    Dr. Mcdougall was the first doctor I saw on RUclips talking about the plant based diet. After watching his video on how to reverse diabetes,I was like “ I can do it, I can eat like that” 7.5 years later I’m still plant based and 50 lbs lighter. Thanks to Dr. McDougall.

    Thank you for this wonderful tribute. I first met Dr. McDougall through his books. The truths in those books astounded us and completely shifted our paradigms. We went vegan cold turkey and never looked back. Later, we went to several of Dr. McD’s ‘health talks’ seminars to hear from the good doctor and like-minded professionals, at the Flamingo Hotel in Santa Rosa. His passion to help people regain their health was palpable and sometimes moved me to tears. The McDougall Diet definitely saved my husband’s life and greatly improved mine; best of all, we became critical thinkers like our medical guru, John A. McDougall. To fully understand that our “healthcare system” in 1995 was nothing more than a self-sustaining sickcare program - was a life saving gift and awakened our own humanity and desire to inform others. Knowledge is truly Powerful indeed. We are eternally grateful to Dr. McDougall. 🙏❤

    What a lovely tribute, Andrew, to a truly beautiful person, a great physician, and natural health visionary!!
    Without your video today, I wouldn't have known of his passing.
    A few years ago, I watched & enjoyed many many hours of both his and your videos which inspired me to change my eating habits, helped me lose weight, and feel healthier!!!
    I have enormous gratitude and respect for Dr. McDougall and for his seemingly tireless compassion, commitment, and integrity to help people regain and keep their health simply and naturally inspite of opposition from Big Pharma and other entrenched medical interests.
    Thanks for letting us know and thank you, too, for your own good work employing many of the principles that you both shared in promoting natural good health!!
    My sincere condolences to you and Mandy for the loss of your dear friend and valued mentor!! May Dr. John Mc Dougall rest in light and enjoy interesting and amazing adventures on the other side!!
    All the best!!!

    I am grateful for all you do and Dr. McDougall have done so generously.
    I’m sorry your Festival Of Us was painful this year. My dad died on my birthday in 2000. By now I do enjoy my birthdays, but I feel like my dad and I are even closer. I hope you and Mandy find your way to joy on your special festival. You both add to my McDougall joy.

He was such a reassuring figure, and helped shape the foundation of my plant-based eating. I really appreciate you sharing these personal insights, Andrew.

His no-BS, cut straight to the truth explanations resonated with me. He loved people and truly wanted to see them get well. Awesome man, he will be missed.

  • @peteroffpist1621
    @peteroffpist1621 2 месяца назад +5

    John had a great and rich life with a great family and friends, even if he as a young adult suffered some injuries. He was able to turn things around and prolonged his life a lot due to healthy foods. It’s not how many years you live, it’s the life quality and health during the years that you get that is the only thing that counts. Here John is a winner. Living another 10 or 20 years with poor health is not an option.

He cared and shared all his powerful knowledge to the world so we can live a healthier lifestyle. For all of us who knows his teachings and believe in his starch solution we must continue his legacy. My heart and thoughts goes out to Mary today, tomorrow and all the tomorrows ahead. You and l and so many others out there are his living proof that his way is the right way to live. It's the foods folks....it's the McDougall's Starch Solution ❤

    It is very sad to hear that Mcdougall has gone to heaven. Barry groves said eat all the animal fat you want and he died in his sleep at 77. Both Groves and McDougall didn't believe in many low starchy vegetables. McDougall recommended people kept the stomach room for starchy foods such as potatoes and Groves recommended people packed in the fat like cream, fatty cuts of meat and thought there was no need for fibre. For longevity packing in the dark green vegetables, rich in vitamin K, folic acid and calcium seems very important in reducing cancer risk, preventing heart disease and improving overall cognitive well-being. Interestingly, Caldwell Esselstyn, a plant basd doctor, who is still alive at 90 years old is a great believer in packing in dark leavy vegetables such as kale.
