How to Achieve Optimal Health

Where does good health come from?

Many people do not know where optimal health comes from. We have been forced to believe that health comes from spending more money on drugs and surgeries to make us feel better. If this is true, then the United States should be the healthiest nation on the planet. We have the best medicine, the best doctors, spend the most on "health care," but we are not the healthiest nation. 

The truth is health comes from within each and every one of us. The answer is not at the bottom of a pill bottle or at the end of a scalpel. Health is controlled by your nervous system. If your nervous system functions at an optimal level throughout your life, you will have optimal health.

There are things that can interfere with you nervous system. They are physical stress, emotional stress, and chemical stress. These can all interfere withe  function of your nervous system and not allow your body to function at an optimal level.  The farther we stray away from optimal health the more sickness, symptoms, and disease are allowed to manifest in our lives.
