Did you know that in the Nazi Prisons when prisoners
died, autopsy was done routinely?
Did you know that regardless of age, not a single
blockage was found in the coronary blood vessels
(these are the tiny blood vessels which supply blood
and oxygen to the heart muscle) of any of those
prisoners?
Did you know that during the Gulf War I, when our
young (19-24 year old) soldiers died and autopsy
was done they found several blockages in the
coronary blood vessels of those soldiers?
So what do you think made the difference? How come
even elderly prisoners had no blockages whereas
young soldiers had many blockages?
Answer: Food! The prisoners in the Nazi camps
were given very little meat or high fat food whereas
our young soldiers were given high fat animal
products.
When God (Let us assume you believe the Bible)
created Adam and Eve, what kind of steak did He give
them to eat? A T-bone or a Ribeye?
Answer: Neither. He gave them, fruits, nuts and
grain.
How long did Adam live?
Answer: Over 900 years!!
When did God allow animal flesh to be consumed?
Answer: After the flood!! In fact it is interesting that
just before the flood, God in effect says, I am tired
of man living long and committing all these sins. I
will cut short his life. Then right after the flood, the
Lord says to Noah: “You may eat animal flesh”
Right away, life expectancy of man began to fall
precipitously!
Question: What is the difference in the length of the
intestine of the tiger (meat eating animal) and the
sheep (non-meat eating animal)?
Answer: Tiger’s small intestine is very short but the
small intestine of sheep is 20 feet long!
Now for the final question: Which does the human
small intestine resemble.. Tiger’s or sheep’s?
Answer: Sheep’s!!
If that is so.. in other words, the small intestine of all
meat eating animals is short but the small intestine of
all non-meat eating animals is long and human small
intestine is long like that of the sheep, what type of
food were humans designed for? It is certainly not
meat.
We were not designed to eat meat. Meat consumption
shortens your life.
Nathan Pritikin was experiencing chest pains and
went to see his physician. Subsequently Nathan
Pritikin underwent coronary angiography which
revealed severe disease of all his coronary blood
vessels such that Bypass surgery was considered not
possible. He was given some pain medications and
told to go live out the rest of his life to the best of his
ability and prepare to die soon. Nathan Pritikin
decided he did not like what he heard and decided to
take matters into his own hands. He decided to go on
an extremely low fat diet with very small amounts of
meat. Within a few weeks he began to feel better and
noticed a sharp decrease in the frequency and
intensity of his chest pains. He began to exercise and
noticed even more improvement. He was so impressed
with his results, he recommended this to his friends
and neighbors and he wrote several books about his
experience and experiments on himself. It is reported
that he contacted his heart specialist and requested
another coronary angiogram be done to see if there
was any change in his coronary blood vessels but his
cardiologist apparently refused because Nathan
Pritikin was doing so well he felt the procedure was
not needed. It is reported that Nathan Pritikin had
requested that an autopsy be performed after his
death. When autopsy was performed, his coronary
blood vessels were found to be clean!!!
On November 16, 2005 National Geographic
Magazine published an article on the three groups of
people in the world who lived the longest. It reported
the results from a 30 year long study that found that
the Okinawans, (Japan), Sardinians (Italy) and the
Seventh day Adventists (A group of fundamental
Protestant Christians which has a large population in
California) lived the longest. But what was amazing to
the researchers was the fact that although over the
last 30 years all three groups had lived longer than
any other group, during the last 10 years, two of the
three groups lost their advantage. In other words only
the Seventh day Adventist Christians continued to
demonstrate enhanced life span. Do you know why?
Because 50% of all Seventh day Adventist Christians
are vegetarians and the other 50% eat meat
occasionally or rarely. In fact this group (they are not
all Caucasians) also practices abstinence from
alcohol, tobacco and caffeinated beverages and
believes in daily exercise and attempts to obtain 7
hours of sleep every night. It is a multi-racial group
which is united only in its health and religious
beliefs. The incidence of all diseases e.g., cancers,
heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure and infections
was much lower in that group. They live an average
of 5-7 years longer than the average American
population.
It is clear from the foregoing discussion that the best
diet for you is a vegan diet. Vegan diet is one in which
there is no animal product of any kind. In other
words, not only is meat prohibited but also products
such as fish, milk, eggs and cheese. In other words,
your diet should consist of only whole grains, fruits,
nuts and vegetables. Scientific studies have shown
that such a diet will not only prevent the onset of
blockages of the coronary blood vessels but will also
actually make these blockages melt away with time!!
In fact this is the only diet that can actually reverse
heart disease when combined with daily exercise for
45 minutes or walking 2 miles a day.
Dr. Chelliah’s Ideal diet: No meat of any kind.. No
red meat, no white meat, no pork, no turkey, no
chicken, no fish, no milk, no eggs and no cheese.
I personally recommend this to all my patients with
or without heart disease. If you need additional
information, please contact us.
I highly recommend you watch the following DVDs:
“Forks Over Knives”
All the above data are based on peer-reviewed articles in
reputable medical and nutrition journals.

An Amazing Fact: 85% of all chronic diseases can be prevented
or cured by pursuing a vegan diet (no animal product of any
kind) combined with daily exercise.
