Ex-Surgeon's Interview on What It Really Takes to Be Healthy

Mark Virkler's picture

We recently watched this excellent interview: https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-casey-calley-means. It is a powerful overview on health in America, what is causing the decline in health, and how it can be fixed.


I purchased a Kindle version of the recommended book: Good Energy - The Surprising Connection Between Metabolism and Limitless Health. It is a well-written, down-to-earth, practical book. If you have medical training, you will especially appreciate it as she was a top surgeon and writes about her story while in the medical profession, what made her decide to quit cold turkey, and how she is now providing healthcare from outside the medical profession. You will find this book very authoritative as it is footnoted with hundreds of studies, which she has all posted online.

She makes it clear that you must learn how to care for yourself, as the medical profession is essentially about disease management, and not restoring health. She tells you exactly how you can do this. You will learn a lot and be inspired to take steps, one after the other into a healthier lifestyle. We have been taking such steps for many years, so it was encouraging to see how far we have come and see places where we can take some additional steps. Click here to watch some of her videos.

Quotes from the book, Good Energy:

  • Corrupted science: 82 percent of independently funded studies show harm from sugar-sweetened beverages, but 93 percent of industry-sponsored studies (i.e. food companies) reflect no harm.
  • Conventional farming uses one billion pounds of pesticides per year in the United States alone, many of which are known to cause damage to human and microbiome cells and are tied to obesity, cancer, and developmental illnesses, among many others.
  • 70 percent of antibiotics in the United States go toward conventionally raised animals.
  • Ultra-processed foods make up 60 percent of calories consumed by adults and 67 percent of calories consumed by children, and they drive Bad Energy diseases like obesity, high blood pressure, dementia, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance. And the impact is major. In a recent study of twenty thousand participants followed over fifteen years, more than four servings of ultra-processed foods per day conferred a 62 percent increased hazard for death during follow-up. Each additional serving of ultra-processed food increased all-cause mortality by 18 percent.

A bit about where we are currently at

Patti and I are currently on a Keto/Paleo diet and experiencing very good health responses and weight loss, so we are thrilled. We also exercise daily and have an inexpensive portable sauna which we use about 4 days a week.

We are off processed foods. We replaced sugar with stevia, monk fruit and Truvia. We are also off white flour and gluten. We drink single file aligned water (www.CWGministries.org/i-h20) that has also been run through a water purifier. And the list goes on. So yes, we are on the pathway of health. I encourage you to be on it also, so we all live long enough to fulfill our destinies and glorify God in our bodies!

Our books on health include: Go Natural, Unleashing Healing Power Through Spirit-Born Emotions, Prayers That Heal the Heart, and others. (All are available at www.CWGministries.org)

Healthier Today Than Yesterday eBook

I am healthier at age 60 than I was at age 40! That excites me. I want to share with you what I have learned in the last 18 years since I wrote the book Go Natural. I researched and wrote that first book on health when I was 40 years old because my body was beginning to break down. The truths I learned then improved my health and many others have written to tell me that it improved the quality of their health, as well.

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation ebook

Unlocking fresh revelation daily - by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know? eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used various methods for discovering truth such as: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so.

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.

Imagine That eBook

Imagine That eBook

by Rev. Jimmy D. Smith | 85 Pages

Beginning sometime around my 72nd year, my imagination really started to wake up again.  I was reading Dialogue with God, by Mark and Patti Virkler, when wheels began to turn.  In the weeks that followed I decided that this was a “do” book, not just a “read to learn” book. I began to do what the book suggested. Somewhere along the line I felt that the Lord gave me permission to experience the freedom of using my imagination to worship Him, to talk to Him, and more importantly to hear from Him.
