Just Established this Month � A Way to Make a Difference 

The McDougall Research & Education Foundation
A Tax Deductible Corporation � a 501 (c) (3)
Employer ID # 82-0573876

We have helped you and your family.
Now you have a chance to help us help
many more people.

Every year you give careful consideration on where to make contributions for the good of others.  The McDougall Research & Education Foundation is an opportunity to make tax deductible contributions that will make a difference.  We have already done some important research with our limited funds and have plans for many more valuable projects. Currently, we are seeking funds to complete phase-2 of two studies:

Life-changing Research:

1)  The Effects of a Very Low-fat Vegan Diet on Inflammatory (Rheumatoid) Arthritis
We have shown that about 70% of people with moderate to severe arthritis will benefit from a healthy diet. Published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition 17:512, 1998, and the full article in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine 8:71-75, 2002.  Money will be spent on a larger study with a more convincing research design.  More information at www.drmcdougall.com  � �Diet: Only Hope for Arthritis.�

2)  Reduction of Halitosis by Eliminating Animal Proteins from the Diet
Our initial results from 120 people show changing to a low-fat vegan diet results in a significant reduction in sulfur gases (the smelly ones) in the breath.  More important than a heart attack for many people is their personal appearance, especially the way they smell. We are currently in preliminary discussions with a major university about phase-2 of this project.

Many other research projects are planned, but this takes money to gather findings worthy of publication in respectable major medical journals � so long-overdue attention can be given to the benefits of a healthy diet.

Challenging Big Industries:

The foundation is also exploring legal avenues available to correct misinformation given to consumers by various food industries, including the Dairy and Meat Industries, and by �medical� organizations, like the American Heart Association � see my August 2002 Newsletter at www.drmcdougall.com.
