The Healthy Body

 by Dr. Nance MacLeod

“Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack.”   Henry Miller 1891

Health is NOT merely the lack of disease. Health is a balanced state of inner joy and freedom to grow, evolve, and develop in order to manifest our highest potential. Health is also harmony with nature and feeding our body only what nature has for us.

We have a powerful healing system within us. Our body is complex and will give us signs and signals when something is wrong and needs attention. When we ignore these signals further trouble in our bodies will manifest. If we attend to these signals naturally our body will thrive.

Many people believe that as we age, our health will decline. If you believe that is true then it will be true for you. However if you believe it is not true and you take good care of your health, then you will age with grace, ease and have an excellent quality of life right into your golden years.

Some of you are thinking right now that you have seen it first hand.  As your parents aged you watched their health decline.

Some of you may say it is happening to yourselves right now.  I believe it doesn’t have to be that way. The ancient Aztecs, and many other ancient peoples have proven that. There are many ancient peoples who lived healthy long active lives to ages as high as 250 years old. They all lived as part of nature and took very good care of their bodies.

Today, in my opinion, our health deteriorating with age is mostly from past abuse and not listening to our bodies. We do not have the obvious warning lights like a car does on its dashboard, and if we did, would we ignore them anyhow and just keep moving?

Here are some signs to watch for:

•  fatigue


• lack of energy


• poor memory


• constipation


• cravings


• poor sleep


• mood swings


• weight gain


• bloating


• skin issues


• loss of hair


• weak nails


• bad breath


• infections


•  strange taste in your mouth

If we had these warnings sign on the dashboard of our cars, would we ignore them? Is the health of our car more important than the health of our body?

If our car stops running efficiently, we always find the money to fix it.  We will spend $300 or more to put our car on a computer to analyze what might be wrong with it.  Yet, when it comes to our own health, we let it go until there is almost no return to a healthy, vital, high quality life. Why is that?

Now we can do the same for the human body as we do for our car. At my clinics, I have introduced the Electro Interstitial full body health scan to our natural medicine physicals. The EIS scan system is a new, scientifically validated, total body health scanning device that allows Natural Medicine Doctors to quickly and non-invasively estimate the health status of the major organs of the body.  This helps us make better decisions for your treatment.

The EIS system gives your doctor a 3-D Body Image & Complete Evaluation of:

• All body systems including functional risk analysis


• Interstitial electrolyte, hormonal, neurotransmitter balance


• Body composition analysis BMI, lean mass, fat mass and hydration levels


• Interstitial pH showing body acid/alkali balance


• Oxidative stress potential

Computer generated therapeutic guidelines: 

• Further medical tests


• Personalized nutrition and micronutrition guidelines


• Adjunctive therapies

Objectively monitors: 

• Imbalances


• Pathologies


• Treatment effectiveness

Getting initial physical and regular follow up scans allows you to take control of your health, get to the root of any health problems, and find health issues in their early stages so they can be reversed quickly.  

As with your car and your house you will save a lot of money with general maintenance on your body.  The only difference it is easier to get a new car and a new house than it is to get a new body!  

Take care of your body and you will live in joy, great health and have lots of energy.  Here are some simple ways to take control of your health right now:

Eat in moderation

Eat a minimum of 60% raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds every day

Introduce super foods to your diet, like Chia, Raw Cacao etc

Exercise regularly, 20 minutes a day

Regularly meditate to relieve stress

Get a reflexology treatment once a month

Get proper rest.  Sleep 6 to 8 hours every night

Cleanse your body of toxins regularly.  Do not ignore your body’s signals

Get a complete Natural Medicine Physical once a year (should take about 90 minutes, and include a EIS health body scan)

Get a complete allopathic physical with your medical doctor once a year (should include blood tests, MRI’s, urine tests etc)

Have your vitamins and supplements tested regularly to make sure they are working for your health and not against it

The health of your body is like the foundation of your house.  Keep your body healthy and everything in life will become easier and more joyous and you will live life with vitality.
