“I read the China study in 2006 and tried to change my diet. Failed. I read Dr. Barnard’s book in 2009 and tried to change my diet. Failed. In 2012 I tried to convince my cardiologist to let me do a vegan diet to bring down my cholesterol. I had seen forks over knives. I succeeded in bringing it down. It shocked my cardiologist, but again I couldn’t sustain it. In 2014 I got my first pacemaker, still didn’t change my diet. In 2018 I got my second pacemaker after being diagnosed with cardiac and pulmonary sarcoidosis. My rheumatologist recommended that I read Dr. Gregor’s book How Not to Die. This time I was all in but knew I wouldn’t succeed without help. I watched all the documentaries that I could, and I listen to all of the podcasts that I can on a regular basis. They help me stay focused and strong in my determination. My regular blood test proved that the diet could change me. i’m still at work in progress. I eat too much vegan junk food. I follow way too many vegan cooking posts on Instagram, and I still may slip occasionally. My doctor told me that if I’m 99% Whole Foods plant-based I’ll do well. So far so good! thank you for help keeping me strong. The Doctor won’t say I’m in remission yet, but I’m pretty darn close! Thank you so much for all of your informative podcasts! They keep me going!!!”
