Guest guest Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hi Karen, Dr Fuhrman's plan is what they call the Beans And Greens diet - with other things restricted but not all prohibited. I think it works just fine, but you have to love those greens. It is stricter than Barnard imo, but even more effective. You can indeed google for his site and if you are interested there's a wonderful group (oh gosh I hesitate to give you this one - please promise you won't leave us when you join this other one!) that I belong to and highly recommend: Eat-2-Live/?yguid=270324770 They are absolutely grrrrrreat on Fuhrman - very knowledgable, very dedicated. Do give it a try! Love and hugs, Pat (who does not own/host/moderate or whatever that grooup) ---- My blog: http://beanvegan.blogspot.com " Atrocities are not less atrocities when they occur in laboratories and are called medical research.
