Coral Springs Doc: Never Get Sick Again
MIAMI (CBS4) - Can you imagine never getting sick again? A Coral Springs scientist believes it's possible and has developed a national campaign in an effort to decrease the nation's rising healthcare costs.
"I got sick. I almost died. I had to use my own knowledge of biochemistry to save my life," explained Dr. Raymond Francis.
That happened years ago but ever since then the M.I.T. trained scientist has been trying to teach others how to heal themselves.
"The health of our people is deteriorating rapidly. More than 3 out of 4 Americans now have a diagnosable disease," said Dr. Francis. "Healthcare costs are threatening to bankrupt our country."
Francis said it's those staggering costs that motivated him to help America get healthy, so he wrote a book "Never Be Sick Again".
"All of us are made up of these little units called cells. And if every cell in your body is functioning as nature intended it to function then you can't be sick," said Dr. Francis.
He suggests there are two causes of disease: deficiency which is when you don't give the cell what it needs and toxicity which is when something interferes with the cell. And here's where a number of things can affect your system; poor diets, exposure to toxins in the environment and a stressful lifestyle.
"I can tell you irrefutably that 'Never Be Sick Again' saved my life," said Norman Ratner.
Just five years ago Ratner, who live in Fort Lauderdale, was suffering from kidney stones and chronic asthma.
"I used to have to take two types of different medications a day to abate my asthma and I kept getting sicker and sicker to the point where I came within moments of death from one asthma attack," he said.
Since he learned Dr. Francis' solutions to a healthier lifestyle Ratner said he's been off medication and hasn't gotten sick in the last couple of years, not even a cold.
"It's not difficult to understand once you understand it. It's taking the actions, the simple actions, that literally will help cure your body naturally of all disease," said Ratner.
First and foremost Dr. Francis said eat organic foods, eliminate processed foods and sugar from your diet. Switch to organic toothpaste and shampoo. Invest in a water filter for your shower or better yet a filter for your entire home to reduce toxic overload. Simple changes, which according to Dr. Francis, can have a major impact on your overall health.
"The cancer, the heart disease, the diabetes, the osteoporosis, the Alzheimer's, all of these diseases can be ended tomorrow with what we already know today. All we have to do is take what we know and put it to use," said Dr. Francis.
The Project to End Disease is Dr. Francis' national campaign to educate Americans on how to get healthy and stay healthy. Click Here for more information.
