We need total health more than medically approved health. Our wellness should not be limited to our doctor's experience, but enhanced by our own experience.

We can take more time and interest, and give more attention to our personal health than a hired professional can. We have learned to go get medical help, not to give it. We have learned to relay our body's needs to another, not to provide them ourselves.

If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This especially includes your health care.

Good health makes a lot of sense, but it does not make a lot of dollars.

Much of the fear of doing something wrong vanishes when we are knowledgeable about what we are doing.

Self-care means accepting some risk, and accepting much responsibility. It is not for all people or all cases.

It's unreasonable to expect medical doctors and pharmaceutical companies to tell you how to avoid their services by trying the alternatives.
