            I've often received calls from people who have been diagnosed with various diseases and whose nutritionists (RDs) have recommended that they control the amount of simple sugars and refined carbohydrates while increasing protein and fiber (if they have diabetes), or reduce calories (for weight loss), reduce salt intake (to lower high blood pressure), and decrease dietary fat (to manage dietary cholesterol for heart disease).  They want to know if I can prepare meals to fit their nutritionist's recommendation.  Well, I totally agree with what Haas says in his introduction to Staying Healthy with Nutrition. 

Haas states that there is more to being a nutritionist than to just control the diseases.  Unfortunately, doctors and dietitians haven't taken the time to study and incorporate vegetarianism and fasting therapy.  They are of the mindset that if there haven't been studies or accepted in the medical community for at least a decade, then it must be a fad. 

    My husband Pete and I faced a similar dilemma after his heart attack, which led me to the creation of raw, vegan foods.  After several years of being vegan, Pete is off all of his "meds."
