For more than 40 years, Dr. T. Colin Campbell has been at the forefront of nutrition research. His legacy, the China Study, is the most comprehensive study of health and nutrition ever conducted. Dr. Campbell is Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University. He has received more than seventy grant-years of peer-reviewed research funding and authored more than 300 research papers. The China Study was the culmination of a twenty-year partnership with Cornell University, Oxford University and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. For an overview of the study, click on the link above to see a 40 minute video of his presentation summarizing his research. This presentation is aimed at everyday people and is very thought provoking – especially as it relates to prevention of cancer and how we can turn on and off the growth rate of existing cancers we may not even know we have and those we do know we have.

As T. Colin Campbell (The China Study) writes of Dr. Esselstyn’s work: “Aware that medical, angiographic and surgical interventions were treating only the symptoms of heart disease and believing that a fundamentally different approach to treatment was necessary, Dr. Esselstyn decided to test the effects of a whole foods, plant-based diet on people with established coronary disease. By using a minimal amount of cholesterol-lowering medication and a very lot-fat, plant-based diet, he has gotten the most spectacular results ever recorded in the treatment of heart disease. Dr. Esselstyn counsels people who are interested in annihilating heart disease. Dr. Esselstyn, a world-renowned surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. This center is one of the best medical centers for cardiac care – patients fly in from all over the world for the most advanced heart surgery available. Dr. Esselstyn is a Yale graduate, Olympic gold medal winner, trained at the Cleveland Clinic, decorated with a Bronze Star as an army surgeon in the Vietnam War, and at the Cleveland Clinic, he was president of the staff, a member of the Board of Governors, chairman of the Breast Cancer Task Force and head of the Section of Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery. He has published over 100 scientific papers and was named one of the best doctors in America. Dr. Esselstyn is known for his principled search for the truth, and he writes: “Eleven years in my career as a surgeon, I became disillusioned with the treatment paradigm of US medicine in cancer and heart disease. Little had changed in 100 years in the management of cancer, and in neither heart disease nor cancer was there a serious effort at prevention. I found the epidemiology of these diseases provocative however: Three-quarters of the humans on this planet had no heart disease, a fact strongly associated with diet.”
| | The Pleasure Trap - Mastering the Hidden Force that Undermines Health & Happiness
Doug Lisle, PhD and Alan Goldhamer, DC
A wake up call to even the most health conscious people. This book boldly challenges conventional wisdom about sickness and unhappiness in todya's contemproary culture and offers ground-breaking solutions for achieving change. The authors provide a fascinating new perspective on how modern life can turn so many smart, savvy people into the unwitting saboteurs of their own well-being.
In this fascinating book, the authors construct a new paradigm for the psychology of health, offering fresh hope for anyone stuck in a self-destructive rut. Integrating principles of evolutionary biology with trail-blazing, proactive strategies for wellness, they argue that peopl who are chronically overweight, sick and ailing, or junk food junkies aren't that way because they're lazy, undisciplined, or stuck with bad genes. Most of us are victims of a dilemma that harkens back to our prehistoric past - "the Pleasure Trap."
Drs. Lisle and Goldhamer provide you with solutions for the challenges of keeping on a healthful course, how to deal with the pressures of friends and family members, and how to make the most of your life.
