FOOD AS MEDICINE

On St Patrick’s Day 1969 my Dad and I flew from Nome, Alaska to Honolulu where my brother had just been diagnosed with a mental illness at Queens Hospital. I have prayed, searched, and worked for his recovery and that of others since. After he passed on in 2012 I started writing to try to transform our healthcare system, particularly our mental health system. May these books be a help to you and your loved ones, your community, and our world. eBooks at https://www.PlantBasedRecovery.com

RECOVERY

Many people can recover by changing what they eat. A whole food, plant-based lifestyle is powerful!

A low fat, whole food, plant-based lifestyle can help many people prevent and reverse cardiovascular disease.

A lower protein, whole food, plant-based lifestyle can help many people recover from bipolar disorders and schizophrenia.

Adopting a whole food, plant-based lifestyle can help you, your family and friends, and our planet. It is also more humane to the animals.

May you enjoy delicious whole food, plant-based meals with fresh fruit and veggies, whole grains, and legumes (beans, peas, and lentils). For those without heart disease, Dr. Esselstyn recommends eating the whole food, like the avocado, olive, and nut instead of denatured oils made from them. If a person has cardiovascular disease Dr Essetstyn does not recommend eating nuts, avocado, or olives to keep the fat level lower. His studies and while as others including Dr Dean Ornish are remarkable for preventing and reversing heart disease.

The deaths of Rob and Michelle Reiner are so tragic. To help prevent more suffering and tragedies help transform our mental healthcare.

There are so many families suffering because a loved one has a mental illness and tragically some are dying like Rob and Michelle Reiner while their beloved son Nick is incarcerated charged with their murder.

In the semi autobiographical movie “Being Charles” directed by Rob Reiner and written by Nick Reiner and Matt Elisofon, Charlie says that it was never about the drugs; all he ever wanted was to kill the noise.

Many people can eliminate hallucinations and delusions with fasting and/or a very low protein, whole food, plant-based diet for a short time. Many people can recover by continuing on a lower protein, whole food, plant-based lifestyle.

It doesn’t matter how much money or fame or good deeds a family has or does from wealthy to poor millions are suffering in the U.S. and around the world.

Much pain and suffering can be eliminated and many people can recover by following the principles in the eBooks at the website below.

53 years ago today Dad and I flew from Nome, Alaska to Honolulu, Hawaii where my brother, Charles, had recently been hospitalized in the psychiatric unit at Queens Hospital. He had flown from Fairbanks, Alaska to Honolulu after his acceptance to the University of Hawaii Medical School at age 19. He later successfully studied two and a half years of medical school.
