1. Overall health (Even when under medical treatment)

The importance of overall good health cannot be overstated; to achieve this we must combine Intelligent Eating of a healthy diet, a healthy lifestyle, and suitable appropriate exercise.

Diet And Lifestyle Critical To Recovery, University of Manchester (2008, January 20).

2. Intelligent Eating:

Exploring and adding some specific natural edible herbs, spices, vegetables, fruits and other mostly plant based, from mixed colorful,100% whole, skin intact food,which will contain nutrition, and a plethora of highly potential therapeutic (disease curing) and prophylactic disease preventing agents known as phytochemicals (Not in capsule or bottled or powdered or other processed form) in our own individually suitable 'Balanced Diet' as ' Herbs and Medicine".

"Eating the right foods and spices - and avoiding the wrong ones - could go a long way toward staving off everything from gut ailments to cancer" say Johns Hopkins experts.

3. Following medical doctor's advice

In the case of serious medical condition like heart attack, nothing but a scientific proven medical evidence based curing system can save life.

But then why do many people lose faith in science based Medicine?

The answer is that because MEDICINE alone is not responsible for the good health of people, Health promotion is often not in its menu.

Many Physicians around the world consistently ignore prevention science. Medicine has become an industry that is, unfortunately, infested with corruption to only sell expensive cures and palliative care.

Flaws, corruption, and fraud are easily detected in the conventional health care delivery system as it remains under hard and constant scrutiny; whereas the business in herbal products, supplements, plans, devices, and many other unproven products that are sold to people under the banner of 'alternative medicine' are not under such stringent Government regulation; this gives a vast scope to those individuals and Companies with vested interests, such as politicians, and the quacks and charlatans, to exploit the public.

Making real, honest, sincere efforts to empower people with correct knowledge towards health promotion will have a far reaching impact on reducing morbidity and poverty.

Researchers, other persons and organization involved in making deliberate fake studies and spreading fake information, and sometimes even using honest scientific information on health and nutrition for the purpose of selling diseases and then selling fake or ineffective cures to the public, are health fraud scammers.

Health fraud scams must be globally recognised and declared as a serious crime. The rate of death, pain, suffering, medical disasters and morbidity caused by health fraud scams will always be higher than that of those caused by Wars and terrorism.

We ordinary people need to understand that cures for many ailments and health conditions we can buy, but good health is not something we can buy from others.

Medical interventions can remove pain that arises from ailments, but often the underlying causes that make the body's cells and genes ineffective in protecting us from diseases remains unaddressed.

Therefore health is not found in curing diseases, either by proven medicines, unproven herbs, supplements devices, or plans; instead health is found in having correct knowledge on protection of health, and using that knowledge effectively.

Curing of ailments becomes essential when a medical condition arises due to, for example, malnutrition, or due to lack of correct information and motivation on taking self-care of health. However when choosing a cure, basing that choice of cure on proven scientific evidence is not only prudent but could be life-saving.

4. Exercise:

Exploring and doing individually suitable meditative exercise (in a natural environment where possible), that includes high to moderate intensity, aerobic, musculoskeletal, strength and endurance, flexibility, balance maintaining exercise. Slow motion exercise, like Indian, Chinese and Thai yoga helps to build strength. Special emphasis on exercise of throat, eyes, ears, nose, fingers, stomach, pelvic and mouth (mouth cleaning by Salt, Oil and Spices) aids overall well-being.

Physical and mental exercise, Intelligent eating, and Buddhi are integral to overall health, well-being and longevity with a quality of life.

Physical and mental exercise is integral to the existence of good health.

5. A 24 hour Scientific Meditation:

Exploring, learning, and Remaining 24 hours in a scientific meditation to remain in tune and communicate with cells and genes. Scientific meditation involves healthy eating and life-style.

Warding off diseases, staying mentally and physically strong, reversing untimely aging, and living a real quality life is quite possible throughout your life - even at very advanced age - but only through the correct medical science and evidence based self-care of health which we have named as Herbs Meditation.

6. Understanding Health Fraud Scams:

It is easy to fool a person but it is very difficult to make him or her understand that he or she has been fooled.

Avoiding hearsay and myth will have a far reaching impact on transforming our own behaviors (especially our natural trait of believing in hearsay and myth and looking for shortcuts and 'magical' cures instead of understanding and practicing Herbs Meditation).

Understanding what is hearsay, myth and misinformation will enable us to turn the present social health care system, irresponsible media, clinicians, doctors, non-medical doctors and the food industry, who are presently health hostile foes, into health friendly allies.

Any information and activity intended to misguide and entice people to become more and more unnecessarily dependent on, or become addicted to unnecessary and excess use of curing facilities, curing methods, health products, plans and devices, be it proven or unproven, is tantamount to a health fraud scams.

Beware of 'health scammers'

Health scammers use pseudo science, and often cleverly presented genuine science evidence, to sell their products, ideas and plans, especially for 'fad' procedures such as Chelation (a medical process for removing toxic metals like lead from the body), detox, and weight loss, by promising us a short cut, a 'magical relief' from a host of other ailments such as cancer and entirely normal bodily processes such as ageing.

We get trapped into their net and become addicts to unnecessary intervention that often makes the body lose the abilities it has evolved to perform, like removal of waste, natural detoxing and protection from diseases. For example, eating fiber depleted refined, unhealthy, highly processed food will obstruct bowel movement and will cause chronic constipation.

Eating, even one time only, some selective natural edible plant based, individually suitable, whole food (with skin fiber intact), like edible leaves, spices, seeds, nuts, whole cereals and whole grain, vegetables and fruits, will help the body's waste elimination system to regularize and effectively remove waste.

The unregulated or medically supervised use of 'short-cut' methods that are often questionable and possibly even injurious - for example putting some liquid material such as coffee in the anus through a tube, or taking some pills to cause forcible cleaning of the bowel - is unnatural and such interventions prevent our body performing its necessary functions correctly; hence our body loses its ability to effectively eliminate feces from the intestine; this is known as "Use it or lose it".

Unnecessary interventions, and not letting the body do its work will, over time, cause our body lose its ability to perform those natural tasks, and thus we become dependent on products and devices and finally become diseases prone; then our personal money, and that of Government public funds, is wasted on curing those avoidable diseases and maladies sold to us by big business, health frauds and scammers.

Comment

Honest science-based evidence suggests that eating unhealthy food and living an unhealthy, sedentary life will cause constipation, obesity and many other diseases. Taking unproven short-cut cures for constipation and obesity, attempting to reverse the effects of nutrition deficiency in our diets by the use of supplements and other such products and devices will make us become dependent on and addicted to such intervention that can be hazardous to health. Constipation and weight accumulation in the body will reoccur again unless eating and lifestyle problems are corrected.
