We are conditioned to viewing our bodies from the popular disease model perspective. What do we mean? It’s common to believe your body enjoys its best health when you’re young, and then proceeds to break down with age. You are destined to deteriorate further and further, until you eventually die. Diseases and health issues are inevitable and happen to everyone, and your time will come. It all comes about because the body is not capable of taking care of itself, and can’t overcome the effects of its genes, its environment, and its age. No wonder you sometimes just want to give up!

But when you view your health from the perspective of H.L. “Sam” Queen’s Designed2Win health model, you see your body as made by an intricate design that allows for recovery and good health no matter what is presented to it. There are amazing systems in place within your body that want to take over and restore it back to its original design.

Once you realize your body’s ability to take charge for your best interests, you see that there is nothing in your health that you can’t improve or even overcome. As long as you’re supporting the design system that’s in place, you’re supporting your body’s attempts to heal itself and restore order.

How you think plays a role in all of this. Your body chemistry can be hugely altered by your attitude, your emotional health, and whether or not you have an appropriate reason for getting well. A positive thought process is critical to your health. What we’re talking about is not a simplified view of life – it’s scientifically proven. We have much more control over our health than we realize, if we only change our thought process.

This doesn’t mean a Pollyanna, head-in-the-sand, nothing-bad-ever-happens outlook - it simply means spend more time thinking about what’s right in your life than what’s wrong! Taken as a serious challenge, you’ll be amazed to find out how it can shift your perspective. And one of the things that’s right is that your body is designed to win. Don’t ever let a discouraging symptom become more important than that fact.

Sam addressed this often in his Designed2Win blog, so be sure to check the Blog Archives for ideas and suggestions to inspire you.

Sam wrote a simple book called Your Personal Health Guide. In it you’ll find an introduction to the Designed2Win health philosophy, along with much practical information. Even if you never had the opportunity to work directly with Sam, you’ll find so much that you can apply to your own health immediately.

Change lifestyle and diet habits gently and easily with our health publication, Put Down The Duckie. It offers practical and painless ways to change your lifestyle. Put Down The Duckie doesn't just give you good health information; it helps you be successful using it!  

We have a great deal more scientific information intended for the health professional, but written and recorded in a manner that appeals to many. The Health Realities Journal, Health Realities in the News, and our Health Realities Education Series are all examples of that. You’re more than welcome to read through the For The Health Professional link on our site, and to obtain any of those items that interest you.

When seeking a doctor or health provider, look for someone who recognizes themselves as being a facilitator of health rather than a “fixer” of what ails you. Health providers who’ve been trained in the Designed2Win concept will certainly have this attitude engrained in their total practice. Certified Clinical Nutritionists (CCN) will have been trained in interpreting laboratory chemistry results specifically according to Sam’s guidelines, as his Basic 100 Chemistry Interpretation Manual is required for their course of study.

Although we don’t maintain a database of health care providers who practice in this way, if we know of someone in your area, we will gladly pass that information on.

Sam recognized their value and was very specific in his method for selecting each one. We continue to follow those principles as we add and adjust items in our shopping cart. And if you’d like to get started improving your overall health, Sam also put together a simplified General Diet and Supplement Plan which was based on a standard supplementation program that was of value to the most people.
