According to Wikipedia: "Health is the level of functional or metabolic efficiency of a living being. In humans, it is the general condition of a person's mind, body and spirit, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury or pain (as in “good health” or “healthy”). The World Health Organization (WHO) defined health in its broader sense in 1946 as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." Although this definition has been subject to controversy, in particular as having a lack of operational value and the problem created by use of the word "complete", it remains the most enduring." The freedictionary has it as: health·y (hlth) adj. health·i·er, health·i·est 1. Possessing good health. 2. Conducive to good health; healthful: healthy air. 3. Indicative of sound, rational thinking or frame of mind: a healthy attitude. 4. Sizable; considerable: a healthy portion of potatoes; a healthy raise in salary. Skeat's Etymological Dictionary has it coming from the Anglo-Saxon and earlier terms which meant "whole". Which is confirmed by the Online Etymology Dictionary as : health (n.) O.E. hælþ "wholeness, a being whole, sound or well," from P.Gmc. *hailitho, from PIE *kailo- "whole, uninjured, of good omen" (cf. O.E. hal "hale, whole;" O.N. heill "healthy;" O.E. halig, O.N. helge "holy, sacred;" O.E. hælan "to heal"). Of physical health in M.E., but also "prosperity, happiness, welfare; preservation, safety."

This then gives us our solution and our problem.
We really can't peal off the mental from the physical, since the
amount of stress a person finds in their environment. And that is
in both the modern and ancient uses of the term. A person wasn't
truly healthy if they had some issue with people around them - or
their environment.
And funny enough, this lead me to you.
I was born fortunate enough to grow up on a farm and see nature
first hand. And then I went out into the world and came back in
order to run that farm again. In between, I was involved in all
sorts of adventures, which mostly revolved around improving
people's mental or spiritual health (same thing, if you think it
through.) Being back here on the farm allowed me some
seclusion where I could think this through and write up a few
summary books (found on my Lulu.com site, along with some
auxiliary references I've republished.)
Let's consider for now that this part of existence is wrapped up - or you could just spend more time
with your own spiritual advisor if you need help in that area - but let's just let that all slide for now.
The old phrase goes, "If you have your health, you have everything."
To give you a comparative, I'd tell you about Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee, of the
Shaklee Corporation. While his life was explored by "The Shaklee Story"
by R. L. Shook (and a nice excerpt of that book is found here), there are a
couple of highlights you need to know.
As a child, he was born with tuberculosis. Wasn't actually expected to live
through the night - but he did. To help him heal, the family moved from the
coal mines near Carlisle, Iowa, to a farm near Moorland in northern Iowa.
There he spent as much time as he could outdoors, and helped pick various
herbs and plants for remedies. This time spent in resting and reflection,
along with the healthy food, sunshine, and exercise was his cure.
And he then became dedicated to helping people heal. He trained and became a chiropractor. In Fort
Dodge, Iowa, he built a clinic which was devoted to bringing people back to health. During this time,
he contracted cancer from use of early (unshielded) x-ray machine use from helping others. While he
was told he would be a multiple amputee and only a few months to live at that, he refused that idea.
Selling the clinic, he returned to Davenport, Iowa. There he began an intensive program of nutrition,
continual blood analysis, and occasional fasting. In order to have the freshest, most nourishing diet, he
regularly drove to the countryside, where he purchased fruits and vegetables from farmers the same day
they were picked. Over months, he started showing improvement and by four years after he was
diagnosed, the Chicago clinic which originally diagnosed him, as well as the Mayo clinic, both were
impressed with his progress. However, they could only say that the cancer was "in remission" and

would not venture that he had cured himself
with nutrition and strength of will. They also
had no interest in pursuing the program which
Shaklee had discovered - which is that
supplements can help solve.
A 17-year-old video tells more about this:
http://youtu.be/PVdmVFvDzKQ
And this really brings us right up into our
modern age where more and more of our food
is being processed and packaged, without a lot
of regard for its nutritional value. Farming
became more and more mechanized and chemicalized. More people were living because our food
production and distribution lines were improved, especially after WWII, but the continuing rise of
obesity and diabetes incidences - both of which preventable with a more natural lifestyle which has
balanced diets and exercise - all this shows we have far more work to do.
A more current video (only 3 years old) tells the rest of this story: http://youtu.be/6uJE_XhGepU
And this is really why I found Shaklee and became an Independent Distributor.
Because it makes sense.
And helps me help others with improving their own lives.
Please do your own due diligence. Don't believe what I say - decide for yourself. And decide what is
best to bring "healthy" into your own world as a way of life.
Thank you.
