Statement of Philosophy:

I believe that we are designed by God to express both health and vitality, not the sickness and disease that is so very prevalent in today’s society. I have made it my professional mission to take a message of hope and action to the masses so that they can be educated on what it takes to reach their birthright of excellent health and vitality.

Health is a chronic condition, not so very unlike other chronic conditions that we see today like heart disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes. We all know what kind of behaviors might increase our chances of developing chronic diseases.

Some of these might be smoking, alcoholism, lack of exercise, poor diet, GENETICS??? Nope, not the last one!! They can all be summed up simply as poor lifestyle changes.

Lifestyle is in large part what determines our level of health. If you truly believe as I do that we are made to be healthy, the question that we must ask ourselves is what needs to be done to promote this? It is very simple.

You must participate in the behaviors that promote health instead of sickness!! Unfortunately this is not as easy as it seems because there is so much misleading and down right wrong information that is being put out there to sell products.

That is what I teach and the truly beautiful thing is that it works whether you are three, (I am already teaching my daughter!) or ninety-three. You can ALWAYS grow your health and that is what I am looking to teach people.

The materials that I teach are universal as they are what we NEED to express health. As such, they are applicable to any person wanting to increase their personal health, regardless of any disease that they are currently being treated for. Wellness as I see it is truly a panacea, not a treatment for any specific condition.

Conditions:

Have you every just looked at a problem, a really big problem that people have been trying to fix for as long as you can remember and think to yourself, the solution is there and it is so easy to see, why can’t anybody else see?

If you have then you know how frustrating that can be. You just want to go and shout the answer from the mountain tops and help everyone. Too bad things don’t really work out that way. So often, you have a solution for someone and they are just not ready to hear it. So, do you just keep trying to beat them over the head or do you move on and find others for whom your message is right for them now? Of course it is the second. That is why I am attempting to take this message to as many people as possible. I know it can save their lives, I just do not know who is really ready to hear the message.

I sat down the other day and decided to write out a list of the most common diseases and ailments that I could think of in the US. Here they are in no particular order:

Cardiovascular problems
Cancer
Diabetes
Obesity
Colitis
Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue
Arthritis
Headaches
Musculoskeletal pain
Depression
I am sure you could add a lot more. What struck me is that so many of them exist because of a toxic lifestyle. The top 4 above are the ones that get all the press, they are the Glory diseases that get most of our research dollars and account for the largest amount spent on interventions and medications.

These diseases don’t have to exist if we could get into the lifestyle that our bodies were designed to live. People might argue that they get diseases because of their genes or family history but that is usually just not true. When you think that our genes remain virtually unchanged from when we were a hunter gatherer society and you see that there was virtually no heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes etc, how can we blame genetics? Heck, there were hardly any of those diseases just a few generations ago.

I just don’t understand that method of thinking and I have to get a different message out.

The United States is falling behind in the health of our people compared to other nations and here we are with a new National Health Plan getting ready to throw more of the same at all these problems. We spend way more on health than any other industrialized nation yet we are at the bottom when it comes to any measurement of our health. We take over 70% of all prescription drugs in the WORLD!!! We are not getting a good return on our investment.

I see a different way to turn the health of this nation around and I have made it my professional mission to take a message of hope and action to the masses so that they can be educated and empowered on what it takes to reach their birthright of excellent health and vitality.
