What the Health Page #12

We took 174 consecutive patients

with high blood pressure.

And 174 people were able to

lower their blood pressure

enough to eliminate

the need for medication.

For inflammatory bowel

disease like Crohn's,

the best remission rates ever

achieved through plant-based diet.

MS, multiple sclerosis,

the best results ever achieved

compared to

any medical, surgical,

any kind of intervention

was a plant-based diet.

You can see that with

every sequential reduction

in animal products,

people live longer,

they have less heart disease, they have

less cancer, they have less diabetes.

You can actually take human cancer

cells, put them in a petri dish,

and you can drip the blood

of those eating vegan,

get about 72% suppression in

human prostate cancer

cell growth in vitro,

they wanted to try this again

with women and breast cancer,

so they said, "Let's see what

a plant-based diet can do."

After just two weeks,

their bodies cleaned up.

You dropped their blood

on the same carpet

of cancer cells, you can

clear off the whole plate.

This is just after just two weeks eating

healthy, which raises the question,

what kind of blood do

we want in our bodies?

My background is in industrial

and systems engineering.

And that was my career

path for a long time until

I got thyroid cancer,

and everything

changed from there.

I decided that I wanted to try

alternative methods and treatments

rather than have surgery

and have my thyroid removed,

which meant I'd be on medication

forever, and I didn't want that.

I just started reading

on how a plant-based diet

can heal the body and it has

worked for so many people.

So, I immediately just switched to a

completely whole food plant-based diet.

After a year, the cancer

was completely gone.

And my thyroid had

shrunk to normal size.

And I was completely

free of that.

[Kip]

This was tough to believe.

Couldn't this all just be from eating

healthier, though, like no sugar?

Turns out Dr. Walter Kempner

from Duke University

back in the 1940s was

reversing some of our

worst killer diseases

with diet alone.

And the diet he was using was

not only strictly plant-based

but, it was made up of white

rice, fruit and table sugar.

And he was reversing diabetes, he was

reversing malignant hypertension,

reversing heart disease,

the diabetic complications,

reversing diabetic blindness.

So, these people basically had

death sentences, went to him,

and were given

basically sugar.

You know, this horrible diet,

but, it was strictly plant-based.

[Kip] If this information had

been around since the 1940s,

why don't

all doctors know this?

We're not taught about the power

of food in medical school.

No one is taught that

the changes that

we make with our diet

are probably the single most

powerful thing we can do

to determine our destiny.

It trumps our genetics.

Why isn't your doctor

telling this?

Odds are your doctor

never learned any of this.

In fact, there's even a bill introduced

just mandating physicians get seven hours

nutrition training every couple of

years, just to kinda stay on top of it.

And who came out against that?

The California

Medical Association.

Even the family physicians,

the surgeons,

all the mainstream medical

groups came out opposed.

It's seven hours.

That's a lot.

Even if it's over

one four-year period.

So, they're not just kinda neutral,

but, they're actually actively opposing

nutrition education.

Ironically, when patients

come to doctors with questions,

they assume that the doctor

knows something about nutrition

and so it's kind of

a double whammy

that doctors haven't been

taught much about nutrition.

[Kip] Why don't we hear

about this from dietitians

when nutrition is their

entire specialty?

Turns out the American Nutrition

and Dietetics Association

puts out nutrition fact sheets written

by the industries themselves.

The industries pay $20,000 per fact sheet

and explicitly take part in writing them.

So, you can learn about

eggs from the egg industry.

You can learn about lamb

from the lamb industry.

This would be like

learning about the benefits

of smoking from

the tobacco industry.

When people are eating meat, I

think of it as a bit like smoking.

It's sort of Russian roulette.

You may not get diabetes, but

your chances of getting diabetes,

about one in three.

You may not get cancer, but, your chances,

if you're a man, about one in two.

A woman, one in three.

Your chances of gaining

weight, two out of three.

It's not all diet,

but, most of it is.

The best thing that you

can do to make sure that

you empty all those

bullets out of the chamber

and not taking a risk

with your health

is to get the animal products out

of your diet and eat healthy foods.

I came to TrueNorth to

help me with my asthma

and to lose a little

weight, and it's amazing

just in two weeks

of changing my diet,

don't have to take

any asthma medication,

no antidepressants,

no pain medication,

no heart medication, nothing.

No medications at all.

And it's really,

it's just incredible.

I was taking oxy and Advil, and I

was taking 800 milligrams of Motrin

three times a day

just to get through the day

because I was

in so much pain.

- And now, nothing.

- Wow.

- Nothing at all.

- Two weeks.

Two weeks, 14 days.

All that medication,

you're completely off.

Completely off everything.

It's just been so

frustrating to me because

I went to so many

different doctors for help,

and I tried so many different

medications to help me with my asthma

and nothing helped, and

I was stuck on the couch

for the last 10 months

unable to breathe,

and now in two weeks' time,

14 days,

I'm off my medication.

And I can breathe and I

feel good, and I can walk.

My life has changed

and it only took

two weeks of whole

plant-based diet.

- That's incredible.

- Yeah.

That is incredible.

It really is.

- That's amazing.

- It really is.

I feel so blessed and so good and

just so happy to be doing this

and I'm hoping that

I can be a role model

for other people

and not be pushy about it.

Because everyone's gonna

do it in their own time.

But, thank God my time is now.

That's pretty cool.

Thanks.

Thanks!

[Kip] As powerful as Amy's story was, I

knew for some, eating a hundred percent

plant-based would

still seem extreme.

I think there's the sense that

everything's okay in moderation.

Right? But we haven't seen

that moderation works.

There really isn't a study that shows that

by eating meat and eggs in moderation

you can actually turn your heart

disease around and get better.

But, I know people who have given

up meat and they felt sick.

Yeah, it's unlikely

that anybody's symptoms

are caused by dead

decaying flesh deficiency.

The lack of highly processed

animal food products

in the diet is not gonna be

associated with the causal

factor by why they're sick.

There is gonna be a reason

why they're not feeling well,
