Coronary artery disease is virtually non-existent in cultures which thrive on plant-based nutrition. Similarly, patients with coronary artery disease who transition totally to plant-based foods may halt and selectively reverse their disease!

In 1956, he received a gold medal in rowing at the Olympic Games. In 1968, as an Army surgeon in Vietnam, he was awarded the Bronze Star.
