*WE ARE LIVING AMONG AN ADDICTED POPULATION OF COMPULSIVE EATERS, CREATING ALLERGIC AND SICKLEY INDIVIDUALS. EAT AND LIVE LIKE MOST AMERICANS AND YOU WILL EVENTUALLY SUFFER FROM AN ASSORTMENT OF AILMENTS, LIKE MOST AMERICANS.
*Good health is not merely the absence of disease. Good health assumes protection from disease in the future and can be predicted only by a healthy lifestyle and diet.
You cannot BUY YOUR HEALTH; you must EARN IT through HEALTHY LIVING. Visiting physicians, acupuncturists, chiropractors, homeopaths, naturopaths, osteopaths, and other health providers cannot make you healthy. You can receive SYMPTOMATIC relief for your condition, but treatments DO NOT make you healthy.
*For most people, illness means putting their fate in the hands of doctors and complying with their recommendations -- recommendations that typically involve taking drugs for the rest of their lives while they watch their health gradually deteriorate. People are completely unaware that most illnesses are SELF-INDUCED and can be REVERSED with aggressive nutritional methods.
*Both patients and physicians act as though everyone's medical problems are genetic, or assumed to be the normal consequence of aging. They believe that chronic illness is just what we all must expect.
Unfortunately, the medical- pharmaceutical business has encouraged people to believe that health problems are hereditary and that we need to swallow poisons to defeat our genes. This is almost always UNTRUE. We all have genetic weaknesses, but those weaknesses never get a chance to express themselves until we abuse our body with many years of mistreatment. Never forget, 99 PERCENT OF YOUR GENES ARE PROGRAMMED TO KEEP YOU HEALTHY. The problem is that we never let them do their job.
*MY CLINICAL EXPERIENCE OVER THE PAST TEN YEARS HAS SHOWN ME THAT ALMOST ALL THE MAJOR ILLNESSES THAT PLAGUE AMERICANS ARE REVERSIBLE WITH AGGRESSIVE NUTRITIONAL CHANGES DESIGNED TO UNDO THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY YEARS OF EATING A DISEASE-CAUSING DIET. The so-called balanced diet that most Americans eat CAUSES the diseases most Americans get.
*These conditions and many others can be effectively prevented or treated through superior nutrition. As their medical problems gradually melt away, patients can be slowly weaned off the medications they have been prescribed.
FOOD IS THE CURE
*Patients are told that food has nothing to do with the diseases they develop. Dermatologists insist that food has nothing to do with acne; rheumatologists insist that food has nothing to do with rheumatoid arthritis, and gastroenterologists insist that food has nothing to do with irritable and inflammatory bowel disease. Even cardiologists have been resistant to accept the accumulating evidence that atherosclerosis is entirely avoidable. Most of them still believe that coronary artery disease and angina require the invasive treatment of surgery and are not reversible with nutritional intervention. Most physicians have no experience in treating disease naturally with nutritional excellence, and some physicians who don't know about it are convinced it is not possible.
*Not only are common disorders such as asthma associated with increased body weight and our disease-causing diet, but in my experience these diseases are also curable with superior nutrition in the majority of cases. Asthma is an example of a disease considered irreversible that I watch resolve regularly.
*My patients routinely make COMPLETE and PREDICTABLE RECOVERY from these illnesses, predominantly through aggressive dietary changes. I am always delighted to meet new patients who are ready to take responsibility for their own health and well being.
*YOU CAN WATCH A NEW YOU BEING MADE BY THE WISDOM OF YOUR BODY, AND THIS NEW YOU WILL RESULT IN ALL YOUR SYSTEMS AND ORGANS, INCLUDING YOUR BRAIN, FUNCTIONING BETTER. Depression, fatigue, anxiety and allergies are also related to our improper diet. The brain and immune system are able to withstand stress better when your body is properly nourished.
*I am neither a research scientist nor a writer by profession. I AM A PRACTICING PHYSICIAN WHO SEES AT LEAST FIVE THOUSAND PATIENTS A YEAR. I work with these patients, educating them and motivating them to do more than others have asked them to do. The results I see with my patients are THRILLING. DISEASES THAT ARE CONSIDERED IRREVERSIBLE I SEE REVERSED ON A DAILY BASIS.

REVIEWS - Here are some reviews by members of the medical and scientific community:
"This is the book about achieving optimal health and weight that the scientific community has been waiting for, the 'gold standard' by which all other diets can be judged." (Jeffrey Gilbert, M.D., Medical Director, Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, N.Y.)
"Dr. Fuhrman has superbly bridged the gap between the highly technical world of science and the real world of everyday health practice. This book is both readable and reliable." (T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry, Cornell University)
"All controversy ends after you read this book. It will be the final word in diet books and the one I recommend to my patients." (Thomas Davenport, M.D., Massachusetts General Hospital, Fellow, Harvard University.)
"'Eat to Live' marks the beginning of a genuine, scientifically based health revolution." (Mark Epstein, President, National Health Association)
"As individuals and as a nation we cannot ignore this book." (Robert J. Warren, M.D., Fellow, American College of Surgery and Orthopedic Surgery)
