For example, putting on a coat tends to prevent catching a cold, particularly when there's either a foot of snow on the ground, or at the other end of the spectrum, that deceiving near-warmth that blows the occasional -- and still useful for starting a cold or flue -- gust of chill winds of March or October every few years or so. Putting on a coat may be annoying, but it's worth avoiding a more expensive cold, in terms of at least time, work, rest, play, and everything else you don't enjoy when you've got a cold or flu.

"Hold on, " you exclaim, "I've caught plenty of colds even when I did bundle up warmly." The fact that this is true for at least ninety or more percent of us tells us clearly that bundling up warmly is just one of the ounces of prevention available to us. Boosting the immune system by strengthening each of the known and clearly identified components of the immune system means avoiding the colds and flu far closer to perfectly than when we rely upon anything that is not part of our genetic makeup, or grown from the ground.

With the advent of devices such as the Phazx Bodyscan2010, which measures precise sensitivities to some 16,000 substances WITHOUT drugs or surgery, and other similar biofeedback and|or bioenergetic devices, we receive better information on "prevention of disease."

When we know what we are specifically sensitive to, we know to avoid that substance. In fact, we are seeing in this century the most photographic-like evidence that naturopathy works faster, better, and without intrusion to enhancing and extending our Longevity, than any insertions or surgical invasions involving sharp instruments and human flesh (uuggh!). Zero stress or chemical risks ever identified at any time in. More and more the human race is beginning to accept that when you screw with Mother Nature, you can be irretrievably certain that Mother Nature will screw with you. The human body responds to items and substances that occur in nature. How hard is this to take in?

Yes, penicillin was wonderful when Alex Fleming developed it (as a direct result of having saved the life of a rich young child in a drowning scare some thirty-five years earlier, affording him a college education that was otherwise not going to happen). Yes, it was wonderful that he established penicillin as a viable antibiotic when he got to save Churchill's life a second time with that first manmade antibiotic. The fact is, Churchill's life was in danger from bacterial infection, and it worked. Unfortunately, most Americans have taken sufficient antibiotics that most of the life forms killed off by the result of penicillin are now immune to it, as well as immune to even stronger antibiotics. Those people who rushed to take what is now called "Cipro" after the inhalation anthrax scare of 2001 learned the hard way that their immune systems were permanently compromised by taking this obscenely potent chemical.

Remember, the sole purpose of an antibiotic is not to boost your immune system. It is solely designed to depress your immune system to where the threat of death is so significant that the body's natural survival functions are sufficiently over-stimulated to produce unprecedented amounts of your immunosuppressants, the actual soldiers that do the fighting. Unfortunately, the intimacy of combat is such that the two enemies get to know each other, and the next time they encounter each other, there is no resistance available against the invading agent.

Treat every day as if it's your last; because one of these days you'll be correct. Health and wellness are attitudes and decisions as much as they are products and food items. How long do you want to live?

The Health-Oriented LifePath is self-explanatory. Blending the most documented and empirical examples of health, wellness, and Longevity with modern technology's most proven methods and devices, the NY National Health and Wellness Center is committed to empowering others to empower themselves, taking control of the medical decisions that affect how long and how well each of us lives. It is matter of practical application of the best things for our bodies, our minds, our very Longevity.
