The Power of Storytelling

Dan Purjes and Scott Stoll, M.D., present a collection of gripping and inspiring stories told in the authentic voices of real people who reversed their chronic diseases by adopting a whole food plant-based lifestyle. This one-of-its-kind book is the first in a series of Reversal books. Uniquely, the book includes two tables of contents, one listing the storytellers and their specific conditions, with a second table that lists all of the diseases that many of the storytellers and readers share in common.
