"I gave my parents the video a few weeks ago and after watching it they started the RAVE diet immediately. My father has had numerous bypass surgeries (along with numerous other health related surgeries) and unfortunately must have the lower half of his leg amputated due to the artificial arteries becoming clogged (again) and no circulation occurring. After many years of him being on cholesterol lowering medication with no results, his cholesterol dropped 90 points in 3 weeks after starting the diet! In addition, he had a kidney transplant 10 years ago and his creatin levels have always been high. Since starting the diet they too have dropped. His doctors were shocked and told him to just keep doing what he's doing!" - Christine Chiudina

"In just a few months, I lost 32 pounds, my medications were cut in half and my blood sugars, blood pressure and cholesterol have all dropped dramatically. I am now no longer on insulin!" - Sirmirrion English (former adult-onset diabetic)

"When I was 11 years old, I was diagnosed with cholesterol of 550. I have been to many different doctors in 15 different states and tried every kind of cholesterol lowering medication, but nothing worked. After following a partial RAVE Diet, my cholesterol dropped to 400 points in just a few months. That was the lowest it had ever been in my life - and without any medication. After transitioning to the full RAVE Diet, my cholesterol dropped to 225 and is still going down. I am amazed! My doctors are clueless!" - Emily Burke

"After a needle biopsy was performed in February 2008 on a ping pong ball-sized tumor on my thyroid gland, (she stuck me 6 times!) my endocrinologist told me it contained "bad cells." My physician then told me that the tumor was "full of malignant cells" and was frightfully large. I was devastated. But I decided to get a third opinion. It was the same. I then viewed your extremely powerful "Healing Cancer" film, purchased a copy of your book and started the diet. After only THREE DAYS!! of following the RAVE diet guidelines, the Achilles tendonitis I had for FIFTEEN YEARS STRAIGHT in both ankles, along with the arthritis in my left knee, my 4th and 5th lumbar, and my left shoulder which I'd had for TEN YEARS... DISAPPEARED...unexpectedly!! I was only trying to get rid of the cancer. After two weeks, my heart palpitations ceased and the numerous, violent hot flashes were reduced to one relatively mild episode after a shower. I also started sleeping through the night. (I have sleep apnea and use a breathing machine.) Additionally, I lost 27 real pounds in 30 days. (My family and friends thought it was from the cancer, but my skin became radiant.) When the tumor was finally removed there were no more "bad cells", no more "malignant cells", no more cancer--and I still have my thyroid gland and thus on no drugs or hormones that mimic its function. THANK YOU for sharing all your research!! I am in the process of "paying it forward." THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!" - Pamela Brady

"My husband and I have been following the RAVE guidelines for 1 month. He has lost 19 lbs, I have lost 12 and my gastro-intestinal issues have completely subsided. Also, I was just talking to the co- worker who pushed me to visit your web site and get the book. She showed me the 3 new notches in her belt. She has dropped from 164 to 144 lbs! The RAVE diet is giving me back my health and giving me more quality time with my daughter and husband. I had focused on quick and easy eating solutions and completely missed out on the natural bonding opportunity of cooking, baking and creating." - Cindy-Anne Belanger

"I am 63 and began the RAVE diet four weeks ago. My chronic low back pain is gone, the eczema on one of my fingers is gone, the receding in my nail beds is gone, and my fingers no longer peel. My doctor recommended the diet because I have arthritis and atherosclerosis. What a huge paradigm shift to be in this eating culture. Thanks for your work. It's so awesome." - Kate Stromberg

"For years, I have had abnormal pap smears. My gynecologist said I would have to have surgery if this pre-cancerous condition persisted. Since starting the RAVE Diet, these cells have disappeared, and now my paps are completely normal. I have nothing else to attribute this to except the diet." - Rosemary Byrne, R.N.

