According to Dr. McDougall, constipation, hemorrhoids, ulcers, IBS, and colitis are a few of the chronic digestive disorders that can be prevented and cured by eating a low-fat, cholesterol-free, plant-based diet. The reasons for this become apparent through a series of "office visits" by two fictitious, middle-aged patients who seek medical intervention in order to regain their health.
Through these "visits" readers learn:
how their digestive system works
to identify the root causes of intestinal discomfort
why "friendly" bacteria are necessary for overall health
how to take control of the healing process
how to avoid surgical procedures & expensive medications
This book covers topics that are often taboo in common
conversation with a candid, often humorous look. Easy to understand, the information covered will enable everyone to
make more informed medical decisions and wiser dietary choices.
