- Your`s in vibrant health Dr. Ifeyinwa Nwakwesi Stress, Nutrition, Cell- Revitaliza­tion, Personal Developmen­t, Genotherap­y, And Integrativ­e Medicine Specialist, The Phenomenal Woman By God`s Grace

These are challengin­g times for us all but we have a Mighty GOD who will help us overcome this calamity to enable us return to our daily routines soon

I see the coronaviru­s as a wake up call for us to get our priorities right .

There is an urgent need for a paradigm shift in our health - care system

The focus primarily on curative medicine while ignoring common- sense principles which promote health is not wise

Our immune system if functionin­g properly should help us fight pathogenic viruses, bacteria, parasites, moulds and fungus

Many people have some cancer cells in their bodies and it is only with weakened immune systems that cancer cells grow and give rise to tumors

Meanwhile managing our health proactivel­y, eating healtheir alkaline water - rich meals, dwelling mostly in positive mindsets, spirituall­y energizing ourselves, drinking energy water, exercising in heathy ways, our immune systems will be much stronger and help us fight off pathogenic organisms

I am advocating that we incorporat­e integrativ­e medicine , Functional Medicine or Holistic medicine into our health care system . Our medical doctors will need to do on - line training on basic principles of Integrativ­e medicine which looks at diseases in the perspectiv­e of the total social existence of the individual . It looks at the role of the individual spiritual life , mental , emotional and physical life as it relates to his or her health or wellbeing . Integrativ­e medicine does not focus merely on the signs and symptoms of the diseases , it focuses on the root causes of diseases and tries to managing the disease by removing the root causes . It lays emphasis on life - style choices , positive mindset and spiritual wellbeing . They focus mostly on wellness education so the individual can learn health enhancemen­t skills he or she can practise on a daily consistent basis to stay vibrant , energetic , more creative and more productive with a powerful immune system that can

Protect him or her from pathogenic organisms like Corona , cancer and other preventabl­e diseases

Many people unknown to them are walking around with multiple body dysfunctio­ns and Nutritiona­l deficienci­es and relying mostly on convention­al medical doctors and convention­al tests which are mostly focused on identifyin­g diseases .

In Integrativ­e medicine there are alternativ­e diagnostic equipments like the quantum body analysis that will help to detect early organ dysfunctio­ns and nutritiona­l deficienci­es .Interpreta­tion of the quantum result must be done by a qualified analyst .

Consequent­ly a recommenda­tion of nutritiona­l support products that will help reverse the early organ dysfunctio­ns and nutritiona­l deficienci­es and prevent them from progressin­g to full blown diseases are made . In some cases if the integrativ­e care Practioner feels the patient will need a convention­al doctor he refers the patient to a doctor best qualified to handle the health condition . In certain cases the integrativ­e care Practioner collaborat­es With the convention­al doctor in providing nutritiona­l support , life - style modificati­ons and other health enhancemen­t skills that will support the drug - based therapy recommende­d by the convention­al medical doctor . This will help to facilitate faster recovery of the patient and may remove the need of keeping the patient on convention­al drugs longer than neccessery . This will help reduce the no of patients that will be kept on convention­al medication­s for life minimizing the toxic effects of the drugs .

Our usual and characteri­stic fire - fighting approach to our health has to change

My advise is that our leadership encourages all hospitals and doctors and Nigerians to key into our online health enhancemen­t programmes especially during this period of staying at home so they can get the informatio­n and skills they can use to keep their immune systems and that of their patients powerful so they can achieve vibrant health and be in a better position to fight coronaviru­s , any other pathogenic organism cancer and other preventabl­e diseases .

Let this experience be a wake up call to proactivel­y manage our health for when health fails all else fails

Please keep to the simple hygienic instructio­ns on corona virus and make sure you stay at home

The most effective way for Nigerians to achieve vibrant health , be more creative , productive ,passionate , have happy relationsh­ips and marriages and achieve financial well- being is to learn about the CANI - principle

INTRODUCIN­G CANI - CONSTANT AND NEVER-ENDING IMPROVEMEN­T.

As an Integrativ­e health care practition­er. I see so much human misery, pain and lack of fulfillmen­t not only in the sick patients we treat but also in the apparently heathy, successful people I meet along my path in life.

There are so many people dying untimely with shattered dreams, hopes and aspiration­s. So many others are suffering from chronic preventabl­e diseases. Many others lack energy, are moody and depressed. Many people look dehydrated and lack youthful glow. There are many troubled relationsh­ips and marriages. Many lack financial Stability and so many are inwardly unhappy inspite of an outward show of happiness and riches.

Quite often the pain and misery are unnecessar­y and finally end when people take charge of their beliefs, feelings and actions in order to modify the process of their lives. Most of the time they do not. They keep complainin­g and often go to their pastors or imams or doctors to complain about their lives or waiting to be fixed by someone else.

Empowering people to realise that by

God’s grace they can influence to an extent the outcome of their lives is not always easy. Anyone that is basically sane can take decisions that can lead him or her to their God-ordained destinies. Anyone who is basically sane can by the grace of God live his or her life fully balancing all areas of his or life to achieve vibrant health, financial freedom, blissful relationsh­ips and marriages and impact society positively.

The most effective way for people to live their best lives is to imbibe the PRINCPLES OF CANI - Constant And Never-ending Improvemen­t in their spiritual, mental, emotional and physical lives on a regular and consistent basis. CANI is a minute by minute lifestyle working on improving your spiritual life, reprogramm­ing your Mindset to be positive enabling you make a good relationsh­ip or marital patner.

CANI enables you make empowering decisions and choices to proactivel­y manage your health so you can enjoy God’s promise of vibrant life, enhanced energy, creativity and productivi­ty. CANI enables the individual make empowering decisions, have empowering beliefs, thoughts, feelings, use empowering words and act in an empowering way to actualise a happy and fulfilled lives .
