How to use food as a medicine
In 2019, modern Western science is still very young, a little less than 200 years. During this time much research has been done into the medicinal effects of nutrition. Food is in many cases a scientifically proven drug against a certain disease. However, for the time being this knowledge is not generally implemented in mainstream medicine practice. Alternative, and also scientifically proved medicinal systems such as naturopathy and phytotherapy have developed a lot further than mainstream medicine.

Yet this effective method is still considered as an ‘alternative’, while the mainstream options lack to cure people from fatty liver disease.
