    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!!!

The China study with Dr T Campbell is real step to understanding the causative agent of animal protein..the culprit of all.

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.

    I feel the best when I am on a carnivore diet. 90% of my diet is meat, the rest is dairy products. No processed food, very little plant and fruit. 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.

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.

    This is also a good reminder to eat the dark leafy greens a lot. I sometimes say nah, not gonna put them in there. It's easy! I just shred the spinach by hand and mix it in. One of the most important foods we eat, as well beans. What we don't eat is just as important it should be highlighted and any oil is banned. It takes cooking but very simple tasty things can be made. I do it everyday and been on the program 5 years now. I'm on a similar program called Mcdougall diet.

      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.

      The "innocent animals" will cease to exist other than feral chickens, etc because mankind won't raise them for their eggs and/or meat which may be good in the sense that all those sheep, pigs, cows and what-not that no longer exist will reduce the greenhouse gasses produced by their flatulence.

    Definitely to reconsider how we eat. I will be doing further investigation on the same.

      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

    • @WorldOfARandomVegan

    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.

      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.

I pass this information onto my stubborn brother but There an old saying, "You can lead a horse to water (but you can't make him/it drink).

    @Haseeb2 I agree that some fish are healthier than others and better than other animals. But does adding any fish to ones diet improve or diminish the health of that diet compared to getting those same nutrients from non-animal sources. A neutral or slightly negative impact is still completely different than making ones diet better. If DHA is a concern, algae extracts offer a non-fish source.

    At 26 I had a 90% blockage in my LAD and doctors could not explain why but proceeded with a stent. They told me that although I had an unhealthy lifestyle of smoking and unhealthy eating this should not have happened. I accepted this as God's will and decided to live with this disease but always felt anxious and depressed as most research and stigma around heart disease is negative and always made it feel that I would inevitably die of heart disease and after having kids now being 32, I entered into bad depression about my life expectancy although now I have lost 18kgs, ceased all smoking and eat very healthy. I was feeling really bad until I came across Dr Esselstyn's videos and now I have hope for myself that I can lead a normal and long life, I have also ordered his book which includes all of the recipes etc and have accepted that I must change my life even further and adapt a more healthier lifestyle if I'm to be here for a long time and not have any further cardiac complications in the future.
