    He has changed my life. I am a cardiologist and changed my practice to focus on prevention and reversal of heart disease using plant based diets. The research is solid. He is inspirational. We need to shift our broken “healthcare” system to a lifestyle medicine model focused on the farmacy NOT the pharmacy!!!

      Thank you. I'm just one person, but my switch to plant-based combined with intermittent fasting and active lifestyle has eliminated my diverticulitis, irregular heart rhythms, and chest pain. I've never felt better and, I've never eaten better!

      Thank you Dr Steven Lome with your great testimonial..I found these symposiums very important to learn. After completed the Plant Based Cert with eCornell have open alot of hopes to people with any forms of illnesses can be reversible to WFPBD.. The China study with Dr T Campbell is real step to understanding the causative agent of animal protein..the culprit of all.

      Thank you for changing! My Cardiologist told me Plant-based or die. I have Familial Hypercholesterolemia and can’t take meds. 2.5 years Paleo almost killed me. It took a while but the outcome was the same. I am back on track now with plants, fasting, and just completed a triathlon, I turn 62 in October!

    5 years ago I was ill, painful fatty liver disease, diabetes, etc. I switched to a whole-food plant-based diet. My diabetes went away. My cardiac calcium score is zero. I'm a grandma of 7, and everyone in my family died of complications related to heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, peripheral vascular disease. I refuse that destiny. Thank you for giving me hope and the tools to live well. Forks over knives!

    Well, I've been on this diet for over a year, minus cheating with oils and had cheese about 5 times and one teen burger. Results, which may be psychosomatic are: dropped 40 lbs in 6 weeks and kept 30 of it off for a year. Sleep apnea is gone. Breathing is clear for the first time in my life. Bp has dropped 20 points. All stomach/intestinal issues disappeared in 3 days. Stronger muscles with more endurance. I require less sleep (7 hours) now. I was hoping to avoid meat and dairy for a year...now I can't see myself going back...I feel twenty years younger. Oh and a lot of my aches and pains have gone away too, including chest pain. I am currently 50 years old.

My family members say 'well you have to die of something', then in a few years they will be forking over their life savings for a few more years. Upsetting but this is the consequence of trying to educate yourself to the best lifestyle.
      Can't even shift them on the environmental and ethical issues either :(

      Partially wrong. Live expectancy and diet have a linear corralation. You increase your live expectancy and general health by getting rid of animal products. Smoking and drinking result in specific diseases. Drinking is a part of someones diet, if that person has a health risk from it.
      Smoking:
      Most prominently lung cancer and increased body acidity (really bad, because inflamation risk increases).
      Extreme and consistant drinking:
      Heart: Cardiomyopathy - Stretching and drooping of heart muscle Arrhythmias - Irregular heart beat, Stroke, High blood pressure. Research also shows that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol may protect healthy adults from developing coronary heart disease.
      Liver: Variety of problems and liver inflammations including: Steatosis, or fatty liver Alcoholic hepatitis Fibrosis Cirrhosis Pancreas: Alcohol causes the pancreas to produce toxic substances that can eventually lead to pancreatitis, a dangerous inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels in the pancreas that prevents proper digestion.
      Cancer: Drinking too much alcohol can increase your risk of developing certain cancers, including cancers of the: Mouth Esophagus Throat Liver Breast.
      Conclusion:
      What i want to say is that your mother isnt "healthy", because she doesnt drink and smoke. It most definetly has something to do with her diet choices, so you were right with the drinking part, but she is this healthy, because she either has really good genes and/or she is on top of her diet/has an andequate diet.

