Health and vitality is a consequence of choice?just like sickness and disease. When we begin?to see the truth that cancer, heart dis-ease,?diabetes, depression, heart attack, stroke,?low energy, pain, obesity, etc., are the
consequences of lifestyle and dietary choice?then maybe we will begin to stop doing cancer,?heart dis-ease, diabetes, etc. with our personal lifestyle?and dietary choices.
As stated so eloquently by Robert Louis Stevenson,?"There will come a time when we all sit down to the?banquet of our consequences."
"The cure for all sickness and dis-ease, including cancer will be?found in its PREVENTION NOT in its TREATMENT." Dr. Robert O. Young.
"If you want to be healthy, energetic and fit then you have?to make lifestyle and dietary choices that will bring?you those consequences," states Dr. Young.
"Life is all about choices that lead to consequences. ?We can choose health or we can choose sickness and?disease. With each thought, with every move, with?each word spoken and with every food or drink?ingested we determine the quality and quantity of?our life," warns Dr. Young.
And, now for our story . . . . . .
On the morning of his 42nd birthday, Crabwell Grommet?awoke to a peal of particularly ominous thunder.?Glancing out the window with bleary eyes, he saw?written in fiery letters across the sky: "Someone?is trying to kill you, Crabwell Grommet!"
With shaking hands, Grommet lit his first cigarette?of the day. He didn't question the message. You don't
question a message like that. His only question was,?"Who?" At breakfast, as he salted his fried eggs,?he told his wife, Gratia, "Someone is trying to?kill me."
"Who?" she asked with horror? Grommet slowly stirred?the cream and sugar into his coffee and shook his?head. "I don't know!" he replied. Convinced though?he was, Grommet wasn't going to the police with?his story. He decided that his only course of action?was to go about his daily routine and hope somehow?to outwit his would be murderer.
He tried to think on the way to the office but the?frustration of making time by beating red lights?and switching lanes occupied him wholly. Nor once?behind his desk could he find a moment, what with?handling phone calls, urgent emails, and the many?problems and decisions piling up as they did every?day.
It wasn't until his second martini at lunch that?the full terror of his dilemma struck him. It was?all he could do to finish off his Lasagna Milanese.?"I can't panic," he said to himself, lighting his?cigar. "I must simply live my life as usual." So he?worked until seven as usual, studied business reports?as usual, and took his usual two capsules of Seconal?in order to get his usual six hours of sleep.
As the days passed, Crabwell stuck fully to his?routine. As the months passed by, he began to take?a perverse pleasure in his ability to survive.?"Whoever is trying to get me," he's say proudly?to his wife, "hasn't got me yet. I'm too smart?for him." "Oh, please be careful," she'd reply,?ladling him a second helping of her tasty beef?stroganoff.
His pride grew and he managed to go on living for?years. But, as it must to all men, death came at?last to Crabwell Grommet. it came at his desk on?a particularly busy day. He was 53.
His wife demanded a full autopsy. But it showed?only emphysema, arterioscleorosis, duodenal ulcers,?cirrhosis of the liver, cardiac necrosis, a?cerebrovascular aneurysm, pulmonary edema, obesity,?circulatory insufficiency, and a touch of lung?cancer.
"How glad Crabwell would have been to know," said?the widow smiling proudly through her tears, "that?he died of natural causes."
The moral of this story can be found in the words?of Dr. Phil, "When we choose the behavior, we choose?the consequences."
