We offer seminars in our medical center that are aimed at imparting medical information that is basic to help people learn about their physiology. If you do not understand how a health body works how will you comprehend your problems if you develop them? More importantly, how does the body stay healthy? That is our focus.
A diagnostic test is not prevention, checking your blood pressure does not prevent anything, it detects something. Knowing your cholesterol count is not prevention, a colonoscopy is not prevention. These measures may be important but they are not PREVENTING anything, they are detecting something. What you DO about it is prevention. Or could be.
Disease sets in when some normal function goes wacky or there is a deficiency of something that is required for health. Your attention to learning basics things to keep yourself healthy will protect you as you age.
For instance, did you know vitamins and minerals are cofactors in chemical reactions in the body? Did you know that if you have a deficiency of one of them a toxin can take the place of the required substance on a cell membrane and wreak havoc with your health. Not only will you suffer from a deficiency but now you have the problems the opportunistic toxin caused.
