A life which lacks proper diet and exercise, it bound to suffer from a lot of physical diseases, both mental and emotional problems. The answer is to have a healthy lifestyle as early as possible. This is the reason why exercising has been given a lot of emphasis in many schools recently. If a child has got healthy eating habits along with regular exercising, he will carry it on later in his life and also pass it on to his children. This is a blessing which we as parents can give to our children, a healthy life blessing. And this blessing will help them to live a healthy life.

But the case unfortunately is the opposite. We wait for physical problems to crop up before we change the unhealthy lifestyles which have resulted in the problems. By that time, change is difficult, even if we know that health depends on it. After a point of time, changes in our lifestyle is difficult to change. Moreover, by that time our unhealthy lifestyle has been passed on to our children too, who will one day have the same problems. That is why it is said that certain disease runs in the blood. It is actually the unhealthy lifestyle which is passed on from one generation to the other and poor eating and exercising habits. It is not the disease which is passed on.

Good health has no shortcuts. Many look for the magic pill to change their body without any effort. In spite of this, there are many commercials of television and advertising to convince us of pills which will make us look great. But there is no such thing that exists. It does not work so easily. Some effort and commitment from our end is required. The change is required. It does not need to be a major change. Simple adjustments like walking up and down the stairs, eating smaller meals, walking to the parking lot, can make a lot of difference. You will have to have an exercise routine with a healthy diet. This will make a dramatic change in your lifestyle. Start and you will be happy to have started. So start and see the results and you will be motivated. The difficult part is to start. It is fine if you start slowly and then go in for an intense program. After you see the results, you will always remain motivated.

One day a very nice young woman came into the store and asked for me by name. She told me that I came highly recommended by a friend of hers who was very happy with the new exercise equipment I sold them. I thanked her and asked her “how can I help you?” She told me it was her husband who needed my help. She said that he would come by the store later that day and that she wanted me to assist him. I told her that I would be glad to help him.

She then told me that selling him on exercise and buying the equipment will not be easy that he is a tough customer. She said that he owns his own business and he was used to getting his way. She further said that he was recovering from a heart attack and multiple bypass surgeries, that she and the doctors were urging him to start exercising soon and he was resisting the idea. The doctors had said that he needed to make some changes in his life like an exercise program or they feared that the next heart attack may be fatal.

This very nice woman started becoming a little emotional. She said “our life is wonderful together I do not want to lose him just when everything is coming together for us and our children.” I assured her that if he had the slightest inclination to start an exercise routine that I would find it and move him to buy the equipment and get started. We exchanged a few more words, she thanked me and left.

Later that day toward the end of my shift the lady’s husband came into the store and asked for me. I met a very pleasant gentleman, middle aged, intelligent, successful but obviously ill and out of shape. I took him through the different pieces of equipment we had, explaining the features and benefits. At the same time I also explained how to begin an exercise program and its benefits.

He listened patiently but I could see that he would have rather been anywhere but here in this store talking with me about exercise and its equipment. Soon he was taking control of the conversation and steering it in the direction he wanted it to go. I knew I was losing his attention and before long I would not be able to help him or his wife and children.

He started talking about all his business success, his property and showing me pictures of his RV and their place in the mountains. He was really enjoying himself now as he talked about a motorcycle he had, his boat and many other things that he had acquired. I kept silent as he went on and on but there was a realization I was coming to about him and his situation that I could not fully put into words yet.

He was now finishing up and getting ready to leave the store. In another moment I was going get a handshake, a smile and his back as he walked out into the mall. But during the handshake I caught him up and I said “Before you leave I need to tell you something personal that you need to hear.” He looked a little startled and said “what’s that”?

I stepped just outside the store with him and said “Let me tell you something I have been thinking about while you were talking”. Here is what I said, “Everything you have, your business, money, property, house, cabin, RV, motorcycle, boat, your power, mean nothing if you do not have your health. They are only things that are worth less then the dust on the bottoms of your shoes without you. You could go out today, lose everything and get it all back, which could be easy for you. But you cannot buy back your health and not your family; they are what is important. And without your health even your family is in jeopardy.” I stopped talking and then stood there looking at him waiting for a reply.

I noticed he seemed a little red faced and a bit angry from the look on his face. I thought to myself that possibly I was going to have a complaint logged against me by this man. Then he started to talk “You know what, you have brought up something that I have not thought of in quite the way you put it, you got to me. I will be back tomorrow afternoon with my wife and we will pick out some equipment so I can get started, thanks.” He shook my hand again, turned and walked down the mall corridor toward the parking structure. He and his wife were back that next afternoon just like he said and we completed the sale with no further problems.

I still think about that incident in my life because it was a turning point of sorts for me as well as him. I had really not thought about what I told him until just that moment when I spoke to him and that realization came together just then. I myself had just recovered from a year and a half struggle with a cancer. It was the same prostate cancer that had killed both my father and grandfather.

It was a profound experience and I was of course elated that I had cured my cancer but until that moment in the mall I had not put any value on just how much it meant to me. The reality was that the experience of curing the cancer had made me rich beyond imagining. That experience gave me the ability to cure any disease and that is priceless.

I would never have to fear that some symptom I was feeling was a fatal disease. I would never suffer with a chronic disease. I would never have some doctor tell me you are going to be on this medication for the rest of your life. I would never have to face chemo, radiation or surgical procedures for cancer. And I couldn’t care less if I had medical insurance coverage.

How could I say that? Simply put, I learned to cure my own cancer by using traditional Naturopathic medical techniques. These Natural cure techniques were demanding there was nothing easy about it. It was as though I had taken on a second job. I was busy from the time I got up in the morning till I went to bed at night for over a year and a half. I was constantly either cleansing or detoxing or purging garbage out of my body nonstop. But I found the strength to do it because of the successes I was seeing in my health. And I learned that it is within the capabilities of anyone to do just what I did. Out of that Naturopathic experience I gained the knowledge of what it takes to cure any disease, period. And over the nearly twenty years since then I have applied those techniques over and over for myself and numerous other people.

I know what you might be thinking, “you may think that what I said is not medically scientific and has not been proven to work”. Well, I did not have time to wait for medical science. And quite frankly their track record and knowledge of what it takes to cure any illness is weak. They have not cured one disease in over half a century.

Naturopathic Medicine on the other hand has an ancient and honorable track record of curing disease for over 8,000 years. Obviously such a long usage of herbs, foods and cleansing techniques by common man justifies their use of the term “Traditional Naturopathic Medicine” as a scientific description and definition.

But regardless of how what I just said plays out in the confused world of medicine, money and politics I found my answer. And that answer as I said at the beginning of this article has made me health rich beyond measure, how about you? Are you health rich beyond measure, I think you and your family deserve to be don’t you?
