Bringing Dr. McDougall to a position of this authority and influence would have a significant effect in transforming healthcare in the U.S. Diet is the giant, missing piece of the American healthcare system. While it is given lip service to by councils set up to provide guidance, they are generally behind the curve in terms of the knowledge available. With the right doctor in the position of Surgeon General we could virtually eradicate Diabetes, Heart Disease and most cancers. The titanic of the pharmaceutical/medical paradigm has to be turned towards dietary education and application of principles as the solution. Dr. McDougall is the most qualified individual to bring about this transformation with a half century of experience and repeatable success in this field.
