[@cypriano8763]

just one thing tho, why isent there a plethora of clinical trails showing actual reversal of arthrosclerosis. its important to be careful when we use these terms. reversal has never been conclusively proven and anecdotes are not proof.

[@PartlySunny74]

See Cochran institute meta analyses. Dr. Klaper says more publications are forthcoming too. Mind though, the financial incentives have nefariously favored more surgeries and meds, not kale and vinegar, as Dr. Esselstyn prescribes. Make your own proof, experiment and see the results yourself.

[@PartlySunny74]

This was as an excellent interview. Well done! ❤

[@soilikasanen]

​@@cypriano8763 Big food or Big Pharma ain't eager to fund such studies. It's been shown, however, that by using strong anticholestherol medication, plaque diminish. If I recall correctly, LDL- cholestherol had to be treated to level 1.1-1.4 mmol/l to accomplish that. WFPBD is much more wholesome approach.

[@caroleneary7935]

Great interview! Thank you for the work you are doing to change the information being “fed” to medical students, Dr. Clapper. I also found it interesting that my KZbin video was being bombarded with ads from doctors promoting diets high in fat and animal products while I was watching this video. Coincidence?

[@thebrocheckclub1777]

At 58 diagnosed with end-stage coronary artery disease. Put on 5 different meds and booked in for a stent. After 3 months of whole plant-based, no oil, no salt, no caffeine, no dairy, my angina pain was gone. After 6 months, I turned down the stent procedure. 2 years later at 60 I have low LDL, low APOB Low LPa Low CPR and most of all have my life and health back and take no meds. Reversal exists.

[@docbegone1716]

Adults Should Not Be Pampered! Great message but I believe that this message has been and is being watered down. It is nice to be nice when speaking to people, but if people are truly willing and "hunger" about becoming healthy, the message given should not be watered down. The message should be: this is what you should eat, this is what you shouldn't eat, and how healthy of a response you get is totally dependent on your adherence to this information - more adherence equals better results, and less adherence equals less results. The "foreign" food will become much more tastier over time, and it will be craved for. The body has to forget about the "unhealthy" tastes and start craving healthy tastes - and it will. Remember people, moderation comes in all forms - do you want moderate diabetes or moderate heart disease. If not, you should not be eating moderately healthy food - it should be close to 100% healthy. Do we want to be pampered or healthy? I've lost too many friends and family members who only wanted to be pampered - I was almost one of them, but I chose to be healthy instead. I thank my long lost disease for giving me the scare, courage and motivation to wake up and change my life and future - that was over 10 years ago now. Whole Plant Based Foods all the way - baby... I love what you are doing Dr Klaper. Keep up the great work. Peace and love always.

He says that eggs are a problem because they raise cholesterol, but cholesterol actually isn't a problem. Triglycerides are. What raises triglycerides? Starch and sugars. 34:50 The host says " I've never seen anybody eat an egg without toast." He must exist in a plant based bubble. I eat plenty of eggs. I never eat toast. I eat very little wheat period. It's the worst..

[@happycarnivore..]

@@gmw3083 Eggs help increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels - or “good” cholesterol as it’s commonly known - and this is one reason why eggs have been found to have little to no effect on heart disease risk. It's low-density lipoprotein (LDL) - or "bad" cholesterol - that can put heart health at risk. Meals high in saturated fats and trans-fats such as deep-fried takeaway foods are the key culprits when it comes to increased risk levels of LDL cholesterol.

I’m 63 and vegan for 8 years. I take no medications. I’m glad you were able to get off medications. Many elderly people are in kidney failure right now from medications which they have taken for the last 30+ years. The liver and kidneys were not designed to break down medication chemicals every day, year in and year out. My parents and my grandmother took high blood pressure medications for 40+ years from about age 40. Those medications had a debilitating effect on them in the long run.

I work at a desk in endocrinology and our nutritionists don't promote plant based. I believe if our clinic did, we'd go bankrupt.

Love Dr. Klapper. He's 100 percent right. Went vegan a little over a year. Had i known what they do too these beautiful animals would have done it years ago. Once you really know how can anyone eat these beautiful sweet sentient beings?? So true about what Paul McCartney says anyone who knows what goes in a slaughter house becomes vegan. I saw some footage on Instagram and that was it for me.

