The following is a powerful letter written by practicing physician Dr. Kerry Graff to fellow medical practitioners. I imagine that it will cause quite a stir in the medical community. That is the very reason for including it here—to “stir things up” for the sake of physicians and patients alike.
The letter appears in the 4 LEAF GUIDE TO VIBRANT HEALTH, co-written by Dr. Graff and J. Morris Hicks. You can purchase the book through Amazon or at the book’s website http://4leafprogram.com/ where you will find a wealth of resources for physicians and patients opening the door to a new life of vibrant health.
To: All Medical Providers
Subject: Prevent and reverse disease with optimal diet
Dear Fellow Medical Practitioners,
As medical professionals, we have the responsibility to provide our patients with the very best advice available when it comes to health. That includes advising them on what they should be eating. In fact, I would argue that dispensing sound, health-promoting dietary advice is our single most important responsibility. Why is that? Because what a patient eats matters more to their health than any pill we can prescribe or procedure we can do.
Although not yet being taught in medical schools, there now exists a mountain of evidence supporting the fact that a whole food, plant-based diet-style can prevent, reverse or even cure most of the chronic diseases experienced in western society. It is now crystal clear that humans should be eating far more whole plants and far less meat, dairy, eggs, fish and highly-processed foods. With that mountain of evidence, it is now morally imperative that we educate ourselves and our patients about these powerful nutritional truths and their monumental impact on human health.
What can this powerful diet-style do for our patients? For starters, studies have shown that more than 95% of heart patients adopting this diet will NEVER HAVE ANOTHER CARDIAC EVENT. Type 2 diabetes can be reversed in almost all cases and cured in many. And most cancers can be prevented or halted if they have already started. The health benefits are extraordinary.
