work to provide nutrients one's body needs to function optimally and
treat disease.

effective when used properly to nourish and enhance the healing capacity
of the body.

and animal substances stimulate the healing systems of the body.

and other nutrients can lead to suboptimal health. Nutritional
supplements correct or optimize the levels of various nutrients in the
body and can have a therapeutic effect in the prevention and treatment

helpful in alleviating or correcting hormone deficiencies.

and emotional states can be important elements in healing and disease.

comprehensive approach in the prevention and treatment of illness.
Exercise reduces the effects of stress and improves the function of the
immune system and other healing systems of the body.
