Health and Happiness

HEALTH AND HAPPINESS

"So closely is health related to our happiness that we cannot have the latter without the former." [i]

That health is a precious gift; is a personal conviction I cherish dearly. My father took ill with multiple complex degenerative diseases at the time of my secondary school education. He had stroke, cancer, diabetes and some other degenerative problems my mind could not understand back then. He took the nifedipines, the phenytoins and all the other expensive conventional medical drugs you could think of, but to no avail. He finally gave up the ghost in 2011 when I had just begun my national service. This certainly was a wake-up call for me. With my science background, I took an expedition into the study of various diseases, their causes and preventions.

I have met the allopath, the naturopath, the homeopath and all the other ‘paths’ you could think of. Many of these medical sciences can be greatly disconcerting. My search for a good healthy lifestyle has certainly been a long road, of which core point I share in this brief article. It is an astonishing fact that there are laws of nature, rules that summarize conveniently—not just qualitatively but quantitatively—how the world works. [ii]

It is somewhat laughable, that many in our world today even among the so-called elite think they can disregard the working physical laws of nature, and still enjoy good health. I shall endeavor to show you that there is a calculated engineering to keep you in gross ignorance, to slavish your mind, to keep you sick, and ultimately to destroy your life. The Jewish Rabi succinctly expressed this diabolic agenda when he said, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy" An ancient teacher has this fact well stated, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee". [iii]

I personally believe that the subject of health is an indispensable part of a long waged standing conflict between light and darkness, good and evil. Our victory consists in living well informed lives, taking responsibility of our health. The cosmos, animate and inanimate, operate under physical or natural law. Everything is subject to the laws designed for its place in the cosmos. No true science of the natural world could exist if the universe did not function in an orderly manner. Plants and animals grow and develop in their cycles in harmony with the laws governing their existence, just as the suns and galaxies move in their ordained orbits. If physical law were to break down, the natural world would collapse in chaos.

The same power that upholds nature, is working also in man. The same great laws that guide alike the star and the atom control human life. The laws that govern the heart's action, regulating the flow of the current of life to the body, are the laws of the mighty Intelligence. Only in harmony with this order of being can life find its true sphere of action. For all the objects of His creation the condition is the same--a life sustained by receiving the life of God, a life exercised in harmony with the Creator's will. To transgress His law, physical, mental, or moral, is to place one's self out of harmony with the universe, to introduce discord, anarchy, and ruin. [iv]

This is the foundation of disease and the genesis of human suffering. If only we can understand that there is a certain viable working principle in all forms of life, and that the laws of nature are the laws of God--as truly divine as are the precepts of the Decalogue, I am convinced we can eradicate all kinds of diseases from our bodies, and even completely reverse diseased bodies back to good normal health. This is true science; this is the will of God.

You may be musing: death is an inevitable reality. I concur straightway with you; but good health is not pursued merely for the sake of living long. You should have good health to pursue life’s endeavors without crippling, painful cancers, and long lived battles with manifold degenerative diseases. Margaret Anti, author of The Food War has this impressive piece in her book: "There are better ways to live and even to die. All depends on your lifestyle habits and choices".

In summary, it is nature that heals through the mighty power of God; and each individual’s body heals itself. You only need to know the simple truths about healing to eliminate diseases. Healing by the human body is very simple… There are general principles in life that can make us all healthy and happier. [v]
