Understanding Health & Disease
Health is not merely an absence of disease but rather a state of harmony within oneself at every level: physically, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually. It is a dynamic state and forever changing. Health is our natural birthright, and perhaps one of our life long responsibilities to achieve and maintain an optimum level of health.
Dis-ease or illness is a state of disharmony within oneself. This may be due to inherent weaknesses, severe or repeated trauma, unresolved grief, neglecting one's health by over-indulgence with tobacco, alcohol, drugs (both prescribed and recreational); living and working in a stressful environment or in a relationship; not allowing oneself the time to rest, laugh and play...
All this can activate the inherent weaknesses so that one is unable to respond to the changes in the environment, therefore the body may over react and develop conditions of hypersensitivity and allergies e.g. hay fever or asthma; or it may deplete one's immunity making one prone to infections,
allowing viruses, bacteria or parasites to invade, reside and multiply causing such conditions as colds, coughs, pneumonia, malaria or it may lead to auto-immune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis or cancer.
Our aim is to discover your optimum health potential and provide a safe method of health care. In order to do this we need to identify what has caused the illness and what needs to be done to restore health in the safest and most rapid way possible. After rediscovering one's optimum health, is it then possible to maintain this state of well-being and continue to improve?
We feel that it is necessary and therefore possible.
