Allow us to introduce Dr. Fuhrman and his insights…
In response to the numerous requests for information and an equal amount of requests for a Healthy Living Section on our site, the Foundation has enlisted the nutritional and lifestyle expertise of Dr. Joel Fuhrman. On a personal note, as Executive Vice President of the Foundation, I have read Dr. Fuhrman's books and subscribed to his website, which provides an online forum with Dr. Fuhrman to ask him questions directly in real-time. I also ordered some of his wonderful products. In fact, after just 8 weeks of following his program, I’ve lost 20 pounds, experienced extraordinary results in reducing my total cholesterol levels from 214 to 155, and I’ve achieved a overall nutritional balance.
After having the pleasure of meeting with Dr. Fuhrman personally, we are confident that he is the best individual to assist the Colon Cancer Foundation in providing to our followers the most current information on health, nutrition, and colon cancer prevention. Dr. Fuhrman has agreed to contribute on a regular basis with important updates on nutrition and health. You can view his website at www.drfuhrman.com
