Nathan Pritikin's Death?

by Karen Graunke
(Queensland Australia)

I have heard that Dr. Pritikin's arteries were clean at the time of his death....but I read that he died of leukaemia!!?? Is this true??? The point is if he was eating such a healthy plant based diet then why did he have an untimely death from Leukaemia??? So it did not do that much to protect him from Cancer!?

Thanks
Karen Australia

He had leukemia for 27 years, long before he started this diet. Moreover, he seems to have been taken down by a bad reaction to chemotherapy he was convinced to undergo rather than by the direct effect of leukemia. When he was told in a second opinion that there was no hope, he took his own life.
