“Doc’s Philosophy on Health, by Joe Elliott”
bullet

Nutrition at the cell level, is nature's main defense against degenerative disease.

bullet

The closer you eat your foods to their natural, ripe stae, the healthier you'll be.

bullet

Health is much more than the absence of pain.

bullet

Your body is not programmed to develop disease.

bullet

Every response of the body is either normal, natural, or necessary

bullet

Age is no excuse for disease.

bullet

Germs can't insist if the cells can resist.

bullet

You can never eliminate enough symptoms to correct the "cause" of your symptoms (but e.g.: don't let a house burn down just 'cause you want to find the cause only).

bullet

The intelligence that made your body, runs your body.

bullet

"You are what you eat", is too simplistic. You must also digest, absorb, transport, metabolize, and excrete efficiently.
