The Farm at San Benito Hippocrates Health Resort of Asia, located in Lipa City, Philippines. Is one of the few truly medical spas or alternative medical health resorts in the world. While-as traditional western medicine is largely focused on symptoms repair, The Farms therapies through detoxification include the whole person, body, mind and soul – so to speak – because when one hurts, all suffer. Dis-ease is a most misunderstood subject and yet it should not be. Reinstall harmony, balance and improved lifestyle through rejuvenation and relaxation into a persons life and you are likely to see disease disappear.





The Farms guests learn about emotional poise and wellness (so that the glass is half full instead of half empty), balance and especially diet of high enzyme rich raw and living vegetarian foods.



The information obtained at The Farm cuts through most of the misinformation out there in the jungle of diet, self-help and lifestyle books and modern day philosophies driven by often dubious motivations.



The Farms vision and philosophy is simple and logical – stay in tune and balance (holistic) with natural laws and life will be great, an age-old philosophy already prescribed to by Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine.



This simple approach to improved health or induced outright healing so far has produced amazing results and that is the only thing The Farm expects to be judged by.



HEALING AND MEDICINE





For so many years, treatment of illnesses revolved around alleviating the symptoms of patients. Doctors put too much emphasis on the diseased organ. Only recently did the medical profession acknowledge that that particular organ is a part of a system, which affects all the other functions of the entire human body. Here at The Farm we do not limit these functions to the physical aspect. We see ourselves as spiritual, mental and emotional beings as much as we are physical beings. As such, emphasis on a person's psychological make-up is a natural part of our treatment. It cannot be denied that emotional strain and stress can affect our health. Often times, tumors, chest pains, or other symptoms manifest partly because of suppressed negative sentiments. Healing can only occur if problems at all levels have been unearthed and addressed.





NUTRITIONS AND LIFESTYLE



To quote Hippocrates, the father of medicine, "Let food by thy medicine and let medicine be thy food." Food is our most potent medicine. Various clinical studies have concluded that proper nutrition plays a central role in disease prevention and restoration of health. Food, when taken in properly will hasten the body's capacity to heal itself. Awareness is the first step in addressing our health problems. It is good to know that a lot of people are becoming more and more health conscious. However, most stop there: "Yes, I am aware that exercise is important but I just can't squeeze it in my tight schedule," or "I know smoking is bad but I really can't seem to stop especially when I'm stressed." The Farm is committed to educating our guests in the ways of proper nutrition and lifestyle. It is not mere information that we give, we make sure that health principles are inculcated in each of them by letting them experience what we teach. Human beings are creatures of habit and by letting our patients apply what they have learned under our close supervision we are confident that when they leave The Farm they have renewed their perception of their health and have formed new habits on how to take care of their bodies.



Cooking destroys all enzymes, therefore your body's own "enzyme bank" must be depleted in order to digest food; which explains why after eating a cooked meal many people feel heavy, tired, and lacking in energy. The constant depletion of the body's enzymes by eating primarily cooked foods is the precursor to "dis-ease" and the degenerative conditions we have come to consider a normal part of getting older. Not so! Adding more raw foods to your diet helps restore vitality, energy and "life-force" to the entire system. You can actually start feeling younger by eating more foods in their natural, unadulterated state - an amazing miracle of nature! We were all meant to remain healthy well into old age. Other benefits include weight loss and relief from symptoms of degenerative diseases such as arthritis, allergies, diabetes, and even cancer.





DETOXIFICATION









Most, if not all, of the modern-day diseases (digestive disorders, cancer, diabetes, hypertension, chronic degenerative diseases such as arthritis) have their origin in the accumulation of toxins in our bodies. Toxins weaken our immune system or the body's way of warding off diseases. Toxins come from environmental pollution, cigarette smoking, food preservatives, repeated use of cooking oil, strained relations, stress, and a whole lot more. The Farm offers a five day detoxification program as a jump start in cleansing the body. Psychoemotional detoxification is an integral part of this cleansing program. Those with more serious health conditions are advised to take a 3-6 week stay at The Farm under a more individually tailored healing program.