Fantastic! I am a Urologist and give my patients a flyer on plant based nutrition. To bad the Cardiologists, Pediatricians, and Internists are not on the same page.

Yeah it's strange how the mantra of high blood glucose is the main cause and not the symptom of diabetes amongst medical professionals just proves what a smokescreen is being perpetrated.

I truly believe it's in the hands of the physicians to guide the population to health. Doctors quit "doctoring" for sure when covid hit, which is another thing altogether but now, now, what an opportunity to gain the trust of the population back...whole food plant based will change the world.

[@cherij7000]

​@@traceybaucom5755 I do not believe that my health should be in the hands of a physician. My health is my personal responsibility. I am not sure doctoring should include dispensing nutrition advice unless a person has a lifestyle disease. (which granted, many people do). My doctor doesn't have a clue what to do with me, a healthy 62 year old on no medication.

[@traceybaucom5755]

@@cherij7000 I also believe that my health should not be in the hands of anyone else. That being said, look at the population sitting in doctor's offices every day. Millions go weekly. Most health issues stem from lifestyle. All of these people listening to everything an allopathic doctor says like God is speaking in their ear. At least if the doctor has had nutritional training and is in tune with lifestyle medicine the population would be in much better shape. My doctor as well has no clue what to do with me as a 67 year old vegan. All of this being said...I have worked with physicians for years (administratively), I worked nearly 30 years in the environmental field (hospitals, facilities, etc.) and have worked in the mental health and legal fields. My degrees are in Psychology and I have Nutritional and Lifestyle certifications. I have taken care of dying family, all from lifestyle diseases ..and they ALL listened to allopathic doctors and made no lifestyle changes. So, since these doctors have these people's direct attention, I feel the onus is on them to educate themselves and actively promote healthy living.

[@kevinfaust2529]

You are the first doctor I heard apologize for feeding us this medical industry garbage. Most just don’t understand though. Thank you for spreading the truth. You are a blessing.

[@KK-111]

34 yrs vegan, and- though I had true allergies to dairy and eggs- and was raised with the SAD like everyone else... the ONLY thing that stopped me- out of the blue, one day, at age 29- was walking by the smelly, flesh- decomposing, meat counter at Whole Foods, and having an a-ha moment of the tremendous suffering of animals -required for the 5 min taste sensation for humans... From that moment on, that awareness in my heart/soul was the driving motivation to never eat animal flesh again. Later, I would travel cross country, and pass by the despicable, cruel, inhumane, barbaric factory farms of the midwest, with cows knee deep in their own manure, confined in the glaring sun and heat with no shelter, and with no green space in sight... I had many many pig slaughter transport trucks pass me on the highway- with the pigs' intelligent and conscious eyes peering out of the slats in crowded trucks, with horror/fear/desperation in their eyes... later, learning that these transport trucks did not provide water or food or climate control, and these suffered in untold ways until, and including, their way of death. I will NEVER EVER support this industry in any way again in my life.

[@knittingknut]

Yet you support the killing and torture of of animals to grow the grains and fruits and vegetables you eat. There is no human food without death and destruction of animals. Your way of eating is just as cruel but it happens far away from you out in the fields so you can delude yourself into thinking that “ No AnImaLs WerE HarMeD for the FoOd I eat”. Stop with the lies and self delusion. You’re no better than the rest of us.

[@sharongillesp]

Most nutritionists don’t even have an understanding about a vegan diet!

[@Gillibrand65]

Excellent video. It’s so frustrating that people still do not accept the truth that’s in front of them…

This is because they are conditioned with the meat industry marketing that is everywhere. It’s on the street, in the ads and every supermarket is full of animal products. We need more marketing for good vegan food to slowly make a switch. So we need to do the same as they do. To advertise everywhere. 😊

The 5 people you mentioned are entertainers with zero credentials in nutritional biochemistry. You should only get diet advice from a real Ph.D in nutritional biochemistry with awards and honors and or a Nobel Prize with a long term track record of being right such as Roger J. Williams, Frederick Gowland Hopkins, Fred Kummerow, George H. Whipple, William Parry Murphy, Edward Adelbert Doisy, all 6 would say that single ingredient meat, poultry, fish and eggs are good for you in moderation and that dairy is ok in small amounts if you like it and are not allergic to it but a human is an omnivore and they should still consume a balanced diet in the basic 4 food groups.

