Lifestyle Management -- an introduction to Wellness

by Rtn. Lama Shree Narayan Singh

"We make doors and windows for a room;
But it is these empty spaces that make the room livable.
Thus, while the tangible has advantages,
It is the intangible that makes it useful."
Tao Te Ching

The inherent beauty and strength of the scientific temperament lies in its willingness to accept change. Thus learning and growing continues as an unending process. Science continually discovers new features about life, adding to its vast repository of understanding. Variegated perspectives have developed over the millennia, each relevant in its own sphere. They mutually complement the others to create that vast experience termed human knowledge. Individuals are blessed with limitations! These are essential for one's foundations which then provide a sound basis and impetus for searching the unknowable in order to make finite elements of the infinite known to others. Clearly it is not possible for a single person to know everything -- an attribute ascribed only to divinity! Within this framework there exists no room for scotosis, defined as a hardening of the heart and mind.

In India, the ancient system of healing is known as Ayurveda, the science of longevity. Similarly in China has evolved over many thousands of years, that which is now known as Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has also been the progenitor of acupuncture and acupressure with its current variant known as Su-Jok created by Dr. Park Jae Woo of South Korea. The Unani system derives from the wisdom of the Middle East. Tibetan Ayurveda is an amalgam of various influences, particularly suited to high altitudes. Europe too has its ancient lore of herbs and minerals which has formed the basis for modern medicine. Two centuries ago, Dr. Hanneman evolved a revolutionary system of treatment he termed homeopathy. In India naturopathy is also accepted widely. Somatics is a new age system of healing using body work, conceived of in the USA in the eighties and practised there.

The previous century has seen the blossoming of allopathy or modern medicine based on modern science. More recently nutrition and immunology have come increasingly into focus. Each of these disciplines continue to contribute immensely to the welfare of humanity. This would be one of the principal reasons for the prestigious Harvard School of Medicine in the USA to have established a chair for the study of alternative therapies about a decade ago. It is clearly an acknowledgment by science of the validity of systems it may not necessarily yet understand. Given this vast variance of knowledge, it is clearly impossible for any one person to know all that is to be known of the complex phenomena termed life! At best one is a mere infant in the lap of the universe, learning day after day from nature!

It is within this context that the term Lifestyle Management or Wellness, has evolved. It seeks to encompass within its folds the variegated nature of human knowledge, acknowledging the validity of each element of this complex matrix and their individual limitations, knowing fully well that that which may be applicable to the one may not necessarily be applicable to the other or to all. Each individual is physically, mentally and emotionally unique, the product of a particular series of historical processes. Moreover every person has one's own religious and spiritual perspective fully valid for that person which play a defining role.

The concept of Lifestyle, Holistic Health Management or Wellness is new and rapidly gaining acceptance. It includes a healthy lifestyle as generally understood but goes far beyond. Its fundamental concept is the empowerment of an individual to take care of one's own self on a regular basis with the least disruption to one's life and in a relatively inexpensive manner. It is an awareness of wellness aimed at managing spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health. As an industry, 'wellness' is tipped to be the next big boom after IT by financial gurus in the west.

The first person to package the term in the modern context was the American physician Dr. Halbert Dunn with his book High Level Wellness in the 1950s. Even though it took nearly half a century for his ideas to gain acceptance. The mushrooming growth of various network marketing systems concentrating on health products within the preceding decade is in itself testimony to it.

It is now commonly accepted that one can remain healthy through proper nutrition -- an intelligent use of nature's own products which gently nudge the human body to normal functioning. Grandma's herbal and home recipes are legendary to all civilisations. Nutrition moreover, has been dealt with extensively in every single medical science with varying degrees of emphasis. Ayurveda in particular makes it integral to any treatment. However, it is only now that it is emerging as a discipline in its own right. It is now also linked with immunology, the term Nutritional Immunology already patented in the US.

The fundamental concept is that each form of life has inherent within it, the capacity to care for itself. "All living systems are constantly self-renewing. They thrive on change. They are 'autopoietic' - the term that the Chilean neuroscientists Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela invented to describe the self-renewing nature of living systems. An autopoietic system undergoes continual structural changes while preserving its pattern of organisation." [excerpted from 'A Mature Spirituality for Today' by Father Jose Parapully, SDB, Vidyajyoti Journal of Theological Research Feb. 2004.

