Be Your Own Doctor of Health & Happiness: You Are a Miracle!

There is a common misconception that health is achieved by doctors and medicine. The word medicine should tell us the truth, derived from the Latin ‘medeor’ translates ‘I heal’, ‘I make whole. Modern medicine does not make whole but treats diseases.

For over seventy-five years the comprehensive medical service for every citizen, the NHS, has generated unsustainable demand, and not the universal health that was expected. This shocking outcome is principally due to a lack of understanding of what health is, and a remarkable lack of interest in this question by the medical profession.

This small book is a valiant attempt to take on this challenge, to begin to understand what health is, and how we can all promote it in our own lives. It would appear that governments cannot make us healthy, but that task rests with all of us. Only when we all have the knowledge, understanding and commitment to take more responsibility for our own health will we have the healthy and happy society we want for ourselves and our children.

You may be amazed or shocked by some of the ideas, inspired and motivated by others, and by the end of this book you might even accept the fact that you are truly a miracle!

I have spent over fifty years as a health worker searching for the answer to that simple question “What is health?” I hope this book will offer you some of the answers.
