Food Choices Page #6

Since everyday we're

bombarded with TV ads,

infomercials, news talking

about the new food trends.

How can we know who's

telling the truth,

and has honest and

unbiased science

behind their products?

- The media always approaches

things with the idea

that if we're going

to interview somebody

about diet, we have to let

somebody with a different

opinion give their opinion.

Alright, so here's what happens.

Someone like Colin Campbell,

at Cornell university

writes this book,

the China study.

It has hundreds and

hundreds and hundreds

of references, it

represents decades of very

meticulous research,

work that he did, right?

And so they're going to

interview him, well then

they go find somebody that's

promoting a paleo diet,

or a low carb diet

because we have to have

the contrary opinion.

That person may have

written a terrible book,

that's a little more

than a storybook,

it's not referenced,

it has no credibility,

but in the eyes of the

public, now those two

are equal, Colin has an opinion,

and this other person

has an opinion.

So it confuses people, and

it gains traction that way.

- We tend to look

at the fast food industry

as the big villain,

responsible for all the havoc

surrounding food choices.

But these same companies

that are contributing

to the problem may

also hold the key

to the solution.

It is a supply and demand issue,

so if enough people

begin demanding healthy,

plant-based options, perhaps

that could be a good approach.

After all, it is us the

consumers who should dictate

what the market has to offer.

And not the other way around.

- You can make better,

cleaner, healthier products

by incorporating more

plant-based foods

into your products, and

not to shy away from that.

So, I don't take a

negative approach like down

with these fast foods.

We need to make them understand

that they can still

make money, and they

can still have a

sustainable business,

because there are

people out there

that want this food.

We just have to make

it available to them.

- Most people

rely on their doctors

for information about

diet and nutrition.

But several medical

school programs

show that doctors get very

little training on nutrition.

Sometimes, none at all.

- As I went through

medical school,

and I went through

residency, and I started

after that, working on

my own as a physician,

after awhile, I became kind

of a little bit frustrated

with my inability to

really, really help people.

Because what i

thought was happening,

was that, I was just

basically seeing patients,

asked to see them very quickly,

and was really left

with limited options

as far as what I could do.

I really felt what i

needed to do with the time

that I had, was left to

do, was just basically

treat symptoms, instead of

trying to get to the root cause

of the problem, or the root

cause of their disease.

So, it left me basically

practicing I think the kind

of medicine that the

majority of people are

practicing in the U.S.,

which is pharmaceutical based

medicine, and I don't have

a problem with medication.

I think medications are

wonderful, medications

are great, they're necessary

for a lot of people,

they are really the only option.

For many people

they're a good option.

But I think what we're

missing is that there's

something else that's out there.

- I was outsourcing my

health, to somebody else.

I was coming along saying,

"here's some money,

"will you fix me,

I'm busy over here."

And when are you

going to come up

with a drug that's

going to like, cure me?

- By using more

chemicals to correct

the imbalance, we're

actually causing

the imbalances to

be even stronger.

I found that people

who've been on medications

for a long time, are developing

a lot of side effects

from those medications,

where then are causing

other organs in their

bodies to become diseased,

their functioning is

weakening, their overall health

is weakening, their

immune system is getting

deficient, if

something is destroying

you really need to infuse

that with something

that's going help rebuild it.

- So, if somebody

comes along and says,

"you know, doctor, I can take

this patient, and by doing

"these simple things, you

know changing their diet,

"getting them to eat a

little bit differently,

"more plant-based,

getting them to exercise

"a little more, do you

realize that I could make

"this diabetes

essentially, if you were

"to test them again,

virtually go away?"

And a lot of doctors

in this country,

some may be familiar

with the idea,

but a lot of them,

even to this day,

would still say, "no,

you know, I don't think

"that would be possible."

- The cause of most of

our diseases and the cure

is within anybody's reach

who gets the knowledge.

The problem is, is they

have to make some change.

That's a small problem.

The real problem is

there is no money

in doing the right thing.

There's money in

selling you statins,

and blood pressure pills,

and powerful arthritis drugs,

and laxatives, and antacids,

that's where the money is.

So that's where

the education goes.

- We have to shift the dollars,

from expensive procedures,

and shift it more

towards education,

teaching people, showing

them about their disease,

and why it's there, and

teaching them the things

that they can do

day in and day out

that would positively

impact that disease,

and possibly even get

it certainly improved,

and maybe even

reversed in some cases.

- You can expect artery disease,

to stabilize and reverse,

and the symptoms to go away,

you can expect the type ii

diabetes, if it's really

type ii diabetes, to be

cured 100% of the time

with diet change and

associated weight loss.

You can expect the

arthritis' to improve,

and go away and be

cured, many times,

with your inflammatory

arthritis'.

The bowel problems, all

the way from indigestion,

to constipation, to

colitus, you can expect

to cure when you direct

your attention to the cause

of the problem and you fix it.

- On the

supplement aisle is where

things get really crazy.

It seems like every product

can improve our health,

in one way or another.

Some support each of

our different organs,

others give us energy,

stimulate our immune system,

prevent colds, reduce appetite,

or promote weight loss.

It makes me really confused.

If they're all so good for

us, should we even have

to worry about eating healthy?

- Too

tired, too often?

Try rybutol.

If you, too, need extra

amounts of thiamine

and riboflavin, rybutol

can help you gain

new strength, new energy

let just one person

among thousands of users

tell you about amazing

benefits gained from rybutol.

- There's some products

out there that could

be beneficial to our health,

and there's nothing

wrong with them,

but I think the problem

comes when people

overdo or overuse

that one product,

and look at is as you
