Real People, Real Stories

Both the book and the film present 36 stories of disease reversal by converting to a whole-food, plant-based diet. While every story is different, the result of this healthy lifestyle is always the same – a person feels healthier and more energetic, and the disease is frequently reversed, in whole or in part. Many people find they can stop all medications under the guidance of their physician, and some report that disease markers are no longer detectable in their body.