[@basbleupeaunoire]

@@StanDupp6371 They're entertainers, not doctors? You showed your hand. I looked up those men. Brilliant, yes. But not one of them had "a PhD in nutritional biochemistry." And two of them were physicians. One PhD was in physiology. The others were in chemistry or biochemistry. One of the old guard plant-based diet men is Colin Campbell, a biochemist. The most recent PhD seems to be from 1943. There have been too many discoveries, too many shifts in what foods are like and which ones are available to hang your hat on that alone. I'd be more interested in what biochemists are saying about vegetarian or vegan diets *now*. Or at least in the past 50 years! In particular, I'd be interested to see if the ruling idea in the field nowadays is that everybody has to eat animal products. As far as I know, that answer is "no." Some of the old guard plant-based diet folks are motivated by the philosophy of veganism, which leads them to do things like blur the distinction between evidence for vegan diets and evidence for predominantly plant diets. I'm convinced that humans are omnivores. But omnivores like our closest relatives: chimps, bonobos, and gorillas. Their diets are 95+ percent plant based, and contain no dairy. I'm also convinced that people can enjoy fantastic health on a plant-based diet.

I exercise a lot everyday in my garden, barefoot and shirtless. I went almost only organic in 2008 (16 years ago). I dropped eating everyhing from wheat some 5 years ago. I practice Int. Fasting. I consume mostly non sweet fruits like coconut and avocado. I've nevertaken any supplements or pharmaceutical drugs.The diseases I've had along the last 50 years was pharingiitis, that I cured with Homeophatic compound, nail fungus that I cured with iodine and a mild dengue fever that I cured with a 6 day water-only fast. My most common staple foods for the only warm meal (dinner) are oats, lentils or other beans, organic brown rice, sweet potatoes, okra, and several greens from my garden. As a retired engineer I live a minimalist, stress-free life in a small countryside town in Brazil.

[@sw6118]

Olives are nutritious and a handful of them contains a small amount of oil. The amount of extracted olive oil found in dressings, dipping sauces and mayo is too much. It is possible to have too much of a “good” thing, turning it into a bad thing.

In the last couple of years my husband, from taking 120+ units of insulin a day + lots of other medications, changed his diet gradually got off his medication, then lost 50kg. He was not asked once how he did it, and had to fight with his dr to stop the last diabetic medication. The diabetic nurse who also did not ask how he did it was the only one to congratulate him. She said in her 14 yrs of being a diabetic nurse, he is the only person who has reversed diabetes. Yet no one is interested. Why is this achievement not lauded by the medical profession? Is it lack of interest? Is it they would prefer to continue prescribing medicine? Is it challenging the Drs knowledge when someone can do this for themselves yet the Drs with all their medical knowledge and education can’t do it? My husband is doing well and getting healthier and healthier. 🌿

[@rozchristopherson648]

I’m 63 and vegan for 8 years. Mainly vegetarian since college. About a year ago, I started my high fruit/raw vegan diet. I still eat some cooked food but try to eat most of my diet raw. I was a caregiver to my elderly parents and my grandmother for 17 years until their deaths. They all suffered from high blood pressure from about age 40 and took medication for it for 40+ years. My father had 8 strokes, my mother had congestive heart failure, and my grandmother had TIAs and kept falling and seriously injuring herself, eventually having to go into a nursing home. None of my relatives were overweight. But each passed from some form of arteriosclerosis (clogged arteries). Their doctors told them “hardening of the arteries “ was hereditary. The only dietary advice e they were given was to eat a banana daily and limit salt. No mention whatsoever of eliminating animal products from the diet. I think a lot of the issue is that young people eat the Standard American Diet full of animal products which is the diet they grew up eating. They see the illnesses of elderly people as just the result of old age. They don’t see those illnesses-strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, kidney failure, cataracts, etc.-as the result of the long-term accumulation of animal fats and protein in the arteries which destroy the body. So the young people just keep eating this way because it’s not causing problems at that time. By he time the ey are 49-59 years old and they start having health problems, then they willingly take medication, thinking this is just a natural part of growing older. But they keep eating the food they’ve always eaten and enjoyed. By the time they are 60+, they have become habituated to eating animals and taking medications. Next step of bypass, stents, and other procedures are what they are willing to do because they have convinced themselves and doctors have convinced them that there’s no other way. A former coworker of mine, upon learning that I was vegan, exclaimed “poor Roz!!!” Yes this woman, much younger than myself, has severe Type 2 diabetes and is often very ill due to raised blood sugar levels. People in this culture have just been trained to eat whatever they want and to run to the doctor when they are ill. The connection between certain illnesses and diet is not even thought of, not even by most in the medical profession.

