Preface to the Newsletters

 

The Path to Health newsletter series is researched, written, and edited by Rich and Le Anne Amber as a non-profit publication with the intent of educating you regarding possible alternatives that might improve your quality of life. It is published erratically as an HTML e-mail and sent out to a selected group of friends and family. If you are reading this, you have accessed the archives of all the newsletter issues to date.

 

This newsletter series contains information that we have been gathering and our opinions regarding such information. We promise not to play evangelist in a health cause here, but we have discovered a lot of things lately that we have all been kept in the dark about, mostly because our doctors don’t even know this stuff (they were never taught in school to fix the root cause of an illness, only to relieve the symptoms). THIS IS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO BLAME DOCTORS – it is not their fault that the schools they attended did not teach them to discover the etiology of an illness.

 

I was awed today when I heard an M.D. on TV, who also holds a degree in microbiology, say that he’d never even heard mention of mycotoxins all during his education years at college. Nutrition? Do you know that the average doctor has never had more than two weeks of training in this area and that course is paid for and/or taught by a major distributor of junk food? (Name withheld to protect the guilty)

 

I am the type of person who will research a thing to the point where I’ll dig out every major and minor fact possible, then sort them into a coherent pattern to be presented for your acceptance (or rejection, if you so choose). Health is my hot button right now. I have found out a lot of things that doctors don’t even know regarding many areas of your health. Some few of them do, but they are paid by the drug companies to keep feeding you pills, so many of them chose to ignore this data. Or perhaps it is because they would lose their licenses for not following the guidelines of the State Board of Examiners?

 

Here’s the gist of this research (still ongoing): As a generalization, most illnesses are not caused by viruses and very few are truly related to bacteria. The hot button for most doctors today (and the past 50 years) is to prescribe an antibiotic for almost everything that’s wrong with you, which kills all bacteria in your body (with the exception, perhaps, of mutated super strains). The problem with this is that your body needs to keep the good bacteria, so the result is that you get sicker the more medicine the doctor prescribes. The real evil in your body, the “cause” of most illnesses, are yeasts and molds (together, hereinafter referred to as fungi). Ever hear a doctor admit that? No, and they won’t. Curing you is not profitable, and there is no kickback to them by prescribing a plant as your medicine.

 

By the way, the leading causes of death in this country currently are: 1- heart problems, 2- cancer (or what they claim is cancer), and 3- doctors’ mistakes. (Source: Death by Medicine, written by several MDs/PhDs) Seriously. Doctors kill more than 100,000 people per year in this country. How do they get away with that? Why are we still trusting them with our lives?

 

Disclaimer (the legal stuff):

 

We are not attempting to sell any products through the articles presented in these newsletters. We do not accept advertising in this newsletter, although we often do recommend certain products that we have used and found to be helpful to us. We do not sell the information presented in these newsletters and no one pays us anything for the presentation of that information, so at least you can accept that we are relatively unbiased in that area.

 

There is no real intention to pick on any one segment of the medical community, the food industry, or government employees, even though I often rant about how under-educated or misdirected most of them appear to be. Some articles presented within these pages are written by people whom we do not personally know, but we have at least made an attempt to verify their data to the point where we are reasonably assured that we are not passing on bogus material.

 

Some pages of these newsletters suggest specific foods to be eaten and foods to be avoided. Know that we have tried those foods that we suggest and they work for us. In the event that you do not have the same experience, you cannot hold us liable. We are not doctors and we cannot prescribe drugs, herbs, or changes in your diet. Those things are personal choices you must make, and, as such, you hold complete responsibility and liability for your own actions.

 

Please take note that the information provided here is not intended to replace any care provided by your physician. It is neither intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice. CALL YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY. Seek the advice of your physician regarding any medical condition you have or perceive yourself to have. Please do not send e-mails to us regarding your specific medical conditions and our “suggested fixes.” We are not legally able to dispense such advice, nor will we respond to any such requests.

 

We do not claim a copyright to this material, although some individual articles presented herein are copyrighted by some other author(s) or publisher(s). Those items written in green (researched and written by Rich Amber) or blue (researched and written by Le Anne Amber) may be used, in whole or in part, printed, and/or passed on to others, so long as in so doing, our intent is not altered, and your intent in passing them on is to help others achieve a life improvement through education. Items within these newsletters that are printed in black are quotes from other sources and if you desire to pass them on, it falls to you to acquire permission from the original author or publisher to do so.

 

It should be noted that any quotes within these newsletters are to be taken as they are, within the context of the subject being discussed. Use of a quote or mention of something contained within another author’s books does not constitute an endorsement by us regarding the rest of that author’s book. For example, should we extract a paragraph from a “diet” book suggesting that the AMA or FDA is withholding valuable information about a product or food type from you, it does not mean that we endorse the diet suggested by that author.
