In this lesson, we take a big-picture look at key issues that underlie most disease, and review verifiable healing principles.
Objective
Be clear on the differentiation of naming disease vs. resolving it, and be familiar with key issues that underlie most disease, including chronic stress and chronic inflammation, plus verifiable principles of healing, including specific lifestyle factors that restore the body’s natural healing forces.