[@dianebaker4784]

Congratulations on your diet. I am 76 years and have been vegetarian for 36 years, mostly vegan, and am not on any prescription medication. I have friends on the SAD, taking medications daily who say how much they love animals. When I talk about the suffering of the animals they eat, they turn their heads and just say, "I don't want to hear about that". Very ignorant. It can be very hard to change people's viewpoint when they have grown up eating animals. I wish I could.

[@lakehuron7733]

Delightful interview--thank you both

[@smokey11a1]

I used to be plant based for decades before it was cool. Absorption of some nutrients was obviously difficult. I noticed when I ate an egg I felt fantastic and it helped my heart condition. I then started intermittent fasting of 18 hours a day. Now I feel better than when I was 18.

[@northerncoloradotransparen1454]

I find it shocking when people make assertions that vegetables and fruits are killing us. If the same funds were applied to organic fruits and vegetables as applied to animal agriculture populations would be much healthier.

[@DeliveringSolutions]

I was whole food plant based for 90 days and I felt better than I did on the Standard American Diet. 9 of the last 12 months, I have been on a whole-food meat based diet (98 % carnivore) and it has been so amazing that I have decided that I'm going to eat this way for the rest of my life. Seriously, if you are open minded, you should be willing to seriously try both diets for 90 days and decide for yourself.

[@dianebaker4784]

Have you thought about the planet to maintain the animals that will be slaughtered to feed your body? If everyone ate a carnivorous diet the cruelty and suffering of these sentient animals would increase and that is something I oppose. Put yourself in their position, think about it. How would you feel???

[@rjj-52]

Most Americans have eaten meat and potatoes the better parts of our lives. Many have even take the lettuce off their burgers - I've seen them do it. But most of the people who have switched to plant based have already lived the carnivore lifestyle and are now seeing the benefits of whole plant food for their own personal health, the good of the planet, and the love of sentient beings suffering a horrible existence for human high-jacked taste buds. All of our taste buds were high jacked in infancy. Whole plant foods just allow us to get them back.

[@lizxxx631]

Aside from the ethical reasons for not eating meat, I think conivore may not be the problem health wise. The problem comes with mixing "carnivore" with carbs. Carnivore with carbs is a deadly mixture. Bottom line; if you eat high fat you need to stay away from carbs--if you eat high carbs you have to stay away from fat.

[@lizxxx631]

It has been known for a long time that the French have fewer heart attacks than the US. People have wondered why because their diet is relatively high in fat. If you look through a French cookbook you will notice the recipes are relatively high in fat but they are also relatively low in carbs. They also don't allow all the chemicals we allow in our foods. More of their food is also more organic.

[@lizxxx631]

I think the answer is if you're into veggies stick with whole foods, preferably organic, limit sugar and refined flour. Be reasonable with fats. If you're into meat, dairy, eggs, avoid sugars or artificial sweetener and refined flour, keep all carbs low. Try to source your meat, dairy and eggs from sources where they are fed a natural diet. Limit fruit and high glycemic veggies.

[@user-oo8vz3ep9x]

Excellent interview. Thanks

[@donh7654]

Fixed my angina heart disease. Then found out that I have prostate cancer in 2018. When the psa test went up to 7.76 in and doctor had me take a MRI a months 1/2 later. Then finally when I had my next doctor visit and had another psa test. They had me fill out some paper work asked me if I change anything and I wrote down a whole plant base diet. Found out my psa test came back 3.31. Then the doctor told me if the psa test came up again they were going to do another biopsy. That was last year and that was all had to tell me! This March psa was 2.66. BTW, I found out that the plant base meat substitute mimics meat to well causing the cancer to grow. Now I make black bean burgers! No problem!

[@kathym9322]

This! Thus is absolutely true. PSA will go down. My husbands went down as well on no dairy. That was before we went WFPB. Now we are WFPB.

