Food as Medicine, Part 1
December 3, 2014
Food as medicine: a conventionally-trained MD takes this proposition to its logical conclusion—he’s a physician farmer! Dr. Ronald Weiss is realizing a lifelong vision of how to make people healthy—by starting a model 348 acre farm in Long Valley, New Jersey. Ethos Health, a community-based agricultural project, is the culmination of his dream. There, patients raise their own food and learn about healthier lifestyles to combat illness. Dr. Weiss describes his father’s remarkable response to a natural, plant-based diet, which enabled him to beat the odds with pancreatic cancer; this became the inspiration for Dr. Weiss’s campaign to change the medical paradigm from drug-based to food-based. Why not GMOs or conventional produce? Dr. Weiss details the reasons why natural, organic produce trumps plant foods raised on synthetic fertilizers with chemical pesticides. Click HERE for part 2.