"I'm writing to thank you for changing our lives and for possibly saving mine! My mother died of cancer, my father has had several heart attacks, two of my cousins died of cancer, one of my old classmates died of heart disease and it seems like half the guys I work with are on cholesterol-lowering drugs. I look to be pretty fit, but my cholesterol was 235 at my last physical. If you can believe those little over-the-counter pinprick tests, it dropped a hundred points in a month." - Frank Rodrick

   "My husband is 59 years old and had a massive heart attack 3 years ago, quad bypass, 3 stents, defibrillator, diabetic (adult onset), horrid shingles, high blood pressure and before RAVE 205 pounds. Today, just 2 short months later, he is 180 pounds, off Metformin completely for his diabetes, off cholesterol medication and feeling better than when he was 35! One truly amazing thing is that he has not had one shingles outbreak since starting RAVE. For that alone he will be forever grateful for your research and putting it all in human terms!
   "Before starting RAVE I was on Atkins for about 8 months. I lost weight and felt OK but after hearing your info on the diet I decided it was time to stop and try it your way. I told my husband that I would do it for 2 weeks but if I started to gain weight I would have to rethink what to do. Well..I have lost another 6 pounds and I feel so great I can hardly believe its me! Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart!! We consider you a great blessing from the Lord." - Susan Hoffmann

"I'm a 53 years old man recovering from a stroke (9 years ago) with a history of high blood pressure. Since reading your book and watching the DVD I've lost 50 pounds and reduced my blood pressure from 200/100 to 125/75 in about 6 months without any medication." - Kenneth Fay

"My acne (a twenty year problem) went away once I started following the diet!" - Donna Leone

"I have had a problem with compulsive overeating for as long as I can remember. Always looking for that one diet that will take care of my problem and all the while just gaining more weight and feeling frustrated. I have been praying for an answer to this terrible pattern I have been in. Since I read your book/watched the DVD, I have found calmness and peace with food. I love the variety and awesome healthy tasting food I have now discovered." - Julie Latz

"Since I adopted the RAVE Diet just six months ago, it has caused the greatest percentage drop in my PSA level ever. My PSA is now 0.2 and it has never been this low." - Jerry Kutcher

    "I recently discovered the RAVE Diet. I have been plagued with a condition called folliculitis for about a year now, which manifests itself in bumps, abscesses, and irritated areas in the groin and armpits. I was told by the medical community that this condition could not be treated with antibiotics which would not only be ineffective, but could result in my developing antibiotic tolerance. I was given some high-dollar topical salve to apply at outbreak, told to wash three times a day, and made to believe that I had to live with this condition.
   "I have also had, for about 3 years, sore and painful knee joints and plantar fasciitis to die for; so bad that I had resigned myself to giving up tennis because I felt that my body would no longer tolerate the stresses of the impact of the hard courts on my feet and knees.
   "After about 7 days on the RAVE Diet, I began to notice that the areas of my groin that were involved with bumps and irritation began to recede and heal. Not just one particular area as had happened in the past. ALL of the involved areas began to recede and become less irritated AT THE SAME TIME! Simultaneously, I began to notice that after Spin and Hi-Low Impact class, my knees did not ache and feel 'soft' like they had been doing for years!
   "After one month on the RAVE Diet all traces of the infection folliculitis is gone. The infected areas have healed and there is no evidence of new outbreak. Also, I have returned to playing tennis for the first time in a year. I not only experienced absolutely no knee and joint pain, I am no longer going through the time- consuming ritual of wrapping my knees as I have had to for a very long time now. I have also lost about 18 lbs. and I feel better, I sleep better, and I recover from workouts better and faster that I ever have." - Denise Ray

"As a medical doctor, I have to say that your book and DVD are simply amazing!" - Connie Godenick, M.D.

"I never thought I would see it happen. At last, a respected medical group has the guts to authenticate what those of us involved in nutrition have been trying to promote for so long." - Dan E. Chesnut, M.D.

"The first part of the book is an excellent summary of the detrimental consequences (heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc) of our typical eating patterns and the dangerous fad diets that abound today. The second part provides the details of the Rave Diet. With amazing simplicity and a few changes in our lifestyle we can obtain optimal health and even reverse disease. The book is very easy reading and well grounded in scientific research. It is one of the most influential books I have read in my lifetime." - Phil Kaplan

"Both the film and the book are nothing short of life-changing. I'd already heard most of the information you give in the book and film, but never all in one place and never explained with such lucidity and easy-to-follow guidelines. You have a real knack for putting it all together in a way that convinces and motivates people." - David Graham

"I love your book! It's as classy and interesting and enjoyable as the film! I am already within 7 pounds of my weight goal and I'm not counting portions, calories or anything else. Thank you!" - Chris Bekart

