body was fairly toned and thin, but inwardly she was aging at an accelerated rate, as told by her shallow, uneven skin and constant struggle to get through the day.
    As a personal trainer and gym rat, she was led to believe that she had to constantly consume animal protein—chicken breast, egg white, tuna, whey protein, etc.—in order to maintain her muscle tone and get the most out of her workouts. But she never learned how acidic this type of diet made her body. We started transitioning her diet to incorporate more easily assimilated sources of plant protein, such as hemp protein and high-protein algae (chlorella) tablets, after her workouts and started cutting back on the amount of acidic animal products she consumed. We started with small steps, and she quickly saw her energy increase and her skin improve.
    Today Barbara still eats some animal protein—she loves fish, eggs and some chicken—but she eats nowhere near the amount of these foods that she used to eat. She also shifted to eating those foods later on in the day. Ironically, her body became even more toned as old acidic waste was eliminated and oxygen was able to circulate to her muscles more as there was now less pressure on her veins and arteries from gas created by fermentation. Her energy is now so high that she lasts all the way into the night without any caffeine, and her skin has drastically improved, achieving a healthy glow. Her blond hair now has a healthy sheen, as opposed to the brittleness it once had, and the circles under her eyes have greatly reduced. She looks years younger. And yes, she is now going to the bathroom regularly! Best of all, she is smiling and laughing again, and she feels much younger, lighter and happier.

    After just three weeks on the plant-based diet, the type 1 diabetic patients were able to lower their insulin medication by an average of 40 percent. Blood sugar profiles greatly improved, and their cholesterol levels dropped by 30 percent. 27 Of the twenty-five patients with type 2 diabetes, twenty-four were able to discontinue their insulin medication! 28 That means only one out of twenty-five type 2 diabetics in the study had to stay on insulin medication as a result of switching to a plant-based, high-fiber and low-fat diet for only three weeks!
    A group of research scientists at the Pritikin Center also studied the effects of a plant-based diet low in fat, along with exercise, on diabetic patients. Of the forty patients that were all on medication at the start of the program, thirty-four were able to discontinue all medication after only twenty-six days. 29

    The Grand World War Experiments
    Not all studies into the benefits of a plant-based diet take place in a lab. Some come directly from history.
    During World War I, Denmark was cut off from all imports, including food, by the allied blockade. Dr. Mikkel Hindhede was appointed by the Danish government to develop a program for the country to avoid the crisis of a major food shortage. Dr. Hindhede stopped feeding the country’s grain to livestock and instead fed it directly to the people to conserve the food supply. It was pretty much a national experiment in vegetarianism, involving the three million citizens of Denmark. Dr. Hindhede later reported his findings in the Journal of the American Medical Association ( JAMA ). 30
    The results were incredible. During the period when the food restrictions were the most severe, which was from October 1917 to October 1918, the death rate in Copenhagen from disease was by far the lowest in recorded history. In fact, it decreased over 34 percent when compared to figures for the preceding eighteen years! 31
    During World War II Norway was occupied by Germany, and Norway had to sharply reduce and often eliminate the meat distribution to its people. Once again, amazing improvements in health occurred. The death rate from circulatory disease dropped dramatically. When the war ended and the Norwegian citizens
