8 laws of physical health
by Pete Egoscue
These Eight Laws of Physical Health are from Pete Egoscue's book "Pain Free". They are a way to take the seemingly complex human body and confusing healthcare industry with millions of options and differing opinions, and break it down to what matters. If a product or treatment violates any of these eight laws, as Pete says, "Something is wrong." Look for healthcare providers, procedures, treatments, and products that believe in and sup port these 8 laws and avoid those that do not. This will ensure you are treating and using your body as it was intended and lead to a long and healthy life. Learn the 8 laws. |

It's not what you think
Humans are a unique species. Scientists tell us that humans exhibit several characteristics, behaviors and abilities that distinguish us from all other animals. But science is showing us more and more that what we once thought of as our "unique" ability is now only "more advanced" than other animals. Humans have an advanced language, advanced ability to make and use tools, advanced ability to manipulate the environment to our advantage, and an advanced ability to create and interact in culture. Geneticists have shown us that 98-99% of our genes are the same as chimps.
With so much similarity between humans and other animals like chimps, what sets us apart? |
