Dr. Mark Hyman (M.D.) practices medicine and writes bestselling books (he's made the New York Times Bestsellers list four times so far). Dr. Hyman also founded The Ultra Wellness Center, and is considered to be a world-wide leader in "functional medicine" - so when he writes an article for the Huffington Post (the top blog in the country per Technorati), people pay attention.
The article is entitled, "Millions Die Due to Withheld Medical Treatment" and if you can't read it at the link (it will be archived at some point), feel free to check Dr. Hyman's website or contact me -- I've saved a copy in OneNote because I don't want to lose it.)
Practicing Physician Claims Conventional Medicine Corrupted by Greed
You should, too. Why? Because Dr. Hyman is standing up against a huge contingent of his peers when he writes that conventional medicine today is corrupt: that by its co-dependence upon the big pharmaceutical companies, the true cures for such major diseases as diabetes and heart disease lies in lifestyle medicine.
What is Lifestyle Medicine?
Since lifestyle medicine isn't as profitable as conventional methods, it's being ignored according to Dr. Hyman and the result is akin to the Tuskegee Experiments of the 1920s (and if you don't know about this horror, it's worth your time to stop and read what Dr. Hyman's written - just to learn about this).
Dr. Hyman's providing lots of information on the web to help people - his website is great, so is the UltraWellness Center. For example, check out his free series of articles online, "7 Keys to Ultrawellness." Great stuff in here.
Lifestyle Medicine Incorporates Simple Living. Wow.
Dr. Hyman promotes many of the things that simplifiers value. Things like eating whole, fresh, organic foods. Foods that you cook yourself in ovens and on stovetops. Avoiding bad stuff like high fructose corn syrup and mercury. Exercising. Getting enough rest. Avoiding stress. Drinking lots of good water. Taking vitamins. Taking herbs, too. Understanding detoxification. (Did you know that internalized stress can make you fat? Wow.)
