a day keeps the doctor away?

The more you learn about nutrition and preventive medicine, the more you may realize: As long as you can, heal yourself. In case of emergency, however, don’t wait, go see the doctor. Come along, find out a few new things about good old common sense. May your life be better for it.
 

"Everyone knows that"...

Medical Doctors are trained to cure.

Successful medical doctors effectively help the body heal itself. Cure means by definition that something must be ill or broken before a doctor can do his wonders. You see, doctors who specialize in curing usually don't have much time left to study prevention. Doctors trained in Western medicine can repair damage but they are rarely the right people to help you keep your body healthy. They don't get paid for prevention, not even for curing. Doctors get paid for treatment, often regardless of the side effects.

Now don’t get me wrong. I believe 80% of doctors do want to help, they have ethical motives and are effective. The damage, however, that the 20% and the few real vicious ones among them cause for many of us it a story of untold misery. I am not writing this because I feel betrayed by doctors, far from it. I am healthy by modern standards. I can take the stairs up from the subway two at a time and arrive in daylight without slowing down. 

Like anyone, I have had my share of laying my health in the hands of medical doctors. Some did not help much, a few even left damage but kept the money anyway. Most of the doctors I met were well-meaning and competent in their field, they knew their art and helped. And I have met two or three rare and wise docs who freely shared their knowledge of what the average man and woman can do to protect and improve health on their own.

These are the doctors you are glad they have time for you. They’d rather have healthy patients than a healthy bank account. Ironically, prevention of disease costs only a tiny fraction of treatment, yet the illness insurance pays for treatment, not for prevention. (Illness insurance? Wasn't that health insurance?) With the cost of medical care skyrocketing, it is evident the net result of the contemporary insurance and treatment system is lower health at ever higher cost. The prevalent approach clearly does not work.

Insurance or not, the responsibility for prevention is solely with us, the owners of our bodies.

It is your life.

Make your own informed decision.

Health books I like. And health resources on the web.

It is your life, your health and - yes - your food. I don't diagnose, I don't recommend specific treatment, I don't promise any cures. All I can do for you today is guide you to valuable research data that you may have never heard before. Take it as a gift. Use what you gain to improve your own health. Drop what does not make sense to you.

I'll be glad to send you a free tape lecture on health. No obligation. I got my own tape for free, too. I changed my food. It changed my life. You should have the data. Yes, you should have the data.

mailbox

You decide. Here and now. Mail away, ask me how...

 Please include your postal mail address for the tape. Thank you.
If you usually feel health topics are less important - they will grow important as you and those you love grow older.
 
 

My Guarantee: I am not going to sell you anything. If after listening to the tape lecture you let me know you want more, I'll tell you where I buy what works for me - potent food supplements at wholesale prices. If you already have a tape on health, tell me which one. I may have another one for you.
If you hate all this, but still have been reading up to this point, just go away.
