Thoughts

I saw a friend of mine the other day that I had not seen in a couple of years. She looked really good and I noticed she had lost some weight since the last time that I saw her. She told me that a couple of months ago she switched health insurance companies and the new company that she switched to required her to read the book Eat to Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman before they would accept her on their insurance plan. In this book, Dr. Fuhrman discusses the importance of a vegan diet. My friend told me she had lost fifteen pounds after reading this book. Dr. Fuhrman is not a raw foodist but at least there are doctors that realize the importance of a vegan diet for health! I was also very impressed with the insurance company that also realizes the importance of a vegan diet for keeping their clients healthy! I will find out the name of the insurance company because I am very impressed with them! There are other doctors that are advocating a vegan diet and are using this diet to cure people of diseases. The website The Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine is made up of doctors who know the importance of a vegan diet! Check out their website at www.pcrm.org/.
This same organization has created an organization called The Cancer Project. The Cancer Project is a collaborative effort of physicians, researchers, and nutritionists who have joined together to educate individuals, families, and the public on the benefits of a healthy diet for cancer prevention and survival. They provide free vegan cooking classes and you can check out their website to find one near you www.cancerproject.org/. I know they have a lot of classes going on in Atlanta that some of my friends have gone to, the classes are completely free and include a booklet, as well as a cooking demonstration, with free taste testing!
