The Seven Laws of Nutrition Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts

That med schools don't teach nutrition is I think one of the strongest statements yet about the sad state of scientific merit pursued by conventional medicine. It was Hippocrates himself who said, "Let thy food be thy medicine." And in fact, the history of medicine is steeped in the use of plants for health and healing. The very word pharmaceutical means "medicine from plants." And yet today, conventional medicine has not only ignored plants and nutrition, it has actively sought to discredit it.

Psychiatry and disease mongering: Road Rage Disorder is latest spontaneously "discovered" disease Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I tell you, there is no greater con in the history of the world than this con being perpetrated by Big Pharma and all the major players in conventional medicine: The FDA, medical journals, psychiatry, med schools and even the mainstream media (which, remember, accepts hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising from drug companies, thanks to the fact that direct-to-consumer drug advertising is still absurdly legal in this country). You want the blunt truth on all this? Here it is: Healthy people take no drugs, period.

Bastyr graduates learn integrated medicine, without the influence of Big Pharma: an interview with Dr. Joseph Pizzorno Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Mike: I have another question for you about the school -- one of the big criticisms of conventional med schools is the influence of pharmaceutical companies, and I'm curious how pharmaceutical companies' information and research are integrated into Bastyr University. Dr. Pizzorno: Well, we give our students basic training in pharmacology, and the basic drugs, but they don't get detailed by the drug companies.

Why organized medicine wants to outlaw nutrition and turn healers into criminals Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

The fact is they never learned that in medical school. med schools don't teach nutrition. These doctors are clueless about it unless they went outside mainstream medicine and learned on their own. When doctors find that they're out of work because people are healthy, because they're avoiding prescription drugs, eating healthy foods, and using medicinal plants, we might retrain those doctors to become health coaches. They could go into nursing homes and schools, and be hired as health coaches teaching people how to be healthy. There's an idea!

Ethics: the all-important lesson that's rarely taught in medical schools or public schools Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

We have a situation in this country where people may stumble across the subject of ethics on their own, or they may receive an education from non-traditional sources such as family members or participation in organized religion, but they sure don't get ethics from med schools. At the same time that we have people who stumble across ethics and end up incorporating a philosophy of ethics into their lives, we also have another group of people who never embrace ethics and who basically run around society as business leaders, medical leaders, CEOs of drug companies, and political leaders.

How to slash national health care costs by 90% through education, nutrition, and a ban on junk food marketing Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

I find it absolutely appalling if not downright ridiculous that the people in our country who are responsible for health don't understand the fundamentals of nutrition. That med schools don't teach nutrition is I think one of the strongest statements yet about the sad state of conventional medicine. These people need to be taught nutrition. It was Hippocrates himself who said, "Let thy food be thy medicine." And in fact, the history of medicine is steeped in the use of plants for health and healing. The very word pharmaceutical means "medicine from plants.
