DESCRIPTION: If doctors can eliminate some of our leading killers by treating the underlying causes of chronic disease better than nearly any other medical intervention, why don’t more doctors do it?

For those surprised that policy makers wouldn’t support such a common sense notion as preventive health, check out my video The McGovern Report ( What about medical associations? Medical Associations Oppose Bill to Mandate Nutrition Training (
For those unfamiliar with Dr. Dean Ornish’s landmark work, watch the story about my grandmother in my videos Resuscitating Medicare ( and Our Number One Killer Can Be Stopped (
