200 Harvard Medical School STUDENTS are confronting the administration demanding an end to pharmaceutical industry influence in the classroom.

A front page report in the Business section of the New York Times should bestir some of Harvard Medical School alumni.  200 Harvard Medical School STUDENTS are confronting the administration demanding an end to pharmaceutical industry influence in the classroom.

“The students say they worry that pharmaceutical industry scandals in recent years – including some criminal convictions, billions of dollars in fines, proof of bias in research and publishing and false marketing claims – have cast a bad light on the medical profession. And they criticize Harvard as being less vigilant than other leading medical schools in monitoring potential financial conflicts by faculty members.”

Harvard received the lowest grade–an F--from the American Medical Student Association, a national group that rates how well medical schools monitor and control drug industry money. Harvard Medical School’s peers received much higher grades, ranging from the A for the University of Pennsylvania, to B’s received by Stanford, Columbia and New York University, to the C for Yale.

The revolt began when a first year medical student “grew wary” when a professor promoted cholesterol drugs and “seemed to belittle a student who asked about side effects.” He later discovered that the professor, a full-time Harvard Medical faculty member, was a paid consultant to 10 drug industry companies, including manufacturers of cholesterol drugs.

Another first year student said:  “Before coming here, I had no idea how much influence [big pharma] companies had on medical education. And it’s something that’s purposely meant to be under the table, providing information under the guise of education when that information is also presented for marketing purposes.”

The fact is, no one is keeping track of faculty income from industry, or covert marketing pitches infiltrating the classroom: “The school said it was unable to provide annual measures of the money flow to its faculty..”  One Harvard professor’s disclosure in class listed 47 company affiliations.

On one side of the confrontation: the administration and most of the faculty who admittedly loath to “tighten the spigot” of cash from industry:

“School officials see corporate support for their faculty as all the more crucial, as the university endowment has lost 22 percent of its value since last July and the recession has caused philanthropic contributors to retrench.”

An outspoken supporter of ties between industry and academia–who served on numerous pharmaceutical advisory boards, Professor Thomas Stossel who is unconcerned about pharmaceutical industry influence. He views industry support as “a huge opportunity we ought to mine.” A smaller faction of students calls for “continued interaction between medicine and drug industry at Harvard.”  They are led by Vijay Yanamadala, 22.

On the other side: students such as Kirsten Austad, 24, a first-year Harvard Medical School student who is one of the movement’s leaders, who said: “Harvard needs to live up to its name.  We are really being indoctrinated into a field of medicine that is becoming more and more commercialized.”

The students are joined by Dr. Marcia Angell, a faculty member and former editor in chief of the New England Journal of Medicine who has vigorously advocated for an end to liaisons between academia and Big Pharma: “Too many medical schools have struck a ‘Faustian bargain’ with pharmaceutical industry companies.  If a school like Harvard can’t behave itself, who can?”

Can you really heal yourself by eating more food? It seems counterintuitive, but in this article — part eleven of our 15-day self-healing series — I’m going to share with you how eating more food can actually be a powerful tool in accelerating your body’s own natural healing potential.

But there’s a catch, of course: It’s not about eating more junk food, processed food or factory-made food. Eating more of that stuff would only promote more disease of course. It’s about eating more of some specific foods and superfoods I’m going to share with you in detail right here.

The whole point of this “heal yourself by eating MORE” approach is to chill out and get away from the “avoid everything” trap that becomes a psychological obstacle for a lot of people who are trying to improve their health. The demands to avoid everything can seem intimidating and repetitive: Avoid cheese, avoid sugar, avoid diet sodas, avoid processed meat, avoid MSG, etc. For many people, the list of things to avoid becomes so large and confusing that they just give up trying to be healthier.

So, I’ve advocated a totally different approach that’s focused on eating more of the right kinds of things and worrying less about all the other stuff. You might call it a more balanced, relaxed approach to healthful living for a more mainstream audience.

But, how does it work? How does eating MORE food actually help heal your body?

How eating more promotes real healing

Here’s how: There’s a physical limit of how much stuff you can eat in one day. So by adding certain healthy foods and aiming to achieve the goal of eating MORE of those foods, you will automatically end up dropping something else out of your diet without really trying.

For example, one of the action strategies here is to aim to eat three whole fruits per day; one before each meal. So each day, I want you to consume a total of three whole fruits such as apples, pears, peaches, mangos, large plums, etc. But here’s the key in all this: You must eat one whole fruit BEFORE each meal.

