Your Health Your Choice
Ted Morter
I'll explain how the great American tradition of a well-balanced diet, made up of the "basic four" food groups, has set you on a course to slow-often painful and certain-self-destruction.
Sound radical? It came as a surprise to me, too, when I realized where the research I was doing was leading. It led to concepts that take the mystique out of health. This is how it happened.
Over twenty years ago, I began devoting my energies to what I saw as "making sick people well." My health care practice had grown rapidly, and most of my patients improved greatly.
While it is axiomatic that a well body needs no treatment, few of us are completely well. The most common cause of "unwellness" is diet. More specifically. the real cause of our lack of wellness is the "recommended" diet advocated by most nutritionists of today.
There is no doubt about the efficacy of the "standard American diet." As our western dietary customs spread throughout the world, our western "unwellness" spreads also. The cardiovascular problems of the people of Scandinavia, Japan, and other areas and countries are increasing to a point that rivals our own. Other health problems, such as increased bacterial and viral diseases. have also increased as our high-fat and high-protein diet spreads. Efficacy of diet then becomes causality: diet is more than effective for health; it can cause wellness or unwellness. High stress, high fat intake, high life, and high protein foods all contribute to our "unwellness."
