The dictionary defines health as soundness of body or mind; freedom from disease or ailment.  Disease is a disordered or incorrectly functioning organ, part, structure, or system of the body resulting from the effect of genetic or developmental errors, infection, poisons, nutritional deficiency or imbalance, toxicity, or unfavorable environmental factors; illness; sickness; ailment. 

“Let names of all disorders be, Like to the limbs join'd on a tree; Work on the root, and that subdue, Then all the limbs will bow to you; So as the body is the tree” (Herbalist Dr. Samuel Thompson)

In the above quotation, Herbalist Dr. Samuel Thompson proposed that the tree represents the body.  The branches, on the tree, represent disorders or symptoms. Naturally, the quality of the soil, which is the underlying foundation, determines the type of branches that will be produced on the tree.  If the soil is healthy, then the tree is fruitful. However, if the soil or body is unhealthy, it is remarkable in alerting that there is a problem.  Furthermore, what we call disease (e.g. Cancer, Arthritis, HBP, etc.) is a manifestation of the body trying to correct an imbalance.  We can choose to address the underlying problem, by providing the body with the necessary tools to heal itself or suppress these symptoms by seeking instant gratification with prescription drugs. 

Unfortunately, choosing to suppress symptoms through surgeries or drugs, without looking at the root of the problem, will only weaken the body and additional symptoms will soon manifest.  “Either make the tree sound (healthy and good), and its fruit sound (healthy and good), or make the tree rotten (diseased and bad), and its fruit rotten (diseased and bad); for the tree is known and recognized and judged by its fruit” (Matthew 12:33).

The choices you make today can affect your tomorrow.  We encourage you to identify and eliminate behaviors/substances that have a negative effect on your body and create the ideal environment for your body to function so that you can experience better health today.