While you’re following this strategy, I don’t want you to worry about what to avoid. Eat whatever it is you normally eat, but add three whole fruits per day. (Not dried fruits. They must be fresh, whole fruits of a significant size.)

The reason this strategy works so well to improve your health is because by eating three whole fruits each day — one before each major meal — you will tend to crowd out the less healthful foods automatically, without any real effort and without worrying so much avoid what to avoid.

Let’s say you eat at McDonald’s each day, for example. And let’s say you order a Big Mac, fries and a Coke for lunch each day (in which case it would be weird that you’re even reading Barton Pulishing’s blog, but go with me on this…). Now, with this “eat more” principle in place, you precede each McDonald’s meal with the consumption of a whole, fresh fruit. Two important things will happen:

#1) The fresh fruit contains nutrients that will help protect you from the damaging ingredients of cooked foods, processed foods or chemical food ingredients. (Because fruits contain natural medicines.)

#2) The whole fruit will take up more physical space in your stomach, making you feel full faster and causing you to stop eating the other stuff sooner. You may find yourself suddenly unable to finish your Big Mac and fries, for example. You may not even know why but then it hits you: Oh yeah, I ate the fresh fruit before this meal!

Naturally, I hope you choose organic whole fruit for this, but even if you don’t, eating conventionally-grown fresh fruit is better than nothing!

Eat more superfoods

Here’s another element in this strategy: I want you to eat a handful of superfood supplements each day, preferably before noon.

By superfood supplements, I mean microalgae like chlorella, spirulina or food-based vitamins like those from Pure Synergy (this could be in the form of powder, tablets or capsules). So, at some point each morning — it could be after breakfast or before lunch — I want you to swallow an entire handful of these superfood supplements (with water, of course). You may want to do this with food for the first few weeks, to get your body used to these nutrients arriving all at once.

Note: I am not recommending you swallow a handful of vitamins, many of which are made with synthetic chemicals. I’m talking about real food here — superfoods in a supplement form.

Doing this will cause something else quite amazing to happen in your body: Unhealthy cravings will start to vanish. Within just 30 days, in fact, you may suddenly begin to notice that your cravings for unhealthful snack foods and carbohydrates begin to fade. You may no longer feel the need for eating more cookies, donuts, ice cream or fried foods that you were once drawn to.

Why does this work? Because many cravings are simply biochemical translations of your body’s cry for nutrients. And superfood supplements fill your body with abundant nutrients that you might be missing. As your body realizes it’s no longer deficient in crucial minerals and other micronutrients, your cravings are automatically turned off, putting YOU back in control over what you choose to eat.

Also, another benefit here is that eating the superfoods will displace something else in your diet (because you can only eat so much physical stuff in one day, remember?). So, a mid-morning superfood habit will ultimately end up knocking something else out of your diet without even trying.

Eat more REAL salt

This one will shock many people. Some doctors swear this is bad advice, but that’s only because they don’t acknowledge the difference between real salt and processed “refined” salt. Refined salt is bad for you. Real, full-spectrum salt is good for you!

Processed salt raises blood pressure and promotes disease. Full-spectrum salt, on the other hand, may actually have the opposite effect. One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that cravings for salty snack foods are often just cravings for full-spectrum real salt.

When I crave snack foods, I’ve found that those cravings are 100% of the time dismissed by eating things like raw nuts rolled in full-spectrum salt. And the more you exercise, the more salt you lose from sweating so the more salt you need to replace. As a person who exercises regularly and drinks a lot of fresh veggie juice from my garden, I find myself frequently salt deficient. I actually have to add salt to my diet, and I do so by eating full-spectrum salt sprinkled over raw nuts (or I add real salt to other foods I’m making).

See Some Full-Spectrum Salt Products Here.

If you already exhibit symptoms of high blood pressure, don’t add real salt to your diet without removing some processed salt from it first. Check with your naturopathic physician on this matter. But if your blood pressure is normal, adding full-spectrum salt to your diet is generally considered remarkably safe.

Drink a fresh superfood smoothie each day

Here’s the last item to add to your diet to improve your health: Drink a superfood smoothie each day.

