“Natural Health — what is it?”

Do you know? I’ve heard many verbalize their perceptions.

These are the most common that are way off base:

 “You take something natural instead of a drug for a symptom or condition.”
(A new customer in a health food store might ask, “Do you have anything natural instead of aspirin, Tylenol or Ibuprofen?” They are looking for a supplement with little or no side effects.)

 “It is the food preferences, causes and practices of vegetarians, vegans, raw foodists and those going green.” Green Living
(I bet they didn’t know the differences between the groups they named either.)

 “It is an arena for quacks, unscientific postulations and phony baloney.”
(The greed-based rivalry between people offering different approaches and philosophies spans millennium; it’s still with us. Competitors in what is called the health arena continue mud-slinging. Technological advances, increased scientific research, and heightened public awareness have illuminated the great value of natural therapies.)

 “It is alternative health approaches rampant with occult or spiritistic practices masquerading under the heading of ‘new age.’”
(Personal belief systems, practices and modalities are embraced and incorporated into the realm of one’s individual’s profession. These vary from person to person.)

NATURAL HEALTH: A simple concept

Natural refers to what is in nature. We say our natural world, the natural universe, and the natural order of things. Leaves, blades of grass, trees, flowers, bees, the sun and rain are examples of natural things. The material universe excludes anything artificial, synthetic, or man-made.

The human body is composed of water, oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, magnesium and numerous other natural substances. Unaltered by man’s intervention, the human body would be classified as natural, and requires those things at molecular level from nature to subsist.

Health is a state or condition of wellness, vitality and life. It is not an approach in the business world which addresses sickness and disease. A healthy human body is balanced, energized, and functioning optimally as it is designed to do so. When unhealthy, processes are taking place that are throwing the body out of balance, diminishing energy and less-than-optimal function.

Natural Health recognizes the innate healing capacity of the human body. It is obvious everyone needs direction to know how to bring this about. It calls for an understanding and deep appreciation of what the body requires from our natural world.

Natural health education teaches wholism. A holistic view means seeing the whole picture rather than having tunnel vision. Every individual has important needs that must be met not only physically but mentally, emotionally and spiritually as well. If one is seeking spiritual guidance, that is out of the realm of what is natural health.

My Natural Health Expertise

To live healthy has been at the forefront of my priorities for as long as I can remember. Spending 12 years in the medical field brought a greater awareness of both the strength and fragility of the human body, but I did not learn what constitutes healthy living nor how to go about it.

When introduced to the concept of holistic nutrition at a lecture and a subsequent consultation, I immediately saw its application in my life. This brought major lifestyle changes and opened up an entirely new vista of understanding. It was a logical step from nutritional requirements to other important requirements for a healthy, balanced life. I diligently and eagerly researched an extensive array of natural health books, nutrition journals and articles daily. The burning passion to help others and the desire to make it my profession resulted in researching schools offering greater depths of knowledge. I received a degree in holistic nutrition from Clayton College of Natural Health.

Educating thousands of people over the years as a holistic nutrition consultant in health food stores, fitness clubs, and private practice has been a great joy. It was rewarding to teach holistic nutrition to students in an herbal college. I continue lecturing to numerous varied groups and organizations and delight at their eagerness to learn and follow-through. The greatest learning experience and teacher for me has been the response of the human body to a health-building lifestyle—one which includes all the requirements for life, naturally.

My Personal Beliefs

I am thankful I was raised to have a deep love and reverence for our Creator. The Psalmist in 139, verse 4 said:

“I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.” (AS)
