The human body is an intricate instrument and the nutrition it receives determines the sound it produces. Without proper nutrition, the human body as an instrument would produce a sound similar to an animal’s cry for help. With proper nutrition, the human body as an instrument produces the sound of a symphony of well-orchestrated musicians. With such a widespread epidemic of cancer across America, it is important to bring attention to the fact that proper nutrition is the only pathway to take to arrive at a cancer-free life.

Whole, unrefined plant-based foods should be eaten in large amount and variety; refined carbohydrates, added vegetable oils, and fish should be minimized; and meat, poultry, dairy, and eggs should be avoided (Campbell, The China, 243).

The meat and dairy industries are two of the largest industries in America, so revealing to people that these foods are the source of most health problems is not something big businesses see as profitable. The greed for money has become more important than the health of American citizens. The industry of modern medicine has slowly become a source of corruption instead of healing, as it is supposed to be. In the Texas Children 's Hospital, patients are served McDonald 's in the cafeteria, and the doctors have absolutely no problem with it (Spurlock). These patients are being spoon-fed the cause of their illnesses. This hospital is just one example; thousands of hospitals across the country allow the same thing. Patients all across America, instead of being healed the natural way, are being fed the source of their illnesses while continuing to pay for medicine that treats only their side effects rather that eliminating the source of the problem (Campbell, The China, 332). This industry forces people to live in a constant cycle of poor eating, disease, reliance on medicine, and expensive medical bills. In the words of Dr. Thomas Campbell, “There is enough evidence
