Health is Wealth:
We have been brought up to believe in a certain set of ideas about wellness and disease.
These ideas have shaped how we live, how we maintain our health, how we deliver healthcare, and how we die.
Those ideas are not only misguided but are also fundamentally false and harmful to your health, finances, and quality of life. Learning the truth can dramatically improve your well-being now— and decades from now—and may well give you added decades to enjoy living.
The medical mythology myths are:
- Disease is inevitable as the human body ages, and we all inexorably progress from a state of health and vitality to one of disease and decrepitude.
- Disease is a separate state than the state of being in health.
- Once you have a disease, you are a fundamentally different being.
- Once disease takes hold, it’s just a matter of time before it “gets you.”
- The progression (or is it regression?) into more and more severe disease and disability is irreversible.”
Do you find yourself accepting, often without thinking about them, that these ideas are true? If so, you’re not alone
