Kenneth R. Pelletier, MD, PhD, is professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, Medical Center. He is author of Longevity, Mind As Healer – Mind As Slayer, Toward a Science of Consciousness, Sound Mind – Sound Body, The Best Alternative Medicine, Healthy People in Unhealthy Places, and Change Your Genes – Change Your Life.
Here he discusses research findings concerning diet and nutrition. He points out that there is very little evidence that popular fad diets work in the long-run. People almost always regain the weight they may have lost. The most effective approach involves a lifestyle based on what is called the “Mediterranean Diet”. Organic food is advised. Dietary supplements, particularly anti-oxidants, can also be helpful — based upon one’s genetic makeup and needs. Individual differences are crucial. Occasional fasting is advised. Moderation is a good general rule.
New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).
