The following are Jeff Nelson’s words from the comment section linked below:
“He [McDougall] also had a devastating stroke when he was 19 which left him with some permanent paralysis, made it very hard for him to exercise. He also had two significant falls, the second one he fell down a flight of stairs in a house he was leasing and nearly died. Broke bones, went into kidney failure, had internal bleeding. He was never able to fully recover, due I expect to the weakness he experienced all his life on one side, and I think it led to his frailty, though mentally he was solid. I don’t believe he made any diet mistakes. But he played the hand he was dealt beautifully, and had a huge positive impact on humanity, is my take.“
