11 May 2011: I recently came across the below list of precepts that were an outcome of The Jerusalem International Conference on Integrative Medicine, October 2010. I particularly like this list as it closely represents my own beliefs on health and wellbeing and therefore the basis on which I run my kinesiology practice.

The human being is a micro-cosmos on the planet.
The human being is a triangle of body, soul and spirit.
Treating the reason/source of the disease, not the symptoms.
Treatment of the patient is done on an individual basis.
The body’s organs are connected to each other - physically and energetically.
Homeostasis is a state of health and harmony.
Heterostasis is a state of sickness or disharmony.
Micro-organisms are not the cause of disease.
The vital force is the energy that leads the human being and the planet.
This energy flows in the body’s meridians.
The body has its own capabilities to cure itself. This is the wisdom of the body.
A disease is a red light to check our ways of living.
A state of sickness is when there is a block in the body’s energy flow.
A holistic treatment strengthens the homeostatic state. Brings back the vital force. Opens the meridian blocks.
All nature acts together in harmony.
Most causes of disease are in the human soul and spirit.
In nature we have all our needs, foods and remedies.
A remedy has to totally cure the human being.
A remedy should not have any negative side effects.
Nutrition is the main issue in health and disease.
Keeping natural living habits prevents disease.
Guided imagery has the power to keep the body healthy and to cure disease.
Prayer, belief and hope are key issues in health and curing disease.
Everything that happens inside the body is reflected outside of the body.
Meditation and relaxation - for cleaning the soul and spirit.
Intuition is the leading capability of the human being to act properly.
Love is the best remedy - it cures almost all diseases.
