As I mentioned in my first post, I also want to include some health related resources that I use and trust. They will include books, websites, articles, or anything health related that I think is useful.
Today, I want to talk about Dr. Weil. Most folks have heard about Dr. Weil, and I would guess to say that most people also think he is a freak.
I have heard people say that he is SO alternative, granola.... or just plain weird. I will admit that I used to think the same thing. That is until my wife forwarded me a few articles from his newsletter.
As I actually read about his ideas and advice, I realized that he is pretty on the money when it comes to health stuff. Even more important, he bases his ideas on actual research. (and not research done by the pharmaceutical companies... but by actual scientists).
I have to admit that this is a huge pet peeve of mine. I really hate folks that spout off about topics with no basis for their opinion or ideas.. or even worse their sources of totally suspect. Dr. Weil references medical journals and quite a few studies done in Europe.
My suggestion is to check out his site and sign up for his newsletter. Read a few issues and judge for yourself whether he is a freak or is just telling the truth (one that Americans don't want to admit is true) that we are poisoning our bodies.
** Note: I have been really been focusing on "eating more healthy" for a while now so that may be why I don't think his stuff is that "freakish"... you may disagree. If you do, please let me know what you think, I would love to hear it.