[@jenbidding4544]

Brilliant interview! Many thanks to Joe Best for asking such probing questions; he really draws out the best from Dr Klaper here. Gosh, I feel like I need to be locked up at True North for 90 days. I will try his advice for the soups and salads,.. and to lower my starchy starches.

[@loisjackson6572]

Thank you both! What an informative interview. Dr. Klapper is one of my Plant Based heroes.

[@VirginiaFeuRosa]

WOW absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much!

[@Shinibo]

I love Dr. Klaper's positive energy and occasionally fun phrases like when he talked about carrots don't scream when you cut them and the Egg industry is beating an old horse as long as they can, LOL. I also thought the interviewer had some interesting and clever questions. Well done!

[@caraosullivan7089]

Just want to make sure I'm clear on what he said about minute 13:00--no legumes except for lentils? 'I need to so what he advises to re-jumpstart weight loss. For me, he's the voice of reason!

[@sammavitae114]

If you are trying to lose weight use lentils because they have the least fat than other pulses or beans.

[@VeganViki]

You could check out the website "Physicians committee for responsible medicine" it's a plant-based physician website they have plenty of recipes to choose from.

[@Barbara-ch3qf]

There has been some fact checking of Fung. Apparently he’s a bit fast and loose with the science. So I’d avoid him. I did really like him, but not after reading the analysis of his misrepresentations. I like Simon Hill. He has a podcast and interviews researchers, etc. The Proof. Nutrition Made Simple is also a good source of info. He’s not vegan but is an MD/PhD.

[@soilikasanen]

​@Barbara-ch3qf Gil Carvalho is vegan. He just doesn't bring it up if not asked.

[@wendyash6915]

My husband and I have been vegan for over 10 years now. It took EVERY reason to keep us on that path, at least in the first few years of getting over the “addiction” to eating animals. We started with health, we reinforced with animal wellbeing, and we sustain with health, animals, and environment. It took all three to keep us here and now I feel it is just our way of life and we find eating animals to be as disgusting as the thought of eating insects or dog food.

[@chat5254]

Great interview with Dr. Klaper. He explains it well.

[@lesterlasa3367]

Excellent video so true

[@user-or6tr1jc7s]

Brilliant, thanks for this great interview

[@mariepienne6]

Brilliant interview….

[@Kiyarose3999]

There is an English Vegan & Animal Rights Activist who works at Harvard University as a lecturer, he has a big following on KZbin he is known as Earthling Ed( Ed Winters). Although he advocates Animal Rights I think he would be a good person for Dr Klaper to talk to at Harvard. 🌻🌎✊🏽

[@alwayslearning8365]

I switched from peanut butter and jelly to raw peanut butter and dill pickles. Excellent flavour and no sugar. 👍👍

[@jeannine7002]

Thanks to Jesus Christ, I have been vegan since 2003 and dropped modern medicine for herbs! I am feeling and looking much better. ❤ An occasional juice fast is also helpful!

[@Meathead-10810]

I did my own n=1 study and corrected the following health problems with only diet, no supplements or exercise obesity, prediabetes, loose teeth, bleeding gums, sensitive teeth cold sores, blocked sinuses, mouth breathing, left eye twitches (tetany) heartburn, calf cramps, yellow stool, blood in stool edema below the knees, painful feet when walking, sunburn is less shoulder, back and neck pain after waking, lower back pain and stiffness 5+ Years on the carnivore lifestyle now :) Eat Meat, Not Too Little, Mostly Fat

[@MisterTaft]

Me too. It is bizarre how religious people in the veg community are. Lost 90 lbs eating meat and eggs, reduced inflammation, regained energy and visceral fat at 6.

[@mattoltman7122]

A guy with quadruple heart blockage eats a meal of bread, seed oils, and ice cream and his blood looks gross. Conclusion: meat is bad. Okay… I have also saved my and my wife’s health with carnivore.

[@fracritel]

What an excellent interviewer as well Doc Klaper

[@viviendaquino8364]

I certainly agree that once you see what happens to animals in animal agriculture and factory farming, being plant-based is much, much easier to stick to. It is my main motivation. Then comes the planet, health and future zoonotic pandemics. Dr Klaper is someone I admire greatly, and I wish his vision of healthcare will eventually come true. 😊

[@kerryjordan2525]

Im so thankful you asked the question and Dr Klaper's response about the slower body release of tummy weight in some (me). It has been a good year of me trying to lose that stubborn excess weight. Wish I was in the states so I could attend True North, but not possible. Will look more into their diet reform as I follow the Starch Solution now and maybe need to up the ante on greens , soups etc.

