 In fact, I've completed thousands of hours of study—
6,000 hours at last count—into nutrition, the causes of disease, the causes of health, the pharmaceutical industry, and other similar topics. Many doctors graduating from medical school today have but a single hour of training in nutrition. Just one clock hour—60 minutes. Yet, my training on nutrition and health spans thousands of hours. Thus, if you want to compare the number of actual hours on subjects like nutrition, the knowledge that I obtained through dedicated study far exceeds that of doctors graduating from medical school. |

 Overeating, on the other hand, of even health foods, is one of the main causes of disease and premature aging."2 Jesus, in the Essene Gospel of Peace, Book One said:
And when you eat, never eat unto fullness. Flee the temptations of Satan, and listen to the voices of God's angels. For Satan and his power tempt you always to eat more and more. But live by the spirit and resist the desires of the body. And your fasting is always pleasing in the eyes of the angels of God. So give heed to how much you have eaten when you are sated, and eat always less by a third. |

 The bottom line to all of this is that Dr B is a true international hero when it comes to having the wisdom to recognize the fundamental causes of disease and the courage to speak up about it and tell the truth as he sees it. If we had more doctors like this in the world, our world would be free of 90% of all chronic disease. The healthcare industry would be a fraction of its current size, and the pharmaceutical industry would be practically nonexistent. We'd all be healthier, happier, and we'd live longer. |

 And in that time, I've also written at least 1,500 additional articles on health, reviewed a couple thousand news reports and researched items on healing foods, the relationships between foods and health and the true causes of disease. And out of all of that research, the most astounding thing I've learned is not about one particular herb, or the healing effects of some nutritional supplement, but rather that the best and most powerful healing strategies – I call them health habits – are available to you free of charge. |

 So you see, if you backtrack from conventional medicine's explanations about the causes of disease, and you keep seeking deeper and deeper causes for the symptoms, then you fairly quickly get to a point where conventional medicine has no clue, because they can't tell you what causes insulin resistance. Yes, they can describe the biochemical mechanisms, but they can't tell you what causes that biochemistry to take place.
The bottom line is that the leading thinkers in conventional medicine don't understand the causes of these diseases at all. |

 Now, I've spent 5,000 hours studying nutrition, health and the causes of disease. I poured those 5,000 hours into the creation of this Honest Food Guide. That's my background for understanding these cause-and-effect relationships. Your average doctor has spent 60 minutes. That is unbelievable. It shouldn't be allowed in this country. They shouldn't be allowed to practice medicine.
Ben: What do you think is the main reason people are more predisposed toward the diseased side of this pyramid, even those who truly know what is more healthy for them and what foods are going to benefit them? |

 They do nothing to correct the underlying biochemical causes of disease. Simultaneously, most prescription drugs cause nutritional deficiencies which lead to further progression of chronic disease.

 They actually seem astounded, too, because they have no concept of the true underlying causes of disease.
The real causes, of course, are all the same: lack of nutrition, inability to eliminate metabolic waste products, exposure to toxic chemicals, excessive stress and a lack of circulation and energy. These core causes can express themselves in a myriad of different ways, and conventional medicine has made a habit of attaching a different disease name to each of these expressions. |

 You can't alter the health of the population unless you address the underlying causes of disease: junk foods, toxic food additives and ingredients, overzealous drug promoters, lack of fresh air, sunlight and water, and nutritionally ignorant doctors who still don't teach patients how to be healthy.
If we limit our debate to who gets health benefits and who pays for them, we will only find ourselves funding an increasingly disastrous system of financial life support for chronic disease. |

 Doctors learn about the causes of disease, not the causes of health, and their training of treatments is dominated by "educational seminars" from drug companies who provide a strongly biased education that eliminates the possibility of using diet and exercise to prevent disease and promote good health. The bottom line? Unless a doctor has spent his or her own time studying nutrition, they may have received as little as one hour of training on the subject during four years of medical school. |

 Number two: Distract people from the real causes of disease so that everyone continues to believe that disease is just a matter of bad luck or bad genes, and that only drugs can treat or cure any disease.
It seems that everybody out there is greedy and wants to make more money. And most don't really care who suffers in order to make that money. The politicians, they want to get in power. How do you get in power? You keep big, rich companies happy. That's how you get in power, and that's how you stay in power. |

 Until conventional medicine grows up and starts to recognize the vibrational nature of the universe, and how the human body is more than a reductionist collection of its parts, medical researchers will remain mystified about the true causes of disease. They will continue to explain the causes of these diseases by describing the effects because they don't really know the true causes. Those causes don't fit the current model of scientific understanding.
That's why, as Deepak Chopra says, today's medical researchers are fantastic technicians, but terrible healers. I agree completely. |

 Compared to the investment in studies seeking genetic causes of disease, the most significant returns were generated on the investment in studies of infectious disease. Polio, measles, hepatitis, liver cancer, ulcers, and cervical cancer were all controlled or shown to be controllable during the last half of the twentieth century through the control of infectious agents.12
It is easier for non-experts to track the thinking in medicine than to comment on it. As was seen with ulcers, infectious causation was recognized only after a compelling body of evidence had been amassed. |

