Ex-Surgeon's Interview on What It Really Takes to Be Healthy

Mark Virkler's picture

We recently watched this excellent interview: https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-casey-calley-means. It is a powerful overview on health in America, what is causing the decline in health, and how it can be fixed.


I purchased a Kindle version of the recommended book: Good Energy - The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health. It is a well-written, down-to-earth, practical book. If you have medical training, you will especially appreciate it as she was a top surgeon and writes about her story while in the medical profession, what made her decide to quit cold turkey, and how she is now providing healthcare from outside the medical profession. You will find this book very authoritative as it is footnoted with hundreds of studies, which she has all posted online.

She makes it clear that you must learn how to care for yourself, as the medical profession is essentially about disease management, and not restoring health. She tells you exactly how you can do this. You will learn a lot and be inspired to take steps, one after the other into a healthier lifestyle. We have been taking such steps for many years, so it was encouraging to see how far we have come and see places where we can take some additional steps. Click here to watch some of her videos.

Quotes from the book, Good Energy:

  • Corrupted science: 82 percent of independently funded studies show harm from sugar-sweetened beverages, but 93 percent of industry-sponsored studies (i.e. food companies) reflect no harm.
  • Conventional farming uses one billion pounds of pesticides per year in the United States alone, many of which are known to cause damage to human and microbiome cells and are tied to obesity, cancer, and developmental illnesses, among many others.
  • 70 percent of antibiotics in the United States go toward conventionally raised animals.
  • Ultra-processed foods make up 60 percent of calories consumed by adults and 67 percent of calories consumed by children, and they drive Bad Energy diseases like obesity, high blood pressure, dementia, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance. And the impact is major. In a recent study of twenty thousand participants followed over fifteen years, more than four servings of ultra-processed foods per day conferred a 62 percent increased hazard for death during follow-up. Each additional serving of ultra-processed food increased all-cause mortality by 18 percent.

A bit about where we are currently at

Patti and I are currently on a Keto/Paleo diet and experiencing very good health responses and weight loss, so we are thrilled. We also exercise daily and have an inexpensive portable sauna which we use about 4 days a week.

We are off processed foods. We replaced sugar with stevia, monk fruit and Truvia. We are also off white flour and gluten. We drink single file aligned water (www.CWGministries.org/i-h20) that has also been run through a water purifier. And the list goes on. So yes, we are on the pathway of health. I encourage you to be on it also, so we all live long enough to fulfill our destinies and glorify God in our bodies!

Our books on health include: Go Natural, Unleashing Healing Power Through Spirit-Born Emotions, Prayers That Heal the Heart, and others. (All are available at www.CWGministries.org)
