- 2. Because the "real secret to health" is being ignored by our health-care system and we are suffering the consequences. I think we all know that our health care system is broken, and it is making us broke. In the U.S., we have a 2 trillion dollar health care system and yet people get unhealthier each year. We are using more and more medication, and yet people are getting fatter and fatter, sicker and sicker. WebHealthForYou.Com
- 3. What's worse is that medications are now estimated to be the fourth leading cause of death. It seems that we have reached the limit of our reliance on pharmaceutical, technological and other unnatural approaches to health, and it is now beginning to work against us. Nowhere are the failings of the modern lifestyle and health system more evident than in the Native Hawaiian community. Here, we have a microcosm of what is happening to the rest of America and the world. WebHealthForYou.Com
- 4. The Hawaii Health Program was conceived in part as a response to the high rates of death from chronic diet-and-lifestyle-related diseases among the Native Hawaiians. In many parts of the Native Hawaiian community, there is great poverty from a material perspective. But the people there are also blessed with a great wealth from a spiritual and cultural perspective. The material poverty sets the stage for poor health. If nurtured properly, spiritual and cultural strength may set the stage for the recovery of good health if applied properly. WebHealthForYou.Com
- 5. For today's health crisis, the "real secret" was in the basic principles of the way they looked at health. I've explained five of the principles in chapter 3 of this book along with a sixth concept that foreshadows an ancient prophesy of Hawaii as a World Center for health. If you apply these principles to your life, there is great potential for healing your body, mind and spirit. WebHealthForYou.Com
- 6. It is called the "Hawaii Health Program" and the "HawaiiDiet™" in honor of the region where it was born, and also because of the spirit of the Hawaiian people. Their ancient wisdom embraces universal concepts common to traditional cultures from all over the world and, can provide you with a road map to your own ideal body weight and ideal health. If enough people become healthy based on these principles they can become the building blocks of world health. WebHealthForYou.Com
- 7. In doing so, you may become a part of the fulfilment of an ancient prophecy. Ancient healers in Hawaii and from elsewhere have felt a special spirituality in Hawaii. There is a healing spirit in Hawaii found in few other places. From the keepers of the secret, it is told that there is an ancient prophecy that Hawaii would become a world center for health. When you read the explanation of the word "Hawaii" in this book, you will see a glimpse of this in the word itself. WebHealthForYou.Com

- 11. Mary is one of the "miracles" that Ms. Laura Shapiro mentioned in the Newsweek article about the program. At age 40, Mary was already taking 80 units of Insulin and she was at high risk for serious complications from the disease. She went on the HawaiiDiet™. She soon lost 51 pounds. Seven years later, she maintains that same weight although she "eats everything in sight." WebHealthForYou.Com
- 12. On the HawaiiDiet™, Hawaii's Governor Benjamin Cayetano reduced his cholesterol from 234 mg/dl down to 162 mg/dl. His "good cholesterol" increased from 26 to 32. His triglyceride fell 516 points from 617 mg/dl to a normal level of 83 mg/dl (normal is 50 to 150 mg/dl). And then there is Ellen K., who told me: "This is the greatest diet in the world," as she stepped on my office scale. She had lost 60 pounds after years of failing on every other diet. She looked better than she had in years, her skin was glowing, and she had new vitality and a renewed zest for life. WebHealthForYou.Com
