As an author and teacher, Elson Haas, MD and his team at PMCM offer education and practical approaches to a healthy diet, a key to staying well. In his book, Staying Healthy with NEW Medicine, Dr. Haas describes his approach to the origin of most illness and chronic disease—that is cell imbalance caused from a deficiency of essential nutrients (vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, and the many natural phytonutrients found in real food).
The other side of the cellular imbalance is toxicity from the many chemicals and metals we are exposed to from our air, water, and foods, as well as products we put on our bodies or use in our homes. There are literally thousands of chemicals used in our modern world and it takes awareness and application to minimize our exposure.
