The big challenge for us in America is how to shift from disease management to disease prevention. I started reading "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell. It should be required reading for anyone wanting to take the so-called "easy" route. I truly believe that we should be changing our diets if we want to lower blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. It's too easy to just pop a pill and make believe it's all better. It isn't. The problem is still there. It is just being masked. Did you know that over 100,000 people die each year as a result of reactions to medicines?
"If nutrition were better understood, and prevention and natural treatments were more accepted in the medical community, we would not be pouring so many toxic, potentially lethal drugs into our bodies at the last stage of disease. We would not be frantically searching for the new medicine that alleviates the symptoms but often does nothing to address the fundamental causes of our illnesses. We would not be spending our money developing, patenting and commercializing 'magic bullet' drugs that often cause additional health problems. It is time to shift our thinking toward a broader perspective on health, one that includes a proper understanding and use of good nutrition." (T. Colin Campbell)
