Michael Donaldson, Ph.D., studied biochemical engineering at Cornell University intending to enter into the biotechnology industry to develop pharmaceuticals for patients with heart disease, diabetes, and other ailments. He soon realized that drug development was not the solution to health and not the career path he wanted. Michael began reading nutritional science journals, and eventually discovered George Malkmus’ book God’s Way to Ultimate Health and The Hallelujah Diet. (This was the first book I read after my cancer diagnosis and was instrumental in my healing journey.)
Michael connected with Malkmus and became the research director for his organization Hallelujah Acres. Michael has spent the last 24 years studying the health benefits of a primarily raw plant-based diet and has published his research on the benefits of this diet for fibromyalgia, cancer, diabetes, and other ailments.
In our interview, we discuss the incredible healing power of raw food and juicing, key supplementation, the dangers of dietary dogma, and more. Enjoy!
Watch our interview below, or listen to it on the Chris Beat Cancer podcast on iTunes or Spotify.
Just as God’s Word nourishes and heals our souls, the food He provides nourishes and heals our bodies. George Malkmus embraced both of these ideas when he became a Christian in 1957, and a vegan in 1976.
From then on, he championed the pure, natural diet he has practiced and preached for more than half of his life, creating products that have helped countless people improve their own lives by adopting the biblical and scientific foundations of nutrition.
It was with Dr. Malkmus’ program I no longer tested positive for antinuclear antibodies (diagnosed as beginning stages of lupus) after 90 days of some serious carrot juicing and BarleyMax greens and have remained negative – and vegan – since 1997! Cathy C
Dean Ornish, M.D., is one of medicine’s great pioneers of the last 40 years. His work has shown that a plant-based diet and healthy lifestyle can not only reverse heart disease but also actually lengthen telomeres, perhaps slowing the aging process. Dean and his wife Anne Ornish have written a breakthrough, evidence-based book that provides a clear guide for living a longer, better life. From the team who proved that diet can reverse heart disease, they now open the aperture to show us not only the right foods to feel our best, they also reveal how social connectedness and even love are the next blockbuster drugs. Everyone from Nobel Prize-winning scientists to Beyonce endorses it. We do too.
Dean Ornish, MD: The book puts forth an important new and unifying theory. We tend to think of chronic diseases as being fundamentally different from each other. Heart disease is different than diabetes or prostate cancer or Alzheimer’s. But they’re really the same disease manifesting in different forms because they all share the same underlying biological mechanisms, things like chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, changes in the microbiome, telomeres, gene expression and so on. In turn, each one of these mechanisms is directly influenced by what we eat, how we respond to stress, how much exercise we get, and how much love and support we have. That’s what you found in the blue zones as well.
This book is the culmination of 40 years of work we’ve done showing what a powerful difference diet and lifestyle can make. Blue Zones shows what a powerful difference diet and lifestyle makes in preventing disease. The field of Lifestyle Medicine, which I helped create, actually treats and even reverses chronic disease with diet and lifestyle changes.
D Buettner: You’re investigating this new theory in your research?
D Ornish: This theory provides a more scientific basis for understanding disease and helps explain why blue zones regions and some Asian countries have had low rates of all these different chronic diseases. Yet you see that when they start to live and eat like us, the rate of these chronic diseases goes up very quickly because they’re activating those same mechanisms that we are in this country.
The radical underlying theory is that for the vast majority of chronic diseases in our 40 years of research, we didn’t find that it was one set of lifestyle changes for reversing heart disease and a different diet and lifestyle program for diabetes or prostate cancer. It was the same lifestyle changes for all of them.

From his years expertise in the grounding of hardware technology, he developed the working hypothesis on how: Grounding the human body to the Earth could normalize the functioning of all of the body’s systems. The idea about how the body utilizes the earth’s electrical potential and free electrons to maintain its internal electrical stability, normalizing all of its self-regulating and self-healing systems. Grounding has now become a massive international movement — causing people to shed their shoes and reconnect electrically to the surface of the Earth.

A study examining the diets of more than 600,000 people and COVID-19 is examined when Dr. Andrew Chan joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast.
Topics Discussed
– Immune response of someone eating standard diet vs. plant-based diet
– Why a plant-based diet could reduce severity of infection
– Inflammatory responses to food and fighting infection
– Best foods for strongest immune response
Dr. Chan is co-author of the peer-reviewed study and is a professor of immunology and infectious diseases at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
— About Us The Physicians Committee is dedicated to saving lives through plant-based diets and ethical and effective scientific research. We combine the clout and expertise of more than 12,000 physicians with the dedicated actions of more than 175,000 members across the United States and around the world.
Hi Friends! The China study is a book by T. Colin Campbell and his son, Thomas M. Campbell II. The book argues for health benefits of a whole food plant-based diet. The China Study examines the link between the consumption of animal products (including dairy) and chronic illnesses such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and bowel cancer. The book is “loosely based” on the China–Cornell–Oxford Project, a 20-year study which looked at mortality rates from cancer and other chronic diseases from 1973 to 1975 in 65 counties in China, and correlated this data with 1983–84 dietary surveys and blood work from 100 people in each county. The authors conclude that people who eat a predominantly whole-food, vegan diet—avoiding animal products as a source of nutrition, including beef, pork, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, and milk, and reducing their intake of processed foods and refined carbohydrates—will escape, reduce, or reverse the development of numerous diseases. They write that “eating foods that contain any cholesterol above 0 mg is unhealthy.” The book recommends sunshine exposure or dietary supplements to maintain adequate levels of vitamin D, and supplements of vitamin B12 in case of complete avoidance of animal products. It criticizes low-carb diets, such as the Atkins diet, which include restrictions on the percentage of calories derived from carbohydrates[8] The authors are critical of reductionist approaches to the study of nutrition, whereby certain nutrients are blamed for disease, as opposed to studying patterns of nutrition and the interactions between nutrients. I give my honest review of the book, what i agree and disagree on. Enjoy and leave your comments below!
