Description
The failure of modern medicine to address chronic disease is a national scandal. Numbers are continually manipulated to make us feel like we are winning the war on cancer and beating diabetes. Billions are being spent on reductionist research and treating the symptoms. The reality is we are not making progress with conventional treatments. And people are suffering and dying needlessly by the millions.
Plant-based nutrition is the most powerful medical intervention we have available today. No other method offered by modern medicine has such a broad and profound effect.
This course teaches the fundamentals of reversing disease with a whole-food, plant-based diet from the leading expert, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. Topics covered include the Calories, Obesity, and Diabetes, The Pleasure Trap, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Diet and Cancer, Chronic Diseases, and Principles of Nutritional Health. This course introduces the power of an optimal diet to reverse disease.
