The Eat Right America Foundation

Our mission is to promote
scientific research and
public education to prevent
dietary-caused disease,
the major cause of
chronic illnesses
and premature death
in modern countries

The medical profession and the public at large will not embrace nutritional interventions to prevent and treat disease unless well-documented in the scientific literature. Today almost all research funding is directed to "drug-research".

Results from preliminary medical studies have depicted that headaches, asthma, kidney disease, hypertension, diabetes and heart disease can all be improved, effectively treated and even "cured" via nutritional excellence. Nutrition for many diseases can be more effective than drug treatment.

Finding a "drug-cure" helps the bottom line of medical and pharmaceutical industries it will not help the average business. It is a response to dietary-caused diseases that has failed. Treatment is expensive. The average cost to traditional health insurer for the first 90 days after a heart attack is over $40,000. With the exception of a very few congenital conditions, every heart attack is a preventable and needless tragedy.

According to a study published in the January/February 2005 in Health Affairs more than 15 percent of the nation's gross domestic product (GNP) went to health care in 2003. The 2003 percent increase was greater than the growth in the U.S. economy as a whole. Health spending rose faster than federal revenues. It is eating away at our profitability.

The rising occurrence of obesity compounds these problems. Obesity is a totally preventable and reversible condition.
The sobering facts are that:


•More then 1 out of 3 Americans are obese. 85% of all Americans die from diseases that can be avoided by adopting a healthy diet

•Corporations will bear the brunt of these costs.

•This crisis threatens to undermine the American economy.

The solution is always obvious in retrospect. Yet, in the moment of crisis, we are unable to see it because it is often hidden in plain view. What is needed is the right question.





Skyrocketing health care costs are a radical problem and require a radically different way of thinking. The question is not: "How can we reduce cost of health care?" That question has a never ending list of answers. The questions that we should be asking are:


Can I prevent these costs from being incurred in the first place? If so, what are the impediments to prevention and how can we remove them? If diseases are preventable then how can we induce people to take the necessary steps to prevent them? These questions will lead to a more comprehensive solution.

Dr. Fuhrman and our advisor board of respected physicians and scientists have been studying this problem for several years. This includes studying and identifying the underlying impediments that prevent people from being able change. It starts by understanding our basic psychological wiring and physiologic nature of food addiction.

Wellness is more than just the absence of disease. It is a multi-dimensional indicator of your physical, emotional, and social state. Total wellness is characterized by superior health and is marked by a socially connected, disease free and long life span.

Difficult problems require a new way of thinking. Traditional diets don't work-they fail to consider the complexities of human nature and the workings of the human hunger drive. Traditional approaches to wellness are inadequate and do not address the underlying impediments to wellness. Our approach is based on the latest scientific research and clinical experience and it is based on modeling excellence. We are in desperate need of funding for studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach to disease and to bring the results of the research to the public for implementation.
