Here's a quote from the link -

"My blood pressure is 100/60 mmHg, total cholesterol is 111 mg/dl and LDL cholesterol is 60 mg/dl—and I do not take any medicines. "

"The greatest life-saving medical discovery of the last 50 years is the verification that a plant based diet optimizes health and diminishes the risk of heart attack and stroke. This also lowers the risk of diabetes, multi-infarct dementia, impotence and some cancers. In other words, there is a way to be as healthy as possible. It took me 25 years to learn this the hard way."  (Emphasis Added)

Doctor saves self & wife, changing to a vegetarian diet

Here's a quote  from the link -

"My cholesterol was high enough (261) that the internist had started me on statin drugs to lower it. The numbers improved a little, but the muscle pains and tingling in my fingers convinced me to stop taking them. Now, without medication, my cholesterol is less than 150, and my triglycerides dropped from above 400 to 68." (Emphasis Added)

Vanessa And Her Victory Over Lupus.

It's all about saving lives.

Here's some quotes from the link -

"Lupus (also known as systemic lupus and lupus erythematosus) involves the whole body, including the immune system. In sensitive people food proteins (usually animal proteins) enter the bloodstream through a "leaky gut." The body makes antibodies to these foods proteins. Unfortunately, the antibodies do two things that cause problems:

1. antibody-antigen complexes are formed that persist and become stuck in the skin, joints, and/or kidneys, and cause an inflammatory reaction (like slivers of wood stuck under the skin);
2. antibodies are made to these foreign food proteins that also attack the person's own tissues (skin, joints, kidneys and other tissues)."

"Traditional medical treatments fail to arrest this disease. A healthy, pure-vegetarian, low-fat, diet will dramatically benefit and often cure people of this disease – as in Vanessa's case." 

"Even though these results do not occur with everyone, they are typical for people who make the diet and lifestyle changes of the McDougall Program."

"The following month when her lab results came back they were better than they had ever been. She is now off all medication. She has been for about 4 months. She will never eat anything other than low-fat vegan the rest of her life."

" I thank God for leading me to find the McDougall plan. It has saved my daughters life." (Emphasis Added)

Diabetes (Adult Onset and Juvenile)

Dr John McDougall has save many lives with just a Starch Based Diet that is very Low in Fat.

http://www.drmcdougall.com/med_diabetes.html

Here are some quotes from the link -

"Both forms of diabetes, childhood and adult, are rare in parts of the world where people's meals are based on starches."

"For cases of childhood diabetes the explanation is cow's milk consumption. Cow's milk protein fed to young children causes an autoimmune reaction that causes the body to direct antibodies to the child's pancreas."

"Atherosclerosis is remarkably uncommon in the few cases of diabetes found in counties in Africa and Asia where the diet is largely starch-based. These few diabetics live almost free of heart disease, strokes, and gangrene which are too common among diabetics indulging in the unending American feast." (Emphasis Added)

A High Starch Diet Can Reverse and Cure Diabetes

Here's a clear example of someone saving lives. 

It's amazing how a HIGH STARCH diet can reverse and CURE Type 2 Diabetes.
