Reversible Diseases

Hardened blood vessel diseases still kill more people, not only in this country, but also worldwide, than everything else combined, and yet, it's completely preventable for almost everybody. It's not only preventable, it's actually reversible, and for the last almost 29 years, we've been able to show that by simply changing diet and lifestyle, using these very high-tech, expensive, state-of-the-art measures to prove how powerful these very simple and low-tech and low-cost interventions can be like quantitative arteriography before and after a year, and cardiac PET scans. We showed a few months ago, we published the first study showing that you can actually stop or reverse the progression of prostate cancer by making changes in diet and lifestyle. Now, there is an epidemic of obesity, two-thirds of adults and fifteen percent of kids. What's really concerning to me is that diabetes has increased seventy percent in the past 10 years, and this may be the first generation in which our kids live a shorter lifespan than we do. That's pitiful, and it's preventable.
