Affirmation for May 17, 2011: Natural Healing

Fasting and natural diet, though essentially unknown [in today's U.S.] as a therapy, should be the first treatment when someone discovers that she or he has a medical problem. It should not be applied only to the most advanced cases, as is present practice. Whether the patient has a cardiac condition, hypertension, autoimmune disease, fibroids, or asthma, he or she must be informed that fasting and natural, plant-based diets are a viable alternative to conventional therapy, and an effective one. The time may come when not offering this substantially more effective nutritional approach will be considered malpractice.- Joel Fuhrman, M.D., Fasting And Eating For HealthThought of the day:Do you believe in natural alternatives to medication, even something as simple as today's suggestion that diet should be the first course of action when treating disease? Tell us your thoughts or experiences on natural remedies and alternative treatments versus conventional medicine, and whether you think they are effective.TeamDS
