Miami Dolphins Ricky Williams Wants To Be Osteopathic Doctor
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 19th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.
Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams knows even with being a vegetarian, your body can’t play professional football forever.
That’s why he plans to become a doctor of osteopathic medicine, according to palmbeachpost.com.
Wowsers!
Athletic, intelligent, and vegetarian?
What’s his marital status again?
The cool thing about osteopathic medicine is that it takes a holistic approach to being healthy, versus relying on medicine to treat ailments.
The eight main principles of the discipline are as follows:
1. The body is a unit.
2. Structure and function are reciprocally inter-related.
3. The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms.
4. The body has the inherent capacity to defend and repair itself.
5. When the normal adaptability is disrupted, or when environmental changes overcome the body’s capacity for self maintenance, disease may ensue.
6. The movement of body fluids is essential to the maintenance of health.
7. The nerves play a crucial part in controlling the fluids of the body.
8. There are somatic components to disease that are not only manifestations of disease, but also are factors that contribute to maintenance of the disease state.
We are really liking number #4 and we hope Ricky teaches his patients the best way to use their body to defend and repair themselves is by choosing a veg diet, which can help prevent dozens of diseases, including the big killers of diabetes, heart disease, abdominal obesity, and cancer.
Can we get a Dr. Ricky Williams in the house as soon as possible?

Awesome!
He’s a great role model for kids who admire professional athletes.
He was good enough to play the sport but still wants to use education to employ himself down the line, versus just living off endorsements and seven figure salaries.
That is so fantastic.

Go Ricky!
Hope he writes a few books on how a veg diet is better for health after he starts practicing medicine.

This is a joke. I would be very disappointed in the world if I found out Ricky Williams got into med school. Any normal person, (not a pro athlete), would never stand a chance getting into med school with all the drug use he is known for. They would be screened out long before the interview process.