It doesn’t even matter what time you drink it, really: Just find a way to add a full 8 oz. glass of freshly-squeezed whole fruits and vegetables to your daily intake of foods and beverages. I like to do this mid-morning, but you may enjoy it in the afternoon or evening, too. Some people drink it for breakfast.

The ingredients should be fresh produce only. Examples: Celery, parsley, cucumbers, apples, pears, watermelon, beets, kale, broccoli, berries and so on. You may add a natural sweetener such as stevia.

You’ll need to make this juice yourself. The very best juicer for this is the amazing Hurom Slow Juicer.

By doing this, you’ll be adding a huge burst of living nutrients to your diet. This simple addition of a daily superfood smoothie will displace other things in your diet that aren’t very healthy. This happens automatically, without any real effort on your part.

Alternatively, if you cannot make fresh juice each day, the next best thing is to drink a superfood product that you mix with water instead. There are many to choose from in this category. I’ve recommended Rejuvenate,  Boku Superfood , Pure Synergy , Healthforce Nutritionals, Living Fuel and so on. These aren’t quite as fresh and “alive” as homemade juice made from fresh produce, but they’re the next best thing, and they do provide a wide assortment of nutrients that you normally don’t get in fresh produce (such as super-healthful seaweed extracts).

Do not make the mistake of thinking that pasteurized, bottled “superfood” products bought from the store (such as Naked Juice or Odwalla) are an equivalent replacement for real superfood products. They are pasteurized and do not meet my requirements for high-end superfood beverages. They’re better than Coke and Pepsi, of course, but not as good as the superfood products listed above.

Eating more really works!

So far, then, we’ve talked about eating MORE food to improve your health:

• Eat three fresh raw whole fruits each day (one before each major meal)
• Eat a handful of superfood supplements each day
• Eat more full-spectrum real salt (ideally as a replacement for processed “refined” salt)
• Drink a fresh superfood smoothie each day

And remember, during all this, you’re not going to think much about what to avoid. Instead, you’re just going to focus on what to ADD to your diet! Eat whatever else you’re normally eating; just add these four things to your daily diet.

By doing so, you will find remarkable things happening with your health even if the rest of your diet isn’t the greatest in the world.

You see, you don’t have to focus on the things you shouldn’t eat. Instead, you can greatly reduce your stress and increase your enjoyment in life by simply adding and eating more things to your diet and letting your biology put them to good use. Focus on what you’re adding!

This is a very different approach to health than what you might normally get from a more strict dietary regimen. Strict dieting works for some people, but not most. Most people are still going to eat at restaurants, or pick up a snack from time to time, or snarf down some processed foods at some point during the day. The approach I’ve outlined here gives all those people a powerful nutritional advantage that displaces many of those foods with something far better.

I’ve found that this approach works even for super busy people who are under a lot of stress and don’t have time to think about all the details of which foods and ingredients to avoid. All they have to remember is to add four things to their day:

• Three whole fresh fruits
• A handful of superfood supplements
• Real full-spectrum salt
• A superfood smoothie

… and a partridge in a pear tree.

Continuing with our 15-day self healing series, today we focus on cleaning up your skin exposures. By “skin exposures,” I mean all the things your skin comes into contact with. The sheer quantity of those things will probably surprise you.

But first, let’s get something out of the way that’s crucial to all this. The consumer products industry wants you to believe their “Big Lie.” The Big Lie is that skin chemicals you put on your skin don’t get absorbed into your bloodstream. So, there’s no need to make sure consumer skin products are actually safe.

The FDA and most members of the conventional medical community also believe this lie: They don’t acknowledge the absorption properties of the skin, so they tend to say that skin products are perfectly safe for your health even if they contain toxic cancer chemicals. (Of course, these very same people then promote nicotine patches and other drugs delivered through the skin, so they do indirectly acknowledge that the skin absorbs chemicals.)

How many different skin products come into contact with your skin on a regular basis? You’d be shocked to consider all the skin exposure sources:

• Perfumes, colognes and other fragrance products.
• Shampoo.
• Shower soap or shower gel products.
• Pesticides used on your lawn which are carried to you through pets or children.
• Skin creams.
• Sunscreen products.
• Cosmetics.
• Antibacterial hand soaps.
• Laundry detergents and dryer sheets (through your clothing).
• Dish soaps.
• Furniture polishes.
• Household cleaners such as window cleaners.
• Artificial dyes found in clothing.
• Feminine hygiene products.
• Deodorants and anti-perspirants.
• Shaving creams and after-shave products.
• Hair dyes.
• Massage oils and lotions.
• Hair sculpting products and hair sprays.
• Tattoos and temporary skin art.
• Insect repellants.
• Over-the-counter creams: Anti-itch, pain creams, etc.
• Chlorine in your shower water.
• Anti-flea and tick chemicals acquired by touching your pets.

