If you look at my new header picture above, you will notice that I have just added a new tagline: “Sharing Wellness stories one at a time.”
Some of my old readers (if any 
) will notice that in the past 4 years, my blog has evolved from a place to post my random thoughts to a place to post more on Wellness information.
After reading Darren Rowse’s “31 Days to build a better blog“, I decided to concentrate on sharing with my readers all the wellness info that crosses my path that in someway has affected my own health. For example, if I told my acquaintances a year ago that one day I’d be able to cross the finish line of 5K run, no one would believe me since I was a known couch potato. But last October 31, I did it because of my passion to the wellness solutions to keep me away from doctors and hospital, as well as the good wellness program in my work place (Thanks to JG and the gang!).
In the past, I had also translated from Chinese to share with my readers some personal stories of Dr. David Shu’s in his fight against colon cancer. For example:
- this long post on Dr. Shu’s letter to cancer patients,
- a chapter on his new book, Thanks God I Survived! as well as
- the story on ATP Cellfood.
I have also embedded many wellness related videos that some of my readers may not aware of. I hope this niche will help me build my readership, particularly for those who need a stepping stone to find more info on the internet.
However, some of you may then ask, so what is the Wellness?
To answer that, I will cite what Paul Zane Pilzer wrote back in 2005, when he said, there’s a brand new industry that has nothing to do with sickness but is all about creating wellness.
- Wellness doesn’t treat people who are sick or address illness.
- Wellness is:
- for people who are already well and who want to stay well,
- slow down the aging process, or
- keep from becoming customers of the sickness business.
- Wellness is money you spend to make yourself feel healthier, even when you’re not “sick” by any standard medical terms.
Wellness, in Paul’s words is not the same as ‘healthcare’ as cited from the same article:
- What we call the “health care” business is not really the health business but the sickness business.
- Our medical industry today has very little, if anything, to do with health.
- The $2 trillion we spend on medical care, which represents onesixth
of the U.S. economy, is concerned with treating the symptoms of illness. - It has very little to do with preventing illnesses or with making people feel stronger or healthier.
As I learn more about wellness, I feel more passionate to write. Hopefully, by reading some of the info posted here, you may prepare yourself with more questions to ask, when you visit your doctor next time. After all, as far as your health or your wellness is concerned, your doctors are the best place to find the answer(s).
Thanks for your visit and good luck!
