“We believe that health care should be more about proactively enhancing health and quality of life, rather than being based primarily around the treatment of symptoms and disease.”
The Wellness Paradigm
Symptoms and ‘diseases’ are signs that the intelligence of the mind-body is under stress and is being forced to try to adapt to an incompatible environment. Symptoms and illnesses are not indications that the mind-body is inherently prone to failures, they are signs that we are not providing the appropriate environment to support it.
The wellness paradigm addresses our body as an innately intelligent, self-governing, and self-regulating being. When we are exposed to the appropriate environment, we will express optimal health. The wellness model endorses a pro-active, deliberate approach to living, that encourages lifestyle behavioural patterns that ensure the provision of all elements considered essential for optimal cell function, while simultaneously avoiding those elements known to be inherently toxic to cell function. The objective is to observe, support and encourage nature – not suppress, manipulate or interfere with it.
In regards to a healthcare solution, altering the course of a crisis of this magnitude requires a fundamental change in thinking, via education. Our approach to the lifetime management of our collective health must shift from a treatment-based, crisis care model, to a pro-active, disease prevention, and wellness promotion model. This is both logical in theory and practical in application. The outcomes speak for themselves: when resources are invested on the front end of a healthcare effort, quality of life increases, health expenditures decrease, and everyone wins.