   "What a 'Wake Up' call! This book/DVD set is much more than an informative diet for health conscious people. It is truly a compelling, insightful, common sense approach to addressing the maladies and ailments that so many people suffer from today. This honest look at the faults of the (historic...hysteric?) standard American diet will definitely get your attention. The 'Eating' DVD is a powerful statement against the way that most of us think about the food we eat. How can a society be so dumb about what we are doing to our bodies? I exercise and try to watch my weight, but I have really been missing the 'big picture'. This program puts it into proper perspective. Check it out! The answer is simple and has been right in front of us forever--history and facts are difficult to ignore. I think this program takes up where Dean Ornish left off.
   "If you are tired of the 'band aid' approach to symptoms, leery about taking more medication, concerned about what is actually going into your body, and don't understand why medical research or the government can't seem to come up with solutions: then you need to view this film, read the book and take control of your future. Thank you Mike Anderson for opening my eyes--I think I get it now! " - Jill Lewis

"I can't say enough good things about this book and DVD! It's opened my eyes and makes so much common sense. The name may sound like a fad but it is the opposite of a fad diet. Plus it works!!! I'm losing weight, feel great and now have the knowledge that gives me the power to never go back to my unhealthy eating lifestyle." - Monica Ames

"Rivet yourself to your chair and watch Eating, a mind-blowing video experience that will forever change the way you think about food."
 - Joel Fuhrman, M.D., author of Eat To Live

"Eating is a brilliant program. It provides an easy and engaging path to health through good food. I highly recommend it."
 - Neal Barnard, M.D., author of Breaking the Food Seduction

"I want both to congratulate and to thank you. You've done us all a major service."
 - John Robbins, author of Healthy at 100

"A professionally executed, powerful and moving film. It should be shown to children. They have so much to gain."
 - Reuben Allen, VIP Magazine

"The best tape on the subject I have ever seen."
 - Hesh Goldstein, Health Talk Radio

"A compelling and often shocking look at the standard American diet. Asserts that following federal nutrition guidelines can kill you."
 - American Library Association

"With the ever-growing popularity of programs like the Atkins diet, seeing what commercially produced animal fat and protein does inside of you is a true eye opener."
 - Bobbie Willis, Eugene Weekly

"I'm in full agreement with your points and give my endorsement. I was pleased that you identified USDA price supports as a major cause of disease in the US."
 - William Harris, M.D., author of numerous books and articles

What viewers are saying about the films

"I spent nearly 20 years in television and radio as a news anchor, but never in my entire professional career have I witnessed anything like 'Eating'. I am still dizzy, still shaking, still stunned, unable to digest what I saw and felt. What you have shown about the food industry really amounts to crimes against humanity. Without a doubt, this is the most powerful and disturbing video that I have ever seen; it is a magnificent piece of journalism, worthy of a Nobel Prize because you have rendered a great service to mankind."

"Although I had heard much of the contents many times before, nothing ever made an impact as this did. I was stunned. There are no words to express how I felt. A great spiritual teacher said we cannot grow unless we are willing to be embarrassed when our ignorance is revealed, and to sincerely regret past ways of thinking. At 63, I suffer from the typical ailments you mentioned and look forward to changing my diet. Thank you so much for being an instrument of such goodness."

"We were overwhelmed by this beautiful, comprehensive piece of work. Thank you for creating such a wonderful gift for humanity. Sometimes I get so discouraged at the lack of interest people show toward not only themselves but also their loved ones. Then along comes someone like you sharing wondrous gifts."

"Just want to thank you again for opening my eyes and educating me on things that should have been obvious. Watched the video again last night with my husband, it had even more impact. He did not want to watch it. He agreed to 20 minutes and then he could not turn it off. He was so surprised on how informative it was--he watched the entire video very intently and wants to change his way of eating. He is a southern cracker and was raised on barbecue so I was very surprised it affected him so. Can't wait to see how good we are both going to feel in a few weeks."

"It is the clearest, most powerful and compelling presentation in the Western world about the state of our health and food industries."

"Your film is a beacon in the darkness of illness."

"I have to say that your video blew me away, even though I'm already extremely familiar with the subject matter. I was struck by the clarity and simplicity with which you explained the various concepts, and I learned quite a few new facts. I just kept thinking about how much I want my relatives to see it."

"Never in recent years have I been presented with information that I had absolutely no prior knowledge of, that has such tremendous potential to impact our health and the health of our planet."

"With deep, profound gratitude in all aspects of the word. You deserve a Nobel Prize. Thank you, thank you and thank you!"

"I have just watched 'Eating' for the second time. What a powerful thing you have done! I am deeply sobered, powerfully moved, and most importantly, clearer still about so many things. Thank you."
