Renowned Medical Experts Agree:
Nutrition is the Prescription
America is in the midst of a critical health crisis. We are an overfed yet undernourished nation. While two-thirds of our population is overweight or obese, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, less than 5% of Americans get the minimum daily requirement of nutrition. As a result of our overabundance of calories and paucity of nutrients, diet related chronic illnesses are growing at epidemics rates. 70 million Americans have Heart Disease. Another 21 million have diabetes. Half of America’s adults take at least one prescription drug every day. Last year alone there were six prescriptions written for every person living in America. Unlike penicillin or antibiotics which actually cure illnesses… Americans are becoming dependent on drugs like Lipitor and Viagra which only treat the symptoms and do nothing to address the cause. With prescription costs rising, and more and more companies passing these costs back to their employees, Americans needs a low cost proven alternative to a life of drugs. Many of the world’s most renowned physicians agree that Nutrition Is The Prescription.
Over the past sixteen years, Dr. Fuhrman has successfully treated nearly 10,000 patients suffering from obesity, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, autoimmune disease and a host of other diet related chronic illnesses. In every case, Nutrition was the Prescription. During this period, he reviewed nearly 25,000 research studies in the area of nutrition and its impact on health. Many of these studies were conducted by the most renowned institutions in the world including Harvard, Cornell, and The Cleveland Clinic. They all agree on one thing. The current obesity and chronic illness epidemics plaguing our nation were brought on by what we ate…and can be cured by what we eat.
We hope that the following statements by some of the country’s most renowned medical doctors and scientists will support your commitment to eating a high nutrient diet.
"There is a wealth of published research that suggests that the diseases of affluence (heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, etc) are a result of poor nutrition; not poor genes or bad luck. So why doesn't the medical system take nutrition seriously? Four words: money, power, ego and control. While it is unfair to generalize about individual doctors, it is safe to say that the system they work in, the system that currently takes responsibility for promoting the health of Americans, is failing us. The entire system--government, science, medicine, industry and media--promotes profits over health, technology over food and confusion over clarity. "
T. Colin Campbell MD; Professor Cornell University, author of The China Study

"We live in an era where the majority of Americans think that diseases strike us because of misfortune, genetics, or unknown factors beyond our control. When serious disease "strikes," we run to doctors and expect them to fix us with a pill. Most people have no idea that most diseases—including cancers, heart disease, strokes, and diabetes—are the result of nutritional folly and are avoidable with a healthy diet."
Joel Fuhrman, M.D.; Chief Medical Officer Eat Right America

“There is absolutely no reason that anyone should ever die of heart disease; it is reversible at almost any age with the proper nutrition. Consumers just haven't been provided the right information.”
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn; Director of Cardiology at The Cleveland Clinic, and author of How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease.

“I would like to say right now that perhaps there can be no greater condemnation of 21st Century medicine then its refusal to share with the public the causation and cure of its most frightening chronic illnesses. How in the world can we have someone who's had two or three heart attacks and a couple of bypasses, and not say to them --- "Look. I'm tired of doing these bypasses for you. Why don't you cure yourself? I mean, it's not that these people can't do it, it's just that they don't have the information available. The public just isn't being told what they can do to cure themselves."
Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn; ; Director of Cardiology at The Cleveland Clinic, and author of How to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease.
In summary: what we eat is at the root cause of our nation’s health crisis. Drugs will not cure people already afflicted and it certainly won’t reverse these epidemic trends. If you want to live the longest, healthiest life possible then you must adopt a high nutrient diet. You simply can’t argue with 25,000 research studies that support this claim.
Eat Right America… live as healthy as you can.
