Dr. Oz shared the stage with Dr. Northrup and Perricone today and talked about trail-blazing ideas that helped to change the way physicians view the human body. It is more a matter of Western Medicine having lost its way and we had to rescue them from their own horrendous perceptions of what constituted Health and care for patients.

Of particular interest to me was Dr. Northrup’s statement that during medical school, the womb of a woman was seen only from the context of disease and the view of pregnancy was virtually robbed of any life-asserting qualities, but rather female reproductive systems perceived ONLY from this model of disease or degeneration. How sad was that?

Not as sad as the fact that she had to close the door when she spoke to her patients about diet and health when her colleagues were so stupid as to have the point-of-view that food had no bearing on a person’s health and healing. That is the true tragedy that we have been working on for nearly forty years in order to reverse the stupidity of Western Medicine and untrained professionals who practice medicine without knowing anything about whole foods and natural health.

Thank goodness that Dr. Northrup and others have ignored their cohorts and been brave enough to make the changes. If patients had not begun to demand that physicians know more than the old school crap about diet; then there would have been very few doctors who would have followed people like Dr. Northrup or Perricone.

But let me be clear…these doctors are not the first to do this! No, they listened to others, and then decided to look further into this. Then they were honest enough to pay attention to what they found and make the changes in their practices. It is truly the other pioneers in Wellness who have sounded the Call to Reason. This is ancient knowledge and has been around for thousands of years. It was the monster egos of doctors in Western Medicine and the greed of the pharmaceutical industry that blinded so many to the truth. At least things have changed as we yelled loud enough for more people to hear our message…

Watercress is good, but don’t abandon your bananas! You can eat both on a regular basis with a diet filled with variety. Salmon and all other whole foods are essential, not only for reducing inflammation, protecting the heart, preventing the conditions for cancer or hormonal imbalance in the human body, but for genuine and lasting WELLNESS.

Doctors are still possess a predisposition to gravitate to single foods, single herbs, single nutrients; but that is immature thinking on their part. They are very NEW to all of this, so forgive them and be patient with their long learning curve. Do not listen to them when they try to reduce the power of a whole food down to one chemical constituent of that substance. Synergy is the magic of whole foods, herbal formulas, and nutritional supplementation. Western Medical doctors are like young children learning more every day in school. Eventually they will glean more and more information from the true Healing Arts that have been giving you this knowledge for thousands of years.

At least some of these pioneers in Western Medicine have decent vision and can see the difference whole foods and a healthy Lifestyle makes in the appearance of their patients. That’s a good sign…

Get over the ‘canola oil’ syndrome! It is not a healthy oil. Yes, on the olive oil, nut and seed oils, and cold water fish…. Whole Grains are not cereals or breads or processed foods, by the way – just in case any doctors are reading this Blog. Whole Grains are by the very nature of the name are WHOLE… Not oatmeal, but oat groats. Not cereal, but organic brown rice. Not wheat bread, but the actual whole grains cooked for several hours. At least Dr. Northrup was aware of the macrobiotic diet. Doctors need to go back to school and gain a better understanding of whole foods, food preparation, and gardening. That is what will make medicine sustainable for any culture or population…

There was a time when these forward-thinking doctors who had to learn what ancient knowledge from the past held out to them for healing their patients would have risked. They stood to lose their medical licenses. Now they are making millions writing books, making appearances, and practicing in the old traditional ways. They still have a long distance to go, but it’s a reasonable start. Medical training needs to change… The drug industry has to change… People need to learn how to live a healthy Lifestyle and be their own best advocates for true Wellness.

Chia Seeds for weight loss? Fiction? OMG… Is Dr. Oz really going to give away his power of common sense by referring to a study? Do they ever learn? Look, if you eat Chia Seeds and other seeds and nuts along with other healthy whole foods, you will indeed transform your body to your ideal weight. Just do it and ignore the physicians behind the curtain… When you begin to find your body changing, because you changed your diet to a plant-based, primarily raw foods and completely organic whole foods diet; then you can go back to your doctor’s office and show off your beautiful body and say, “See! It’s true and I am living-proof!”
