Capeman,
Congratulations, I love hearing success stories like that. It would be nice if more doctors encouraged their patients to reverse their diseases through nutrition, instead of just handing out pills. I’m sure many doctors are frustrated by the fact that most people are just too lazy to take the steps needed to improve their diet. They want the quick fix.
I personally am not as healthy as I know I could be. I love donuts, chips (especially pringles), big juicy hamburgers, but I try to keep those things to a minimum, and I make sure my daily diet also consists of fresh organic fruits and vegetables, plenty of fiber, and a tblspoon of flaxseed oil each day.
When I preach my nutritional beliefs to friends I try to make them understand that it’s not so much what you eat as what you don’t eat. The first step to increasing health can be to just make an effort to add good things to your diet, and worry less about reducing the bad things. Give your body a fighting chance to offset the damage caused by the bad stuff.
