After 7 years in the emergency room and 15 years running a traditional medical clinic in suburban New Jersey, Dr. Ronald Weiss decided to radically change his practice.

He moved to a centuries-old working farm in rural New Jersey and began treating his patients with fresh, organic, sustainably grown produce.

[powerpress]

Today his practice, Ethos Health, is one of the most exciting, innovative, and lowest-tech "miracles" in medicine.
I was so inspired by his story, his commitment, and his wholistic view of health, I knew I had to get Dr. Weiss on the Plant Yourself Podcast.

I called the number on his website, and got the following recorded message (I'm paraphrasing): "Press 1 for the doctor. Press 2 for the farmer."

I was utterly enchanted.

Luckily for me (and you!), Dr. Weiss is a generous man, and agreed to what turned into an in-depth and fascinating interview. We covered:

• Dr. Weiss's frustration with the limitations of the Emergency Room to treat end stage chronic disease
• how Dr. Weiss's father's pancreatic cancer - and 100% plant-based treatment - changed his outlook on medicine
• the lack of evidence in 1992 for plant-based treatment and prevention of disease - and the importance of anecdotal data and case studies to guide initial research
• early plant-based successes: acne and rheumatoid arthritis
• Dr. Weiss's initial reluctance to discuss his protocols with colleagues
• key barriers to medical acceptance of plant-based treatments of disease
• the medical bias toward sustaining the illness with medications vs removing root causes
• one of the first things Dr. Weiss learned in med school: "Doctors rarely cure anything."
• our most common diseases are food-borne (so they can be stabilized, reversed, and even cured)
• why medical practice needs to become "evidence-based" to embrace whole plant foods to prevent and remediate illness
• 
  
  • what kinds of evidence Dr. Weiss regards as most convincing
  • the current debate over saturated fats and diabetes
  • how studies can be manipulated to produce any result the funders want
  • the importance of thinking in systems (for individual health, for soil fertility, for planetary wellbeing)
  • how Wendell Berry influenced Dr. Weiss's medical practice
  • why Dr. Weiss "bought the farm" - looking toward the future after having children
  • the connections between human health and land/soil health
  • the many problems with our current system of growing plants
  • conservation of matter (nutrients) in our food system
  • and much more...