Cancer-causing chemicals

If you look at all these products whose ingredients come into contact with your skin, you’ll begin to realize something quite disturbing: They’re loaded with cancer-causing chemicals!

The average perfume product, just as an example, contains over twenty cancer chemicals all by itself…and these are never even listed on the label. Antibacterial soaps are made with a chemical that’s similar to the nerve toxin chemical called Agent Orange which was used as a chemical weapon in the Vietnam War.

Hair dyes contain highly toxic chemical solvents. Conventional laundry detergents are made with extremely toxic cancer-causing fragrance chemicals. Conventional cosmetics are loaded with not just cancer chemicals, but also heavy metals like lead. Lawn pesticides contain chemicals that promote Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

The list goes on and on…

The products listed above probably contain over 10,000 different synthetic chemicals, and virtually none of them have ever been safety tested or approved as safe for human consumption by any federal agency. The EPA doesn’t even know what many of these chemicals are because companies claim they need to protect their formulation “trade secrets” by not even listing the ingredients on product labels.

But, think about these 10,000 chemicals for a moment and ask yourself this question: Why are you putting them on your skin?

Mainstream consumers poison themselves

Consumers are very easy to covertly influence through corporate advertising. I’m particularly struck by the advertising of a cologne product called “Axe Spray” which is marketed to clueless teenage boys who naively believe that wearing these toxic chemicals will magically bring them hoards of slutty women who want to sleep with them. That’s the underlying message of the Axe Spray Cologne advertising, anyway.

So, these teenage boys buy up these Axe products which include cologne, deodorant and shampoo. Naturally, they’re oblivious to the fact that these products are made with artificial, synthetic fragrance chemicals that are absorbed right through the skin. None of these chemicals have been approved as safe for human consumption by the FDA, of course. But, young men coat their bodies with these chemicals with no regard for their own health, thinking that smelling like Axe will reward you with female companionship.

And the ads work! Axe spray sales are through the roof. Sex sells everything, even synthetic chemicals.

Are you poisoning yourself, too?

But, if you think these teenage boys are silly for buying such products, think about your own personal care products. Do you buy conventional shampoo? Sunscreens? Lotions? Cosmetics? Which toxic skin exposure products are still in your own bathroom, kitchen or garage?

I’ve visited a lot of homes of people who told me they were “super health conscious.” Yet in almost every case when I visit such homes, I still find they’re using conventional laundry detergents, brand-name soaps in the bathroom, toxic skin poison lotions and baby products, etc. It is extremely rare for me to walk into someone’s house and not find a huge assortment of cancer chemical causing products there.

People are poisoning themselves by skin products with synthetic chemicals. And they still think they’re “health conscious!”

Most people, you see, are kidding themselves about protecting their skin from toxic, cancer-causing products. They may follow a fairly healthy diet, but they still bathe their skin in cancer chemicals that damage the brain, liver, heart and kidneys. For some strange reason, many people who are acutely aware of what they put in their mouth are surprisingly unaware of what’s contained in their skin products.

The point of this article is to raise your awareness of what’s in the products your skin comes into contact with, and then to take new action to get all those toxic skin products out of your home.

Action items: What you can do right now

This may sound crazy, but here’s what I want you to do: Go through your entire house, covering every room including the garage, under the kitchen sink, the bathroom closet and so on. Gather up every “chemical” product and throw them all out. (You’re poisoning the environment by doing so, of course, but you’re going to make up for that by never buying these skin poison products again.)

This includes all your conventional cosmetic skin products, soaps, shampoos, fragrance products, cleaning products, laundry products, bug sprays, air “fresheners” and the whole lot (anything similar to Axe spray). Gather them all up and throw them out.

More importantly make a commitment to never buy these skin exposure products again. That’s the only way to enjoy a long-term benefit for your health, of course.