It is commonly understood that one's auto immune system is one's best internal physician. A properly functioning auto immune system serves as a strong defense against dis-ease. When a person enjoys good health, wholesome nutrition can assist in the prevention of sickness. Similarly an ill person may be assisted in recovery through proper nutrition and care. The focus here shifts to a trust in the natural processes and methods to stimulate them care for oneself. These in themselves are highly intelligent, complex and not fully understood. However they may be induced to function properly. This is perhaps one of the reasons as to why people a hundred years ago, who lived more in harmony with nature, led healthy lives!

Medical drugs are known to provide symptomatic relief. In many cases their use is imperative. During their use, various considerations come into play: 'Is the desired effect occurring?' 'Are there any side effects?' 'What is the precise dosage required?' 'Does this drub react negatively with others?' 'What are the contra-indications?' And so on!

The recent statement by Dr. Allen Roses, Vice-President of Genetics, GlaxoSmithKline, has recently stated at a conference in London that drugs prescribed by a doctor have merely a 30-50% chance of working. This raises alarm bells and needs serious consideration. Our approach to modern medicine thus needs to be critically re-evaluated in view of what he has said. 'Addressing a scientific audience recently in London,' the editorial continues, 'he claimed that most prescription medicines do not work on most people who take them ... An important consideration drug-therapy is the risk-to-benefit ratio of the drug, that is measuring its benefits against risks of proven side-effects....' HT, Patna, Editorial titled Hit-and-miss Drugs, Friday Dec 12, 2003.

The choice of wholesome food, proper nutrition, positive thinking and so on, allow the 'internal doctor' to function properly -- nature to continue its work unimpeded. Utilising the finest treasures harvested from the earth, it is possible to achieve a fairly healthy life style without detrimental side effects. Lifestyle Management or Wellness encourages the processes through which illness may be avoided as far as possible. It urges the individual to live proactively through proper nutrition including the use of appropriate seasoning, which will enhance the auto immune system and the enjoyment of a healthy body. The lack of proper essential nutrition is now associated with a weak auto immune system -- the inability of the body to fend for itself. When functioning properly, the auto immune system has the ability to combat dis-ease and overcome the constant attacks of environmental pollutants and toxins.

Body functions, from this perspective, are subsumed under the six parameters of detoxification, regeneration, balancing internal energies, enhancing the metabolism, regulating the endocrine system and boosting the auto immune system. These result in the change of one's biochemistry in which free radicals are constantly being neutralised. The blood is made alkaline, creating an environment which germs, virus and disease, simply do not find amenable to their presence and growth.

Thus select herbs may be used in one's food as also independently, to maintain good health and eradicate the root cause of any disease, be it a transient stomach disorder or one as severe as cancer or HIV. Tibetan Herbal Medicine has an exceptional track record in the treatment of cancer. The herb known as reishi or ganoderma lucidum too has the amazing ability of effectively enabling terminal cancer patients to return to good health. Many such have been widely documented through research.

In Japan, it is reportedly legally binding for cancer treatment to incorporate reishi as a supplement. The Tata Memorial Research Institute in Mumbai and the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Kochi, Kerala have both also started using reishi in cancer treatment on an experimental basis. The faculty at AIIMS and Apollo Hospitals are also reportedly becoming aware of its miraculous properties.

It has now been scientifically established that a regular intake of natural and organic supplements of phytochemcials, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, herbs such as goji, reishi, chlorophyll, ginseng, tahiti noni juice or morinda citrifolia, cactus extracts and spirulina amongst countless others, are also prophylactic. They act as powerful anti oxidants, neutralising free radicals to which are ascribed the cause for many a disease. They also exert a powerful therapeutic effect, resulting in the cure of many considered as chronic or incurable.

Vitamins are defined as organic substances essential for the normal functioning of the body. Apart from a few exceptions, vitamins cannot be synthesised by our bodies. They are necessary for our growth, vitality and well-being. Our body obtains vitamins, minerals and trace elements from organic foods and/or dietary supplements. Moreover the capacity to assimilate them from food reduces considerably with age. Such supplements are now the more necessary as it is not humanly possible for any person to maintain a balanced diet except in a very broad sense of the term.

