78-year-old drug-free holistic healer in best shape of his life and it's not because of Western medicine

(NaturalNews) The following is a snippet from Dr. David Tanton's book A Drug-Free Approach to Healthcare, detailing how whole body health improves when you kick your prescription drug dependency to the curb.

At 73 years of age, (today Dr. Tanton is 78) I use absolutely no prescription or over-the-counter drugs, and find no reason what so ever for doing so. Forty-five years ago, at the age of 28, I weighed 205 pounds, had allergies, and often caught colds.

Today I weigh 175 pounds, and have approximately the same muscle-to-fat ratio as I did at 18. I surprisingly have even more strength and endurance than I did 55 years ago, at 18, and my joints are strong, yet flexible. I have very fast reflexes, and my memory appears to be better than at any time in the past. I also have excellent vision without glasses, and the last time I checked my blood pressure, it was 110/70.

I have never checked my cholesterol, and see absolutely no reason to do so. If we just learn the rules of health and show our body the respect it deserves, it is perfectly capable of efficiently managing the details, and there will be absolutely no reason to stress about all those levels.

Although many people tend to believe that disease is just the result of getting older, that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. Disease is normally the result of an unhealthy condition in the body, (not the result of our age), and something we all can control. We just need to learn what our body really needs and then provide it, and stop abusing it with all those potentially dangerous and unnecessary drugs.

Hypocrites, known as the father of medicine, once said, "Let your food be your medicine."
That was over 2,000 years ago, and his theory has not only proven true, but should be obvious. You can't just suppress symptoms with drugs (which are foreign to the body), and eat processed foods devoid of nutrients, and somehow expect to maintain health.

You can't always blame your doctor for lack of effective solutions either, as he only knows what he was taught in medical school. Most medical doctors were trained to treat symptoms with drugs, rather than using natural nutrients for prevention. Your doctor likely devoted many years of his or her life, and a great deal of money, getting a medical degree.

I believe that many doctors are totally unaware of the serious implications associated with many of the drugs they prescribe daily. The drug commercials imply that your doctor will know if you should be using their particular drug, and that he is basically an authority with all the answers.

They then focus on convincing your doctor that many patients could benefit from their drug (even for unapproved uses).

There are more drugs being continually added, and many are just variations of the same basic class of drug.
Although similar, they often vary in potency and potential for interactions with other drugs. And as you will soon find out, your doctor is normally so busy with his practice, and dealing with many different patients on a daily basis that he unfortunately has very little time left for research or evaluation.

Natural medicine is in my opinion a true science, as the basic ingredients normally used were created by Our Creator, (who is much more brilliant than man), and whose major concern is our welfare, rather than the most profitable solution.

Natural foods are far more complex than any drug produced in a laboratory, and organic (as is our body). We must basically decide where we will place our trust, in man or in Our Creator who also created our body. He is obviously in a far better position to understand our body's needs, and has provided many natural resources for our benefit.
