Nutrition-Based Medicine: The Key to Healing in the 21st Century - Michael Klaper MD

"Wake Up Doctor!" Your Patients Are Eating Themselves to Death! Presented by Michael Klaper, MD Obesity, clogged arteries, Type-2 diabetes, many cancers and autoimmune diseases -- in fact, most of the chronic diseases that absorb most of the time, energy and finances in the health care system, are driven largely by the Standard American Diet, which is laden with an excess of animal-based products, refined carbohydrates and processed oils, along with many other adulterants. Changing to truly health-supporting food choices predictably results in dramatic improvement - if not complete resolution - of these fearsome diseases. Dr. Klaper will explain the (mal)nutrition-based pathophysiology of these common maladies, and present practical (and tasty) methods for instituting food choices that can effectively ameliorate these fearsome diseases! Michael A. Klaper, M.D. is a graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago. He received postgraduate training in internal medicine, surgery, anesthesiology, and orthopedics at University of British Columbia teaching hospitals in Vancouver and obstetrics at the University of California at San Francisco. He has practiced acute care medicine in Hawaii, Canada, California, Florida and New Zealand. Far more fulfilling to him is his current practice, focusing on health-promoting food and lifestyle choices to help people prevent the need for hospitalization and surgery. A long-time radio host and a pilot, Dr. Klaper has served as nutrition advisor to NASA’s programs for space colonists on the Moon and Mars.