      Joe D that's a presumption on your behalf. I don't work in the dairy or meat industry, in my opinion grass fed meat from natural farms using natural fertilizer is healthy food, the same goes for butter some cheeses and wild fish and naturally grown vegetables, especially leafy greens. The biggest problem in the built up world today is the big corporate entities pushing their overly processed products onto the shelves of the supermarkets which covers all elements of food. if you go into a grocery or supermarket today to buy healthy food, you will be hard pushed to find anything that resembles genuine good food. So this battle between veganism and carnivore etc is irrelevant when both are being sold in both the good and bad forms of themselves. Whats more important is to educate ourselves about the good and bad version of our foods, and buy from the genuine producer and not the pusher of bad food and bad health, and stop blaming each other. Eat good whole foods, avoid synthetic or chemical processing etc. This is the formula for good health, also eat less often, only when you are genuinely hungry and eat less at a sitting. like i said this is my opinion, but it comes from years of research both at a science and practical level, but i am not a Scientist or a Doctor by profession.I am just an ordinary person with an ordinary job, that educated himself about health and well - being. I Also believe the biggest killer in today's world is not heart disease, but high stress levels from the corporate sector push for profits. This has come about from a well oiled Advertising machine which will not refuse money, and the bigger the funding the better. And last but not least, the lack of connection now among people all over the built up world is a major cause of illness especially emotionally, caused by the massive surge in the digital corporate world, which of course lines their pockets, and of course also the pockets of the psychiatric and medical industries. So, their are many corporate interests out there, you already mentioned two,. you see at that level of industry, health and well - being are not part of the plan. No, the industry must grow and expand and make money and become a powerful entity in the corporate ladder.

      Mystee Prince also check out nutritionfacts dot org for scientific based info provided by a Dr Greger, he reviews peer-reviewed research papers on vegan diet and related subjects. If you're worried that you won't get enough nutrients try to track your food with some apps like cronometer (free!) and see how you're doing regarding protein, iron etc. I always have my iron even over recommended amounts, same with protein. Recommended amount of protein for females is between 40-50g/day so we really don't need that much, and to much is harmful for health

      Sadly, I am now convinced our medical system is now being subsidized by the pharmaceutical industry based on what tests they are recommending and what tests they should be giving such as AC1 tests for diabetes as 1 of 3 people now have at least prediabetes but they wait to treat that with drugs when it gets really bad.
      Our medical industry makes money off of keeping people sick.

    Going to give this a go. A while back I started trying to hit the plant based diet but lost focus. It did make me feel better though while doing it so after seeing this I'm going straight back on it. Don't know if anyone has noticed but I also observed while having a plant based diet that my bank ballance got better? Probably why the conventional GP might not be plugging this. Not so much money to go round for them when people are healthy as we get to keep our hard earned cash. Really appreciate this video.

    His system is wonderful, 7 years on it now, age 77, no meds, no symptoms, cholesterol 147, down from 270, lots of energy, and even my doctor is with me on it. My blood protein levels went up from 10/100 to 50/100, a five times greater level, after switching to all whole plant food diet with no oil. I believe that's because the plant diet provides enough high quality carbs so that the body stops breaking down protein to steal the carbs it needs. It leaves me with far more available protein, so my workout recoveries are very swift. Even my doctor had no idea about this phenomenon. It's because doctors don't study nutrition, or they would know that protein is just a carb with nitrogen tacked on. It's very easily split. So on a high meat diet, your 20 dollar steak is ripped down into 20 cents worth of pasta plus some nitrogen. You're being cheated horribly by the meat industry, in other words, same with dairy. You don't need them and will do far better without them. Keep your money, eat whole plants. Every single bean, lentil, or grain is a whole complete plant, and we thrive on them, as countless civilizations since the beginning of recorded time, as well as stay free from the tragedy of what we have been mistakenly blaming on age. Age on this diet is simply beautiful.

I exercise, drink bone broth and wheatgrass juice, eat raw cacao, consume high amounts of vitamin C, ginger tea and a few other things. My heart and cardiovascular system is in textbook perfect condition. When I switched to plant based diet, I started experiencing all sorts of bad things, weight gain, brain fog, sleeping more, fatigue, etc. We are not the same.

Then I remembered my time as a nurse in CCU and two things came to mind (1) the heart is a muscle (2) the heart is a pump. So I just increased my cardio exercise to include swimming laps in a pool. The long walks/yoga were not enough. Also discovered plant-based diet via Dr Joel Fuhrman. Well, no more PAT. Stay well away from doctors - and statins. On no meds at all. BP has dropped to 120/70 as a bonus. Have never felt as healthy. (71 year old female).
    Folks, this stuff works. Don't go near statins. Just figure out what your body needs to heal, then do that.
