  To illustrate one of the points Dr. Klaper makes; My grandfather died at 62 from a heart attack. His son, my father, had a major heart attack at 62 and was only saved by a triple bypass. Needless to say, I was apprehensive as I approached my 62nd birthday. However, I've been on a plant-based diet for thirty years and, when I did need a minor abdominal hernia op at 63, the hospital gave me a thorough medical. The anesthetist literally didn't believe it when I said I was on zero medication, and the surgeon said I had the heart and lungs of an 18 year-old. I'm now approaching my 67th birthday, and I feel like I'm still 18. One of the pivotal moments in my life was watching Dr. Klaper's lecture from a couple of decades ago, "A Diet for All Reasons." In short, this man changed my life, very much for the better.

  He&apos;s my favorite doctor, he actually cares about saving his patients instead of throwing them on pills and collecting the money. He&apos;s amazing!

  My general doctor told me that my plant based diet was going to kill me. I survived the cancer, but couldn’t tell him because he died of a heart disease.

  I lost my dad to heart disease on the day he was going to retire. He rode his bike up to the community pool to swim laps and lift weights on his lunch break from work, had a massive heart attack and died in the pool. I&apos;ve been eating a whole foods, plant-based diet for over 13 years and have never felt better! I&apos;m doing it for health, the animals, and the planet.

  What a human! His greatness makes me cry. I know, I sound silly but there is so much nastiness amongst the human kind that every time I come across THIS level of reason, kindness and compassion and intellect, I still get very affected. Dr. Klaper - thank you!

  This Dr. is a gift to his profession. Imagine a world where Drs are once again healers of the body. I cant wait till the day, this way of eating is considered the norm and not some extreme form of eating! The SAD diet should be cosidered junk food. Wake up people, food is a healer and it&apos;s way less radical than having your heart cut open.
