Colin Campbell's China Project, > etc. Medical nutrition therapy is a term used for an intensive level of individual therapeutic nutrition counseling provided by a registered dietitian. It includes interpretation of laboratory values, examination of lifestyle factors and medical history, analysis of food diaries, and the development of a personal eating plan, among other areas. Such conditions as food allergies, endocrine abnormalities, gastroparesis, poor oral health, food-medication interactions, lesions of the GI tract, and diseases of metabolism are carefully considered in applying medical nutrition therapy. > I guess you must be referring to sprouts specifically? Yes, I refer to sprouts specifically. Ornish's work has certainly included reversal of heart disease; sprouts are not a regular part of his patients' diet plan. Patients who experience reversal eat an extremely low-fat diet, exercise daily, and use meditation to lower stress. It has not been conclusively shown that diet was the effective agent in his patients' reversal. Exercise, meditation, or a combination of both, or all three, may be needed.
