Pro-Active Healthcare

Gone are the days when we could simply call the doctor to find out how to fix what ails us. Today there are more than 4000 food-induced diseases alone. Less than one percent of doctors are trained adequately regarding diet; therefore, at least 99 percent of doctors would provide you with poor dietary advice even if they attempted to do so. In almost all cases, such doctors end up prescribing medications when far more informed solutions are needed.

Unfortunately, this paradigm will not change in the foreseeable future because there is not an effective way for doctors to be paid who become capable of dispensing proper dietary advice. This amounts to offering free services because the insurance companies still do not reward doctors monetarily for overcoming specific diet-induced diseases.

What this means is that if you are not sufficiently informed regarding the various spokes in the complete wheel of health, you will be treating every problem with prescription drugs and/or surgery.

My father shared a story with me of a medical conference he attended in Nebraska. One of the keynote speakers was one of the world's renowned back surgeons. This man said to this illustrious crowd of doctors that of the 3000 plus back surgeries that he had performed, 98 percent would have been far better served through a proper diet.

If you are afflicted by a diet-induced disease, should you be seeking allopathic solutions that include prescription drugs, surgery, and so forth, or should you become informed regarding how you can prevent, arrest, reverse almost any diet-induced condition?

It's your life and your body. Isn't it about time that we take back responsibility of our greatest possession, rather than dote on every word of the USDA or AMA or XYZ... The more informed you become and the more practiced you are in the various topics represented under Other Spokes, the more likely you will be able to ascertain when you should use a traditional medical solution and when far better alternatives exist.

That having been said, there are times when it is critical to receive medical care and when there are no truly viable solutions. In all such cases, it is imperative that you receive such care. For example, I am extremely grateful that my ten children were brought into the world by well-trained and caring physicians. I am grateful for various acute care situations wherein allopathic medicine reduced severe risks in a matter of moments.

Be informed, be wise, and always seek and find the best solution possible for whatsoever ails you.
