Nature and Chronic Diseases

Dr. Nicholas Ivan Calvino

Dr. Ronald Lawerence, Assistant Clinical Professor, UCLA School of Medicine, said: "The big drug companies routinely provide medical schools with free equipment, free computers, free supplies, free seminars, as well as large grants of money. In return for this support, the medical schools refuse to teach courses on natural medicines and nutritional therapies. This is tragic, because these kinds of safe, natural alternatives can help alleviate many types of health problems without dangerous side effects. As a result, most physicians only learn to treat symptoms without addressing the underlying disease. So whenever a doctor suggests some kind of pharmaceutical drug as the solution to a medical problem, remember that this doctor is only doing what he or she was taught in school: "Treat medical problems with drugs, and if that doesn’t work, well . . . There’s always surgery."

The answer to our health care crisis is to return to the sovereign knowledge inherent in our God-given resources, practice sound eating and lifestyle habits, and supplement with proper nutrition based on our individual needs. This places more responsibility and urgency in protecting our natural resources. Don’t be mislead into thinking that science can substitute or recreate nature. The technology may be there, but the paradigm is lacking. We shouldn’t allow our lives to be subjected to "test tubes" and experimentation. As for me, give me what is natural and pure. Nature has the answers to our chronic disease problems—Right Now!
