Graham about Cousens, was: Preventing and Reversing Heart Disease

Thanks for the link Mark. There are so many ads loading so fast on the site with

Dr. Graham's comments, that with a slow dialup link it took about 10 minutes to

get some text to display on that page, and I had to retry several times because

the page stalled. Likely others are having the same problem.

Here is the text that was posted at

Dr. Cousens often talks about eating low fat, and says he recommends it,

sometimes even mentioning 20% of calories as his target. I spoke with the head

chef at his retreat, however, and he said that they serve 70% of calories from

fat, on average. Something is amiss. IF you read GC's books, you will easily see

what the problem is. Without fat, there are almost no calories in the Cousen's

approach. This might work well for short term healing in an acute condition, or

even a chronic one, but it is not an approach that one can use long term,

without turning to fat as fuel.

On another side, Dr. Cousens readily admits that the food on his program is

nutritionally lacking. He does so by recommending massive quantities of

nutritional supplements to ALL of his followers.

I hope you can see the dangers in both of these situations.

May your day be filled with clarity, grace, strength, progress, and warm
