Our citizens spend ten percent of the nation's gross national product on hospital and medical care. We have more doctors and hospital to serve our population than nearly every other counntry, and yet the United Nations World Health Organization continually rates our population as having one of the lowest general health indexes of any industrialized nation. In other words the general health of most Americans is poor.Perhaps the reason that health seems to escape us rather than being our normal experience could be that we do not understand what health is and where it comes from. The World Health Organization has adopted the following definition of health: "a state of optimum physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity." Most people think health is having no symptoms. This is truly not the case. In fact, the first symptom of heart disease for forty percent of those who suffer from it is a severe or fatal heart attack!

Symptoms are the end result of the body's inability to function properly. Currently,society's emphasis has been on the removal of symptoms rather than on creating an environment in which the body can function as close to 100% as possible. Health can be achieved and maintained when your emphasis shifts toward creating optimum function, not simply removing symptoms.
