I think during my third year of medical school I realized I could not be a mainstream doctor. I watched the treatment that people received in the hospital and not that it was bad but as a student we were required to take a history and physical from many patients on the wards. I realized that the pharmaceutical prescriptions being given by well meaning doctors were not really going to address the problems that people had. When I looked into psychiatry and spent my summer after my first year in medical school at a community health center I became alarmed at the drugs being prescribed. I voiced this to the head psychiatrist at this clinic in New Haven who told me that I was a fool for not wanting to get on the drug bandwagon. I don’t remember what my reaction was at the time but I guess you could say that I was more disturbed by what I saw happening in the clinic than his comments to me. I was a vegan during my medical school years and many years after. And of course through that filter all of my patients appeared to be suffering from the effects of meat eating and the toxic chemicals that were added to the food.

This is a three hour fundraiser featuring the must see DVD Healing Cancer from the Inside Out and the Rave Diet Lifestyle book. Not only do these fundraiser premiums offer a real critique of current cancer care but they propose both in principle and thru the examples of people who have successfully checked cancer a plant based diet focus as the main approach to healing their cancer problem. The DVD critiques the current methodology of statistical sharing with respect to cancer survival and chemotherapy. It becomes clear that in many instances people are being misinformed. The connection between cancer and animal protein is also established. The Rave Diet Book offers over two hundred plant based recipes to address cancer and overcome a number of chronic diseases. This was the highest earning premium for WBAI’s May fundraiser as of May 26th, 2009.

This is a rebroadcast of a program from a few years ago with Bruce Fife, the author of Coconut Cures. Mr. Fife dispels the erroneous information concerning coconut oil as a harmful fat. He points out that the oils of tropical plants like the coconut and palm tree can handle higher temperatures when cooking without denaturing . Much of the discrediting of coconut comes from the venders of polyunsaturated fats. Coconut oil can be helpful to the heart and many other organs. Its uses among indigenous peoples are also highlighted.
