The "Real Secret" to Health

Why is this important?

• Because the "real secret to health" is being
  ignored by our health-care system and we are
  suffering the consequences.
• We are using more and more medication, and yet
  people are getting fatter and fatter, sicker and
  sicker.
• What's worse is that medications are now
  estimated to be the fourth leading cause of death.

• It seems that we have reached the limit of our
  reliance on pharmaceutical, technological and
  other unnatural approaches to health, and it is
  now beginning to work against us.
• Nowhere are the failings of the modern lifestyle
  and health system more evident than in the Native
  Hawaiian community. Here, we have a microcosm of
  what is happening to the rest of America and the
  world.
• It is what I call the "Hawaiian Paradox". I call
  it a "paradox" because in the state where we have
  the best numbers for longevity, the Native
  Hawaiian people have the worst health in the
  nation.

The "Real Secret"

• To get a better idea of the spiritual and
  cultural perspective on health, I spoke to the
  elders and some of them were considered "Kahuna".
  The term kahuna literally means "keeper of the
  secret". Kahu means keeper and huna means secret.
  In general, it means "expert" or "professional".
  But in other circles, it means "Shaman" or
  "Healer". Legend has it that they could perform
  healing miracles.

• The success of the Hawaii Health Program is an
  example of the realization of some of this
  potential. I designed a health program based on
  these principles to reverse the obesity and
  chronic diseases in the Hawaiian community. We
  turned peoples health around - even those with
  very difficult health problems.
• People lost weight even though they ate more
  food. We got people's blood sugar, blood
  pressure, and cholesterol's down. We took many
  people off at least some if not all their
  medication.

• The program was so successful that it was
  published in scientific journals and won the
  highest national award from the US Secretary of
  health. As a result of the success of the
  program, we were featured in Newsweek and the
  Encyclopedia Britannica.
• I have been using these principles in private
  practice with people of all ethnic groups, with
  the same excellent results. This is a program
  that could be used and enjoyed by anybody,
  anywhere in the world.

The Secret Prophecy

• In doing so, you may become a part of the
  fulfilment of an ancient prophecy. Ancient
  healers in Hawaii and from elsewhere have felt a
  special spirituality in Hawaii. There is a
  healing spirit in Hawaii found in few other
  places. From the keepers of the secret, it is
  told that there is an ancient prophecy that
  Hawaii would become a world center for health.

An Invitation

• I invite you to use this book to apply the
  timeless principles of health embodied in
  traditional Hawaiian concepts through your diet
  and lifestyle and make them your own, at least in
  terms of your diet and lifestyle and strive to
  apply them to other aspects of your life. It is
  an important first step to healing ourselves, and
  healing the world.
