When I first started writing this website, my goal was to help sick people, like me, who have not been helped by traditional, alternative, or complementary medicine. But as the website developed, the scope of my ideas expanded beyond individual health to include public health, quality of life, social justice, economic policy, international relations, and world peace. The path to world peace begins with individual health. Peace and health are inseparable.
The 9/11 attack on the United States helped me to understand that hate, violence, and global conflicts often have their roots in addiction and sickness. And the War on Terrorism has helped me to understand that our leaders don't understand the connection between addiction and violence. Solutions require understanding.
This website offers a new understanding of violence and sickness, by contrasting the harmful effects of addiction (HATE Diet) with the beneficial effects of nutrition (LOVE Diet). The HATE Diet is a prescription for violence and sickness. In contrast, the LOVE Diet is a prescription for peace and health. Diet and behavior are inseparable.
This website also offers Peace Poetry to create a friendly, conflict-free zone that emphasizes our common humanity and promotes civil discourse, interfaith dialogue, and religious tolerance. My Peace Poetry has been published in various poetry anthologies, newspapers, and medical journals. Poetry promotes peace and understanding.
I wrote this website for everyone: people who are struggling with sickness and bad relationships; physicians and dentists who want to improve patient care; and schools, businesses, organizations, and governments that want to increase efficiency and reduce conflict and healthcare costs.
