 Dr. Caldwell & Ann Esselstyn We are very pleased to welcome the Esselstyns to this year's gathering. Dr. Esselstyn has been a surgeon, researcher and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic for over forty years. In his talk, "Becoming Heart Attack Proof", he will share the results of his twenty-year study which proves how choosing a plant-based diet can not only stop the progression of heart disease but also reverse it! Dr. Esselstyn and his wife Ann have followed a plant-based diet for more than 26 years. Ann will share her expertise in nutritional labeling and how to make healthy food choices. http://www.heartattackproof.com/ FORKS OVER KNIVES "a film that could save your life" - Roger Ebert This recent documentary follows the groundbreaking work done by Dr. Esselstyn and Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a Cornell University nutritional biochemist, who has also been a speaker at the gathering. Their independent research shows that degenerative diseases, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, can be prevented - and in many cases reversed - by adopting a whole foods, plant-based diet. http://www.forksoverknives.com/  Arun Gandhi, grandson of India's legendary leader Mohandas K. "Mahatma" Gandhi Arun is a global elder of peace who continues his grandfather's work encouraging people all over the world to be agents of nonviolent change.
