Professor Mimi Guarneri M.D., FACC gives a series of 24 lectures on evidenced base changes people can make to improve their health. The first twelve lectures focus on nutrition, food, herbs, and supplements. She provides evidence for her statement that food is information that initiates changes in the body. Eliminating foods that initiate inflammation such as simple sugars reduce problems with many systems in the body, arthritis, gum disease, heart function. Eating high fat foods causes the arteries to be less flexible and explains why people do not feel good after a heavy meal.
She refers to the dirty dozen fruits that have higher levels of pesticide from the Environmental Working Group. She recommends purchasing these organically grown if possible.
Her later lectures cover topics such as turning stress into strength, the power of love, and you are your own best medicine. Under you are you own best medicine: self-healing requires and emotional charged situation, ritual, and hope. The caring relationship between the health care provider and the patient is a powerful factor in the patients prognosis. The administration of a placebo can be an effective treatment in the absence of effective medication.
