In order for any innovative health strategies to become effective over the long haul, we must begin a revolution in public health consciousness that primarily pays attention to the holistic or mind-body-spirit connection to the food we eat!

For most of us, in the past seventy years, the responsibility to heal ourselves has been given up to the medical and pharmaceutical industry: doctors, nurse, hospitals and drugs. They may be able to save us in emergencies, but they surely can't cure us. That's why we have lots of healthcare and not enough health! With the increase of the use of pharmaceutical drugs, the appeal of corrective medicine has almost eclipsed preventive measures as the scientifically valid approach to healthcare.
