \u201cthe probability that an individual, in the course of their lifetime, will develop cancer or die from it\u201d is 1 in 2 for men (50%), and 1 in 3 for women (33.33%). The \u201cFood Pyramid\u201d was developed as a dietary guide by the Department of Agriculture. Why the Department of Agriculture, who\u2019s job it is to promote and support farmers. Huge amounts of money were spent to influence Congress and others in the preparation of the \u201cFood Pyramid\u201d as to how much, and what types of foods should be recommended, nutrition had little to do with the final outcome. Would this not have been better accomplished through the Department of Health and Human Services. Did you know that the United States and New Zeland are the only two countries in the world that allow pharmaceutical companies to advertised directly to the public?

    Are there low cost, simple, and effective ways to reduce or eliminate high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, HIV\/AIDs and many other diseases? Would business decisions be made to block such cures from being known in the interest of promoting profits? You should explore the POLITICS, POWER AND PROFIT in the health-care and food industries. In the U.S. we spend more on health care than any other country; and yet we have higher incidences of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lung disease and several other diseases even though they are both preventable and curable. The U.S. ranks 29th in health out of the 30 industrial countries. Understand that there is no incentive on the part of the pharmaceutical industries to promote better health. They are the most profitable industry in the world, enjoying average profit margins of 30,000% to 50,000% over their cost of raw materials. Understand the Pharmaceutical industry has more to gain when people are sick than when they are well. The Nutrition industry is big business also while many companies are honest and sell quality products, you need to know which products you should consider for your health-care and which ones have the potency and freshness to be effective. Then there are the food industries which are master in deceptive advertising and are no doubt the leading cause of most of the poor health, obesity and illness. Read the labels or better yet adopt the policy if it comes in a bottle, can, or a box, don\u2019t eat it!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
