Statement of Philosophy

Dr. Paul Abell has spent the entirety of his professional life exploring the many nuances of the healing arts both East and West. His interests span the spectrum from nutritional supplements, vitamins, herbs(Asian and Western), nutrition, exercise, Qi Gong, Pal Dan Gum, Yoga, Tui Na, Shiatsu, Jin Shin Do, Acupuncture, Chinese Five Element theory, Chakra Healing, Behavioral Modification, Lifestyle changes, Voice Dialogue, The Psychology of Selves, Psychological Longevity Principles, Spiritual healing, Taoist Meditation, Vedantic principles, and the Integration of Mind, Body and Spirit to create a balanced sense of well-being. His latest exploration into the research done on longevity revealed that all these techniques and practices may contribute to a long life, but centenarians share a common set of sociological factors that may be even more important when it comes to promoting longevity. The common thread that ties all these factors together appears to be the JOY of living. In essence, Joy is the Key to Longevity.
