I am Not a Medical Professional
I hope that in reading my blog you’ll understand that I am not a medical professional. I am not a doctor or a nurse or a dietician or a nutritionist. What I will share with you should not be taken as always true. I am only human and I can be misled at times. I don’t want to mislead you. I urge each and every person to do their research. Don’t rely on some blogger or YouTuber. Do your own research.
What I do recommend is that when you do your research you are using information provided from medical doctors. I prefer to use doctors who are advocates of the whole-food plant-based way of eating. The average medical doctor has very little education in the field of nutrition. Most doctors won’t recommend a certain way of eating to address the cause of a disease or condition. Often, they feel that a diet that eliminates animal products is one that you won’t stick to. So even if they do know the advantages of a whole-food plant-based diet they won’t recommend it.
As with any subject there is a lot of faulty information out there on the internet. And if that faulty information doesn’t get you, the well-meaning but faulty advice of a friend might. So, whether what you believe to be true comes from the internet or from a friend, please do your own research.
Some of the doctors I’ve found that have researched, practice, and give advice on whole-food plant-based eating are: Dean Ornish, John McDougall, Michael Greger, Caldwell Esselstyn, T. Colin Campbell, Neal Barnard. Their books, websites, and YouTube videos hold a wealth of information. These are just a few of the many doctors who have come to realize that WFPB is not only a way of eating but a cure for many diseases and conditions.
