Plant Based Diet CURES Most Illnesses-Diseases - Dr. Esselstyn & Bill Clinton

Quote:

“When people learn to eat “Plant Based” to eliminate heart disease it could inaugurate a seismic revolution in health. Other diseases that resolve include obesity, hypertension, stroke, heart attacks, gall stones, diverticulitis, asthma, osteoporosis, allergies, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, lupus, & a marked decrease in the common western cancers of breast, prostate, colon, endometrial, ovarian, & pancreatic”.

"If the truth be known coronary artery disease is a toothless paper tiger that need never, ever exist & if it does exist it need never, ever progress."
So says Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, who was a researcher & clinician at the Cleveland Clinic for over 35 years. In 1991, Dr. Esselstyn served as the president of the American Assoc. of Endocrine Surgeons, & org. the 1st National Conference on the Elimination & Prevention of Heart Disease. In 2005, he became the 1st recipient of the Benjamin Spock Award for Compassion in Medicine. Dr. Esselstyn is also an Olympic gold medalist in rowing, & he was awarded the Bronze Star as an army surgeon in Vietnam. In this series of interviews I've conducted with extraordinary nutritional researchers & MD’s, I've sought to understand the link between diet & the most common & dreaded diseases that are prevalent in our culture. What I'm hearing over & over is that a plant based diet is both preventative & healing, whereas a diet high in animal protein is destructive to our health - this is the case with cancer, type 2 diabetes, & heart disease. The great news is that there is very real hope in shifting the course of our health. What is becoming very apparent through various peer reviewed studies is that by changing our diet - eliminating that which causes havoc in the body (animal protein) & adding in Plant Based proteins & eating lots of vegetables, legumes, beans, & whole grains, we can not only prevent disease, but also heal from it once it is already in motion.