 These prescriptions for reforming the FDA mirror conventional medicine's flawed philosophy, by the way, by focusing on treating symptoms while ignoring the root causes of disease. At the FDA, the continued pattern of scientific fraud, intimidation and censorship is only a symptom of a deeper, fundamental problem: The fact that top FDA officials are, in fact, corrupt, criminal-minded bureaucrats who are responsible for the deaths of countless Americans. You can't cure this cancer by treating its symptoms; you have to get rid of the cause of the cancer. |

| It is forcing researchers to rethink some cherished ideas about medicine, from what makes an ideal drug and the design of clinical trials to the underlying causes of disease.20
CAM embraces many different practices but they all tend to share the same broad holistic perspective. In essence, this says that a healthy body is a system in hatmony with itself and with its surroundings. Moreover, diseases can be created by a fault that is disttibuted over the whole body rather than in one specific part. |
| Although drugs tailored to a particular person's genetic make-up are not yet around the corner, as recent hype has suggested, our knowledge of the underlying causes of disease has increased enormously and continues to grow, thanks to the foundations that have been laid in this worldwide undertaking over the past two decades.'15
Biobanks are necessarily large and, as such, draw the public into the infrastructure of medicine in a way that has not been possible before. |

| And the reason, once again, is that veterinarians have to understand the true causes of disease and the relationships between nutrition and health. They have to attempt to educate pet owners about how to keep their pets healthy. And the number one way to do that is to give their pets outstanding nutrition so that they don't experience disease in the first place.
Nutrition and farm animals
Moving on from household pets and dogs, let's look at some other mammals where the relationship between nutrition and health is rather apparent. I'm talking about farm animals. |

 And most conventional physicians just kept on prescribing the drug, oblivious to the true causes of disease or health.
Given all the damning evidence about Vioxx and its handling by Merck, does the company apologize and try to make amends? Of course not. Merck said in a recent news release that it "acted responsibly and appropriately as it developed and marketed Vioxx."
See, it's not just that these pharmaceutical companies act with reckless endangerment to the public, it's also the stunning fact that they don't see anything wrong with it. |

| So it just goes to show you that if you're looking for education in nutrition, medical schools are certainly the wrong place to go. And sadly, our nation's doctors really don't know much about nutrition.
Many doctors unknowingly propagate nutritional myths
Just as sadly, many of them think they do. They propagate nutritional myths as a result. Those myths include things such as, "Vitamins aren't beneficial." Or "All you need for optimum nutrition is three meals a day." These and other nutritional myths are what they hear in medical school and in the popular science journals. |

 With every passing day, we seem to hear more and more reports linking our growing health problems to the increasing level of chemicals in our modern environment. Yet, despite these reports and the accompanying increasingly urgent warnings about these chemicals from scientists specializing in environmental medicine, the medical world appears to be deaf to these fears.
The reason for this widespread apathy originates in medical school, as few doctors are even taught about most modern-day chemicals. |

 The naturopathic physician seeks to treat the causes of disease, rather than merely to eliminate or suppress symptoms.
Treat the Whole Person
Health and disease result from a complex of physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social, and other factors.
Naturopathic medicine recognizes that the harmonious functioning of all aspects of the individual is essential to health.
The multifactorial nature of health and disease requires a personalized and comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment. |

 THREE
THE CAUSES OF DISEASE
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), there are six external causes of disease (Six External Evils) and seven emotions that cause internal disease. This may seem like an oversimplification, but it is in fact quite comprehensive. Again, the principles of diagnostic classification, unlike contemporary Western scientific medicine, which can produce the name of a disease with no apparent treatment, is strictly a guide for arriving at corresponding treatment modalities. |

 What I want to do here is give you some very specific things to do that can address each of those four causes of disease. I'm going to list many, many things for you to consider doing. Do not be overwhelmed by this list. If you are reading this don't think that you must do all of these things starting tomorrow if you want to prevent and cure any disease you have. Consider going at a nice easy pace. Consider adding some things slowly into your life. Do these things at a pace and level that you feel comfortable with. Please note that this is not the complete list. It is a good starting point. |
| In my opinion, eating food that comes out of a microwave is one of the causes of disease. Convection ovens are standard ovens where the heat is simply moved with a fan. These are fine. Infrared ovens are also okay. Question: How do I change my body pH from acid to alkaline? Answer: Do all the things in Chapter 6.
Question: You say it's all about the money, but it seems like you are really rich and have been rich most of your life, and you charge for your newsletter and Web site. It seems like you are only about the money too.

| This group knows that nutritional deficiencies are one of the major causes of disease. This group is going to continue to strip all of our food supply of vital nutrients, therefore guaranteeing that people around the world continue to get sicker and sicker, and the need for drug consumption will appear to become more and more important. This group is only concerned with selling more drugs, not with preventing or curing disease. To read more on this go to my Web site, www.naturalcures.com.

| There is absolutely no research being done on the real causes of disease. There is absolutely no research being done on any non-patentable natural method to prevent, treat, or cure disease! Never give money to anybody who is going to do "research" for medical purposes. You are only giving more money to the drug companies!
Question: Are all medical doctors bad and evil?
Answer: No. I believe most people who got into the medical profession sincerely and genuinely wanted to help people. The problem is once you go to medical school you are in effect being trained by the drug industry. |

 They have a right to go through a temporary increase in symptoms if they believe it will be beneficial to understanding the causes of disease. I often say that mental disorders and altruism are not mutually exclusive. It shortchanges the humanity of people who have some of these disorders to say that we are not going to allow them to participate in any studies to get at the underlying causes of the disorder."21
The public had a mistaken understanding of the severely mentally ill and their capacity for rational thought, several researchers said. |
