‘In Sickness and Health’ Oil on canvas (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The sickness business is booming. Gross revenues look like annual budgets of medium size countries. Profits are up. Just stop and think about the drug companies. Their products have horrible side effects yet they still spend millions to advertise them. Why? because if people die, it doesn’t matter. There are always new kids growing up to buy the drugs. Hospitals are cropping up everywhere. Medical centers are like McDonald’s on each street corner. Our health care system is costing way too much and it will break at some point.
It is sad when we look at the research I have BLOGged about and understand that health can be improved cheaply and safely by changing our diet, exercising, meditating and thinking positive. You will never see anyone advertise this on national TV. Why? because there is no money in being healthy only in being sick. Imagine a large percentage of our great country suddenly got healthy. The trillion-dollar medical & drug system would lose all that. Do you really think they want that to happen?

I found out from a dear friend that whom fought breast cancer. The first doctor and hospital had her go through chemo for months. Later she switched doctors and found out she should never have had the chemo. It was totally ineffective on her type of cancer. When she questioned the original doctor, he said “That’s water under the dam. Everyone gets the same treatment”. Our hospitals are more interested in the money your treatment can generate than your feelings and health. Research research research! You have to take care of your own health and treatments. You are the only one looking out for your well-being. Question everything, get second and third opinions, research treatments and doctors.

When smoking was such a problem, we educated people on the bad effects of smoking. After massive education, people stopped smoking and health improved. unfortunately the young are back to smoking. We need the same type of massive education about diet and it’s impact on our health. For me it started with:
- The China Study by T. Colin Campbell – The ChinaStudy.com
- The Spectrum by Dean Ornish (Clinton’s White House dietician) – www.ornishspectrum.com
- The Biology of belief by Bruce Lipton – www.brucelipton.com
- Randy Jirtle, Duke University – www.randyjirtle.com/
- Food as Medicine by Dharma Singh Khalsa, MD – www.drdharma.com
- Dr Greger, MD – www.drgreger.org
The facts on diet and what we eat is out there and be studied. You may not want to hear about cutting back on animal products but it may save your life and your loved ones. One thing is for sure, if we keep going the way we have been eating a SAD (Standard American Diet) diet, we will end up with a chronic disease, in a hospital and a burden to our loved ones. STOP, READ the above sites, INVESTIGATE what’s out there, and CHANGE your lifestyle today!

Epigenetics are environmental influences that affect our genes. Our body reacts to the environment for good or bad. It’;s reactions cause genes to turn on or be blocked from turning on. It is an elaborate program That adjusts our bodies to new environmental conditions. The three main rules are:
- Diet – diet can cause health to be good with strong immune system or be weak and susceptible to diseases of all kinds. it is your choice! Plant based protein is proven over and over again to aid our bodies in building a strong immune system and fighting disease while animal protein causes inflammation which can lead to a weaker immune system and disease.
- Stress – Stress for early man was running from a saber toothed tiger and surviving. Afterwards the stress was gone. Today stress comes from our jobs, our families, finances, etc. It never ends or goes away in some people. Stress can weaken the immune system and cause diseases.
- Thinking – Dr Bruce Lipton has shown how thinking can cause epigenetic changes that can make us healthier or sicker. We know about placebos that cause us to believe they will heal us and therefore they do. Nocebos are the anti-placebo. If we believe we will get sick, we probably will. Positive thinking and belief will strengthen the immune system, heal or ills and prevent diseases. Negative thinking will cause the opposite effect. Our bodies believe what our minds tell it!
What messages are you sending to your body? If you eat poorly, have stress in your daily life and think negatively; you have a much higher probability of becoming ill with disease than a positive thinking, stressless vegan!

I saw a show the other day that said many dying people were interviewed and asked what their number one regret was. It was regretting they didn’t live the live they wanted to live but one someone else wanted them to live. Thinking positive, living our lives happily do affect our health and well-being. Dr. Bruce Lipton talks about the epigenetics of thought in his many books and talks. When you are on your deathbed, and we will all be there, be happy with your life, with your loved ones and friends. Don’t regret anything. Stress is a bad thing and the stress of regret is very strong!

Web MD says a vegetarian diet may cut the risk of heart disease. A new study shows the hospitalization due to heart disease is down by a third for those following a vegetarian diet over meat and fish eaters. Heart disease is the largest killer of humans in developed countries. You don’t have to give in to this disease, you can fight it! A major weapon in fighting it is DIET. This may be due in part to lower cholesterol in vegetarian diets and higher saturated fats in meat eaters diets. Choose your food well. It may save your life or a loved ones. Diet, lack of exercise, smoking and stress are a fatal attraction.

There are cases were we need a drug to stop an infection or help with pain but most drugs we see on TV are to solve minor things like acid reflex. The side effects are so much worse than the thing we are trying to resolve! Is it really worth taking them? I don’t believe so. These maladies that we are taking drugs for can easily be resolved safely through diet. Acid reflex, most chronic illnesses including cancer and heart disease, gout, obesity, and so on and so on… When will we learn that we have evolved with plants to help us live a healthy life. Man made drugs are no comparison to what nature gives us free. The next time you see a drug commercial take note how many there are and how bad the side effects are. Then note what the drug is supposed to cure. Change your life-style and live healthier.

Fruits and vegetables (Photo credit: nutrilover)
I was in Whole Foods Supermarket yesterday and was pleasantly surprised at the number of non meat dishes in their prepared foods section. They have always had meat-less cold cuts and non dairy cheeses but there is an increase of delicious prepared foods made from vegetables. If you are an avid reader of this BLOG, you already know that vegetables are critical to human health. They give us our medicines but they also give us our health. If you are not a vegetable eater, try some new veggies. Try making them al-dente so they have a crunch to them (they will also have more nutrients in them). Most European cultures favor their vegetable dishes. Why do we Americans typically eat little or no vegetables? Health is your choice. God doesn’t make you sick nor does anyone except yourself. Change your life-style and enjoy better health. Diet, stress, exercise and thinking (positive or negative) are the main causes of healthy (good or bad). See my book on how these four items can bring you horrible illnesses or happy lifelong health! It is available from Barnes & Noble and Amazon as hardcover, paperback or e-book.

Shine from Yahoo ran an article on sodas causing depression, http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/sweet-sodas-soft-drinks-may-raise-risk-depression-183000091.html . They say a new study of more than 260,000 people links soda consumption to depression. Is it any wonder there are more and more cases of depression in our young? Soda consumption is way up from when I was a kid and so is depression related diseases. The study showed 4 or more servings of soda a day lead to a 30% greater risk of depression.

In this video, Marin Veldic, M.D., psychiatrist at Mayo Clinic, discusses the role of epigenetics in mood disorders.This is one of the fastest growing fields of psychiatry. By comparing the blood of patients with bipolar disorder to those of normal patients, they can see epigenetic changes that may be causing depression and mood swings. Things like alcohol, smoking and eating binges can adversely affect your epigenetics and cause genes to activate that cause a bipolar condition.