Once this is done, begin to detox your body from these synthetic chemicals using a variety of detox products: Zeolites, chlorella supplements, cilantro, spirulina, etc. Drink a lot of water. Take liver detox herbs to support healthy liver function during all this. (I recommend Livatrex from www.GHChealth.com ).

Within just a few days, your cancer chemical burden will start to fall as your body eliminates the chemicals that have been routinely poisoning it. After six months, your chemical load can drop as much as 90 percent, greatly reducing the chemical stress on your liver and kidneys while sharply reducing your risk of cancer and other neurological disorders.

Over time, your health and skin will improve as your exposure to synthetic chemicals plummets. This action, combined with all the other steps in this 15-day self healing series, will vastly improve your health while slowing or even halting the development of many different degenerative diseases such as cancer, liver disease or Alzheimer’s.

It also seems too simple: In order to achieve lasting health, simply stop making disease. But, the concept is foreign to most people: Making disease? Why would I be making disease?

Mainstream consumers, you see, have been trained by the medical industry to believe that disease strikes spontaneously, without any real cause. One day you have nothing wrong with you, and then suddenly the next day you’re diagnosed with a breast cancer tumor. Shazam! It happens just like being struck by lightning… (and it’s not your fault, you’re told — there’s nothing you could have done about it…)

That’s what they want you to believe, anyway. But the truth is very different: All the most common degenerative diseases — cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, etc. – take many years to grow and expand. A cancer tumor can take 10 years (or even more) before it grows to the size that will show up on a mammogram. That means the tumor has been “under construction” for a decade!

During that time, the patient has been “making cancer” on a daily basis.

By the way, I’ve borrowed this concept from Dr. Thomas Lodi, a brilliant cancer doctor who has a presentation called “Stop Making Cancer.” You can check out his clinic in Arizona at http://www.anoasisofhealing.com or watch his speech for yourself on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKH_…

Dr. Lodi’s concept of “stop making cancer” is so powerful and simple that I borrowed it for this article (with credit, of course) and expanded it to all degenerative diseases. If you want to be healthy, stop making disease!

How disease is manufactured

In reading this, the first question you might ask is, “How do I stop making disease?”

To answer that question, though, you need to understand how disease is created in the first place. All disease begins with an imbalance in the mind or the body (it can originate in either place and then spread to the other).

Disease can be set off by a nutritional deficiency (not enough vitamin D, for example), or a dietary excess (too much homogenized milk). It can be caused by an emotional state such as anger or stress that then spreads to the tissues and begins to create dis-ease in the physical body.

Most disease that’s being “manufactured” in the bodies of people today is created through controllable factors: What people eat, what chemicals they expose themselves too, how much exercise they get (or not), their state of mind, what supplements they take (or don’t) and so on.

There’s a recipe for creating each disease. If you want to manufacture type-2 diabetes, for example, the recipe is very simple:

How to manufacture diabetes:

• Drink lots of liquid sugars and high-fructose corn syrup.
• Consume a huge number of empty calories (junk food).
• Avoid all exercise. Live a sedentary lifestyle.
• Live indoors. Avoid sunshine and the natural world.
• Maintain nutritional deficiencies in vitamin D, selenium, zinc and plant-based nutrients.

If you do this for long enough, you will begin manufacturing diabetes. And before long, you’ll be officially diagnosed with it by a doctor who will say something like, “You’re diabetic.” (Which isn’t really true. You are not defined by a disease. You’re just expressing a certain physiology that’s been named a disease.)

If you want to make cancer, there’s a different recipe:

How to make cancer:

• Expose yourself to radiation (mammograms, CT scans, X-rays, etc.).
• Eat cancer-causing foods like bacon, processed meats and foods with chemical preservatives.
• Avoid all anti-cancer nutrients like superfoods, medicinal mushrooms, spirulina, etc.
• Avoid sunlight. Remains deficient in vitamin D.
• Use lots of toxic personal care products made with cancer-causing chemicals.
• Live a high-stress lifestyle.

Do these things for long enough and you’ll get cancer.

Similarly, there’s a recipe for every major degenerative disease, including kidney stones (drink lots of soda), brain cancer (drink diet soda), obesity (eat more MSG), liver disease (take more pharmaceuticals) and so on.

So if you want to make disease, it’s a very simple matter to do so. Shockingly, most people are following these disease-making recipes right now!

They’re living the “Make More Disease” lifestyle! Every time they wolf down some bacon, or eat processed junk foods, or use conventional personal care products, they are creating disease in their bodies!

