The table at the left can help us remember the eight basic laws, or principles, that govern our health. Each of them are equally important and must not be neglected. In fact, "Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health.... Pure air, sunlight, abstemiousness, rest, exercise, proper diet, the use of water, trust in divine power--these are the true remedies." Ministry of Healing p.127. Not one of these laws or "remedies" should be focused upon apart from the others. They all work together!