People are now becoming aware that the food and drinks available in the market are laced with tiny amounts of toxicity. These derive from the widespread use of chemicals in agriculture which have also resulted in the poisoning of our aquifers, ponds, lakes, streams and rivers. Even the rapid disappearance of vultures, essential to ecology, has been traced to the use of chemical medicines in cattle. Similarly industrial wastes and raw sewage are being mindlessly allowed to flow directly into rivers. Solid waste is indiscriminately dumped wherever possible destroying the environment while becoming potential sources of disease.

The food processing industry too continues to introduce trace toxicity through processing. A glaring example of this is the process of refining sugar using sulphur. Trace amounts of sulphur remains behind, contaminating the sugar making it both acidic and toxic -- a principal cause for the emergence of various diseases. Sulphur-less sugar is now available in India. Another cause are the soft drinks fondly drunk by young and old alike. Analyses have revealed the deleterious effects their various components exert on the human constitution!

The entire genera of paan masala is banned in the USA as being carcinogenic. Similarly various other chemicals such as monsodium glutamate, MSG, is known for its cancer causing effects. Unfortunately the inordinate hype created through advertising by the food industry is hardly intended to improve the health of our peoples. Its sole aim is to make money for its principals, be it at the expense an individual's health. It can be stated with certitude that most fast foods available in the Indian market are low in nutrition but high in dis-ease causing substances.

The human body has a limited capacity to process toxins which decreases with age as the pituitary slows down. Clearly it is in need of assistance to continuously protect itself from these onslaughts. This is possible through the regular use of food supplements, a number of which have been the focus of exhaustive scientific research for decades.

The widespread use of plastics in the food industry, particularly bottled water, too is replete with its own problems. Not only does it burdens the customer with expense and health problems, it contributes drastically to the degradation of the environment. One series of research in the 1980s in western Europe, reported by the BBC World Service, found that pseudo estrogen compounds leach into food through synthetic packaging with disastrous consequences for males! The intelligent use of herbs has been found to be highly efficacious in the treatment of infertility of both sexes!

In India, it has been found that PVC containers used for storing blood for transfusion, contains a highly toxic chemical DEHP, which leaches into the blood to up to 0.15 gms per litre of blood from the plastic. The list of such mishaps is endless! Resultantly an ordinary person is left exceptionally vulnerable to technology as the concept of food grade plastic is still foreign to the Indian psyche!

It has now become commonplace for individuals to spend extended hours in controlled environments during most of the day and are thus unable to draw nurture from the sun. This is seriously compounded by irregular lifestyles, eating habits, enhanced levels of stress, anxiety and so on. Recent studies reveal that those working in call centres soon develop stress and insomnia due to working graveyard shifts for extended periods. Similarly, the stress resulting from high ambitions, performance and extended work hours are hardly conducive to a balanced life.

NASA has reportedly found that far infrared rays of the bandwidth of 4 - 16 microns are essential for human life. Thus has emerged through research, a composition known as bioceramics. This is a composition of thirty six minerals and oxides which, when warmed by the human body, radiates far infrared rays of the requisite bandwidth. Currently garments impregnated with bioceramics are readily available in India. Similarly research has succeeded in infusing energy from 'the first layer of the sun', termed bioactive energy, into solids and liquids which have tremendous applications in daily life.

In Kerala there exists an ancient concept of weaving the soft refreshing touch of herbs and shrubs into hand loom textiles. This art has been revived by the traditional craftsmen of Thumbod near Thiruvanathapuram. It was once exclusively applied for making robes for the royal families of Travancore and Madurai. The technique involves the use of colour extracted from herbs, leaves, fruits and roots to dye the yarn, totally avoiding chemical based colours. It is claimed by the weavers that the medicinal properties of the herbs will stay with the clothes for years without getting faded. The technique could also be applied to bedspreads and dressing materials in hospitals. The central govt. is taking this craft seriously with the Planning Commission offering financial aid to preserve and promote it.

A sedentary lifestyle coupled with undue exposure to electromagnetic frequencies or fields, emfs, or electrosmog, radiated by electronic and electric appliances, wiring and so on, merely compounds problems. Research is showing that the greatest offender is the ubiquitous mobile phone which continuously radiates emfs or electromagnetic frequencies or fields, affecting the human body directly where it is placed. The frequency of its emissions have been found to be similar to the natural frequencies of the cerebrum where it sets up resonance and imbalances nature's processes.

