The TOP FOODS To Heal The Body & PREVENT DISEASE! | Dr. William Li

Health is not simply the absence of disease. Health is an active state. Your body has within it five health defense systems: angiogenesis, stem cells, the microbiome, DNA protection, and immunity. These systems are responsible for maintaining our health and resisting the regular hazards we all face everyday as part of ordinary life—and they heal us when disease inflicts damage in our body. By knowing how these systems defend your body like a fortress, you can tap into their health powers to live a longer, healthier life.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru talks to Dr. William Li, an internationally renowned physician, scientist, and author of the New York Times bestseller Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself. His groundbreaking work has led to the development of more than 30 new medical treatments, and impacts care for more than 70 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity.

His TED Talk, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?” has garnered more than 11 million views. Dr. Li has appeared on Good Morning America, CNN, CNBC and the Dr. Oz Show, and he has been featured in USA Today, Time Magazine, The Atlantic, and O Magazine. He is president and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation and is leading research into COVID-19.

Recently had my right kidney removed that was cancerous. Scored as a T1-B less than 7cm. Needless to say I was shocked by this news, found when I had a MRI for a back problem. I have always eaten healthy, (have done Keto in past), normal weight, very active with exercise, only take a statin, No diabetes, no high blood pressure. I am a believer food is what keeps us healthy. I was lucky I showed no signs of spread. I really need help with finding a cookbook and advice on what vitamins I should take or not take. Now that I will live with one kidney. I really am enjoying these videos and I too pray more doctors would practice this kind of healthcare.

DR LI is the healthiest looking person who talks about health. ♥️👍🙂

Kicked choriocarcinoma in 1992, without any medical, pharmaceutical, or chemotherapy intervention. The four most important legs of the treatment I devised for myself were:
1) Mind-body communication in a meditative state,
2) Optimal nutrition (including the elimination of sugar), eating only organically grown/raised food,
3) Specific herbs (some wild harvested from a nearby field),
4) Body treatments (chiropractic and massage).
My oncologist (who was adamant that chemo was the only way to treat this) insisted that I take blood draws twice per week to keep an eye on hCG titer levels. It took five months for my doctors to reach a diagnosis, but then, only four weeks on this protocol for my body to get rid of it.

I am a stage 4 cancer survivor, it’s been 24 years since I had 8 mos of chemo and radiation to my brain. I am 58 and my brain on MRI looks like a 70-80 year old. I’m hoping this diet along with exercise will prolong my life in a healthy way!

[MommaBearsCorner]

i have had cancer twice. and have lived with many health issues for years. My cancer was later stage 4. i used Advanced Gerson Cancer diet/therpies myself to stop the spread faster, and until it was half gone. Then i did half and half using Doc William Li's method and still cheated once my cancer was down. I am not an all natural person in foods, but a southern belle bad diet for sure. we love souther foods. but have learned to stop a big part of such and replace it with healthy foods mostly. moderation is the key. I wish i had found it early. I tried chemo/Ra and could not do such. i reacted right away. I did it every other week and stopped. even that i reacted and was NOT going to allow such to harm other parts of my body. Many develop heart issues. I went from alittle normal for age arteries to 90% blocked and now have to deal with that even with healthy foods and all that struggle. Yet so many conditions I had, is gone! even big part of glacomma which is NOT suppose to just disapear and get better. Also no more fibromyalgia. so many issues gone. now i have to deal with the heart. if i make it, i know how to finish fixing it. These diets. sad thing is, kids ARE getting sicker fast and as kids and CANCER IS on rise even iwth kids. its fast foods and not eating healthy today/

I'm Dr.Premalatha, general Practitioner from Madurai, South India..
This is a useful and informative video.
Very very informative and I'm learning a lot after hearing Dr Li's video..

[Prep]

In Asian cultural has a saying "good physician is like a good mother". when you want to be a doctor, you take an oath to care for your patients to put their interest at heart. But now a day, too many special interest, big pharmacies only care about their bottom-line. They only treated you by giving you more pills, not the root cause. Thank GOD for Dr. Li and many other good Doctors give out info for us to stay healthy. Many thanks for a very informative video.

[sandyhull]

I am so happy I was lead to this interview. Thank you. I have stage 4 cancer and currently getting some side effects from Immune therapy. Changing my diet from this moment .

[Mybrotherskeeper]

God Almighty created the plants for us to eat and be healed

[sheribayne]

They don't teach doctors enough about nutrition in college. Rockefeller medicine, sick care! If they can keep us sick by only treating symptoms than they can continue to make money off of us. I really appreciate you Dr. Li thank you.

[leoniea]

This doctor we must really always pray for ....one of a kind

[Manifest--]

What a guy... Nobel prize needed here pls.... Life changing - What an Eye opener

[susanhawkins]

Scripture tells us that we are “fearfully & wonderfully made”!!

[manuelojeda]

I feel better since I don't go to a doctor for 5 years. It's glorious to feel so good.

[rhondachristensen]

I'm trying to teach my 21 year old son; that knowledge, may prevent a situation from occurring ..I bought your book ..it's in my house...he can't miss this book ..it's on his place-setting...he can't ignore it...thank, dr.li...teaching teenagers, the importance of eating right ..

[tweed]

Dr. Li has talked about superfoods such as: tea (various), Cacao (not standard chocolate bars, need to be high cacao content), broccoli (the stems are better than the florets) broccoli sprouts, and mushrooms (which can be left in the sun to increase vitamin D). Organic is best.
Apples are also really good for us.
Sugar is bad. White flour and rice turn sugar...
Barbara O'Neil is great too. Nutritionist and holistic healer. Lots of good info.

[karenzimmer]

Don't we wish there were thousands of more Drs like him. You are gold
