WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK
This book is for those who are "sick and tired of being sick and tired." It is for those who seek help and are told that their physical examination and blood chemistry is normal, and are left with unanswered questions as to why they feel so ill. This book is for those who are pacified with a drug, because that is what the doctor thinks is expected. The patient is told to come back if symptoms do not improve; by then health may have deteriorated to the point where other medication and/or surgery is recommended. This book is for those who have been told to eat a "well-balanced diet," but are given minimum information about the laws of wellness. They are left to the mercy of the food industry propaganda. The handouts from medical organizations for dietary advice have such surface information, they only add to the frustration and confusion when nothing seems to help. This book is for those who have learned that the health-care industry has little to offer for "chronic poor health" except a quick prescription, a pat on the back with no help for your symptoms, or a referral to another doctor with similar disappointing results. A barrage of expensive tests can seem unnecessary; some can have inaccurate information; some tests can be dangerous, with serious side effects or reactions. If you had a pain in your side today for the first time, and a week from now a doctor diagnosed colon cancer, you did not know yesterday you had colon cancer. It can take five to twenty years for the body to degenerate to the degree you experience a symptom. That symptom was a sign body degeneration had reach a stage in which the body could no longer suppress what was developing. This book is for those people who want to assume responsibility for their "wellness," and have a better change of controlling the development of disease. There are many people looking for a practical, reasonable method of taking responsibility for their health. This book will provide guidance through the confusion that discourages so many people, who are trying to nurture themselves and their families in a sick world. Treating disease is complicated; preventing disease is simple. This book simplifies a subject that has been made complicated by modern medicine’s treatment of disease, and made confusing by the abundance of preventive medicine’s options. It is true that medically trained people can best treat you for traumatic or acute illnesses. When I broke my hip skiing, I did not ask for a cup of herb tea. However, Robert Mendelsohn, M.D. says in his book CONFESSIONS OF A MEDICAL HERETIC:
"I BELIEVE THAT, DESPITE ALL THE SUPER TECHNOLOGY AND ELITE BEDSIDE MANNER THAT'S SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU FEEL ABOUT AS WELL CARED FOR AS AN ASTRONAUT ON THE WAY TO THE MOON, THE GREATEST DANGER TO YOUR HEALTH IS THE DOCTOR WHO PRACTICES MODERN MEDICINE." No one is as interested in your health as you are. You alone suffer pain, loss of life enjoyment, premature aging, and untimely death. You go to a modern doctor to feel better NOW; too often that is all you get. But, having a symptom relieved is not health. The name of the symptom, the name of the disease is NOT YOUR PROBLEM! Your problem is what CAUSED the symptom or disease. You can read dozens of separate books, building knowledge on different health subjects. Too often people do not read enough different health topics to put together a complete wellness program that works "holistically" in the body. My book gives you ALL THE BASIC LAWS OF HEALTH in one book, so you do not miss important health considerations. This is YOUR life -- you must assume responsibility for preventing disease. My own 20 year illness, added to the trials, struggles, setbacks and successes for another 20 years, have enabled me to organize this very practical approach for you, the "health student." The "laws" of wellness will help you to care for yourself and your loved ones. The result will be the enthusiasm that helps you make healthier daily choices. The payoff for making better decisions is doing the things you really want--feeling good -- and enjoying life to the fullest. To my active nursing license, I added four years as a rehabilitation specialist, twelve years working with holistic practitioners, and six years as a psychiatric nurse. I then obtained my diploma in Doctor of Naturopathy from the Clayton School of Natural Healing in Birmingham, Alabama. Twenty years of holistic research has culminated into this presentation.

About the Book
In a society with epidemic levels of disease, it is sensible to practice the principles of health, and prevent disease. Otherwise you are left treating the symptoms of disease--again--and again--and again. The body is an interrelated system. Except for life threatening situations, the body should be treated as a whole unit--simply--and with recommendations that balance all body functions. Some excellent health-oriented books deal with individual subjects, like nutrition in one book, elimination in another, exercise in another, and personal development in still another. The Power to Heal: 2nd Edition teaches you the importance of the interrelation between all levels of spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. The Power to Heal gives you step by step instructions that guide you through the wellness process.
Wellness does not have to be a difficult subject. Learn how to deal with tension and stress through positive thinking. Eat food that is capable of providing high quality nutrition. Consume chemical and parasite free water. Be conscious of good digestion principles. Help your body eliminate waste products at a speed that allows cells to function at peak performance. Exercise to enjoy life and promote a healthy circulatory and lymphatic system. Simplify the complex subject of supplementation. Protect yourself from electromagnetic polluted frequencies. These subjects, and much more, add up to common sense! DO NOT GET LOST IN ONE SINGLE SUBJECT, AT THE EXCLUSION OF OTHER BALANCING NEEDS. No given day is a test of all your knowledge perfectly implemented. Relax--enjoy your learning experience. Take pride in learning how to take responsibility for your health. Take care of your body--and your body will take care of you.
So dear reader, we can reach the end of a pleasant health education journey together. As you close the back cover of The Power to Heal, you will open a door to a higher quality of life. The Power to Heal will always be on your library shelf to refresh your memory, or just to remind you that assuming self-responsibility for your health is exciting and rewarding. You can now build self-confidence, and an enthusiasm that makes daily decisions easier. Dr. Earl Mindell, who sold over 10 million copies of Vitamin Bible, endorses The Power to Heal. I congratulate you for buying this book--you are worth it!
