True health is only possible when we understand the unity of our minds, emotions, spirits and physical bodies.

Nothing in our society-with the exception of violence and fear-has been more effective in keeping women in their place than the degradation of the menstrual cycle.

All over the world today, many girls still get the idea that their bodies are somehow not as good as a boy's body. These girls - who later grow up to be women with girls of their own - get the message that they are weaker in spirit, not worth educating, somehow cursed because of their menstrual cycle, and so forth.

Celebrate every relationship you've ever had. For better or worse, your relationships are your best teachers.

Those who think of themselves as healthy are indeed healthy - no matter what is really going on with their bodies.

The exceptional patient is the person who, despite their diagnosis, takes charge of their health and decides to be responsible to their illness or their condition and not necessarily feel responsible for it. One stance is drenched in blame and the other is full of power.

I have always liked working "upstream" long before health problems hit the body.
