When the discussion comes to preventative care, it’s important to note that right in our own backyards, we have a wealth of resources: fresh gardens, community organizations speaking on behalf of our health concerns (the Archimedes Movement), education for  patients founded upon basic preventive health models (the National College of Natural Medicine), and organizations researching the latest integrative forms of therapeutic approaches (the Helfgott Research Institute). All the while, each of these entities, leading the way towards a true definition of health; this definition is not only within our reach, but it’s worth the time to invest in medical models that get to the root of the dis-eases and work towards to an optimum –health- care system.
