How to Live Happy, Healthy & Satisfied

from The Cosmic Citizen · host Paula Thompson

Did you know that a Harvard study once found that all health professions except nursing do more harm than good? So says this week's guest, Dr. Richard Biek, MD MPH. Dr. Biek has some very interesting and unconventional ideas about Western medicine. He has been a student of the Urantia Book for 50 years. After studying medicine at the University of Illinois Chicago, Richard went to work as a medical missionary in Ghana, West Africa, immediately following a brief residency at University Hospital in Wisconsin. In addition, Dr. Biek holds a Masters in Epidemiology and has served as Deputy Commissioner of Health in Wisconsin, Chief Medical Officer in Chicago, Lieutenant Colonel and Senior Medical Officer for the 33rd Infantry Brigade and Chief Medical Officer for City of St. Louis. In Africa, he was often the only working doctor for 220,000 people. It was there that some of the myths about Western medicine came unraveled for him. While his dream has always been to improve community health it has become obvious to him that political correctness is more important than overcoming disease and death and Medicine has been eclipsed by dollars, government jobs and votes. Dr. Biek now works as free-lance self care consultant, making home visits that help individuals find their unique, infinite and eternal potential to become happy, healthy and soul-satisfied while saving thousands a year on health care. He teaches nutrition as the best way to effect long term wellness and robust health and touts a simple, commonsense, permanent escape from recurrent bad emotional reactions. Join us for this interesting and unorthodox look at health and well being.
