“The docotor of the future will give no medicine, but will instruct his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease”. Thomas Edison
This is has been my dream and the root of my epiphany last winter. I found the quote in Carol Ritberger’s book that I am reading. I am fascinated that someone like Mr Edison predicted something like this and it has not yet come true. Outside influences have pushed holistic, traditional ways to the side in the name of commercialism and in the name of money.
My hope is that more holistic wellness centres, similar to the centre that I hope to open, will be created and flourish and the practioners will teach people how to read and look after their bodies on their own.
Nutritional Tip -
We are the only mammals who drink milk into adulthood! And we drink milk from a source other than our own species which no other mammal does? What does that say? In the beginning we drank milk out of necessity and lack of other sources of minerals, then as time went on and milk marketing boards were created we were told that milk was necessary to live (there’s that commercialism piece again). Your tip today is - you DON”T need to drink milk to live. There are many other sources of vitamins and minerals that aren’t so hard on our body. It is very difficult to digest cow’s milk. Cow’s have 4 stomachs to digest their mother’s milk! We only have one! Yogurt, cheese and other dairy sources should be taken in small amounts - ramp up your fruit and veggie intake instead.
