  ABOUT THE AUTHORS

  JOEL FUHRMAN, M.D., specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional and natural methods. Dr. Fuhrman is the president of the Nutritional Research Foundation. He is the author of several books, including the New York Times bestsellers Eat to Live, Eat to Live Cookbook, Super Immunity, The End of Diabetes, and The End of Heart Disease.

  ROBERT B. PHILLIPS was a vice president at Merrill Lynch suffering with sarcoidosis, a serious health condition that affected his breathing. Six months after discovering Dr. Fuhrman’s approach, his condition was completely reversed, and he quit his job at Merrill Lynch to help launch Dr. Fuhrman’s member support website. Robert continues to write and conducts research at Drexel University in the field of social energy. Robert lives in New Jersey with his wife, Marcia and two kids, Joseph and Jacob.
