My Vision for Natural Health
…We are at the threshold of a complete change in the field of medicine, which will have profound implications that reach far beyond health care. Natural health has already provided the foundation for a new paradigm. This paradigm is the driving force behind a movement toward global medicine, an eclectic pluralism of what works and what is cost effective.
…The body can heal itself because it is part of nature; it is a part of the pure consciousness and intelligence that is at the center of all creation. This holistic understanding will open the door for true healing, a healing that transcends the body and reaches to the farthest corners of our planet. In the natural health that I envision, we will always remember how far we have come, and we will always remember all the brave men and women who sacrificed so much to show us the way.
