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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.
