I was having a discussion the other day with a lady who was very concerned about her husband's health. I would like to share with you some of our conversation without going into any detail about the specific case. I told her that I was concerned about some of the possible side-effects of some of the drugs that his doctor had him on. Her response to me was, "Well, his doctor has kept him alive so far, so I'm happy."

His doctor kept him alive????

This lady works hard and makes mostly nutritious meals for her husband. He works hard and is quite physically active. He is a very loving and giving man, often expending much time and energy to help other people without any monetary compensation.

Upon examination of his lifestyle and the things that his doctor is giving him, I would have to say that his lifestyle is keeping him alive in spite of his doctor.

Doctors are not gods! They are men who have gone through a lot of schooling. Unfortunately most of their schooling is designed and guided by pharmaceutical companies. They are taught to give drugs to deal with symptoms that they have been taught to diagnose.

If you meet a medical doctor who knows very much about nutrition you should congratulate him. He studied it out on his own. As unbelievable as it may sound, the typical medical doctor is not taught about food and how it effects the human body. You see, pharmaceutical companies cannot patent food.

Did you know that the third leading cause of death in the U.S. is medicine correctly administered. If you factor in administrative mistakes and overdosing, medicine is number one. That's right! Ahead of heart disease and cancer.

All drugs have negative side-effects. That is because all drugs cause an imbalance in one or more systems of the body. Most drugs in use today have not even had sufficient studies done on them to show what the long-term side-effects may be.

Please don't misunderstand me. Doctors are not bad guys. Doctors mean well. They are trying to help people avoid suffering and pain. They have simply gotten caught up in a system going the wrong direction.

Modern medicine is wonderful for emergency situations to save lives. However, headache, high cholesterol, joint pain, high blood pressure, arthritis and the like are not emergency situations. They can easily be handled through positive lifestyle changes including good nutrition and exercise.

On the other hand if you break a bone or suffer other serious injury, if you have a heart attack or stroke, or any other occurrence that brings you to the brink of death, see a medical doctor quickly. They can save your life.

I would even advise you to go see a doctor for aches and pains that you can not explain, or that persist for more than 90 days. But if possible find a doctor who has taken the extra time to study health and nutrition and can suggest wholesome ways to deal with the problems without the side effects of man-made chemicals.

There actually are more and more doctors who are taking the time to learn about how natural real foods help to balance and nourish the human body. Seek them out and you will be way ahead of the game.

Remember that health comes from within. We need to give our bodies the resources that they need to take care of themselves.

Just eat a high quality natural foods diet, exercise, drink plenty of good clean water, make sure you get fiber (whole raw foods), get plenty of sleep, breathe deeply, serve others, and have a gratitude attitude.

Your body will take care of you, if you take care of it.
