INTRODUCTION
This guidebook was designed to provide useful information about ways to improve one’s health and well being through natural means. Education about what good health is and what the body needs to obtain and maintain good health is important so that we can make the best decisions for ourselves.
Good health should not be thought of as absence of disease. We should avoid negative disease-orientated thinking and try to concentrate on what we have to do to remain healthy. Health is maintaining on a daily basis what is essential to the body while disease is the result of attempting to live without what the body needs. We are responsible for our own health, and should get in control of it. If we are in control of our health, disease will not take control.
Our health depends on education.
Natural Healing
The purpose of natural healing is to remove the cause of disease without harmful drugs or unnecessary surgery. Natural healing utilizes natural therapies including nutrition (vitamin and mineral supplements and diet), herbs, homeopathy and hydrotherapy. Massage, reflexology, and spinal manipulation can also be utilized effectively for restoration or maintenance of good health, although they are not covered extensively in this handbook.
This book is made up of two major sections. The first is Nutrition, which discusses the six classifications of nutrition as a major role in maintaining optimal health. The second part discusses specific Ailments and Conditions, including explanations, symptoms, causes, suggestions on what to do to achieve natural healing, including proposed supplementation* as well as suggestions as to what one can do to avoid the condition.
This section of the book is not meant to provide quick relief for symptoms. When looking up a condition or ailment, it is important that you consider what the underlying causes are if you expect any relief from the symptoms. Elimination of the cause is often the best remedy to eliminate the symptoms. If you do not eliminate the cause and simply try to cover up the symptoms, you will encounter an unending cycle which can be more and more vicious with time.
For example, if you have dry skin, it is important to determine if a vitamin, mineral, or essential oil deficiency exists, or if over-exposure to the sun, or lack of humidity in the air, etc., is the cause in order for you to correct it. Creams and lotions are only a temporary solution which only cover up the symptom and will not solve the problem.
Another example is pain. Pain, such as a headache, can be due to any number of causes including allergies (food, inhalants, etc.), digestive problems (constipation, indigestion, toxicity, etc.), low blood sugar, stress, arthritis, over-indulgence in alcohol, high blood pressure, anemia, eye strain, and others. Pain killers may help your headache temporarily, but if the cause is not identified and eliminated, the headache is likely to return.
I would like to thank the numerous health authorities I have had the opportunity to work with in the last few years who have guided me and taught me a great deal about wholistic health and wellbeing. The following individuals have served as mentors to me and I am greatly indebted to each of them; Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Dr. Linus Pauling, Dr. Stephen Levine, Dr. Keith Sehnert, Dr. John Willard, Dr. Hal Huggins, Dr. Paul Eck, Dr. William McGarey, Dr. Oscar Rasmussen, Dr. Dean Call, Michael Tierra, Udo Erasmus, James South and finally, Dr. Arnold Susser, who is the author of the Foreword.

Nutrition is the relationship between foods and the health of the body. Optimal nutrition is a diet that contains all essential nutrients which are supplied and utilized in a balanced amount to maintain health. Optimum dietary habits include two simple concepts: What you should eat and how much you should eat. Understanding the reasons behind these two concepts is a bit more complicated.
Knowledge of the nutrients and their functions in the body is needed for the understanding of good nutrition and a balanced diet. A balanced diet contains portions of each of the main nutrient classifications of food. The six basic classifications of nutrients are the carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water.
Each nutrient has its own special function and relationship to the body, but no nutrient acts independently of the other nutrients. All the nutrients must be present in the right quantities in order to maintain optimum health. Although everyone requires all these nutrients, individuals do not necessarily require the same amounts of these. Quantities vary according to individual needs.
The myth of the typical American diet is that it is normal, well-balanced, and contains sufficient amounts of all the nutrients we need.
The truth is it is not.
A balanced diet is often discussed in books, but many of us never actually see it in front of us. In spite of all the excuses we might have for not getting proper nutrients such as soil depletion, food processing and cooking, it ultimately is our own responsibility to feed ourselves properly. Just because a piece of white bread has all the natural nutrients refined out of it does not mean we have to eat it. There are many other much more nutritional food choices we can make.
We have become a nation of convenience. We want what is fast and easy. We have a huge abundance of fast food restaurants, frozen foods, canned foods, boxed foods and junk foods to choose from to satisfy our hunger and cravings. Unfortunately, the refining, preservatives and additives that accompany them are preventing us from
