Hello Friends:
My wellness journey has taken me into the Medicare and health insurance experience. There are many variations and confusing information. After spending the time to learn and still learning, I have decided to help others by becoming a Health Insurance Agent specializing in Health, Long-term Care, and Senior Insurance. I will be posting what I’ve learn to help those who are interested.
Your friend,
I have just read a book that explains Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clearly that you may find useful. The book is “Total Health, the Chinese Way” by Esther Ting PhD and Marianne Jas, MA. Here are some of the chapters: Understanding how your body works, Strengthen your defenses, Move and Breath…
Dr. Ting practices in West LA.
Your friend,
According to Dr. Dean Ornish, Clinical Professor and founder of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute… “Your Body has a remarkable capacity to begin healing itself, and much more quickly than people had once realized, if they simply stop doing what’s causing the problem. And so, really, so much of what we do in medicine and life in general is focused on mopping up the floor without also turning off the faucet”
Here is a remarkable 17 minute video by Dean Ornish that is worth more than the time to watch it.
I agree with Dean Ornish and believe that you control your wellness. His presentation drives the point home. What you feed your mind, body and spirit/soul, network (social) and finance determines your wellness. Do you feed your mind hate, get even, envy, etc? Do you feed your body diet cokes, drugs, alcohol, processed foods, tobacco, etc? Do you tell yourself that I’m too tired to walk or not today to a swim?
I will take it further and say that most of the practice of Western Medicine is treating the symptom with surgery and drugs that are controlled by powerful groups. In Japan, rated by the United Nations World-Wide Life Expectancy Survey as No. 1. The United States is rated No. 38. The medical practice in Japan is orientation to find the cause and addressing that, not the symptoms.
What do you believe about your wellness is the key. Have you experienced a person that by all odds should be dead but has an undying belief that he will get well and fights to get well? Or watched someone just gave up on losing some weight?
Please think, believe and achieve your wellness as you control it, no one else really cares and does.
Yours in wellness,
Arlan
PHYSICAL WELLNESS
Your body is a wonderful and amazing being that GOD created. As you were created, life should be a wonderful and exciting experience because of a vibrant functioning body. Treat it well and allow the body’s magnificent healing power to work as it should.
Your body consist of mind, body and soul. As Pogo said, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.” You are responsible to exercise and feed your mind, body and soul. A mind full of worry, hate, bitterness, jealousy, loneliness, regret and fear; a body full of fats, and grease, refined sugars, white flour and starches; a liver filled with alcohol, caffeine, colas, and chemicals; lungs filled with carbon monoxide, exhaust and toxic fumes can not and will not deliver wellness and health. Only when we accept responsibility for our own physical, mental and spiritual health will we be well.
“Wholesome nourishment of the physical body, daily exercise and nourishment of the mind and soul are the key ingredients to vitality and long life. Above all, to renew the spirit by giving up mental anguish of hate, hurt, fear, anger, jealousy, worry, regret and bitterness to accept and embrace love, understanding, hope and forgiveness is the real secret to recovery and wellness. You need to regain the faith, love and appreciation within yourself to trigger your body’s magnificent healing powers.” Ed Foreman
