Becomimg a member is no mistake. The only mistake we make generally is to not make any effort-ever. There is no guarentees this is what you anticipated however.

This is a health related site, yes! The philosophy behind it however differs from typical western understanding. It is not strictly pragmatic and considers one's over all balance (in terms of yin/yang)-as related to food initially, but can not end there and must encompase all aspects of one's life.

Yin/yang is the primary referrence that MB is about. Yin/yang do not exist as things in themselvs but are a kind of an algabraic formula to establish relationships between things--hot/cold-male/female-centrifical/centripital etc.
The premise is that the universe manifests its self in complimentary and antagonistic tendencies (yin/yang) in its infinite and endless progression of change. Health then is not merely the mechanical arrangement of nutrients, but one's alignement with the flow of the universe at large.

I was reared as a Chritian and graduated from a Christian high school. I can estimate then, the the hardest thing you may have throuble "grogging" is the idea that a living human being is a balance of body and spirit. These two can not be seperated--except in death--corps and ghost. Christianity considers the body as less then spirit, which is to say in MB terms that yang is less than yin. This is a problem since yin and yang do not exsist exclusive of the other.
Where there is yin there is yang--where there is yang there is yin.

I applaud your sincerity and graciousness. You have arrived at the place you are because of what you have expirienced in life so far, by your reactions to it. This is respected! You will find this site interesting and MB challenging.
Expect compliments and antagonisms---it is yin and yang!

I am being pressured by the yang so I must be off to work.
To your health and wholeness-to my health and wholeness
