Disease Proof

In case you couldn’t make it. Here’s a bird’s eye view—and by bird’s eye I mean my eye view—of yesterday’s Eat for Health Seminar at the Beaver Brook Country Club in Annandale, New Jersey. Let’s sign in and grab a packet…

Wait, before we check out the presentations, make sure you stock up on any Dr. Fuhrman goodies, books, and vitamins you might need…

Now that your hands are full, Earl—who is also DrFuhrman.com’s friendly tech-support—will be happy to check you out…

Okay, we’re all set, time to—oh, hello. Nice to meet you David! Yup, I’m the blog guy. I’m glad you enjoy it. Thanks for reading! Hey, what are you reading…

I know the new Food Scoring Guide is very cool. Nice meeting you David—okay, time for the presentations, but first, let me grab something to eat…

Wow! Looks like a heard of ravenous nutritarians stampeded through all the grub. No worries, I didn’t come here to eat. Okay, presentation time—hey, how are you…

Thanks for reading Susan! You lost 42 pounds so far? That’s great! Yes, definitely email me about Operation Banana Hunt. See you later—now let me find a seat…

Wow! Talk about a packed house. Here looks good. First up, Dr. Fuhrman’s colleague Jennifer Petrillo, MD is getting ready to give us a research update…

Thanks Dr. Petrillo, lots of great information. Okay, Dr. Fuhrman’s taking the stage, but first, check out my fellow employee Kurt working the camera…

Trust me, he’s not sleeping. He’s just resting his eyes. Now, without any further ado, here’s Dr. Fuhrman talking about his approach to health and nutrition…

Dr. Fuhrman was also joined by a few friends. Here’s Kevin Leville discussing Eat Right America…

Now, nutritarian Beth takes the stage to share her story…

To close the show, Lisa Fuhrman talks about just how easy it is to be a nutritarian…

The day also included some fun and games. Here Dr. Fuhrman staffers Janice and Susan raffle off some prime swag…

Nope, I didn’t win, but then again, when you're a nutritarian, you win everyday. Quick! Let’s head over and get an autograph from Dr. Fuhrman—wait! First, check this out…

I thought that was a nice picture of new nutritarian Billy, leafing through Dr. Fuhrman’s book. Now, back to those autographs…

That was fun! Its great to see so many people taking control of their health. Okay, time to head home—hi there. Wow! All three of you are becoming nutritarians? Cool. Let me get a picture…

Nice meeting you Paloma, Annette, and Marieli! Thanks again for reading the blog, good luck being nutritarians—alright, an exciting day has officially come to an end. I’m out of here. Thanks to everyone who came out! Peace.

Over at DrFuhrman.com there is a holiday special going on now: if you buy three copies of Eat to Live or Disease-Proof Your Child, you will get a fourth copy free.

And for those who are members of DrFuhrman.com, there is also a similar discount on Pop'Ems: Buy three, get one free.

(What's a Pop'Em? Here's what Dr. Furhman says: "They are made by finely grinding the raw nuts and seeds into a powder and then kneading the smoothly ground nuts with fresh dates. The cinnamon flavor has some raw carob and cinnamon mixed in, while the chocolate flavor features all natural cocoa powder that is packed full of antioxidants. My active family cruises through over a pound a day and I am reassured that my children are consuming the healthy fats and protein they need on a plant-centered diet." If you want to make your own, here's a recipe for the original Date Nut Pop'Ems.)

The Health Care Blog (which was recently praised by the Wall Street Journal) is asking readers to come up with a solution to the American health care crisis in 250 words or less. Of course, I can't help thinking that nutrition is the key. Imagine if the majority of diabetics were treated like this. How much would that alone chop off the national medical bill? (Then factor in asthma, ear infections, cancer, heart disease... go down the left side of this page... all these expensive conditions.)

There are some specific rules you should read before you start writing. Anyone can enter and the winner gets to be a guest on a radio show to talk about their ideas.

Dr. Fuhrman will be speaking at Borders in Flemington, New Jersey (map and directions) on Wednesday from 7-8 p.m. He will be talking about his new book, Disease-Proof Your Child, so this is an event that would be especially helpful for parents.

To get a little sample of what the book is like, peruse these "Success Story" posts--many of which are excerpted from Disease-Proof Your Child.
