pickAn in depth analysis of the ways in which our health policies here in the US are shaped. From the way research is funded and conducted to the non-profit organizations that team up with corporations, the entire system is characterized by a reductionist point of view. This view attempts to break apart the whole into the tiniest pieces possible. It is narrow. Unlike wholeness, which recognizes that the sum is always greater than the parts.
"For the most part, the debate over health care is focused on the supply side rather than the demand, with intense argument over who should pay the bill and not why the bill is so high.... Controlling costs is not the same thing as controlling disease."
Dang. He makes a lot of sense... ?
"For myself, I am opposed to unnecessary violence of any kind: violence against people, violence against the environment, and violence against other sentient beings. Honoring life of all kinds is the holy grail I seek."

AF= Aflatoxin
Colin Campbell began experiments with AF and liver cancer in the mid 1960s. These experiments are explained in detail in his book, The China Study. This book, Whole, is more focused on the debate between wholistic science and reductionistic science. Very interesting stuff.
Read The China Study too!! So much information. I'll have to re-read it.
Try looking up the expanded chart mapping glucose metabolism and other metabolic pathways. The above chart is literally one teeny tiny part of the whole chart he shows.
Dang. The more I read from these doctors who promote a Whole Food Plant Based diet, the more I feel tugged in that direction... Their research is thorough, wholistic, and focused on broad spectrum outcomes. It isn't narrow, or based on an ideology. Especially from Colin Campbell. This is the very last direction he expected his career to take. #thingstoponder #wfpbdiets
