Dr Oz - Cowboy Goes Vegan to Save His Life - Follow Up

[HelpStopAnimalAbuses]

My father nearly died - had a heart attack (leading killer in the usa), horrible bypass surgery (look up videos) at age 42. He was thin and fit too - even was in the military and walked miles a day as a mailman. Cholesterol from animal products are bad for us and of course the animals - meatvideo dotcom. MadCowboy dotcom is also a former rancher now veg, he was on Oprah. American Heart Association, many drs and dieticians support veganism. Thanks for the upload, original show video was deleted

Family is now veg, im vegan for animal reasons (meatvideo dotcom) though, fringe benefit is health, environment, reduce world hunger even etc.

@HelpStopAnimalAbuses Thanks, I didn't realize they removed the video from Dr. Oz site. Most people think you need to be obese to have a heart attack, but nothing could be farther from the truth. I have posted Mad Cowboy here - /watch?v=piZmH4gzyqs

If you haven't seen *Food That Kills* is excellent to help educate others and I have also posted a link on my main page to the new documentary *Forks Over Knives* I wish I could get the world to listen.

I've been vegan for 16 years and whenever someone goes vegan there's one thing that stands out more than most... Their self-discipline. This cowboy would never have been able to complete this diet without it.

[DianeDi]

@OzVegan I agree that at first it is all about self discipline and of course understanding the health impact. Like any "bad habit" - once addicted, it's the discipline that gets us through it. Once you adjust your headset and lifestyle I believe it's a natural. I imagine when told you will die unless you change your diet, well, that's got to be a great incentive. It's just too bad people leave it that long. I personally don't miss animal products and wish I knew all this many years ago.

I have been vegetarian for over 2 years. Within the first month I lost 10 pounds and that with just cutting out meat.

I went from a size 20 pants to a size 7 and I'm slowly melting off more pounds everyday. I never want 2 go back 2 where I was b4

[DianeDi]

@Gahuki44 That is VERY impressive and I salute you ! People need to see the facts and more important the "truth" about what we consume. I am now vegan, because if you haven't researched this yet, you may want to.... dairy = cancer... big time. I was the biggest addict ever - but now, I treat it like toxic waste. Please watch my main page video 'Milk - The Deadly Poison" and read some links in vid description. I never thought I'd be telling people to NOT drink milk, but hey, here I am.

What a great video, I wish they would have posted the second part of the segment. I would have liked to hear how much weight he lost.

[angiecat33]

Great stuff! Proof positive that going vegan not only saved the cowboy's life but also helps the environment. Going meat free is not only about your health but the health of the planet. "Diet for a New America" teaches that which you can now get in your local library...

[julieoneillphoto]

Ya we were meant to eat animals. You go right ahead. You can get fat, unhealthy, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, depression, etc etc etc.

For me I will take the unnatural way and go vegan!

Is eating meat is natural way does it make us sick????

[2012forlove]

agreed ...

well our intestines are not made for meat processing ... :D

peace

[lovekisslaugh]

And herein is proof that plant-based foods reverses type 2 diabetes!

After a month of vegan fare, Rocco not only lost 30 pounds, he was able to go off two of three of his medications! Bravo to you Rocco for taking the Vegan Challenge! I wish you a long life with much joy in your grandchildren!

if you watched the show when he was first on, they showed you a picture of the plaque build-up inside his heart. all because of his diet.

i've been a vegan for a year (vegetarian for 3 years before that) and i have never been healthier.

i never get sick with colds, my skin looks amazing, i've lost weight, i sleep better and i have more energy than i've ever had.

[lucklyclover58]

[judyrusso]

[animalliberation0961]
