Confessions of a Former Heart Surgeon

Before I tell you more, let me introduce myself ... I have all the credentials of a highly accomplished physician: an M.D. from the University of Missouri, a residency in surgery at the University of Michigan Medical Center, the very first board-certified cardiac surgeon in South Dakota. I even developed the state's first heart-surgery program.
Several years ago the readers of one of the most famous national health magazines gave me a "Best Doctor Achievement Award." That's when people started calling me "America's Most Trusted Doctor." But most doctors call me things like "revolutionary" or "pioneer." Why?
For my pioneering expertise in natural cures, and because I'm not afraid to challenge traditional medical beliefs.
People just like you have traveled to my Integrative Medicine Clinic from all over the country ' and from as far away as London.
I've been an M.D. for over 30 years ' 7 of them as a heart surgeon. I started out naively, and quickly became successful. Like most surgeons, all I did was prescribe drugs, operate and sleep.
Most mornings I sawed open chests, hooked my patients up to life support machines, stopped their hearts, grafted arteries, re-started their hearts, sewed them up, and sent them home.
Or so I thought. After awhile, I began to realize most of my patients were getting worse ... some needlessly dying of heart disease.
The problem wasn't me. And it wasn't other doctors. We were only practicing what we were taught in medical school.
So I quit surgery!
Why would I quit performing heart surgery at the peak of my career and leave behind the power, prestige and the financial stability I had accumulated? Simple: I was fed up with practicing disease-oriented medicine and decided to make the transition to a world of health and preventive medicine. On that fateful day in 1981, I started a cardiac rehabilitation program. I wanted to help people prevent and even reverse heart disease.
I now know from experience, that remedies from nature are much safer and more effective than prescription drugs and needless surgery. I don't care which treatments make the health industry a lot of money. I couldn't care less about the financial well-being of the pharmaceutical giants.
Over the years I have traveled worldwide to meet with health experts from many cultures, as well as to locate and evaluate alternative treatments that have been used successfully in remote parts of the world for centuries. During this time I've had the privilege to study ' and save many of my patients' lives ' with Ayurvedic Medicine, Homeopathic Medicine, Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Chinese Medicine as well as Shamanic Medicine.
