Increasing numbers of people resolve their pain (arthritic, migraine, cardiac) when they avoid dairy food. And switching to a whole-food, plant-based diet with little or no added salt, sugar and fat, produces amazing health benefits. This dietary way of living can prevent and even reverse seventy percent to eighty percent of existing, symptomatic disease, with an equal savings in health-care costs for those who
