Dr Oz has dished up just the medicine for rotund Rocco, a cowboy whose diet of animals and junk food has put him on death’s door.
What is the medicine that is Rocco’s only hope? To follow a vegan diet.
A scan of the cowboy’s plaque-jammed heart, which resembles that of an 85 year old’s, shocked him so much that he’s giving up animal products to save his life.
“I can’t look back, I’ve gotta look forward,” Rocco told Dr Oz. “I’ll make the best out of a bad situation.”
While Dr Oz did well highlighting what many of us know (eating animals and animal-derived products is a death sentence), he misses the point by introducing meat back into Rocco’s diet during week four of the 28-day challenge he set for the cowboy.
The doc also recommends Rocco eat soy products, but should have mentioned soy needs to be fermented before consuming.
Despite these two not-so-wise recommendations, Dr Oz has put the attention squarely on the overwhelming benefits of a vegan diet — and that can only be a huge positive for people, animals and the planet.

Day one of a three-day cleanse. Time to recharge the battery. Started the day as usual with a dash of Celtic sea salt in a glass of spring water. Loads of fresh organic juices to come…
Celtic sea salt (below left) is packed with live minerals and 80-something trace elements including iodine, iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, potassium and zinc. Whether you’re cleansing or not, adding it to spring water and drinking first thing in the morning is one of the best things you can do for your body.
Everyday table salt (below right), however, is another story. It is so highly processed that it actually becomes a protoplasmic poison which disrupts the circulatory system, nervous system and fluid balance. Yikes.
