Chronic Disease Most Preventable
According to the Institute of Medicine, Regarding
the Treatment of Chronic Conditions,
“Behavioral and Social
Interventions.…
Offer great promise to reduce
disease morbidity and yet their
potential to improve the public’s
health has been Poorly Tapped.”
 A large body of evidence suggests that cruciferous
vegetables contain phyto-chemicals that may help reduce
cancer risk.
 Dithiolthiones and isothiocyanates (broccoli) seem
to increase the activity of enzymes involved in detoxifying
carcinogens.
 Indoles appear to alter the metabolism of hormones in
ways that may help prevent or reduce the growth of
hormone sensitive tumors. www.healthyeating.ucsd.edu
The Doctor of the Future will give
no medicine, but interest his (her)
patient in the care of the human
frame, in diet, and in the cause
and prevention of disease.

Dearest Body of Mine,
After careful thought and consideration, I hereby promise to:
Accept you and be grateful for you just the way you are
Love and appreciate you for what you do
Offer you health foods and drinks
Overcome the addictions that hurt you
Realize that laughter, play, and rest help you feel good
Exercise regularly and appropriately for my body type
Adorn you with nice, comfortable clothes and shoes
Understand that my unexpressed emotions and thoughts affect you
Listen to the messages you are sending me when you are tired or sick
Accept that I have the power to heal you
Realize that you deserve to be healthy
Honor you as a temple of my soul
I love you so much,

Five Universal Ideals or Principles
I - Just for today, I will not be angry.
Anger at others or oneself or at the whole world,
creates serious blockages in one's energy
It is the most complex inner enemy
Reiki is an excellent tool to remove anger blockages
which have accumulated in the body over years,
but it cannot remove the residue of
current anger which occurs daily
Letting go of anger brings Piece into the Mind
II - Just for today, I will not worry.
While anger deals with past and present events, worry
deals with future ones
Although worry is not always a negative phenomena,
endless worries may fill one's head, and each one
bores a small hole in one's body and soul
While anger requires a focused Reiki treatment to
remove obstacles, worry requires the energy to be
spread throughout the entire body
Letting go of worry, brings healing into the body
III - Just for today, I will be grateful.
Be grateful from your heart inward.
Inner intention is the
important element in this principle.
Simple things as thanks,
forgiveness,
smile, good words,
gratitude can improve others life
and make them happy.
Being thankful brings Joy into the Spirit.
IV - Just for today,
I will do my work honestly.
Support yourself and your
family respectably,
without harming others.
Earn a respectable living,
live a life of honor
Working Honestly brings
Abundance into the Soul
V- Just for today,
I will be kind to every living thing.
Honor your parents, honor your
teachers, honor your elders
Being Kind brings
Love into the Will
The Characteristics of a
Spiritual Being
Being here and now,
Connecting to Mother Earth.
Transcending or going beyond here & now
Connecting to our Higher Power.
Belonging
Nurturing and Loving Life
Being Free to be the “I Am” in Myself.
Healing
Healing is a process
and not an event.
Healing is possible.
