Doctors learn about disease. The focus is on how to treat disease with drugs or procedures, not on the prevention of disease through proper nutrition. We study pharmacology to learn how drugs work in our bodies. Being a doctor myself, I know the enormous value of drugs in various disease treatments, but I also know that we rarely will find the answer for a healthy life in a doctor's office. To live a healthy life we need to take care of ourselves as a whole, not in pieces or departments, like most of us do.
Life is like a puzzle.
We need to work on putting all the pieces in the right place, which requires commitment. We all know in our hearts that we can have a healthy and happy life. We live in a country with abundance of freedom, food, technology, and communication. Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States, in spite of the tremendous amount of money spent on cancer research and treatment. We all know about other growing degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's dementia, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, etc.
