Kaye, it came into my email box yesterday too! I checked their tour locations. They won't come to my local area. :-( I will watch them on my screen.

I really admire Team Campbell since the entire family worked so hard to get the message out:

It's amazing how this family actually worked together as a team to save their own lives, it's been 4 years already and they don't have to die prematurely since they're dodging the bullets:

It's just amazing how they got married and couldn't conceive for 2 years due to their health. Fortunately both of them went WFPB together and that lady got pregnant afterwards.

Such an incredible story since they managed to save their own lives while another one was created because of that. That little boy is so blessed to be raised in a WFPB family because he won't have to witness the unnecessary suffering of his loved ones in the future.

Maybe none of that would have happened if a selected few medical professionals and their colleagues weren't working so diligently despite all that resistance from the status quo. Granted the number of people who are committed to WFPB lifestyle might be somewhat limited but it's still important to reach those of us who are willing to get the job done.

Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Son Launch Bold Campaign to Bring Plant-Based Nutrition to Communities Across U.S.
https://www.onegreenplanet.org/news/dr-t-colin-campbell-and-son-campaign-to-bring-plant-based-nutrition-across-u-s/
After the tour, Healing America will hold seminars and other educational events in select cities, as well as offer affordable food to underserved neighborhoods. “It is time to go beyond health, to make larger connections that can join communities heretofore working apart into a more unified force for change, including change that extends into the political sphere,” shared Nelson Campell.

It's a nice article until they mentioned plant-based meat market because most likely soy-based meat substitutes would get the spotlight.

Anyways, we could find plenty of food deserts in this country (as well as the rest of the world) where many people simply don't have access to that many healthy options to begin with. Decent grocery stores might be available somewhere else but not everyone is able to get there unless they could spend their time to go there and then bring everything home afterwards.

Five a day? It's none a day in Britain's urban food deserts - The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2016/jul/05/five-a-day-cities-shortage-affordable-fruit-veg

Non-Technical Summary: Food Deserts in British Cities
https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/esrc-files/outputs/XNz49erze0aAzq-LX2u5TA/4WqtykTxtECjuq3zHJFsLg.pdf

It's so sad when they're facing those challenges because of living in disadvantaged areas, both time and money are concerns because they can't always afford to drive all the way to reach decent food options while resorting to the junk that could be found anywhere.

Food deserts: it's incredible when we think about it really. In the Guardian article and the non-technical summary, neither of them mention starches. Ironically, the restricted mobility elderly Bristol man Tiny Isaacson mentioned in the article could have literally sacks of potatoes, rice, with(probably) some frozen vegetables delivered to him in bulk, with some spices and herbs for flavour, for little money - and not have to worry about getting all the nutrition he needs for several weeks, without having to leave the house.

Yeah, it might be a bit boring as a basic diet!, but his health might also take an upward turn, given it's reported he has a heart condition.

Think we could do with Prof. Campbell or some of the other WFPB medics to come over and do a "Healing Britain" campaign - I'd help you out Docs! We'd probably get the public coming along as well just because they think that name's got something to do with post Brexit politics... :D

Nelson Campbell wrote:Good Afternoon,

I have an exciting announcement to share, but first wanted to remind you that we are launching our Healing America Campaign in Tampa, FL on January 20 (HealingAmericaTogether.com).

With that said, I would like to announce a partnership we have formed with Glasgow Consulting Group, a world-leading natural and organic food development company (www.glascg.com), to serve as our product development arm, improving our existing products and developing new ones. We are excited to work with Glasgow, not only because of their expertise, but because of the values and mission we share.

Their support will enable us to achieve a long-time dream of ours, which I can hardly believe we can now announce. Glasgow will help develop a line of high quality meals that can be mass produced at low cost for distribution through local partners into underserved neighborhoods. We will do this with no profit mark-up, and will even explore ways of taking payment from folks via their EBT cards. We will waive our profit on this distribution channel and will measure our success by the number of lives we touch in inner city neighborhoods, small rural towns, Native American communities, and wherever else people are facing serious health and financial challenges.

This is our “moonshot project” and it goes to the heart of what our organization is about. We are working hard to generate profit from a core foods business (online and at retailers like Publix Supermarkets), but this money is a means to a higher social end.

This commitment is why we have taken no money to date from venture capital and other investors whose first and sometimes only interest is money and control, relying instead on the contributions of individual ‘social impact’ investors, and our own personal funds. We believe we can generate exciting returns for investors, but do it in a way that is aligned with our social mission.

If there are any such socially minded investors reading this newsletter, I wanted to let you know that we are currently in the process of raising additional funding, in minimum increments of $50,000, to fund expanded food production necessary to meet our growing demand. If any of you have interest in learning more about this investment opportunity, please let us know by writing to our CFO, Tom Livingston, at livingston AT scalefinance.com.

This will be a pivotal year for our organization. All that we have been working on for the past several years, including our new film production, has been pointed to where we stand today. We look forward to what lies ahead, and as always, we appreciate your support.

Until next time,

Nelson Campbell

It's giving me a chuckle when I saw this picture below, PlantPure Moonshot is about health while Cancer Moonshot is more about sickness as it's stated in the corresponding titles:

Kudos to Star McDougaller Ellen Jaffe Jones who shared this video on Facebook:

Nelson and T Colin Campbell at University of South Florida #healingamericatogether
https://www.facebook.com/ellenjaffejones/videos/10155516917504023

And then we've got a doctor who really does all the right things to save the lives of his patients:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/healingamericamovement/permalink/399778050465874/
Simple Joys of Life:

Today I saw a patient of mine in follow up. This is a 73 year old Vietnam era Veteran. I met him in Aug of 2017 in the setting of an acute heart attack. After the usual care, I spent over an hour talking to him and his wife about the vital role food and lifestyle play in preventing future events and reversing disease and overall risk burden. They listened intently and took every word of my suggestion and became Whole Food Plant Based eaters overnight. Today, the patient reported to me that he lost 50 pounds and is no longer using insulin after using it for 8 years. Prior need was 100 units a day. His heart’s pumping capacity has normalized. He has more energy compared to 15 years ago.

Toward the end of our conversation, his wife says, “I lost 71 pounds myself and after a long time, I am able to sit properly and cross my legs.” I wish I had a camera ready, to capture the pure and simple joy on her face as she said those words.

Lifestyle is Medicine.

Thanks Brian. I sat on the sidelines for way too long. Wish I had this degree of awareness and clinical training/knowledge during my training. It’s never too late. One life, one family, one neighbor, one town and one nation at a time. To bring about the change, it all starts with the most important One. Let us all be the change that we want bring to this world.
