He believes negative emotions, dead food, and toxic household products people use daily can destroy good health.

A board-certified family practice medical doctor who specializes in nutritional medicine, Dr. Colbert has treated over 17,000 patients. Since 1984, he has helped patients regain their health, and he has taught thousands how to live pain free - even after years of suffering.

Colbert believes, however, that good emotional and spiritual health are essential to physical well-being.

"The Most important thing [to having good health]… more important than vitamins, minerals, the food we eat and the water we drink - is having a merry heart," he says.

He bases his premise on the Bible, where it says, "A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones" (Proverbs 17:22).

Colbert advises that it's crucial "for people to rid themselves of deadly toxic emotions, such as hatred, bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness."

In fact, he exclaims, "Almost every cancer victim I have ever seen had some [unresolved issue of] unforgiveness or resentment toward someone, or even self-hate."

But, he notes, the cancer often went into remission once those patients combined forgiving others and themselves with healthy eating habits and lifestyles changes.

Now, in a new book, What You Don't Know May Be Killing You! Colbert shares stories like these, integrated with biblical teaching and other vital information, to help anyone achieve optimum health.

For example, the book explains how you can reduce exposure to life-threatening diseases.

You will also learn:

· How to heal your body by eating live foods;

· How to detoxify your system without causing more harm;

· What dangerous chemicals you ingest every time you eat or drink;

· Which vitamins and minerals MUST be taken each day;

· How emotions affect your immune system; plus much more.

Nevertheless, Colbert emphasizes that good physical health ultimately depends on whether or not you are emotionally and spiritually healthy.

"How you feel in your heart can show up in your body, he says in his book, "for your heart and body are more powerfully connected than you ever realized." Therefore, he also advocates reading the Scriptures daily to help maintain positive thoughts and emotions.

Colbert summarizes, "A healthy mind that is full of love, joy, peace and forgiveness should lead to a healthy body."
