You can regain your health and take control of your life. All the good things that you associate with health – enhanced appearance, optimal weight, great vitality, restoration of normal function, positive moods, and a deep feeling of well-being – can be yours. And you can accomplish these wondrous goals using the simplest method imaginable – eating the wholesome, fresh foods that our Creator intended.
I have been practicing medicine – for more than 33 years and I have treated virtually every type of chronic illness common to Westerners (people living in developed nations, like the USA, Europe and much of the rest of the world). In my efforts to help people restore their health, I have employed almost every type of medical treatment and test available. In other words, I've had a lot of experience. I can tell you that in all my years in medicine, I have seen only one form of treatment work consistently and, very often, even miraculously. This approach has been effective even when all other medical therapies have failed. I have had patients whom doctors had given up on, who were told that there were no more drugs and no more operations left that might save them. Yet, many of them later restored their health using this singular approach to healing that I now use with all my patients.
In short, the McDougall Program consists of the following:
- A diet of plant foods, including whole grains and whole grain products (such as pasta, tortillas, and whole-grain bread), a wide assortment of vegetables, and fruit
- Plenty of spices and usually small amounts of sugar and salt to enhance the flavor of food
- Exercise as simple as a daily walk
- The exclusion of animal foods, including red meat, poultry, dairy products, eggs, and fish – all of which provide toxic levels of fat, cholesterol, protein and, very often, infectious agents and harmful chemicals
- The exclusion of ALL oils, including olive oil, safflower oil and corn oil. Oils, which are nothing more than liquid fat, increase body fat stores (obesity), depress immune function, and contribute to most common chronic diseases
By making these profound changes, you will experience an almost immediate improvement in your health. And, while I know it sounds difficult at first, taken step by step and over the course of just 12 days, it will become a way of life that is so natural and so simple, you won't believe how easy it is. Most people feel such a profound difference in their health that they wouldn't think about doing anything differently.
In this special introduction to the McDougall Program, I am going to describe in detail how you can put this powerful healing approach to work for you – in just twelve days. This is the same 12-day program that I used with my patients at St. Helena Hospital and Health Center in the Napa Valley California for 16 years (1986 to 2002) and currently use at my resort-based 10-day residential clinic in Santa Rosa, California. You'll find that you can do everything at home that my live-in patients do in order to lose weight and regain lost health. Understanding my program isn't difficult. However, many of you will need medical support from your doctor. The biggest obstacle is getting started.
