There are so many proofs on how a Whole Foods Plant Based diet can help your body become healthy again.
I guess one of the first real influencers that challenged the status quo was Nathan Pritikin. There is an amazing YouTube video of an interview between Dr John Mc Dougall and Nathan Pritikin that really demonstrates the power of using diet to put you on the path to being healthy.
The serendipitous associations of whole foods plant based activists is almost magical. One of the first patients to go to the Pritikin institute was a very frail lady called Frances Greger. When she was 65 years old she was sent home by her attending physicians to wait for the end. She happened to see a television show about a pioneering approach to reverse heart disease. She went to the institute and returned after a full recovery to live to a ripe old age of 96. Dr Michael Greger talks about this same story as one of the many direct events that influenced his quest for helping people progress on the same path.

I would not be able to do justice to the amazing people that are directly involved in the field of using whole food plant based diet as a means to help people reverse their chronic illnesses. Some key thought leaders and influencers in this field include: Dr Collin Campbell, Dr Caldwell Esselstyn, Dr Dean Ornish, Dr John McDougall, Dr Michael Klaper, Dr Neal Barnard and Dr Michael Greger. They have dedicated their lives to try and influence governments, the medical association and the general public.
As I highlighted before, I am not trying to convince people to change, the whole concept with Cardiac Mentors is that the people who need to change are the ones that also could do with a helping hand. They have made their decision and want to be guided on the path. We have pulled together all of the material that has been used in the past to help guide the people on the path of empowerment. When you are informed you can work with your GP with the confidence that you are getting better and not being a slave to a lifetime of polypharmaceuticals.
