Mark Hyman, MD, Dean Ornish, MD, and Mike Roizen, MD..

"The recent “EPIC” study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine
studied 23,000 people’s adherence to 4 simple behaviors (not smoking, exercising 3.5
hours a week, eating a healthy diet [fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, nuts, seeds,
and low meat consumption], and keeping a healthy weight [BMI <30]). In those
adhering, 93% of diabetes, 81% of heart attacks, 50% of strokes and 36% of all cancers
were prevented."

when you  add spirituality to this, it doubles, and art and healing is spirit…. so

 basically, exercise, diet, and not smoking heal. the Plus is spirituality, which does as much ….

so art and healing is….. the new medicine…
