Dear Rand, I believe that the meaning of health in this instance is a healthy mindset, not physical health. I seriously doubt that Bardon's intent at step 1 was for the student to already be able to cure himself from chronic diseases (or any diseases for that matter) using impregnated breaths. I suggest that you contemplate what a healthy mindset means to you, and try to actualize that concept within yourself :) Sincerely, Daniel Gutmanas
