Building Your Own Health
Think
of your health as a dream house that you are
at last free to build, a home that will shelter
you for the rest of your life. Imagine for a
moment that Dr. Price is the master designer
and teacher who spent a lifetime studying homes
throughout the world to learn the fundamental
principles of house construction, principles
which if followed will enable the home to be
sturdy and beautiful. Imagine that your mentor
is the architect who has learned what Dr. Price
has taught, and learned from you just what you
want and need, and prepared for you a marvelous
set of blueprints – a detailed plan with
which to build.
But imagine
too in our little game that the rules say that
only you can be the builder. To make the dream
real you must act. To build your dream house,
you would need to find the carpenters, the stone
workers and artisans to construct the various
elements and bring them together. You would
need to learn new things and coordinate the
work of many other people. It might be difficult.
But you could do it, certainly, if, say, your
life depended on it.
Building
the house of your health is not so different.
Here too you will need to learn new things,
adopt new disciplines, and coordinate the work
of others. You’ll need to find the food,
and perhaps even the people who grow the food,
to make the house of your health as beautiful,
as sturdy, and as fine as you would like. But
it shouldn’t be so hard – since
your life does indeed depend on it.
