  want to get better, that is what you have to do.&nbsp; The first step is to
  read a lot, a whole lot.&nbsp; As we liked to say in our college days,
  &#8220;Don&#8217;t start vast projects with half-vast ideas.&#8221; You have
  to be willing to develop an entirely new relationship with libraries.&nbsp;If
  you are well educated, and especially if you are a health professional, you
  will have to unlearn much of what you&#8217;ve been taught and start afresh
  with the rather disruptive thought that natural healing may actually
  work.&nbsp;If you are not highly educated, you will need to abandon your
  anxiety and fear of reading and doing research.</span><span style='font-size:

  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>To quickly cut through
  the treacle, I ask clients this most pointed of questions early in a
  consultation:</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>&#8220;What are you
  willing to do to get better?&#8221;</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The answer I want, of
  course, its, &#8220;Anything.&#8221;&nbsp;But as with wedding vows or new
  year&#8217;s resolutions, I know better than to hold people too rigorously to
  their dreams.&nbsp;Flexibility was never more necessary than with self-health
  care. I will accept a two-thirds effort, for, as a teacher of some
  experience, I pass anyone at a 65%.&nbsp;More is better, but if you were to
  entirely change two-thirds of your life, I&#8217;d be satisfied and also impressed.&nbsp;Especially
  if you hold to it for more than a year.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>
  <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>And I think you&#8217;d
  be impressed with the results you got.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>There is no such thing as
  a free lunch, a quick fix, or a magic wand to cure illness.&nbsp;I wish there
  were easy answers to people&#8217;s health questions.&nbsp; There
  aren&#8217;t.&nbsp; There are answers, all right, but they are not easy.</span><span
  style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>&#8220;Give a man a fish,
  and he will be hungry tomorrow. Teach a man to fish, and he will always have
  food.&#8221; This is my personal and professional philosophy, because it is
  true.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Modern medicine has
  created more co-dependents even than co-pays. We&#8217;ve learned to hold out
  for a magic bullet, such as a new miracle drug, breakthrough surgical
  procedure, or new organ transplant. What rubbish. Oddly enough, we&#8217;ve
  also &#8220;learned&#8221; to discount the healing power of Nature, and the
  tremendous therapeutic benefit of lifestyle changes, vegetarian diet, raw
  food juices, and vitamin supplements.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
  <p><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Okay, that was then; this
  is now. There is a new paradigm, an entirely new way of seeing health,
  opening in front of us.&nbsp; You have likely heard that the Chinese word for
  &#8220;crisis&#8221; is the same as the word for &#8220;opportunity.&#8221;
  On the other hand, the very word &#8220;patient&#8221; implies passivity and
  powerlessness.&nbsp;The Doctor Yourself philosophy is against that. When
  people ask me for a solution to their particular health problem, they would
  have me fall into the role of being their doctor. The Doctor Yourself
  philosophy is against that, too.&nbsp;Me-teacher-you-dumbbell, or
  me-doctor-you patient, or me-politician-you-voter, or any other paternalistic
  or maternalistic stay-in-your-place tradition will not pass muster with
  me.&nbsp; Such were the old ways, and they are obsolete and unproductive. You
  want productive, you follow leads and dig. Whether it is for oil, gold, or
  information, it requires action, your action. Question authority. Do it
  yourself.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
