\"download\"<\/a>After several years researching and writing about the concepts of health and healthiness, as opposed to illness, I have consolidated many of the concepts from this site (Healthicine.org<\/a>) and the sister site: PersonalHealthFreedom<\/a>,\u00a0into two\u00a0books, providing a foundation for the concepts of healthicine.<\/p>\n

The latest book Introduction to Healthicine: Theories of Health, Healthiness, Illness, and Aging<\/a>\u00a0is a summary of the concepts introduced in Healthicine, the Arts and Sciences of Health and Healthiness. \u00a0I am currently working to revise this book – which is now over 5 years old, and to write a new book on the word “cure”, which is consistently ignored by today’s medical science and medical practice. .<\/p>\n

Healthicine: the Arts and Sciences of Health and Healthicine <\/a>is the book that lays the foundation for exploration of the concepts of healthicine.<\/p>\n

Here is a preview of what you can find in the book, chapter by chapter:<\/p>\n

1 On Health – what is health? We normally study healthiness only through our attempts to fight illness.\u00a0 As a result we are, in a sense, blind to the actual concepts of health and healthiness.\u00a0 We meet Alice and Zizi,\u00a0two friends who\u00a0have no illnesses – but are not sure who is ‘healthiest’.<\/p>\n

2. The Foundations of Healthicine – the concepts of health flow from the concepts of life, from genetics through body, mind, and spirit – to communities. The study of health requires a ‘health’ perspective, and health goals, as opposed to an illness persective – and illness goals.<\/p>\n

3. Hierarchies of Function and Process – healthiness is not about balance, it is about balancing. Every component of our healthiness is continually working to find health through balancing.<\/p>\n

4. Signs and Symptoms – what are the signs of healthiness? What are the symptoms? We normally study signs and symptoms as if they were only indications of illness.<\/p>\n

5. Measuring Healthiness – how\u00a0might we learn to measure healthiness? What can we learn from measuring healthiness?<\/p>\n

6. Aging and Infirmity – what are the differences between unhealthiness, illness and aging? Is aging a disease? Is it an unhealthiness? How can we tell?<\/p>\n

7. Illness – what is illness? What are the causes of illness? What\u00a0are the relationships between healthiness and illness?<\/p>\n

8. Diagnosis – why is diagnosis so difficult? What\u00a0types of illness are most difficult to diagnose? What is the fundamental error, or omission, in many medical diagnoses?<\/p>\n

9. Preventing Illness –\u00a0what is the most effective technique to prevent illness? Does red wine make us healthier?\u00a0 How can prevention help us to better health, as opposed to ‘better illness’?<\/p>\n

10.How to Create and Improve Healthiness –\u00a0what are\u00a0the fundamental techniques we can use to create and improve healthiness?<\/p>\n

11.The Failing Edge of Modern Medicine – modern medicine works wonders and saves many lives, but there are situations where it fails miserably. What can we learn from this?<\/p>\n

12. The Arts and Sciences of Healthicine – where do we go from here? What do we need to do to develop the arts and sciences of healthicine?<\/p>\n

This is a book about Healthicine, a new field of study.\u00a0 It raises more questions than it answers.\u00a0 As we seek the answers to these questions, I hope we can raise our understanding to new levels, to find newer, more important questions.<\/p>\n

The medical view, limited by illness, has difficulty understanding healthiness and Healthicine.<\/p>\n

Medicine is blind to health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Medical professionals, both conventional and alternative, suffer from the same blindness.<\/p>\n

Health is whole.\u00a0 Health is honest. Health is true. It cannot be ‘tricked’ by medicines, nor medical sorcery. The most powerful, the most effective tool to fight illness is health. When health is improved, many illnesses simply fade away. Health can be improved before illness is diagnosed, it can be improved after illness is diagnosed, and it can be improved after illness has gone.<\/p>\n

The road to health is wide enough for all of us. I have done my best, in this book,\u00a0 to understand and communicate the depth and breadth, from the source to the surface, past illness, past wellness, to healthiness. This book is a first step down that road.<\/p>\n

ps. This is not a ‘self-help book’. The objectives of this book are to initiate an understanding of health and healthiness. I hope and believe this will serve to make our health systems and our medical systems more effective, and our battles against illness more clear, direct,\u00a0 honest, and frankly, less commercial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
