In the days of packed hospitals, burned out health care workers, and no legitimate answers to chronic health concerns, it’s time to consider becoming your own doctor. Now, before anyone goes off the deep end and defends the system as the only option to improve your health, let me be clear upfront that the current medical system is excellent at trauma and emergency care and those services are clearly the best options in those scenarios. However, when it comes to helping people reverse disease and maintain a healthy and high quality of life, the conventional medical model has putrid results, and the stats prove it (like being the 3rd leading cause of preventable deaths, through medical errors and improperly prescribed medications).

Anyone who has become very healthy, knows that it comes from educating oneself and being dedicated to providing a healthy atmosphere for themselves and their family. The reason the hospitals are so packed and overwhelmed is that this education has been completely lost, and as a result people make poor choices around their food, environment, mindset, and other lifestyle factors. It also doesn’t help that “authorities” in these generally trusted industries perpetuate sickness, by refusing to address the gaping holes in their practices.
