Ovarian Cancer Day – 8 May 2026

I am emailing in response to your email regarding World Ovarian Cancer Day on 8 May 20026. I did attend a fund-raising event for Ovarian Cancer at Maitland. I presented…

Summary of the Advantages of a WFPB Diet

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.

Why Consume a Whole-food, Plant-based Diet

What If It’s All Been a Big Fat Lie?

Gary Taubes interviewed a number of prominent nutrition experts for his 2002 New York Times article What if it has been a Big Fat Lie?

Gary Taubes, Good Calories, Bad Calories book supported the views of Robert Atkins Diet Revolution, a high-fat, high-protein, high animal-based diet. This article resulted in the publication of the book Good Calories, Bad Calories five years later.

Bonnie Liebman reviewed Taubes’ New York Time Magazine article in 2002.

Both Teicholz and Taubes are supported and funded by the Beef Industry.

Brief Overview of WFPB Diets

Humans (or apes) did not evolve to eat any animal-derived products. Chimpanzees are the most omnivorous of all the apes and derive 5% of the diet from animals – mostly live termites which we do not find very appealing.

On the right panel of every page of my website, there is a green “Videos” button with several videos explaining why a whole-food, plant-based nutrition works.

If you view them it will show what is possible. Consider Katherine Lawrence story. She cured her endometriosis (which has the same cause as breast cancer) within 7 weeks by changing what she ate.

Dr. Tony Sattilaro cured his aggressive cancer. After 10 years, he decided he was cured and he could revert back to his old diet. It did not work.

Ruth Heidrich, Hawaiian Athlete and Breast Cancer Reversal

At the age of 47, Ruth Heidrich was diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancer had spread throughout her breast and into her bones and one lung. The prognosis was not good.

As a result of a 1982 study instigated by Dr. John McDougall, Ruth commenced a low-fat, vegan diet without chemotherapy, radiation or hormone blockers. The results of the dietary change were profound and the cancers were completely reversed.

Amber Bryant – Raising Money for Endometriosis Research

The article, "Amber Bryant - Raising Money for Endometriosis Research", was written by Bill Ormonde and published on Tue 22 April 2025 at 0607.

Amber, at 28-years-old, can barely get out of bed some days due to her endometriosis, ran to raise the awareness of the disease for Endometriosis Australia — a disease she has struggled with since she was 16, but was only diagnosed with in April 2023.

As Amber states, her treatment from the medical profession was appalling. "I dreaded going to the doctors because I thought that they felt like I was making it up."

Unfortunately her efforts are in vain because she is not treating the fundamental cause, that is an excess of sex-hormones, in particular estradiol.

The good news is that the cause is already known. I have contacted Amber and provided her with references from peer-reviewed medical journals and the remarkable story of Katherine Lawrence who cured her endometriosis in 7 weeks by changing her diet. This did NOT require the purchase of supplementary products. Her story is accessible from the right panel of my website by clicking on the green VIDEOS button.

I have contacted Endometriosis Australia and Amber on several occasions but have not received a response

Bacon Causes Cancer – World Health Organization

The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified processed meats including ham, bacon, salami and frankfurts as a Group 1 carcinogen which means that there’s strong evidence that processed meats cause cancer.

Eating processed meat increases your risk of bowel and stomach cancer. Red meat, such as beef, lamb and pork, has been classified as a Group 2A carcinogen which means it probably causes cancer.

WHO gives much stronger credibility to Random Clinic Trials (RCT) that other forms of evidence such as Epidemiolocal Studies.

It is possible to have a very short-term RCT where the participants and researchers do not know the differences in the diet. This can be done by feeding the participants drinks containing a powder with different ingredients that that taste and feel the same for each meal. This is only practical for possibly 3 weeks.

Any longer it can be a challenge. It can be difficult to learn what really constitutes a healthy, whole-food, plant-based diet. It really needs a supportive partner and learning how to shop, cook and manage changes to social interactions. It is much easier if the participants are living by themselves.

Epidemiolocal Studies are just as valid.

Dan Repacholi – Health Advocate

Ketogenic and low-carbohydrate diet advocates have been having a much greater impact on our diet and our health in the recent decades.. Book sales are higher, website visits are much more frequent.

Our health indicators have become progressively worse. The prevalence of many cancers have continued to rise. The mortality rate for all cases of cancer has risen for females. It has decreased for males because of the reduction in lung cancer.

Breast cancer, a sex-hormone related cancer with a high prevalence rate, continues to rise.

Pancreatic cancer, has a lower prevalence rate but has a high mortality rate, continues to rise unabated.

Whilst a substantial reduction in cervical cancer occurred between 1992-2002, there has been no reduction in the following two decades.

In 2018, 36% of Australians aged 18 and over are overweight (BMI of 25 to up to 30) and 31% of the population are obese (BMI 30 or more).

34% of adult Australians have hypertension (greater than 140/90 or taking medication). According to the Framingham Risk Assessment calculator, a systolic value of less than 120 mmHg is ideal.

Autoimmune diseases are a pernicious group of diseases where the immune system produces antibodies that destroy the body’s cells. There are 80-100 autoimmune diseases that have been identified.

Autoimmune diseases cumulatively affect 5-10% of the industrial world population and are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.

World-wide, the incidence of autoimmune diseases is increasing at the rate of 19% each and every year.

5.3% of Australian adults aged 18 and over had type 2 diabetes in 2017–18. Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia, increasing at a faster rate than other chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

Almost 1.9 million Australians have diabetes. On average, one in three of these people have some level of diabetic retinopathy.

Dementia is a syndrome in which there is deterioration in memory, thinking, behaviour and the ability to perform everyday activities. It is not a normal part of aging. 50 million people world-wide have dementia with nearly 10 million new cases every year. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia contributing 60–70% of cases.

In 2016, the global number of individuals who lived with dementia was 43·8 million which increased from 20.2 million in 1990. This represented an increase of 117% in 16 years. Dementia was the fifth leading cause of death globally accounting for 2·4 million deaths. This could be attributed to modifiable risk factors of high BMI, high fasting plasma glucose, smoking, and a high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages.

In the US, in 2010, the rate of autism at age 8 was 14.7 per 1,000 which is 1 in 68. Boys are 4.5 times more likely to be affected than girls.

This rate continues to increase. As at 2020, about 1 in 36 children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) according to estimates from CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network. About 1 in 6 (17%) children aged 3–17 years were diagnosed with a developmental disability.

That is the bad news. The good news is much of these illnesses can be prevented and even reversed with the consumption of a whole-food, plant-based diet with NO added oils (or salt). Coconut oil, olive oil or mayonnaise are not healthy and are most assuredly NOT associated with a natural diet of humans (or chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans).

Academy of Achievement Address 2006 by Professor Michael Brown

In 1985, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Michael Brown and Joseph Goldstein "for their discoveries concerning the regulation of cholesterol metabolism." They wrote:

"If the LDL-receptor hypothesis is correct, the human receptor system is designed to function in the presence of an exceedingly low LDL level. The kind of diet necessary to maintain such a level would be markedly different."

"It would call for the total elimination of dairy products as well as eggs, and for a severely limited intake of meat and other sources of saturated fats."

They also state that "such extreme dietary change is not warranted for the entire population" because of the “severe social and economic consequences”.

Perhaps the extreme social and economic consequences of not implementing that diet far outweigh the consequences of continuing to farm and feed ourselves in our habitual manner.

To be fair, this was written in 1984.

More recently, in 2006, Michael Brown's conclusions were different.
