Purpose Statement        The "Amish Mennonite Academy of Medicine" [AMAM] is a non-profit research group dedicated to examining the centuries-old health practices of the Amish-Mennonite way of life through the cutting-edge technology of  modern science. While seeking to preserve the best of Amish-Mennonite medical traditions, the AMAM Research Group has no desire to preserve Amish medical practices that are not proven to be effective..           We postulate, that if those Amish-Mennonite health practices are to be  successfully extrapolated to the rest of the world for the cure and/or control of modern maladies  such as cancer, diabetes, heart & cardio-vascular disease, alzhiemers, arthritis & rhumatism, and degenerative diseases of all kinds, infectuous diseases - both viral & bacterial -, psychological health, energy & well-being, and anti-senecence - the valid practices have nothing to fear from the scrutiny of modern science.

TEN STEPS CREATING POSITIVE HEALTH 1] Spend as much time reclining, as in vertical positions (Gravity is a great cause of aging,  a real killer.
