Nutrition Healing

This is where things get crazy and starts challenging your preestablished beliefs about how our body works and its healing capability. We have all talked about the potential benefits of nutrition, body alkalinity and superfoods in preventing diseases. But what about disease reversal? If these nutritious foods are taken in potent quantities in the body, doesn’t it make sense that the body might heal as well. One man who has shed light on this matter is Dr. Colin T. Campbell through his research called The China Study. According to China Study:

Dr. Campbell is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University and Project Director of the China-Oxford-Cornell Diet and Health Project. The study was the culmination of a 20-year partnership of Cornell University, Oxford University and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine.
Therefore, he brings a lot of credibility to the field of natural medicine. Dr. Campbell has been at the forefront of nutrition healing research for the past 20 years. Much of his research focuses on the benefits of nutrition in reversing major diseases and specifically cancer. His work has received so much attention that he was featured on the extra section of Warner Brothers. Check it out. The China Study would open up your eyes to all the other alternatives and possibilities that are out there for disease reversal.

So the question is why don’t we all know about the potential healing power of natural medicine? Practically, if this knowledge was widespread and well known then it would put the modern medical community and the media to shame. If alternative healing therapies exist, it makes sense that the pharmaceuticals and the media would try their best to suppress the success of these alternatives. Prescription drugs has been the leading cause of side effects and deaths in the United States according to Food Matters and many treatments such as chemotherapy, insulin injections, and gastric bypass surgery for chronic diseases like cancer, obesity, diabetes and heart diseases has been far from successful. Insulin injections are only a measure to manage diabetes but doctors blame age for such conditions and patients are made to accept their fate. Obesity and heart diseases are clearly caused by bad nutrition and deficiencies in our diet, regardless the doctors hand out pills to the patients and are told to go back home without proper nutrition advice. Chemotherapy has a success rate of 4% and this makes us wonder why the medical community is still offering it as the main treatment for cancer. About time patients start looking elsewhere and wonder if a better way is out there.
