Your body wants to heal, count on it. If you incorporate some basic /simple habits in your life you will allow your body to do what it is trying and always has tried to do. I know trying to make sense out of all the advise you get is hard, especially when your doctors are disagreeing. This is usually true when you are seeing a natural doctor and a regular doctor, but can also show up among doctors of the same discipline . There are natural docs who think meat is bad and fish is great. I think they are wrong. I say that after studying nutrition/ natural medicine for 21 years. I also know that I can be wrong and am willing to change my opinion if I am confronted with new evidence. Until that time ,I tell my patients what I believe to be the truth regardless of what the politically correct or most popular view is. What follows is a collection of health facts I believe are true.
Most people have too little stomach acid ,not too much. The problems with digestion range from heartburn to hemorrhoids.
A lot of problems, especially with women , are from too much pharmaceuticals. Estrogen, allergy pills, thyroid drugs, sleeping pills, psychology drugs. For men blood pressure, cholesterol drugs
A lack of good protein from the 3 F groups (fur /fins/ feathers)
Too much starch/ carbs / sugar (especially fructose )
Too few good minerals
Failing to know the difference between feeling good and being healthy
A lack of limberness in the spine but also the whole body
Believing that covering up the symptom is the same thing as healing
An unwillingness to think for themselves
I truly believe that natural medicine will be the medicine of the future, especially when the present generation comes into their own. As I've said before your body wants to be healthy and strong. Thanx for reading and feel free to call my office for the third opinion.
