Hello Lynn,

Scientists have discovered a powerful new drug
that may help cure all chronic illnesses.

It is a drug you take every day.

What is it?

Well, you can find it at the end of your fork.

It's called food.

Mounting research shows that there is no magic
bullet to treat heart disease, cancer, diabetes,
Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, allergies,
digestive disorders, headaches, fatigue, or any
of the myriad problems we suffer from in the
21st century.

But increasing evidence also shows us something
else.

It shows that food is the most powerful "drug"
we have not just to prevent, but also treat,
cure, and reverse most chronic illnesses.

Unfortunately, most physicians did not learn the
two most important things we need to know about
in medical school -- nutrition and the role of
the environment and toxins in our health.

My goal is to help my patients heal and get
better and I have no particular allegiance to
any type of treatment -- whether it is a drug,
surgery, radiation, or new procedure.

I have at my disposal the best medicines and
pharmaceutical treatments. I can send patients
to the best surgeons and specialists anywhere in
the world.

But time after time, I find the most powerful,
fastest acting, and most dramatic results come
from using food as our main medicine.

I use food for healing, not because I believe it
is better to use natural treatments than to use
drugs, but because it works better and only has
positive side effects.

And I'm not alone.

This June, I will be giving the keynote speech
on the history of nutrition and medicine at a
course in Baltimore called "Food as Medicine,"
sponsored by the Center for Mind Body Medicine.

This course breaks important ground in bringing
nutritional science to healthcare professionals
in a digestible, practical, hands-on format.

Dr. Jim Gordon, who was the chairman of the
White House Commission on Complementary and
Alternative Medicine, pioneered this course more
than seven years ago. He was recently honored
as one of the five pioneers of integrative
medicine by the Bravewell Collaborative and has
been a leader in mind-body medicine, nutrition,
and healing for nearly 40 years.

Over the last seven years, he has trained
hundreds of practitioners, including faculty
from more than 50 medical schools, which are now
including this knowledge of how to use food as
medicine in their curriculum.

Clearly, things have changed.

I remember a food-related meeting years ago,
which included the nutritionists, doctors,
chefs, and owners of Canyon Ranch, where I
worked. I made it very clear during that
meeting that I believed the future of nutrition
and the culinary arts must recognize the
therapeutic value of food to heal chronic
illnesses.

As soon as the words "food is medicine" left my
lips, I was under attack.

The vehement response from the chief chef was
that food is only about good taste, not good
health, and that we were not the Mayo Clinic.

Fortunately, this antiquated view is changing.

More and more food services, restaurants, and
other institutions are recognizing the healing
power of food and are including healing foods as
part of their offerings.
