We have been taught to "just eat a balanced diet." We have been taught wrong. The truth is natural healing works.

Much of the fear of doing something wrong vanishes when we are knowledgeable about what we are doing.

Medicine is aptly described as an art, not a science. To this end, four different doctors may have up to four different diagnoses or prescriptions.

Use vitamins in place of drugs. This takes some moxie to do, for we have been taught to be consumers of medicine. We have been taught that anything cheap and safe cannot possibly be effective.

If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. This especially includes your health care.

If you have never tried a plant-based diet, start. If you've never juiced vegetables, start. If you've never taken vitamin C to saturation, start. If you have never done a half-hour fitness workout each day, start. But, there is no such thing as a free lunch, a quick fix or a magic wand to cure illness.

Good health makes a lot of sense, but it does not make a lot of dollars.
