    About this ebook

    The extensive consumption of high calorie yielding sugar containing foods and drinks is causing a huge amount of illness in America. This is a potential threat to our culture and can be compared to the effects of chronic lead poisoning that contributed to the decline of the Roman Empire. Lead, leaching out of the glaze used in their wine containers caused multiple symptoms. Though their cause was recognized and reported by one or two individuals, their warnings were ignored.Lead caused the wine to have a sweet taste, thus making it more desirable and increasing its poisonous effects. Sugar, when removed from its naturally occurring source, acts as an addictive pleasure stimulating drug. Its consumption automatically increases the need for vitamin B, easily resulting in its deficiency. The resulting symptoms are reversible at this stage but, if the true cause is unrecognized and treatment neglected, they may become the irreversible symptoms of chronic disease later in life.Could the obesity epidemic, diabetes, and the outbreak of a host of other almost completely unrecognized diseases, be the result of our present dietary mayhem? That’s the view expressed in A Nutritional Approach to a Revised Model for Medicine. In this illuminating book, author Derrick Lonsdale, M.D., draws attention to the dangers of the prolific ingestion of sugar that is so widespread today. The book cites case reports to illustrate these dangers and to emphasize the ease with which symptoms may be stemmed in the early stages. However the book also makes it clear that if symptoms are left unrecognized and behavior is left unmodified, these same symptoms become less treatable, giving rise to chronic diseases and other serious health problems.

      In A Nutritional Approach to a Revised Model for Medicine: Is Modern Medicine Helping You?, Derrick Lonsdale M.D. tackles the fallacy of our present medical model, arising from the Newtonian concept that we have to identify all body parts and internal mechanisms in order to let the body repair itself by patching the broken part. Battling symptoms instead of looking for possible causes is core to modern medicine. Lonsdale takes a nutritional approach, since high calorie malnutrition, too much sugars or a lack of vitamin B1 could explain modern diseases like Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), school stress, autism, Beriberi, ear infections? Just like lead poisoning led to the decline of Roman Civilization, our lymbic system (reptile brain), in this book referred to as a computer brain, is distorted.This electrical / chemical bilateral messaging system is receptive to deficiency and overkill of specific nutrients, as this longtime physician, illustrate by case studies, his own medical experience. Brain and body are mutually collaborating as a holistic system and cannot be separated into distinct body, mind and soul compartments. The signals we get, the food we eat, the poisons we're exposed to and the way we think, treat and care have a direct impact on our well-being.Our hedonism, love of pleasurable sensation, powered by sugar and all forms of sweeteners are less innocent than you realize. Besides a nutritional approach, Lonsdale also explores the background and possible benefits of acupuncture, homeopathy, and healing by faith. Especially the first part of the book may be difficult to understand and grasp, but once you're familiar with the medical writing style and terms, pieces fall in the right place. A revision of what you eat can directly benefit your health.
