The conclusion emphasizes that individuals have the power to improve their own health and should believe in their ability to do so.
7. #1: Doctor, Will You Respect Me?
Hey doc, how would you feel if I disagreed with your
advice? Would you get angry?
So, what if I chose to use alternative treatments for
my disease?
What would you say?
8. THE ONLY THING YOU
CHANGE BY INSULTING
SOMEONE, IS THE
RESPECT THEY HAVE
FOR YOU
9. #2. Hey Doc, Will You Respect Others?
Do you feel more
important than my
personal trainer?
Massage therapist?
Or Chinese medicine
doctor when it comes
to my health?
10. #3: Do You Practice What You Preach?
How much exercise do
you get per week?
What nutrition plan do
you follow?
How do you take care of
your emotional health?
Whos the most important
person in your life?
Is being a doctor your
profession, or your
passion?
19. The Power to Heal
The power to heal can only be determined by you.
Decide in this moment how you will live before you
die. Release the fear, distraction and disempowerment
that infuse our society and medical system today, and
resolve not to be a victim.
And then, resolve to change your world.
