John Wood is an amazing man. At 64 years of age, he is turning around his health and fitness with a raw vegan diet after being diagnosed with prostrate cancer among other ailments. He has followed the advice of Dr Fred Bisci (Pictured) who is a raw vegan of over 40 years.

John is so pleased with his health's turn around that he is sponsoring Fred Bisci's first ever tour of Australia. Fred will be speaking in Perth, Sydney, The Gold Coast and Melbourne. Read more of John's inspiring story and Fred's Australian tour by clicking on the link below. 

For much of my life I was vegan or vegetarian and a 100% raw vegan, (0% cooked or processed food), for 922 days and counting.Two and a half years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I was also suffering from several other health problems; some serious. Clearly, a poor vegetarian diet was no protection against illness.

Against the tide, I decided to treat the cause of the cancer rather than have it cut, burnt or drugged out (I figured that the other ailments would also heal in the process). My search for an alternative but proven healing approach (I was seeking a raw vegan approach) took me to Dr Fred Bisci, a 79 year old Raw Vegan Nutritional Scientist living in New York, who awakened me to the possibilities of healing by transforming my nutritional intake, exercise and state of mind.

After two and a half years as a 100% raw vegan and Dr Bisci’s direction, I have made powerful progress. Below is a before and after comparison chart over that timeline.

BEFORE: After 64 years of poor diet (for a good percentage vegetarian or vegan), a sedentary lifestyle and stressful thinking; the following was the end result:
1.            Overweight
2.            Hypertension (high blood pressure).
3.            Hypothyroidism (an under active thyroid).
4.            Continuous diarrhea.
5.            Various perennial skin ailments.
6.            High cholesterol.
7.            Exhausted much of the time… old and worn out.
8.            Cancer of the prostate

AFTER: Two years six months later aged 67, following Dr Bisci’s natural healing regime, my body responded in the following way:

1.            Weight reduced from 83.7kg to 60.7kg: a drop of 23kg.
2.            Blood pressure down from 135/85 to 110/60
3.            Thyroid Function: TSH down from 27.90 to 3.12 (Healthy Range 0.40 – 4.00).
4.            Normal bowl movements.
5.            Skin conditions 100% healed.
6.            Cholesterol has reduced from 5.3 to 3.8 (Healthy Range <5.5*).
o             LDL Cholesterol (the bad stuff) down from 3.8 to 2.6 (Healthy Range <3.5).
o             Coronary Risk Ratio has come down from 5.3 to 3.8 (Healthy Range <5.0).
7.            Feeling stronger, healthier and more energised than I can recall at any point in my life. I recently completed a VO2 Max test  and scored in the élite class for a 40/44 year old group. Not bad for a  67 year old non athlete who only started exercising recently.                                                                                                                                         

8.            The test results continue to show steady improvement with a much reduced PSA and a reduction in the size of the tumours.

There are thousands of vegetarians/vegans eating an environmentally sustainable diet and an ethical diet, but not necessarily one that is nutritionally balanced and good for one’s own sustainability. More importantly there are millions of Australians eating a Standard Australian Diet, (SAD), and filling our surgeries and hospitals with very sick people.

In view of my own dramatic improvement in health and vitality I decided to sponsor Fred to deliver a four state tour (WA, NSW, Queensland and Victoria) to help people like me who are eating in the best interests of the planet and our fellow species, but not necessarily in the best interests of our own health. Add to that small group the bulk of the population eating their way to an early grave on the SAD, and I felt compelled to act.