Yet other offenders are computers, TVs, video games and so on. Research has now found that prolonged and excessive exposure to them is particularly unhealthy. It is also unhealthy to keep them on standby. Besides consuming and wasting a trickle current of about 8% they continue to radiate emfs when not in use. It is however possible to counteract them through the use of bioactive energy. Products such as power touch and power stickers have been found to be highly efficacious in neutralising the harmful effects of electrosmog or emfs merely by carrying them on one's person or applying them on gadgets. They are also used to enhance the performance of car engines.

The use of metal furniture particularly beds is also not salubrious to health and certainly not recommended specifically by the ancient systems of vaastu and feng shui. Metal acts as a conductor for and disturbs the dynamic electromagnetic equilibrium of the body resulting in various forms of dis-ease. Similarly synthetic fabrics are not healthy in that they create and radiate positive ions.

An excess of negative ions in one's environment induces a sense of relaxation and well being, besides removing suspended air particles responsible for pollution. Professional climate control therefore incorporates negative ion generators which release them in the trillions. This is why one feels a sense of undue elation and relaxation as one enters a five star hotel.

Simply stated, alternative, complementary therapies are far less expensive than modern medicine. Neither do they require a disruption of one's lifestyle as necessitated during hospitalisation. They can be conveniently implemented in the comfort of one's own home! Many such therapies are known to affect the human body deeply producing long term benefits. It is also possible to effect cures of many diseases which may be designated as incurably by one system or another.

The combined result of the adverse circumstances stated above is the exponential growth of various diseases previously unknown, spreading throughout the country like wildfire, including a drop in male fertility. This is simply mind boggling. It has also been found that those engaged in ancient disciplines such as yoga, T'ai Chi, Falun Gong, meditation, spiritual healing and so on, tend to emerge as more balanced individuals. This is so as these disciplines train the right cerebrum; in contrast the modern education system trains the left.

The situation today is in direct contrast with the level of good health enjoyed by our predecessors barely a half century ago whose lifestyle was less complex, used fewer petrochemicals, lacked TV, was more in touch with one's culture, the divine and natural laws!

The logical answer to this predicament is the dictum 'prevention is better than cure'.

Lifestyle management is thus, an increasing awareness of wellness and methods enhancing it! It is accomplished through urging nature to heal its own self through simple techniques which are both prophylactic and also curative with the least disruption to one's life. Regular and intelligent use of select products together with positive thinking, a proper mental orientation, engaging in ethical business, learning positive methods of understanding of and working with emotions, developing a spiritual approach to life not based on personal filters, yoga, meditation and spiritual healing, can ensure to a large extent that imbalances in the body are corrected, potential dis-eases pre-empted and their users enjoy a regular and healthy life automatically.

It has been found that many diseases are actually effectively thrown out of the human body through the eradication of their root causes possible through lifestyle management. Integral to it is the diktat that an individual must keep one self warm in cold weather or climates. Ladies in the plains wear sarees in a way in which their midriff remains exposed to the weather. This is exceptionally deleterious for their health particularly in cold weather and a consciousness needs to be developed to deal with this. Both ladies and gents in the himalayas for example, invariably keep this portion warm, pre-empting dis-ease arising out of exposure.

The human body, as already stated, is autooieptic, i.e. it inherently possess the resources to rejuvenate, regenerate and protect itself. It is constantly in flux with millions of cell dying every minute and millions being simultaneously regenerated. The process of regeneration however, diminishes not only with age as the endocrine system slow down, but also due to the gradual build up of toxins within the body, undue stress and so on, resulting in internal imbalances and dysfunction. We need to trust in our capacity to heal ourselves rather than use chemical drugs for this purpose! For the vast majority of us, it is sufficient to urge nature to act as it should, through the use of simple and efficacious methods which are cost effective and do not entail a disruption in one's lifestyle.

Of particular importance are the problems faced by teenagers. During puberty hormonal flushes bring about mood swings and emotional upheavals in girls. Moreover, they also suffer from eruptions on their facial skin as also do adolescent boys. Regular use of select herbs such as reishi and chlorophyll will ensure that the process of maturity takes place smoothly.

