Multiple Myeloma

Blood Cancers and a Whole-food Plant-based Diet

My name is Richard Harding.

I have been a Multiple Myeloma patient for 11 years which was diagnosed when 1 was 60 years old. Twice, 11 years ago [2014] my wife, Ruth, was told that I would not be coming home from hospital.

I have been involved with the teaching and the design of diploma and certificate courses for nutrition for two registered training organisations.

After six years of attempting to obtain compliance, we gave up.

I have a 150 page, 200000 word website advocating a Whole-Food, Plant-Based diets with NO ADDED OILS. No dressings. No olive oil, coconut oil or fish oil. (Very important).

Seventh-day Adventists show that Californian Seventh-day Adventists have a much greater life expectancy and a higher level of health than the average American.

Wise Nutrition Website Introduction

To eat fully consciously connects us to the miracle of all life.

The WHO states the endometriosis is incurable and the cause is unknown. Using references from peer-reviewed medical journals and case studies, I can show that this is not true.

It is caused by an overabundance of oestrogen, in particular estradiol which is the result of a high-fat, high-protein diet as advocated by low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diet advocates such as Dr James Muecke, the 2020 Australian of the Year. Many references are provided on my website.

I have a 150 page, 120000 word website explaining how informed choices relating to the food we consume can result in optimal outcomes for our health, the environment and for the animals that we share the earth.

When I published my book Low-Carbohydrate Mania: Fantasies, Illusions, and Myths, I posted Dr John McDougall a copy to his practice in Santa Rosa, California. We communicated by email for nearly a year. Mostly the correspondence was concerned with the views of William Davis and Robert Lustig. He viewed both with some – let’s say, bewilderment.

Whole-food, plant-based diets without added oils or simple carbohydrates are best for our health, the environment and the animals we share the earth with.

I have been a lecturer in nutrition in Newcastle, Australia at WEA Hunter and has been involved in the design of nutrition courses for degree and diploma qualifications in Health Sciences.

I worked in the IT industry since the 1970s as a computer programmer, system designer and project manager for companies such as CBC Bank, National Australia Bank, Burroughs Australia and Unisys working on projects for ANZ Bank, State Bank of NSW, Health Insurance Commission (Medicare), NRMA, Reserve Bank of Australia, City Bank, North Power, Chase Manhattan Bank and ACIRL (Australian Coal Industry Research Laboratories).

My website consists of over 140 webpages and with more than 120,000 words. Most are related to health and nutrition with others relating to the environment, agriculture, philosophy and psychology. Many issues that the ancient Greeks wrestled with are still relevant today.
