Diet and disease: How many of the diseases we experience in America are caused by the food we eat?
How much are we spending on healthcare to treat diet-caused illnesses?
From the book Eat To Live by Joel Furhmen, MD:
.."People are completely unaware that most illnesses are self-induced and can be reversed with aggressive nutritional methods. …The medical-pharmaceutical business has encouraged people to believe that health problems are hereditary and that we need to swallow poisons to defeat our genes. This is almost always untrue.
"…My clinical experience over the past ten years has shown me that almost all the major illnesses that plaque Americans are reversible with aggressive nutritional changes designed to undo the damage caused by years of eating a disease-causing diet. ….These conditions…can be effectively prevented or treated through superior nutrition. As their medical problems gradually melt away, patients can be slowly weaned off the medications they have been prescribed."

"Not only are common disorders such as asthma associated with increased body weight and our disease-causing diet, but in my experience these diseases are also curable with superior nutrition in the majority of cases. Asthma is an exampleof a disease considered irreversable that I watch resolve regularly. My patients routinely make complete and *predictable* recovery from these illnesses, predominantly through aggressive dietary changes. …Diseases that are considered irreversible I see reversed on a daily basis."

Your info. works for me Amy. One of the major topics in our church is Health. Our Hospital is Loma Linda, Calif. We are killing our selves through our mouth. 5 food groups–Fruit, Veggies, Grains, Nuts, and beans. All washed good and all fresh. I see people totally live on this and they live to be very healthy….and old too. Do I follow this totally being an SDA. I really try. I did not grow up as a Vegetarian but my Boy and family are and they look great. I on the other hand am about 25 lbs over. It is hard to change old, bad habits but we can always keep working on it. With God nothing is impossible. Don’t ever give up doing the very best you can. If you have to eat meat once a week, be sure it is dead as a door knob. Disease comes in the blood and fat. Don’t eat that part. Leviticus 11 tells you the clean meats to eat if you want to follow the Bible from beginning to end and believes the Bible is for"ALL" man kind. Not just yours , mine but Ours. Pray before you go shopping and always have a meal before you go. This is the worst thing you can do is shop hungry. I go through so many Snow Balls this way. Big mistake. Remember it is so hard to learn and concentrate on God when you are sick. That is why He wants us to be healthy.Amy is right, you can reverse illnesses. I have seen that done too. Weight and bad habits is a big one for the U.S. Remember Goodies are a Goodie..not a staple.You get a goodie once a week, and that is it. If you really want to be healthier and lose abit of weight,you can do this, Your obedience to God to take care of this Temple,whom we house for the Holy Spirit, is not impossible. Think,make a list and don’t let your cravings run you. No more Mickie D..those things will kill you. God help us all in this area. Love always in Christ..missleslie
I’m not sure of the statistics but I imagine that about a pennies worth of time and attention for every hundred dollars spent on modern medicine would repair the damage if wisdom were applied instead of technology.
Hmmm, maybe fasting and prayer are not that bad after all?
The FDA in collaboration with Big Pharma cartels and hospital owners know that the more unhealthy people are the more money they make. Every time health reform bills are introduced requesting toxins, harmful chemicals, etc. to be removed from food, beauty products, etc. the bills are declined. With the addition of more harmful ingredients means that public health is destroyed over time, and this only serves to make them richer. They love it that we have such poor habits and use products (shampoos, deoderants, toothpastes, etc) and eat junk and unnatural food (such as made in factories) because these habits destroy people over time.
If the FDA really wanted to protect Americans it would dramatically change its health bill. They would make it law that people should only eat and drink and use natural (mainly organic) products. They would ban the majority of additives which have the nasty effect of causing a person’s body to deteriorate over time. But since the FDA is itself becoming a pharamceutals/drug company it doesn’t bode well for the future of Americans.
I think if you have it in your genes and a family history of heart attacks, cancer etc… there is not much you can do about it other than trying to break that curse through prayer.
If your theory was totally right, how do you explain it when people eat healthy their whole lives and still have heart attacks?, or the little old men in Italy, that live to be a hundred eating bacon everyday?.
My mother had 18 children, weighed 110 lbs her whole life, never even had to wear maternity clothes she is so tiny. She ate like a little bird, only healthy food, never restaurant food. she hates greasy food. She had a heart attack and need a triple bypass surgery a few years ago. she is doing fine now, but her good eating habits never stopped the heart attack.
this is complete quackery–
i developed fibro while eating decently and living an active lifestyle..
my sister had appendicitis while active and eating helathy
my niece developed asthma as an active toddler being fed a helathy diet–she didn’t even like fast food–only wanted to go to Mcdonalds for teh ’surprise’–the toy
A lot of foods are causing illnesses. Hot dogs now cause cancer. But I think stress is the most cause of illnesses.
Now these day I believe you can get food poisoning no mater you are on of not dieting. Just like I sometimes go out to eat, I wonder the people who’s doing the cooking do they wash their hands. Or are they sick with something like a cold. I do. but I still eat the food and when I buy groceries I wonder the same thing if I buy like potato chips, cookies, or even bread. But what is the most important to us, Is where we get the food we eat, and if the dirt of the farm lands are not polluted with contaminated clinical waste or the ocean water where we buy our fish. Now a days, I believe we can catch any disease and don’t even know it, until it’s to late.
I agree to a certain extent. We are what we eat, and yet, there are so many other factors that can come into play also, especially our environment. I do feel however, that the healthiest diet is a simple diet, one that includes mostly fresh vegetables (including beans) and fruits, plus a little meat, nuts, seeds and grains (in that order). If everyone ate like this, there would be far less health problems, but that still doesn’t mean people wouldn’t eventually get ill and die. They would just be healthier longer.
