Dr. Marcum and Lee Fulkerson discuss how and why he founded his organization Heartwise Ministries and what its goals and missions are and why he decided to use plant based nutrition to treat his patients. We also talked about the prevailing attitude among his fellow cardiologists about the idea of using plant based nutrition as a treatment for heart disease. He reveals his thoughts about the serious drawbacks of statins, bypass surgery and stents, three of the most the most common treatments for heart disease today.
