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.

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.

Change your life. If you want to get better, that is what you have to do.

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

I believe that alternative healing methods are much more than just temporary or half measures.

Modern medicine has created more co-dependents even than co-pays. We've learned to hold out for a magic bullet such as a new miracle drug, breakthrough surgical procedure or new organ transplant. What rubbish.

I wish there were easy answers to people's health questions. There aren't. There are answers, all right, but they are not easy.
