    Yes, avalonwitch, you did miss something. He was not a vegan or vegetarian before the operation. She just said that to the dietitian to hear what the response would be and what they would change on his diet. This is very inspirational……

    Awesome. The whole ‘sick care vs. health care’ was eye opening. I’m a nutrition student, but enjoy learning about the more holistic approach to health- I can’t wait to be able to offer knowledge about veganism and the benefits…what a great story!

    I will not boycott Whole Foods. I agree that what we need is not government intervention but personal responsibility. Only a mindless drone would follow anything that the government promotes. The problem is not now, nor has it ever been a lack of insurance.

    wars kill people,hospitals kill people,cars kill people, food kills people,smoking kills people,alcohol kills people,all given to you and controlled by the governments, many will never get to grips with the facts that the governments act like farmers ,and the people the sheep, the government are not your friends,so why do you people rely on the doctors who have no knowledge and no love.

    thats so true in hospitals they dont have a diet healing program meat salt sugar and fat friture should allways be avoid during the convalescence,it is actualy a scandal cozz the people are paying to get healed and finaly die cozz of diet..but most of people dont know about it. even doctors dont care.

    We had the exact same experience when visiting my father-in-law in the hospital after a bowel resection for diverticulitis. He is also type II diabetic and has heart problems. Aside from literally starving him for almost 7 days, the first solid thing he was given was aspirin, his first meal was Hungarian goulash! OMG, and we wonder why this country is so unhealthy????

    I have a question–if your father was already a vegan, **how on earth did he come to require a quadruple bypass**??? Yes, I agree that hospital food is poison, but if his diet was so healthy before he almost lost his life, that does not compute. So you put him back on a vegan diet and you had him add some exercise. I’m missing something here.

    I talked with an old Iranian guy this week after his quadruple bypass. He was riding his bike at night on a 75-mile mountain ride, preparing for a 750-mile race. He looked quite healthy. Obviously no Swedish meatballs in his diet.

    BRAVO Dina. You should send this video to Dr. John McDougall and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., they would both be so very proud of you.

    I have to shake my head and I am in total agreement about hospital food. It’s a crying shame this diet is fed to anyone, never mind those in critical cardiac care. The sad reality as well, is Senior Homes… they continue to provide at least two meat dishes per day, not no mention cakes, cookies, dairy, cheese, etc.
    Thanks for posting!

    The American economy is based on the Military Industrial Complex and the Medical Industrial Complex.

    That’s why peace and health are shunned by the powers that be. They make no profit if you are peaceful and healthy.

    There are cartoons from the 40s and 50s on Youtube that were obviously posted after the fact…. Could that not be the case here? All forms of video media can be converted into forms that can be used on here.
