FOREWORD ON HEALTHCARE
Health is a Personal and Social Concern
Every individual is aware that the quality of one’s life
depends primarily on an illness-free and energetic body.
Accordingly, proper nutrition, exercise and other habits that
promote health and prevent sickness are of paramount
importance to a happy and productive life. Prevention is the
priority. But if medical intervention becomes necessary, then
there must be accessibility.
Society is only as healthy as the individuals who comprise
it. As such, health is a social concern since social productivity
can only come from healthy individuals. This is the human
resource that makes growth and development in any society
possible. It is therefore imperative to address health issues as a
primordial responsibility of the state that governs society.
Clearly, the provision of healthcare service is a social
responsibility while the production of healthcare products which
are indispensable to the maintenance and/or restoration of good
health is a business enterprise. Thus the challenge to healthcare
planner providers and workers is to harmonize the interests of
social service in the form of a mission advocacy and of business
that seeks to generate profits through is corporate enterprise.
ATP, your proponent, submits that there can be a
harmonious blending of what may initially appear as conflicting
and irreconcilable interests. The ‘missionaries and businessmen’
– ‘Expense and Income factors’ – in their own can come up with
a formula for harmony with a ‘balanced equation’. Given the
added factor of a ‘GRANTOR’ or ‘ANGEL INVESTOR’, the
process of blending becomes even easier because the latter
precisely personifies and represents in concrete terms this blend.
Come join and blend with us in the unfolding story of
ATP.
“xx The kingdom of heaven is near, Heal the sick xxx. You
received this as a gift, so give it as a giftxx.” Mathew 10:8
“xx At that time Jesus healed many people of their sickness or
diseases xxx” Luke 7:21
“xx And the prayer of faith will save the sick xxx” James 5:14
“ Let Your Food be your medicine and Let Your medicine be
your Food/” Hippocrates
ORIGIN AND DISCOVERY
The raw materials in ATP based health products come
from a powdery substance found in caves hidden in the
mountain-forests of the Philippines. It is believed that springs
run through these caves mixed in its waters are the decayed
residues of stalactites, stalagmites, trees, herbs and plants. Like
the Mythical naiads of old, natives go to this flowing stream to
drink and bathe. They consider the place a potent natural
source of rejuvenating and healing energy. With its ‘wonderful
and miraculous’ effects on them, they regard it as sacred space.
The following narrative is a true story that has become
almost like popular legend as it has been repeatedly told and
passed-on from storyteller to storyteller with continuing
enhancements and embellishments. It went this way. A young
boy was found in the wilderness by a group of Christian hunters
in search of what they heard was a ‘mysterious fountain of
youth’. Unsuccessful, they went back to the lowlands with the
boy who was eventually raised by one of the hunters. Growing in
a Christian community, he saw himself different both in physical
features and mental disposition. He was very athletic and
warrior-like in appearance, and was very much attached to
nature. Accordingly, he studied biology and agriculture. When
he graduated, he worked as an agriculturist and forester
Restless, he knew that he needed to trace his roots. His adoptive
parents helped him by pointing to the indigenous tribe in the
Mountain Province of Northern Philippines known as the
Ilongots.
The boy went back to that tribal village to trace his roots
He was readily recognized and accepted as a member of the
tribe. During his stay, he noted that his brother Ilongots would
invariably bring the ill and the weak among them to a part in
the mountain where they will remain for a few days. When they
come out of it, they appear rejuvenated and healthy. Agog, he
followed them one day to this mysterious source of what he
thought was the, much-talked about ‘elixir of life’. That was
when he discovered tons and tons of beige-colored, dust-fine
powder extracts from nature’s life cycle processes. Convinced of
the health and medicinal value of his discovery, specifically for
those who cannot afford to avail of conventional, traditional
western oriented medical treatment, he sought the permission
and approval of his tribe to haul down enough supply for
experimental tests and chemical examination purposes. Sensing
that he was pure of heart in his intention to help the afflicted
poor, the village elders invoked the divine spirits whom they
believe to be the guardians of these gifts and they gave him their
blessings. Thus began the unfolding saga of ATP.