Ladies need to take special care during pregnancies to ensure the proper growth of the foetus and the delivery of a healthy baby without intervention. Lactating mothers also need to ensure that infants receive the required nourishment through suckling. It is also important that muscles revert to normalcy after labour. Some experience scant menstrual flows while others experience excessive bleeding and uterine prolapse. The intelligent use of some of the herbs mentioned above together with other formulations used externally as douches have been found to be exceptionally nurturing as they automatically remove ingested and accumulated toxins from the system!

It is also known that secretions of the pituitary gland decrease with age after 30 dropping to as low as 20% or even less. This is one of the primary reasons for the symptom known as aging. It is common for people in the middle stage of their life to feel lethargic and experience as if their faculties are failing. This has been ascribed to the lack of required hormone levels in the body. Moreover, Dr. Deepak Chopra in his path breaking work, Ageless Body Timeless Mind, provides fascinating insights into the psychosomatic aspects of this process. It is true that while interacting with others, a person subconsciously accepts that one will age and die as countless others have done until now! Wellness provides the wherewithal through which one may age gracefully!

Whereas Hormone Replacement Therapy is now an established reality, it essentially entails the induction of the required hormones into the body. HRT does not induce the body to produce its own hormones as has been proven possible through herbs. Moreover the long term effect of HRT is still being studied!

The necessity of drinking good water in large quantities every day hardly needs to be emphasised -- it is crucial to life! Yet this is amongst the most neglected aspects of modern life! The best method extant of obtaining pure drinking water is through reverse osmosis. Units for domestic use are now freely available in India. Besides being more economical than purchasing mineral water it obviates the need to use plastic containers.

Bubbling ozone through water kill all the germs it may contain and also oxidises toxins which may be present in it and makes it alkaline. Such ozone generators are also available in India. Bioactive energy, BAE, too may be use to purify water through the use of a ceramic infused with BAE. Ceramic filters conforming to international specifications are also highly efficacious, particularly those impregnated with silver. The availability of silver ions in drinking water is said to be extremely good for one's health.

Detoxification of fresh fruit and vegetables can pose a challenge. The more commonly known methods are to soak them in a weak solution of potassium permanganate or hydrogen peroxide for a half to one hour. This may also be accomplished by bubbling ozone into a water in which they are being soaked for a half hour. This process oxidises toxins. Bioactive energy has also been found to be efficacious in this context!

All these products have been researched extensively. Chlorophyll has been studied for nearly a century now with three scientists having been awarded the Nobel Prize for their research. The search engine www.google.com lists nearly 180,000 sites on chlorophyll. Spirulina has grown into prominence over the preceding 3 decades having emerged reportedly as the 'space food' discovered by NASA, USA. Reishi has nearly 16,000 sites. Bioactive energy has also been studied and researched for two decades now.

The psychological aspect of dis-ease has come under increasing focus during the previous century. In her path breaking work "You Can Heal Your Life", Louise L. Hay has charted a simple programme by which a person may heal oneself through love, forgiveness, change of attitude and positive affirmations. This is also the core message of any spiritual tradition. Similarly ancient wisdom recast into the concept of 'enneagram', a formulation by Oscar Ichazo two decades ago, provides fascinating insights into human personality, health and compatibility. The new age magazine Life Positive now celebrating its eighth anniversary, published from New Delhi, continually deals with these pertinent issues every month.

The science of healing is thus moving towards the intangible and unquantifiable aspects of human life, making it far more flexible. Prayer and meditations with recitations of mantras have been traditionally employed for healing. The current decade is witnessing its resurgence. Hypnotherapy and past life regression therapy are both gaining acceptance for ameliorating the root causes of dis-ease. Other disciplines such as Neuro Linguistic Programming have gained acceptance in the Dept of Human Resource Development in MNCs for handling stress, dis-ease etc. Many such are actively conducting programmes for their executives to nurture and enhance their sense of wellness which includes stress relief, prevention of attacks of anxiety and other imbalances.

Similarly the healing quality of music is being studied both in India and abroad. Their spiritual and healing content is being focussed upon. In India ragas have variously been designated for the amelioration of specific conditions of dis-ease. The maestro Pt. Jasraj maintains for example, that there are ragas which can bring back people from the brink of a nervous breakdown. Raag Gorakh Kalyan controls blood pressure. Raag Darbari cures insomnia. Yaman is good for the digestive system. Similarly select classical works by western composers are known for their healing effects.