[@jenniferdiaz7166]

49 yo and diagnosed 2 years ago with psoriatic arthritis. I was at a pain level of 10 and almost in a wheelchair. I went vegan and I went down to a 5 pain level and now able to function. I unfortunately still have to do some medication so to not exacerbate my condition. But I feel great all my lbs are perfect and my doctor is amazed that just by diet alone I have cut my pain level in half.

[@dano3523]

Thank you for doing this. Very informative and entertaining. WFPB medicine should be taught in every medical school. Would love to work with Dr Klaper!

[@AcmePhoto]

For those who say meat and eggs are evil & the cause of bad health, please look up Laura Spath and tell me the science behind how carnivore, cheese, and eggs transformed her life as well as her husband's life. 😮 That woman is definitely healthier now than 5 years ago.

[@rozchristopherson648]

What will these people by like by age 60 or 70. That is the real test. Animal fats and protein build up in the arteries over time, causing arteriosclerosis. Doesn’t happen overnight. Takes time. Catches up with everyone eventually if they live long enough. Im 63 and vegan for 8 years. Was a caregiver to elderly parents and my grandmother for 17 years. If you pay attention to what happens to old people, you’ll realize the plant-based doctors are right.

[@dianebaker4784]

Poor animals - more suffering........

[@mattoltman7122]

Nothing on this planet lives without the death of something else.

[@MarkDurbin]

Such a motivating interview, thank you!

[@brieannatyler6055]

"Rice and beans don't complain and I've never heard a carrot scream." One of the best lines in this whole video! :) We love you and your work Dr. Klaper! I wish everyone practicing medicine and working in healthcare took on this attitude about health. What a difference it could make! I am almost done with Nursing school and I work as a Nurse assistant in the Emergency room... you're absolutely right that the overwhelming majority of people who come in for treatment are the victims of lifestyle diseases and self-inflicted ailments from poor choices (mostly dietary, alcohol, and tobacco intake along with sedentary ways of life). They are the epitome of the standard American diet and lifestyle. It's really sad. And more and more, we are seeing young people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s coming in with strokes and heart attacks... it all goes back to this awful way of life that has become all too common here in the States. It's really sad. ALL of this is PREVENTABLE and REVERSIBLE!!

[@martinholas8652]

Thank you sir, i have a similar experience as you and the same attitude. I bet big pharma dont like people like you. You do a great job spreading the truth.

[@saltandlight2311]

Vegan for many many years but my crop of my recent silver belt chard I grew caused me to have arthritis in my hand and hip and knee… I researched and it’s oxalates apparently. Egg seems like the better choice then the high oxalate tofu

[@tarmahomedjoosub5552]

Can you provide references regarding pre-testing that the subjects were loaded with a high egg diet? I could not find this. I would like to confront Dr.

[@debbiel1228]

"Pharmacosclerosis" I love the sarcasm!!! It's so, so true.

[@bob9749]

Joe Best's point about letting the former gp know about changes resonated with me as I too left the system. The only thing I've seen physicians for since going wfpb is fractures (bike crash) but my last gp has left the country and the one before that has lon been retired.

[@klelusive]

I'm glad you guys are out here doing good work and spreading this message. I get so tired of people trying to argue with me for their stupid meat and dairy diets. It pisses me off to the point I dont care anymore. They can eat whatever they want but the facts are the facts...

[@ChakaBadu]

Last I checked, Gorillas can't cook very well or they probably WOULD eat eggs but regular eggs sold in the toxic waste dumps we call "grocery stores" are high in omega 6s. Farm fresh eggs from pastured hens have the highly beneficial Omega 3s.

[@Don_Kikkon]

Humans made friends with fire, then wolves, which probably gave us the confidence to think that maybe the tribe over the hill isn't so bad after all? Rinse and repeat and what do you know, Civilization! Let's keep going. So far expanding our circle of empathy has worked out pretty well. Great vid, great questions as always and great channel. Thanks so much. : )

[@ellenawalter2357]

I went on plant base diet two years ago my blood counts are good compared what they were. I will stay on a vegan diet plant based because I've seen what it's doing for me.
