HUG is a response to the growing awareness in our society regarding the importance of proper nutrition in maintaining good health, high energy, vitality, and longevity. HUG enlightens the individual on many aspects of proper and sound living habits, proper nutrition, exercise, massage, rest, mental attitude, the proper use of botanicals/herbs, and other means to induce, in a natural way, vitality of mind and body. Medical science has made spectacular advances in the past decades. However, medical doctors and public agencies cannot cope with the problems created by the dramatic increase in the incidence of degenerative diseases, and the constant influx of new food and drug compounds. Knowledge in many vital areas is inadequate; medical clinics and public health agencies are often understaffed or over-worked; laws are often insufficient or ill conceived. We have become over-dependent on drug and surgical therapy; too many questionable foods and drugs appear on the market, inadequately investigated. Thus much of the responsibility to protect and maintain our health rest with us - informed, sensible individuals.

IMPORTANT NOTES

1) This introduction would not be complete without a warning against extremists. They exist in all fields - in medicine, in chiropractic, in naturopathy, homeopathy and other healing arts. Herbal science and other accompanying natural methods are not a panacea (cure-all) for health problems. The fact is that knowledge, understanding, experience and great prudence are requisite to real confidence in any of the healing arts.

2) HUG HAS NO INTEREST IN THE

Diagnosis of any disease and/or health condition
Treatment of any disease and/or health condition
Examination for any disease and/or health condition
Prescribing for any disease and/or health condition

3) Through the study of topics and philosophy which HUG emphasizes, You the HUG Student, can begin to learn to re-assume responsibility for Your own HEALTH and WELL-BEING.
