INTRODUCTION

L earning to stay healthy is a long journey to discover the secrets of a long healthy life here on earth and to prepare for the eternal life of everlasting happiness.

What are these secrets? The quote from the wisdom of my colleague, Dr. Lorraine Day, the former chief of orthopedic surgery at San Francisco General Hospital, a cancer survivor, gives us an idea who said If you really want to live a long life, and be there after your children and grandchildren, you need to change the way you are living, thinking, acting, eating and handling stress so you can rebuild your immune system, the one system in your body that can get you well and keep you well.

These are loaded words. But to attempt to discover the details may allow us to learn what we are looking for to achieve a long and healthy life and prepare us for eternal everlasting happiness.

I researched the voluminous materials in the internet and published works of scientists, clinicians, doctors and nutritionists. You will find their ideas and wisdom on the pages of this book. So let’s begin.

FOREWORD

I have known Dr. Awitan for many years. After a successful medical practice of over 50 years, he was introduced to alternative medicine and became an avid health researcher.

Having once been a doctor who was only concerned with treating symptoms of disease he has since turned his attention and his research to understanding the causes of chronic diseases, including cancer, as well as methods of reversing disease at the cellular level.

Although medical doctors are typically not taught anything about the prevention of disease, Dr. Awitan makes it abundantly clear that an ounce of prevention is much better than a pound of cure.

You will learn that toxins in the body are a major cause of disease and what can be done to avoid them. You will also learn about different nutrients that are needed by the body to allow the cells to function normally and to maintain a healthy immune system.

Dr. Awitan also talks about the power of faith and how prayers to God can relieve stress and bring healing to body, mind and spirit. He also expresses the importance of reading the word of God and how the Bible is filled with many healing scriptures that will increase a person’s faith if they take the time to read and reread them.

Dr. Awitan says that the world at large is in a global crisis of people dying from chronic diseases because the mainstream medicine and healthcare industry use drugs to treat symptoms and they do not address the cause of disease or the prevention thereof.

Dr. Awitan will also tell you about a number of unique health products and how to get them. Having used these products himself and recommended them to family and close friends, he is confident that they can also help you have better health, the same as they have for so many others.
