I do like meeting people with interesting new ideas, a fresh approach,
someone who shatters the "normal normal normal". And I had the
opportunity to do it recently while photographing a corporate event
where The New York Times Best Selling author Dr David B, Agus was the
guest speaker. Dr Agus was the physician for Lance Armstrong, Steve Jobs
and others, so there was a bit of "star quality" in the air.
I haven't finished his book
The End of Illness yet
which focuses on all the things we are doing wrong by taking vitamins
and other supplements. Dr Agus said that our routine of taking these
pills every day and not taking a baby aspirin every day was increasing
our chances of cancer and heart disease. It was a controversial talk to
say the least.
The one thing we all agreed was that it was credible and worth some careful consideration.
I asked Dr Agus for a signed copy of his book addressed to my Son, who is a Neurosurgical Nurse Practioner {yep, my Son the surgeon!} - Dr Agus wrote "Thanks for what you do - please focus on the whole". And that is Dr Agus' message to us all I believe.
I have such a great job and get to meet some very interesting people!
