IMMUNE FOR LIFE: NUTRI-PREVENTION
As far as the medical establishment is concerned, chemotherapy—the use of drugs to fight disease—is an almost holy word. As a group, we doctors love to prescribe drugs. If chemotherapy led to good health it might be worthwhile, but we’ve been fed a bill of goods. Chemotherapy does not keep us healthy. If these drugs are as good as doctors claim, how come so many millions and millions of Americans are still afflicted with disease?
Chemotherapy, with its failed promises and often dangerous side effects, is a harsh reaction to disease that should never have occurred. And chemotherapy encourages us to neglect our health. Why take care of ourselves? All we have to do is run to a doctor and get a shot of the new wonder drug, right? Wrong! It was a wise person who said that if we threw all our medicines into the ocean, we’d be better off, but the fish would be in trouble.
“Dr. Fox, you’re not being fair. Lots of medicines are pretty good,” a patient argued the other day. Yes, some medicines work well. We will always need medicines and surgeries for those who do become ill or injure themselves. In some cases, the risk of side effects is outweighed by the compelling need for immediate relief. Most of us, however, most of the time, would be well advised to leave drugs to the fish.
Instead of relying on chemotherapy to treat disease, let’s adopt a new philsophy: Nutri-Prevention.
Nutri-Prevention relies not on drugs but nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, complex carbohydrates and amino acids (the building blocks of protein), to keep your immune system in shape. While chemotherapy makes your body the battleground that disease and drugs ravage as they struggle for dominance, Nutri-Prevention helps turn your immune system into a mighty shield against disease.
