New Life Through Nutrition

by Dr. Sheldon Deal 1974

Health is that state of body and mind in which the body is not consciously present to its owner, as distinguished from dis-ease. It is a state in which it is a joy to think, to feel, to be and to see. In attempting to ascertain what determines health, we should purposely aim high and consider the ideal in bodily health. This ideal can only be reached when we are taught how to live life healthfully. There is no reason why we shouldn’t constantly strive to reach this state. Doctors have worked with and studied disease for so long that many of them have really lost sight of what good health means. How to become normal and stay normal has very little to do with the treatments of disease used today. To be healthy we must have a clean and healthy bloodstream, the tissues must be clean, and then there should be no worry about disease.
