“I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.” -Abraham Maslow
Conventional medical doctors receive extensive training to treat chronic disease with a very limited set of tools: drugs and surgery for most of what ails us, and additionally, radiotherapy for certain types of cancer.
The “hammer” most often used by physicians is pharmaceutical drugs. And in the case of surgeons, their hammer for back pain, knee pain, hip pain, etc. is to put you “under the knife,” which often also involves hammers, saws, and drills. And if that doesn’t work, anti-inflammatory drugs and pain pills.
Enter Dr. Sung Won
Sung Won, MD, is an Orthopedic Regenerative Medicine Specialist, a minimally invasive spine surgeon, and an expert in stem cell therapy. And he is the only orthopedic surgeon I’ve ever met who helps his patients heal chronic pain and avoid surgery with a whole food plant-based nutrition program. What a concept!
Dr. Won hosts free monthly seminars at his center in Irving, Texas, teaching his patients how whole food plant-based nutrition can help prevent, suspend, and even completely reverse chronic pain and disease. I love this guy!
If you or someone you know is struggling with chronic pain and anticipating surgery, this interview with Dr. Sung Won is a must-watch.
