Rice or Drugs?

I don’t know about you, but I sure choose rice over drugs any-day! During his career at Duke, Dr. Walter Kempner treated more than 18,000 patients with his rice diet. They would have died in all other hospitals. The results were so dramatic that many experienced physicians suspected him of falsifying data, because he was reversing terminal diseases with rice and fruit, diseases understood to be incurable by the best of modern medicine at the time.

For the past 100 years there has been a growing body of evidence that living a whole foods plant based lifestyle is maximizes your health.  At Seattle Hypnosis with Roger Moore you can learn hypnosis so that a whole foods plant based lifestyle becomes easy for you. No matter where you may live, I am here to help you learn the hypnosis skills that can improve your health.

Drugs and the Demise of the Rice Diet

What Kempner wrote to a patient in 1954 is as true then as it is now 60 years later. Drugs can be very useful when properly employed and used in conjunction with intensive dietary treatment. However high blood pressure with all its possible complications of heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, blindness is still treated very casually, a striking contrast to the attitude towards other diseases like cancer. Since patients, physicians, and the chemical industry prefer the taking, prescribing, and selling of drugs to a dietary treatment inconvenient to patient and physician, and of no benefit to the pharmaceutical industry, the mortality figures for these diseases are still rather appalling. Despite hundreds of drugs on the market now, high blood pressure remains the #1 cause of death and disability in the world, killing off 9 million people a year, and diet treats the underlying cause. As Dr. Kempner explained to a patient, if you should find a heap of manure on your living room floor, I do not recommend that you go buy some air freshener and perfume. I recommend that you get a bucket and shovel and a strong scrubbing brush. Then, when your living room floor is clean again, then fine, feel free to freshen things up once the underlying cause has been removed.

As the great physician Maimonides said about 800 years ago, any illness that can be treated by diet alone should be treated by no other means.
