"The first is that you understand that very few drugs were ever designed to cure an illness. The purpose of a drug is generally to alleviate (suppress or make go away) a bothersome symptom. Since the drug does this without ever addressing the true cause of the symptom, no healing generally takes place; and in addition, your body now has to deal with eliminating the toxic chemicals of which the drug is composed.
The second is the time aspect. It took many years of assaulting your body with the wrong foods, toxic chemicals, a poor environment, and possibly a great deal of various forms of stress in order to bring it to its current state. You must accept that it will take, at the very least, many months before any great strides can be made in the process of reversing some of this damage. If you are looking for a quick fix, there is none. If you are looking for a quick reduction in symptoms, and are not interested in helping the body heal, try an allopathic medical doctor and some prescription drugs, for I cannot help you.
The third is responsibility. It is your body, and you get to do all the hard work. If you are willing to alter your diet and take the necessary supplements to help push yourself in the direction of healing, then I will happily help you do so. If you are simply looking for an herb or vitamin to replace a drug, please look elsewhere. I do not work by addressing symptoms but rather by addressing causes. Symptoms take care of themselves when their causes are healed. If you have been following the FDA food pyramid, then you are pushing your health in the wrong direction. If you are interested in taking a brief look at some of the diet principles that I teach, you might want to read through my own Food Pyramid.
The fourth aspect of my philosophy deals with facts. A fact or truth is simply something that is, regardless of how many people know it or recognize it. A fact will not change with time, only our beliefs of what are facts will change. With this in mind you need to understand that a great deal of facts regarding healing, are not recognized or accepted by traditional medical science. Every year, more and more of the facts that we in the holistic profession have known for years, get proven to the satisfaction of a small but growing number of open-minded physicians. On the other hand, a few things are proven wrong, and many approved but harmful drugs are finally taken off the market and replaced by equally harmful alternatives. If you will not take any herb, vitamin or nutrient which has not had a double-blind placebo controlled crossover study published, I cannot help you. I train with scientists, clinicians, and physicians who have proven what works in a clinical setting but who may not have published studies, especially in the United States. The U. S. Government conducted a study that showed less than 30% of our prescription drugs or surgeries have been adequately proven to do what is claimed of them. In addition, they showed that over 100,000 people each year are being killed by properly prescribed prescription drugs. In contrast, there are no properly documented cases of death due to unadulterated nutritional supplements. Slight difference to say the least." David Getoff.
