When I changed to plant-baeed, 80-10-10, I recovered from a disease not listed by Dr. Campbell, that is, the disease of multi-joint (2 knees, 2 hips, confirmed by x-ray) osteoarhtritis.  I was barely able to walk and needed all those joints replaced.  Without any joint replacements, now I have no pain on ambulation and walk most of the day with no ill effects--this change started from reading Dr. Campbell's first book, The China Study!  I idolize the man and feel a great deal of sadness about all the pain I endured all the years of omst of my life.

My grandma is vegan for a 40 years by now. She is 84 and she has never ever had any health problems. She doesn't even wear glasses. She's more active and vigorous than most of my friends (and I'm 21).

It's an amazing thing how we can use our diet to maintain a healthy and happy lifestyle. Good luck to all of you!
And greetings from Poland :)

I am SO GRATEFUL to Drs. Cambell, Esselstyn, Barnard, Mcdougall, Fuhrman, Campbell, Klapper, Goldhammer, et. al., (and anyone else I failed to mention) for all of your work, HONESTY, willingness to stick your neck out and share the truth with the world. You have all changed my life for the better.

[PaulG]

Campbell you are an inspiration and a leader, your research changed my life ... I salute you...

[susanb]

I've said this before and I will say it again, I could listen to this man all day long!

[riccipriani]

this man should be awarded a Nobel prize and this form of nutrition should be taught in schools

[jenns]

YOU are my hero, Dr. Campbell. I can never thank you enough for putting TRUTH out there.

[tiborkokeny]

Like a symphony. Thank you Dr. Campbell!

[sallybowles]

The China Study was one of the first books I read about nutrition, many years ago, thank you doctor (s) Campbell

[jane]

thank you thank you dr. campbell for all of your work! brilliant man whose research is life changing, world changing in fact.

[hassanalshehri]

I really do respect this man, because of him I have became a vegan for a month now and I'm feeling that I was just born a month ago, can't thank him enough

[arakitamamoo]

I lost 15 Kg over about 6 months having all-plant-based-food . My BMI changed
from 24 to 19.1 and I had my high pressure blood almost gone (thanks to the new
standard, it's near the potential range). I now expect I can live up to my 90s.
All thanks to Dr T. Colin Campbell.

[edina]

I'm 20 and have been eating plant based and vegan for 4 years, these are facts no one can argue with!

[LeadershipAlliance]

One of the nicest fellows I've met, Colin is a prince and a sage. Wonderful to have access to his life-changing wisdom via this talk!

[heyfkldsm]

I absolutely adore Dr. Campbell! He's a revolutionary in the field of nutrition and science!

[Artilectual]

I believe Mr Campbell is expressing his ideal diet as a whole food plant based diet. Not vegan nessasarly. There are a lot of vegans that eat unhealthy. His diet has been a blessing to me and my family. I owe him a debt of gratitude for his hard work researching for countless hours. I believe him because it works. He's the most knowledgeable about the subject at hand, and his opinion should merit respect and consideration. Enjoy whatever diet you choose, don't try to distort the work he's done

[grantwhite]

I would like to first apologize to Dr. Campbell, for the simple fact that I nearly skipped over this video based entirely on the title. Thinking that this was just a lecture based on an opinion on improving the healthcare system, I was pleasantly surprised to see a healthy, elderly man sharing his facts about how the right diet can improve my own health significantly. A healthcare system that currently does not stress or display these facts enough, does not allow the communities to know the health benefits proper nutrition can provide. For instance, Dr. Campbell's statement about how eating whole plant-based foods can help prevent and cure diseases, was astounding to me. His intent of showing his audience the benefits of changing their diets to more nutritional ones, definitely shows beneficence. By encouraging a diet that shows significant results in treating illnesses, Dr. Campbell makes a strong case for me to make the switch.

[charlesgreen]

I read The China Study on a long trip to Japan, could not put it down. Dr. Campbel has produced a wonderful work here, since the release many years ago much has been discovered both for and against his work. We now look at nutrition as a network for good health it is and focus on wellness we know much more about how to put this together... Epigenetics ?

[sdushdiu]

T. Colin Campbell is an absolute treasure!
