In other words the standard medical approach to ill-ness, dis-ease, health, and healing (treating symptoms) is not only incorrect but potentially extremely harmful. "Doctors” have, historically, attempted to convince you, their “patients,” that only they can cure you. Physicians of all types are excellent for crisis or trauma intervention. However, they are abject failures at disease prevention or chronic degenerative diseases such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, or whatever. An old Chinese aphorism says it best, "The superior physician cures before the illness is manifested. The inferior physician can care only for the illness which he was unable to prevent."

Since physicians do not have a cure for any non-traumatic condition, their primary purpose in treating such conditions should be education. Patients are seeking answers outside themselves. Occasionally a physician provides precisely the “answer” you require. A “miracle” cure results. The vast majority of these miracles occur when you incorporate some type of life style change into your life. This is nothing more or less than an educational system involving a teacher (care giver, physician, etc.) and you, the student or patient.

If the teacher says or does the correct things that you need or want to hear, you willingly accept this knowledge and begin to make it part of your life with positive healing results. Inexplicably, the things you want or need to hear the most are those which you already know on some level. You just need to hear and accept them from a slightly different viewpoint or perspective. Then it makes complete sense, primarily because you already knew it, and secondarily because you have finally reached a point where you have decided to accept it.

In other words, you seek that outside yourself which you already know within yourself, but which you, for whatever reason, can not access or accept, at that particular time, by yourself. This explains why a particular patient can go from one physician to another for years, or for a lifetime, without finding a “cure.” This person simply has not yet “accepted” what s/he needs in order to cure themselves. At some point, this individual may become lucky enough, or desperate enough, to find and listen to a physician that says or does precisely what is needed, at that time, to evoke a change. If the change results in a life style change, the cure may become permanent. If you return to the original life style patterns and abuses that resulted in your current condition(s), your dis-ease will re-occur.

You will be able to incorporate all the changes which will be suggested for you, but you will not be able to complete them overnight. Your progress will depend greatly upon your current health status, your attitude, your outlook, and how long you have had the problem(s) which brought you to your present condition. Be patient with yourself. Your persistence will be rewarded.

If, at any time, you develop new symptoms from attempting any recommendation, either stop or slow down implementing that suggestion. Re-institute, increase, or resume as your system allows you to tolerate the changes. Pay careful attention to your body’s responses.
