Gandhi was an original thinker. He accepted something as true only after testing it with his honor, his common sense, his body, and his God. Essentially, Gandhi re-evaluated everything in his life. Therefore the notion of doctor is thought through freshly, the concept of food, the concept of medicine. Gandhi aspired to be a physician, but he didn't believe that healers should charge for their services. While he later became a lawyer and a journalist, he remained passionate about healing. Like most people, he had a shelf lined with bottles of pills; yet one day he decided they were useless and threw them out. From that point on, Gandhi used common sense when treating himself and his family. When his wife began suffering from a bad chest cold, made worse by the conditions of a jail cell, what did he do? When his young son had a raging fever, what did he do? The stories in this text are useful and uplifting. Learn how Gandhi read his body every day while on a fast. Discover his attitude about an all fruit diet versus a vegetarian diet, with and without milk products. Gandhi is an accurate guide.