An entire genre of music known as 'hemi-synch' has been extant in the west for a few decades. This seeks to synchronise the two cerebral hemispheres and thus establish balance in an individual. Technology dealing with alpha and theta wave brain frequencies, linked to feelings of serenity and well-being, are now being used successfully to promote wellness. Spiritually inspired new age music too can work wonders.

Systems of spiritual healing such as reiki, pranic healing, shamanic healing, the Melchizedek Method and so on, are gradually gaining wide acceptance. In Europe licenses are issued to certify skills in spiritual healing. Healers are then permitted to legally practise and charge for their services. The Philippines, a catholic country, has an ancient and varied tradition of healing accepted by the general populace. Anyone who has personally witnessed psychic surgery will be amazed to see its efficacy.

The spiritual component of life too is being proactively addressed by medical research. An improper motivation makes one unable to differentiate between that which is wholesome for one and that which is not! The basis of ethics in any society is not only to regulate it but to care for the welfare of the individual as well. The current emphasis on the generation and accumulation of wealth irrespective of the means, has been proven over the millennia to be counter productive. Natural laws themselves ensure that justice is done in one way or another. One may call it karma, divine retribution and so on and widely exemplified in the literature of various religious traditions. In fact Mr. L. J. Goddard, OBE, Rector, St. Paul's School, Darjeeling 1934 - 64, had been extremely fond of telling the school: 'You can have anything you want says God, but you must pay for it!' Could this be the principal reason that people tend to suffer more currently? The late business magnate Dhirubhai Ambani was suffering from diabetes, heart problems and so on which made it impossible for him to lead a normal life!

A very large number of people believe that religion is confined to mere observance of external rituals, bathing in rivers, doing or sponsoring pujas, visiting temples, darshan of holy men and so on. This is a legalistic and mechanical view which has limited benefits. The lay person is mistakenly given to believe that merely by fulfilling one's religious obligations one is absolved from one's negative deeds -- that one may be as unethical as one wants and yet intercessions to the divine will miraculously negate the consequences of one's deeds. And then of course is the ubiquitous statement that this is what destiny or God had in store for us which seeks to pass on the responsibility away from one's own self!

Even a perfunctory analysis will show that this approach is logically flawed even though widely practised. God certainly helps those who help themselves in accordance with natural laws. Fortunately a paradigm shift is now taking place ushered in by many noble personalities who are stressing the need to go beyond external observances to the core of spiritual practices i.e. a change in heart and lifestyle. This requires that both the religious and lay people actually embark on a concerted effort to educate their following as is now being done variously. Many serials on TV are currently highlighting the pain and suffering caused to others by highly motivated selfish people who in their own turn suffer tremendously. Surely there are lessons to be learnt from them and applied in our daily lives! The media is so pervasive that it leaves sub conscious imprints on the human psyche and creates possibilities for self-improvement!

It is in this context in particular that an alternative to what is understood as contemporary business mores is highly pertinent! Rotary International is itself testimony to the healing effect of networking -- groups of people coming together across the globe with a shared vision embodied in the Four Way Test! Similarly network marketing of health products, promotes not only health, but also an inordinate amount of trust, goodwill, human cooperation and camaraderie. The message reverberates loud and clear: it is no longer necessary to exploit others to viably sustain our own existence! People can live together in harmony helping each other and still make money beyond their wildest imagination! This is being repeatedly proved through various success stories!

It is therefore necessary that an individual seeks to adopt viable perspectives on one self, one's life, family and society directed towards the welfare of the oneself and others -- the spirit of Rotary! It is in this context that disciplines such as Vipassana, Art of Living, Yoga and T'ai Chi, Falun Gong amongst many others, are proving to be useful.

Any article on this subject would be incomplete were it not to include the ancient systems of geomancy known as Vaastu in India and Feng Shui in China. In the State of California, USA, a legislation has recently been introduced for consideration which would require the state govt to adopt standards in accordance with the principles of Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of promoting health, harmony and prosperity through properly structuring the environment. This is an attempt to harness nature's intrinsic energies to deal with the massive $15 billion deficit in the state.

Clearly there is a new awareness of Wellness and hope spreading throughout the world and we are all part of it! This is precisely what Lifestyle Management is!

'The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient, while nature cures the disease.'
