He changed my life, went right with him. I am so healthy now. I never could quit smoking but I got off the sugars and flours and all the bad stuff and got off cigs easy; in a week's time I was a non smoker for life and I was a two packer a day. I tried it all, but getting my nutrition on track was the key. This guy is a genius. Since my twenties I always woke up stiff, after one month of nutrient rich eating, I got up one morning and just got up, no stiffness! How can that be? Tried every supplement but this really works; nutrient-rich foods are the way-to-go.

Thank You for being thankful to God for His perfect created foods and also for this awesome doctor humanitarian Dr Joel Furhman. Hope I spelled his name right. I will admit my mistakes if I did I want to be humble as Jesus requested in the Holy Bible King James Version most original translation of Jesus words to His followers in book of Matthew Chapter 18, maybe verse 4. Love of one hundred percent truth and Humility I received from my awesome parenrs example and received from quiet mindfulness experiencing the best ongoing love of and from God and His truths and for all humanity and the how to see at least two or three sides of everything so how to help self and others by the negative learning and original new help ideas for every aspect of life. I also do thank God for His blessings of Nutritional Science that can help every human be happier and healthier. Many Thanks to You All Who Love Truth God and Jesus and humans.

A great talk by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, MD. We are very fortunate to have MDs like him that write and tour the country giving lectures about the inherent healing power of the body. The great Harvard physiologist, Walter Bradford Cannon, who first described the Autonomic Nervous System and coined the term, "fight or flight response", titled his most famous book for medical students (back in 1932) "The Wisdom of the Body". Great job.

My mother didn't feel well and thought it was the flu. She went to her doctor and he told her that she had a minor heart attack. He offered her an angioplasty, or major heart surgery and she chose angioplasty thinking it was the least invasive of the two. In the middle of the operation, the stints collapsed, giving her a major heart attack and she spent the next five years of misery and passed away. It's terrible how misinformed we are regarding diet. When I was a baby, I had Pneumonia and my mother had doctors give me antibiotic shots which left me with a major fungal infection for years. My yeast issue was so devastating that I was constantly sick. I had a close friend that was a nutritionist. I called her and told her that I was going to check myself into a hospital and ask them to pump me full of antibiotics so I can get rid of this problem once and for all. She told me if I did that, I probably would kill myself and recommended several superfoods and vitamins for me. In two weeks I was over the problem and really opening my eyes to the importance of holistic remedies. Oddly enough, when I was a child, I refused to eat meat. Every night my mother had to urge me to eat the meat. I would wait till she left the room and throw it down the stairs for the stray cats to eat. Finally I became a regular meat eater. My significant other passed away 5 years ago and to get over the isolation and fear, I started to meditate on unconditional love. The more I did the happier and more loving I became. One day I had this thought that it's not loving to subjugate animals to this cruel fate of being slottered to feed humans and decided to stop eating meat.

I was looking for one video to show to my family who I hope will follow me and eat a PBWF diet and this is the one I think they should watch.

This is an honorable man!

Yes, he believes what he said. His religion sucked him in.

Treat diet related diseases with a healthy diet. What a concept!

LOL, true!

Bless humanistic plant-based doctors. "We cannot segregate the human heart from the environment outside us and say that once one of these is reformed everything will be improved. Man is organic with the world. His inner life molds the environment and is itself deeply affected by it." ~ Baha'i Faith

Definitely read the China study or watch “forks over knives” and “plant pure nation”.Very compelling. His comments about the cardiologist and his 75 year old patient. I had the same experience with mine. No mention of nutrition and its healing power. They also will not tell you that bypasses and stents will not allow you to live longer. Only by making permanent changes in your diet, exercise and stress levels can this be achieved.

I liked that. It's well summarized. "Diet, exercise, and stress levels" . That's the KEY. ;-)