Disease doesn’t appear immediately, of course. It takes many years for the daily poisoning of the body to be diagnosed as disease. But make no mistake about the origins of that disease: The body manufactured the disease over many years!

So, when doctors tell patients “There’s nothing you could have done to prevent this,” they are actually lying to their patients. Of course there’s something you can do! You can stop making disease before it gets out of control.

Conventional doctors usually don’t like to acknowledge this because it would give patients the idea that they have control over their own health. Most conventional doctors would rather believe the Big Lie that says doctors control your health, or that disease strikes randomly, without cause. And therefore you have no control over your own health and are dependent on western medicine to take responsibility for your health.

It’s a belief system specifically designed to entrap you in a system of medical dependency (enslavement). Fortunately, you can free yourself from medical enslavement…

How to stop making disease

Each day, depending on what you eat, drink, do or put on your body, you are either moving towards disease or away from disease. The way to stop making disease, then, is to halt any actions that move you toward disease and, instead, pursue actions they move you away from disease (and toward improved good health).

Once you fill your body with living, healing juices, sunlight and regular exercise, you will shut off all kinds of chemical “disease-making” processes in your physiology. And you’ll activate healing processes that move you towards lifelong health. This is how you start making health instead of disease.

The longer you pursue a healthful lifestyle based on superfoods, nutritional supplements, healthy eating and the avoidance of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, mainstream personal care products and other poisons, the faster your healing will accelerate! Beyond the mere halting of manufacturing disease, once your body achieves a certain level of vitality, it will begin to automatically reverse disease. Cancer tumors in your body, in other words, will literally vanish over time. Heart disease can be cured. Diabetes may disappear. Cognitive function will be restored. These are just a few of the many health benefits you may experience when self-healing is in full swing.

Which recipe will you choose?

You see, there is a recipe for disease, but there’s also a recipe for outstanding health. Which recipe will you choose?

Most people inadvertently choose a recipe for disease (it’s the recipe everyone else is pursuing, so it’s easy to go along with). And because they follow that recipe, they get the results of that recipe. That’s why disease should not be surprising to anyone who knows these recipes. If you follow the recipe, you will get the results (good or bad).

So it’s up to you to decide which recipe you wish to follow. You can choose from all the various recipes for disease – which include enormous quantities of junk foods, pharmaceuticals, personal care products and a barrage of vaccines — or you can choose to pursue the recipe for good health. That recipe is based on sound nutrition, fresh fruits and vegetables, time spent outdoors in nature, real sunlight on your skin, targeted nutritional supplements, regular exercise and the elimination of synthetic chemicals from your body. It’s a simple, commonsense recipe that anyone can choose to follow at any time.

The minute you start pursuing the recipe for good health, you will begin to see results. And the longer you pursue this recipe, the more your positive results will accelerate.

Ask your doctor

Remember this the next time your doctor or some other health professional gives you advice. After receiving their advice, ask yourself, “Is this a recipe for HEALTH, or for DISEASE?”

If the advice includes a lot of radiation, chemotherapy, pharmaceuticals, surgery or injections of some kind, it’s probably not describing a recipe for good health. Be wary of any advice that does not resonate with the simple principles of commonsense health… as in, don’t irradiate yourself. Don’t poison yourself (chemo). Don’t cut your body (surgery). Don’t use chemicals to control your physiology (pharmaceuticals). Use these only as a last resort when all other options have been exhausted.

Certainly, if you suffer some sort of accident like a broken leg, then it’s perfectly okay to submit to the necessary surgery, anesthesia or other elements of acute medical care. I’m not against western medicine’s usefulness in emergency care situations. But when it comes to long term habits of good health, be aware that pharmaceuticals, mammograms, chemotherapy, vaccines and most surgeries are really just components of the recipe for disease. So if you choose to follow that route, don’t be surprised at the outcome.

By the way, following the recipe for health may take more self discipline and maturity than following the recipe for disease, but it’s far more rewarding. For one thing, you get to live longer. Better yet, you get to live happier and healthier during all those years. And isn’t that essentially why we’re all interested in the health in the first place?

There is a recipe for perfect health. It’s a recipe that’s available to you right now, and it’s the same recipe that will stop your body from manufacturing disease. Follow that recipe for good health and you will experience far more enjoyment in your life, no matter how long you live.
