Treat the underlying cause of life’s chronic diseases.
It is said that more than 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates said: “Let food be thy medicine and medicine thy medicine, let thy food be thy food. In fact, it turns out that he never said those words, but there is no “doubt about food … and its role in health and disease” in his writings. It doesn’t matter at all, there were 2,000 years ago, disease was thought to come from a bad idea of ’purification,’ as you can see here and at 0:32 in my video Disease and Disease Prevention: Your DNA is not your destiny.
Now, we have science, and there is “a large body of clinical and natural evidence that shows the great impact of a healthy lifestyle” – Prevention of all diseases such as heart disease, “and prevention of chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer.” But those diseases don’t just run in our family? What if we only have bad species?
According to the respected former chair of nutrition at Harvard, because most of the diseases dedicated to “the death of Western people, we have known for a long time that non-genetic factors often account for at least 90% of the risk. We know this because the rates of leading killers, such as major cancers and heart diseases, vary up to 100-fold around the world, and, “when groups come from low-income countries, their rates of disease almost always change in a new environment.” Behavioral variables have been found, “including certain aspects of food, obesity, inactivity, and smoking 70% of heart cancer, more than 90% of heart disease in adults [type 2] Diabetes “-The foundation that can be prevented by our actions.
If most of the power is in our hands, why do we allocate more resources to treatment than prevention? And speaking of prevention, “even the most discriminating prevention techniques of chrmacology and not supporting improvements in diet and lifestyle can be very expensive. For example, as a result, the treatment of [high] Serum Cholesterol with statins alone can cost about 30 billion dollars a year in the United States and can only have a negative effect on coronary heart disease. The problem of nature is that many pharmaceutical strategies do not address the underlying causes of health in the western world, which are not damaged by drugs. “
It is surprising that chronic diseases that are best treated with lifestyle have been successfully treated with drugs. Why? If you don’t change your diet, you have to take pills every day for the rest of your life. Therefore, Cash-Cow drugs are exactly the drugs we need at least. “Even though diseases that are widely accepted, well-established, require the same lifestyle guidelines as the first line of treatment, doctors often do not follow these recommendations.” “By ignoring the causes of disease and neglecting to prioritize preventive lifestyles, the medical community is doing people a disservice.”
“Traditional traditional care relies heavily on the use of chemotherapy and surgical interventions after the disease has progressed,” while lifestyle medicine relies on preventing disability and total death. “
Dr. Adriane Fugh, director of Permeloutout, an amazing organization I am proud to support, wrote a good editorial right ” “The illusion that the relationship between medicine and the drug industry is the drug industry, which is actually considered all transactions or drug companies, or the relationship between drugs and drug companies … Let’s be a lapdog to BIGE Pharma. Instead of sitting in the lap of our king, let’s turn and bite something tender. “
Doctor’s Note
The organization I mentioned, percmeloout, is a project of the Georgetown University Medical Center.
