Food Isn’t Medicine

Product Information

The author always comes back to building a healthy relationship with food and eating unconditionally. A healthy relationship with food is essential to a person’s well-being, but not because it has medicinal properties.

Forgoing potentially lifesaving chemotherapy and instead looking to a high-fiber diet to cure colon cancer could literally be the difference between life and death.

The evidence that Dr Wolrich provides for his conclusions is unarguable and he has done a superb job of presenting it very strongly and clearly so it's understandable for a wide range of readers. Though at first glance these claims might seem hopeful, or harmless, thinking of food as medicine can actually be dangerous.

We have convinced ourselves that food holds the key to everything - it can make us healthy, make us sick, cure everything from cancer to depression. Believing that food has more power than it does gives us a false sense of control but it’s time to let go. It: finalmente un libro scritto da un vero medico, deciso a fare il proprio lavoro: salvare vite, invece di sacrificare la salute delle persone in nome del profitto.Wolrich ist extrem sympathisch und hat vor allem in der Pandemie viele Fragen von anderen Nutzern beantwortet. That's what struck me early into Mr Wolrich's book, the twisted logic, and the authors sense of self righteousness. It's very easy to get sucked in to some of the food-fads, particularly when you don't know a lot yourself. With so many competing and contradictory ideas being banded about it's nice to have someone explain it all in an unbiased neutral way.

I keep having trouble with the advice to *everyone* (not only those who are recovering from an unhealthy relationship with food, because, as said, it me be necessary for them) to give oneself permission to eat all foods, all the time, as much as you want, even past the point of fullness. Wolrich mentions rightly, that not all people have the time and money to care for themselves, nor always have the mental or physical capacity to treat their genetical or environmental misfortunes. We asked if she should look at her diet – but their advice was no, as long as she was eating a sensible, varied diet.No matter what the new fad diet tells you, or some sensational headline in a tabloid that blows out of proportion some dodgy study performed on five mice, if you stick to those old, tested rules, you will be fine. Josh’s desire to educate others stands upon a foundation of compassion that we might experience more freedom and take our opportunity to question the damaging messages we so easily absorb. Of course Christmas came and the challenge stopped and I piled back on the weight and more, only sticking to plant-based milk.
