Ruth E. Heidrich, Ph.D. www.RuthHeidrich.com Featured in that great documentary, Forks Over Knives, Dr. Ruth Heidrich is known for being a marathon runner who was shocked when diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. After answering an ad in the paper looking for breast cancer patients to participate in a diet/cancer research study, she met Dr. John McDougall and immediately enrolled in the study which required changing to the McDougall diet. She also could not have either chemotherapy or radiation so that diet was the only variable. She went on to complete the Kona Ironman Triathlon just two years later, with cancer in complete remission and became the very first vegan and first cancer patient to ever complete an Ironman.

She went on to compete in world-wide races, winning almost 1,000 trophies including 8 gold metals in the Senior Olympics, 67 marathons including Boston, New York, and Moscow. Invited to come the the world-famous Cooper Clinic in Dallas, TX, she set 3 age-group world fitness records, one of which was breaking her own record, and has been named “One of the Ten Fittest Women in North America.” Although never intending to be an author, she was asked to write books including A Race For Life, SeniorFitness, and Lifelong Running. Known as the “other Dr. Ruth”, she has also written How to Prevent, Reverse, and Cure ED, has a recipe book, CHEF, and is working on two books, one on silicone breast implants and the other, Running ‘Round the World.

T. Colin Campbell, PhD has been dedicated to the science of human health for more than 60 years. His primary focus is on the association between diet and disease, particularly cancer. Although largely known for the China Study — one of the most comprehensive studies of health and nutrition ever conducted, and recognized by The New York Times as the “Grand Prix of epidemiology” — Dr. Campbell’s profound impact also includes extensive involvement in education, public policy, and laboratory research.

Dr. Campbell grew up on a dairy farm and was the first in his family to go to college, where he studied pre-veterinary medicine at Pennsylvania State University. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree, and while completing his first year at the University of Georgia veterinary school, he received a telegram from a well known professor at Cornell University, offering a scholarship and research opportunity too good to turn down. And so he completed his education at Cornell University (M.S., Ph.D.) and MIT (Research Associate) in nutrition, biochemistry and toxicology. He then spent 10 years on the faculty of Virginia Tech’s Department of Biochemistry and Nutrition before returning to Cornell in 1975 where he presently holds his Endowed Chair as the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry in the Division of Nutritional Sciences.

Dr. Campbell’s research experience includes both laboratory experiments and large-scale human studies. He has received over 70 grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding (mostly with NIH), served on grant review panels of multiple funding agencies, actively participated in the development of national and international nutrition policy, and authored over 300 research papers. Throughout his career, he has confronted a great deal of confusion surrounding nutrition and its effects. It is precisely this confusion that he has focused so much on, in recent years. #ColinCampbell#TheRealTruthAboutHealth#WholeFood#Vegan#Vegetarian#PlantBasedNutrition
