re "It seems to me that this fellow is only part-way along some of the things I learned a long while ago.
Much of what he says I haven't heard of, let alone accepted.
I tend to ignore arguments now, and simply ask within.
Living in the 'now' is more comfortable for me. I seem to get where I want to go, more easily, this way."
Well I did not think everything he said was wrong but much of it did not resonate. I was disappointed as it is so hard to find someone in the medical field who talks about the link between food and health and talks about nutrition and integrates the alternative or complimentary with the allopathy to see someone that seemed so on the wrong path. It made me feel more like doctors do not have a clue but he said he studied day and night and his patients have superior blood work and other doctors are shocked when their patients go there and recover.
I feel this doctor could have done a lot as he had some charisma and persuasiveness and authority when he talked but he seemed so outside the mainstream of everything that he was hard to take serious even with his miracle cures.
He said a lot of work is necessary by his staff to convince people to give up all the products and beliefs they had previously.
I did go to a site where patients rate the doctor and there were many saying he was a wonderful person and helped them a lot but also some who said he was rushed, spent no time with them, attributed everything to gluten and the supplements he mentioned a lot in his lecture and felt he was not good as well. Maybe the people he helps have really bad diets and his is an upgrade over that and that and their belief in him helps them heal.
but I knew in my heart he was not for me as I am strong in my beliefs having studied alternative health, herbs and nutrition over 30 years and seen success and his way seemed a step back but I did see some things I may try in what he said and may take the good and leave the bad.
I tend to not have good habits like you in going with my gut as I sometimes 2nd guess myself or doubt but in the long run do follow my gut but it takes a while and living in the now is something I would be well served doing as I live in the past and fear the future which is not good.
I am going to think about what you said and try to live in the now at least a little more than I do and let go some of the past stuff.
