I was in a wheelchair with arthritis when I found [McDougall’s] starch-based eating lifestyle. I gave up dairy totally, began going vegan and within 3 weeks, I was able to walk. I had arthritis in my fingers so much so, typing was difficult. My hands are now useful again.

My husband would not follow my lead into being vegan even though he saw how much I thrived. The last year he worked while getting ready for retirement, he was having trouble with having to urinate frequently at night. He went to a urologist at Kaiser Permanente and was diagnosed with prostate cancer and it was stage 4! He had robotic-aided surgery and it was successful. It was terrible pain for him. I insisted he now try the food I was cooking for myself, it really does taste good and now there are two vegans who live more happily than ever before as we feel so well now all the time.

My oldest and our youngest son, won’t talk to their vegan parents — they’re so in love with MEAT. Fortunately, our middle son is a great man who has twin boys, with his sweet wife or my heart would just break. Believe me, I know about coping with rejection and sadness but you really do not get used to it.

My mother and sister both died of breast cancer. I nursed our 3 boys and even though I was eating like every other fool in this country, the cancer did not come my way. I think God knew I had enough on my plate with the hyperhidrosis and am most thankful for that.

I would have given anything to have been raised vegetarian! But I am now. My husband Jim may not have even been alive either if he hadn’t changed his diet. Three other men where he worked had prostate cancer who retired about the same time as my husband. They chose chemo and radiation with no change of diet. All were dead within 6 months. My husband does get tested annually for PSA and has not had one bad test. I take no meds and Jim is slowly weaning off his blood pressure pill.
