Micheal Murray ND • A revolution is occurring in health care. • As our understanding of the environment and the human body evolves, new ideas develop.
New ideas focus on the interconnectedness of the body, mind, emotions, social factors and the environment. • It is a combination of all of these factors that determine the statue of our health.
Symptoms • Symptoms are your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong and should not be ignored. • Symptoms should be viewed as the body’s attempt to heal, while the causes can spring from physical, mental-emotional, spiritual, social and other factors.
Prevention • Prevention is absolutely the best cure.
Antibiotics • When used appropriately, antibiotics can save lives. • However, antibiotics are grossly overused. • Some conditions can be treated with natural remedies. • When antibiotics are overused it leads to chronic candidiasis (bactieria imbalance in our gut) • Overuse of antibiotics can also lead to the development of antibiotic resistant bacteria (Super bugs!)
World Health Organization • The World Health Organization defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being not merely the absence of disease”
How about you? • If you want to be more healthy simply make healthy choices. • The health practices and lifestyles of our parents usually become intricately woven into the fabric of our own lifestyles!
Responsibility • The first step in achieving and maintaining health is to take personal responsibility. • The second step is taking the appropriate action to achieve the results you desire.
4 Cornerstones of Health • A Positive Mental Attitude • A Healthy Lifestyle • A Health Promoting Diet • Supplementary measures
4 Cornerstones of Health = 4 legs of a table • If you want a table to remain upright when stress is placed on it then the 4 legs must be intact and strong
