Nutrition-Based Medicine: The Key to Healing in the 21st Century Obesity, clogged arteries, Type-2 diabetes, many cancers and autoimmune diseases -- in fact, most of the chronic diseases that absorb most of the time, energy and finances in the health care system, are driven largely by the Standard American Diet, which is laden with an excess of animal-based products, refined carbohydrates and processed oils, along with many other adulterants. Changing to truly health-supporting food choices predictably results in dramatic improvement - if not complete resolution - of these fearsome diseases. Dr. Klaper will explain the (mal)nutrition-based pathophysiology of these common maladies, and present practical (and tasty) methods for instituting food choices that can effectively ameliorate these fearsome diseases!
