👨⚕️ Mikhail Sovetov: The doctor who realized that traditional medicine does not cure
Mikhail Vladimirovich Sovetov — a naturopathic doctor, creator of the lecture course "School of Health" and author of books on natural healing of the body, treats through nutrition, cleansing, and physical practices.
His path is unique: he is not just a theoretician but a practicing physician who became disillusioned with the system. He is a certified doctor and worked as a urologist for 12 years. Now he is 100% raw foodist since 2008.
He is also an experienced amateur runner and participant in many marathons and half-marathons and wrote the book: 📚 "Running for Health. Energy, Strength, Joy!"
🏥 From urologist to naturopath
Mikhail Sovetov developed a unique method of treating urological diseases that has no world analogues. Patients came to him from abroad. But in the process of practice he realized: traditional medicine deals with symptoms, not the cause. Its task is to stop the manifestation of the disease, not to fully cure the person.
🧘 Search for truth
In parallel with medicine, Sovetov practiced yoga, qigong, and energy practices. He noticed: if you change your nutrition, the results in practices become much higher.
Thus began his path of research:
- Vegetarianism
- Raw foodism
- Fruitarianism
- Health fasting
Having gone through many years of raw foodism, he obtained unique results. Sovetov realized: there are simple and effective ways of treatment that go beyond traditional medicine and are often not recognized by it.
An important nuance. For himself he chose 100% raw foodism, but does not impose it on patients. He believes that for good health 70–80% of raw plant food in the diet is enough, and it is not necessary to completely give up habitual food.
📚 Why are his lectures unique?
Now there are many books on healing. But most authors are ordinary people who share results: "Eat this way — and you will be happy." They rarely explain the mechanism of how the method works.
The main difference of Mikhail Sovetov is that he, having enormous medical experience behind him, can explain why proper nutrition leads to healing of the body. In his lectures there are many examples where he explains in simple words the mechanism of curing specific diseases through changing the diet. The understanding is accessible to absolutely everyone.
📝 Conclusion
Mikhail Sovetov is a bridge between academic medicine and naturopathy. He not only says "what to do" but also explains "how it works" from the point of view of physiology.
His "School of Health" is an opportunity to understand your body and launch natural recovery processes.
For me he is a modern continuer of the principles and practice of Arnold Ehret with his book on the mucusless diet. Having studied a lot of different information, I constantly return and begin to understand more deeply his genius and the simplicity of the method of true healing!
