HOW A PLANT-BASED DIET SAVED OUR LIVES … LITERALLY!
By Bob & Fran German
We are both in our 80’s & all about healthy aging with a whole food plant-based eating lifestyle! We have two stories to tell.
Fran’s story …
In 1992 I was diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis & told that it was incurable, I’d have to be on drugs for the rest of my life, and that my lifespan would be shortened. I was prescribed prednisone & Mestinon and was told that there wasn’t much else that could be done. I suffered from severe double vision, had difficulty with my speech and swallowing, and at times I was extremely weak.
Over the next 14 years, I saw 11 different neurologists! Not one suggested a change in lifestyle, including diet, as a possible remedy.
Then, in 2006, I heard a nutritionist speak. He explained that eating animal products compromise the immune system and recommended that patients with any autoimmune disease switch to a whole food plant-based diet. I immediately did so and in just a few months I was off all medications and no longer had any symptoms!
It is now 15 years later and I feel safe in saying that I no longer have this ‘incurable’ disease and take no medicines at all!
Bob’s story …
In 2006, I learned that I had a small tumor on the outside of my left kidney. My urologist advised me to have it removed asap. I had cryoablation surgery, a procedure that froze the tumor off. Unfortunately, it turned out to be malignant.
The surgeon said he got the entire growth but explained that this type of tumor has been known to return. He never brought up the idea of changing what I ate could help prevent a recurrence of my cancer.
I also adopted a whole food plant-based diet as a means of prevention and have been cancer-free for 15 years! WFPB is the way to go!

After high stress and a diet of high salt and fats and being obese for many years, in 2016 I had four major strokes, in which I lost my ability to speak, drive and even ride my bike. I was told by all doctors I would never be able to do any of those activeites again, ever. Several weeks ago I began driving, which is making me free again after eight long years. I had bugun biking two years ago. Im off most of the 16 pills a day I was prescribed. My voice is accually returning. During my fight back I suffered 3 major setbacks. A bike accident and broken collar bone, two years ago a broken leg, and most recently a broken back. Im back to biking, and driving due to what the famous Linda Middlesworth taught me soon after my strokes. ” It’s the Food! It’s the Food! It’s the Food!!! I feel I’m truly, BACK FROM THE EDGE. You can also do this. Just try!
I went to college and became a registered nurse. As I was first working I wanted to understand about health. I was married and decided that working and raising children did not work for me. I choose to be a stay home mom and started reading health books. This took me on a very long journey of religion, traditions, and lies that needed to be removed from my perception. I am 72 now, divorced 18 years, retired, play league tennis on 2 leagues, writer of the book “Celebrating our Creators truth of love, life and light.” The second addition will be coming out in September, 2024 on Amazon. Since I was 32 I have been vegetarian and as I aged and internet became so accessible I learned from many people. The books that lead me to better health in my 30 and 40 was Fit for Life, Braggs books, The Essene Gosple of Peace, Mucusless Diet Healing System, and Natural Hygiene by Herbert M Shelton. I was very much a student of the bible as I was always looking for truth. Thankfully, King David left the aleph-tav in Psalms 119 which led me to study the light letters until I was released from the hold of the lies of the world and all its boxes. Health, truth, peace, love, light, life all are from our Creator and not a manmade god of religion. I live a simple quiet life, sharing when memory and opportunity shows itself to be beneficial and healthy. I take no medications, no vaccines, and have no medical doctor.

Thirty six years ago, I would have died. I was only 44 years old and had just been diagnosed with severe heart disease, high blood pressure, Thyroid Cancer, pre diabetes and I was almost 55 lbs. overweight. I was an aerobic instructor teaching 25 classes of aerobics per week. I thought I was eating a healthy diet of chicken, cheese, yogurt and ice cream. Luckily for me, my then new neighbor told me about Dr. John McDougall and I read his book. I could not believe that his patients were all getting over cancer, heart disease, diabetes and all chronic diseases. I jumped right in and never went back for more radiation and now I have perfect health. I just had to change to a starch based, whole food plant exclusive diet without oil. Now, at 80 I have great health and energy and still teach aerobics.
I went 100% plant-based in 2015 due to witnessing my parents’ declining health due to heart disease, diabetes and dementia. I am the eldest of 8 and the only one of my siblings who takes no meds or has any medical issues of any kind. I have more energy than even my youngest sister.

Went vegan almost ten years ago after watching What The Health and it was the best decision I’ve ever made! I do it for the animals for the planet and for my health!
Vegan 8 years. Living it with my family of three!
I rid myself of health anxiety 7 years ago and changed my perception to risk of non communicable diseases. I am 100% plant based and 90% whole foods plant based. My family eats and lives like this too. Its truly empowering.
I actually did it! I broke free from eating animals and animal products! And I love it!
So many things have healed in my body since going plant based. My dry skin and scalp have healed. My digestive issues have improved so much and my blood pressure is healthy now.
