DESCRIPTION: Lifestyle medicine pioneer Nathan Pritikin, who reversed his own heart disease through diet and went on to help millions of others, wasn't a doctor or dietician but an engineer. Nathan Pritikin's work saved my grandmother's life. Watch my story in Resuscitating Medicare (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/resuscitating-medicare/). Dr. Dean Ornish then published something along these same lines (see for example http://nutritionfacts.org/video/our-number-one-killer-can-be-stopped/). Pritikin's life's work continued through his research foundation, switching its focus from heart disease to cancer, as I feature in my 2012 presentation Uprooting the Leading Causes of Death (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/uprooting-the-leading-causes-of-death/). Tomorrow we start that journey: a three-week video series on dietary changes capable of enabling one's body to reverse cancer cell growth—buckle your seat belts!

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/engineering-a-cure/ and he'll try to answer it!
