Well Being Journal Magazine Sept/Oct 2017 Back Issue

William Davis, MD, advocates that we be aware of the pitfalls of modern medicine—greed, high-ticket drugs and procedures, and its desire for greater revenues—and use the knowledge that has exploded in the Information Age and is exposing the current healthcare system for “the profiteering behemoth it has become.” Proliferating information now gives the individual power to be smarter than their doctors and administer their own care without the pitfalls of the system. John Poothullil, MD, introduces new thinking regarding the theoretical notion that insulin resistance is a proximate cause of type 2 diabetes. He provides evidence from twenty years of research that long-term consumption of grains causes fat cells to become so full that glucose must remain in the blood, despite the presence of insulin, causing high blood sugar and eventually diabetes. Ellen Tadd, author of The Infinite View, discusses how direct spiritual experience gave her answers to central questions about her life and that of those around her. In this interview, she discusses destiny, choice, meditation, vision, the power of positive attitudes, and how she helps others in her counseling practice.
