Over the last 30 years, clinical science has revealed a wealth of information that has led to an understanding of the causes of disease pathologies in the human experience. This information has in turn led to an understanding of how good health dominates over ill health, and how the human organism is designed to function, leading to healthful homeostasis.
In the past, this information has been difficult to locate. Much of how we viewed disease and health was furnished by tradition and taught by family relationships. With the advent of the Pharmaceutical industry, the emphasis shifted to symptom relief. It was far easier to submit to a chemical protocol that provided the "quick fix' of relief of the symptoms of disease than to endure the struggle of working with the body to overcome disease pathologies. In the late 1800's and early 1900's infectious disease was the major threat. Most people ate foods far superior nutritionally than they do today and employment was more geared to hard physical labor than the sedentary occupations of our mechanized world. Heart disease and cancer were a rare occurrence and degenerative disease like diabetes and Arthritis were hardly known. The lack of sanitary conditions was the problem and infectious diseases spawned the need for the quick intervention of Chemical treatments that gave rise to the need for Pharmaceutical intervention.
Changes in society created by advancements in technology, have led to a more affluent life style, complete with less physically demanding occupations. Technology and the adoption of proper sanitation saw significant improvement in the freedom for most life threatening infections. Pharmaceuticals played their part and advanced to the forefront of medical science. Drugs became the panacea of medical intervention in matters of disease. Society soon saw drugs as new weapons against all disease states and people were now relieved of the responsibility of being personally involved in curing their ill conditions. Doctors were the new "wizards" of chemical medicine. A medical practitioner of today gets less than a couple of hours of instruction on the nutritional influence on disease during the more than 8 years of formal training required to wear the mantle of "Doctor- MD". And all but a very few in our society today are vaguely aware of what the nutritional and physical requirements are for the human body to function as it was intended. Degenerative and autoimmune disease states are the proof of our ignorance.
And the Pharmaceutical industry is here to help. But instead of intervening in emergency infectious conditions, the industry has migrated to another kind of relief for disease states. The relief of symptoms, without amelioration. A willing public, Ignorant of the bio-physiological requirements of healthy life, eagerly presents itself to big Pharma to have their bodies pleas for help (symptoms) silenced. In the past, symptoms were rightly considered "red flags" that signaled a body in trouble. Regimes of intervention were developed to readjust the body and eliminate the offending condition, returning the body to its proper physical and biochemical state. Today, we pop the latest symptom reliever and now we can "dance all night" on knees that are grinding into arthritic oblivion, soon to require surgical replacement with a plastic counterpart. Our society has abdicated the God given responsibility to heal ourselves and has granted that responsibility to the medical profession. A profession trained by Big Pharma and financed by our ignorance.
There is still much to learn, but now more than ever, a person can accept responsibility for their own state of health. Armed with current and developing research information, anyone can make a significant difference in their state of health now and into the future. It is no longer necessary to fear the day when a heinous disease will "find" you and compromise your quality of life, or end it altogether. By actively applying known information, you can now live the vibrant life that your body was designed to experience. You can largely forego the physical, emotional, and financial expense of most of the disease conditions that have become common place in today’s society.
Of course, information is only beneficial if it is used. It has been our observation over the last 30 years that most people are in their current condition because of life style and habit. Most people want a "quick fix" to their health problems so that they can get back to living as they have been. A lifestyle built on years of habit and ignorance of sound principles, and an indulgence in what tastes and feels good. It has been our experience that when supplied with vital health giving information, most people are not motivated to internalize the information and act on it. Instead, they smile politely and seek a less demanding answer. They want the Doctor to be responsible for supplying the "fix" to their problem. They want him to reach in his bag of secret formulas and make them better. Personal accountability is not in their heart. Thus, they contribute to the continuing "mystery" of health and disease. With information comes responsibility, so they avoid the effort of "knowing". This web site is not for them.
This site is for those that clearly desire to know how to avoid the medical merry go round that covers up the causes of illness with chemicals that bury the problem under temporary symptom relief. This site is for all who want to take control of their physical destiny and give their bodies everything they need to provide abundant health. This site is for those that realize that today’s healthcare system is really a "sickness management" system, and they want to be free of it. This site is for those that want to take control of their physical destiny and to share the news with other like minded individuals. To those people, Heathway’s Foundation welcomes you.
