A Message To All My Patients who I told the following to— for years— up until I was enlightened/awakened:

1. CUT BACK on Saturated Fat

2. USE margarine instead of butter

3. GET extra protein from supplement drinks (usually filled with chemicals)

4. DRINK orange juice when you are sick (it’s just sugar)

5. VISIT doctors regularly to stay healthy

I AM SORRY

I was the victim of fake science Medical School indoctrination, under the influence of big corporate interests

I promise to do BETTER for the rest of my career, and never trust any recommendation from authorities without doing my own research

"There's only so many times you can walk into a room and tell someone they're not coming home tomorrow. It breaks your heart when you hear someone screaming mommy or daddy. It just becomes too hard day in and day out."
- Dr. Jason Smith on the toll of gun violence in Louisville

Jill and I visited Mississippi to support the community’s recovery from devastating tornados.

The resilience of Rolling Fork has been remarkable.

It’s hard to believe it in a moment like this, but the community will rebuild — and come back stronger than ever.
