You can regain your health and take control of your life. All the beneficial things that you associate with health – looking good, optimal weight, positive energy, vitality and a deep sense of well-being – can be yours. What’s more, you can accomplish these goals by the simplest method imaginable: eating the wholesome, fresh foods your body was designed to enjoy.

More than 50 Years of Restoring People’s Health

I have been practicing medicine for over 50 years and I have treated virtually every type of chronic illness common to the developed world. In my efforts to help people restore their health, I have tried almost every type of test and medical treatment available. But in all my years I have seen only one form of treatment work consistently and, quite often, even miraculously.

This approach has been effective even when all other medical therapies have failed. Patients whose doctors have given up on them – who are told there are no more drugs or operations that might save them – have restored their health using this singular approach.

The McDougall Program Basics

  • A diet of plant foods, including whole grains and whole-grain products (such as pasta, tortillas, and whole-grain bread), and a wide assortment of  vegetables and fruit.
  • Plenty of spices and usually small amounts of sugar and salt to enhance the flavor of food.
  • Exercise as simple as a daily walk.
  • The exclusion of animal foods, including red meat, poultry, dairy products, eggs, and fish – all of which provide toxic levels of fat, cholesterol, protein and, very often, infectious agents and harmful chemicals.
  • The exclusion of all oils including olive oil, safflower oil, and corn oil. Oils are nothing more than liquid fats that increase obesity, which in turn, depresses immune function and contributes to the most common chronic diseases.

Just 10 Days to Profound and Lasting Change

The dietary and lifestyle habits above may sound challenging at first, but taken step by step over just 10 days, it will become a way of life that is so natural you won’t believe how easy it is. Most important, you‘ll experience an almost immediate improvement in your health. And once you do, the profound difference will make it hard to imagine doing it any other way.

Try it for Yourself

In this special introduction to the McDougall Program, I’ll describe in detail how to put this powerful healing approach to work for you in 10 days. This is exactly the same program that I used with my patients at St. Helena Hospital and Health Center in Napa Valley, California for 16 years and the one I used at my resort-based 10-day residential clinic in Santa Rosa, California and now use in my online programs. You’ll find that you can do everything at home that my live-in patients do in order to lose weight and regain lost health. Understanding my program isn’t difficult. When you are ready, I recommend that you inform your doctor so that they can provide medical consultation and support if necessary. The biggest obstacle is getting started.
