The Principles of Natural Healing
Dr. Martin Goldstein, D.V.M.
1. Disease is an absence of health and vice versa: health is an absence of disease. But health was here first.
2. Disease is a process used by nature in an attempt to get itself healthy.
3. Degenerative disease is not caused by nature. It is an aberration of nature (caused mostly by – in my opinion – man)
4. Cancer is nothing more than a severe aberration of nature manifested in and by the body.
5. Sickness is an excuse to get healthy.
6. Don’t mess with Mother Nature.
7. The mechanism for healing is already built into all individuals. Healing therefore occurs most rapidly when we realign with the natural laws governing that mechanism
8. Pure health is spontaneous healing
9. The immune system functions maximally and at peak efficiency in its totally unaltered state.
10. The degree to which we have to work toward health is directly proportional to the amount we have messed it up in the first place. Health is simple; disease brings in complexity.
11. Generally it’s not what you put into the body that restores health; rather its what you let the body eliminate.
12. Physically health isn’t everything, but without it, everything is nothing.
13. Food, including the necessary vitamins and minerals, was intended not to improve, but rather to maintain, the body. Therefore, the need for treatment reflects the degree to which the individual has strayed from nature.
14. The body does not have to degenerate or age nearly as quickly as we presume. Each body cell has the ability to replicate itself 100 percent, and the process should continue for longer than we currently expect if we minimize deleterious effects on the cellular structure. It is only what we choose to do to the body, both consciously and unconsciously, that leads to the premature aging we experience.
15. Genetic predispositions to disease are only predispositions, and do not have to manifest if health is maintained. Once a genetically predisposed disease condition appears clinically, it can be reversed, although with more difficulty, as a course toward health is taken.
16. Nature and the being itself are the true healers. The practitioner, in the guise of being the healer, is truly the guide. Or: Physician, heal thyself!
17. Nature uses disease to establish balance. Only when our bodies are out of balance are we subject to disease, and if we can just endure the natural healing process, the disease will soon abate having restored us to the balance that is optimal health!
18. In the holistic perspective, there is no such thing as coincidence.

Hurricane Preparedness Information

Be prepared this hurricane season....
Tips:
1. If it is not safe for you or your family to stay at home, it is not safe for your pet. When you leave, take them with you.
2. Have appropriate restraints for pets such as collars, harnesses, leashes, crates, and carriers.
3. Pack 5-7 days worth of food, treats, bowls, medications, etc.
4. Be sure to bring pick-up bags, paper towels and pet-safe disinfectants for bathroom stops and accidents.
5. Be sure all pets are wearing current identification, contact information and rabies tags.
6. Take a picture of all pets to identify them in case of separation.
7. Bring calming remedies for car rides, storms, anxiety from travel/new locations etc.
8. If you decide to stay home, bring pets with you into an interior room along with supplies you may need during the period of time you will remain there.
9. After the storm, go out into the yard and check gates and fencing to make sure nothing was damaged in the storm. Survey the area for any other dangerous items before letting them back into the yard.
