T.Colin Campbell Foundation
An email I just got:
Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure that we announce the launch of the official T. Colin Campbell Foundation website, located at http://www.tcolincampbell.org. Many of you have been waiting for over a year for this moment - thank you for your patience! We are greatly excited to release this website, as the projects and services we have begun hold great potential to educate the public and revolutionize the field of health. Together we have the power to effect great change.
Thank you as well for your enthusiastic support for Dr. Campbell's book, The China Study, for the amazing stories of healing that some of you have shared, and for taking personal steps in your own lives to make a healthier world. We are grateful to you and we hope that you will continue on this path.
We are offering three areas of information and support. "Plant-Based Nutrition" boasts a substantial library of the very best nutrition articles, as well as exclusive video and audio interviews with Dr. Campbell and other experts. "Saved by Nutrition" is a unique and powerful social networking community specifically created to post stories of disease reversal using a plant-based diet. "Courses and Resources" offers a number of valuable services to assist in transitioning to a plant-based diet - health coaching, an online directory of health care practitioners, an online Certificate Program in Plant-Based Nutrition hosted by eCornell, and several other projects that are coming soon pending additional financial support.
We would be honored for you to visit the site and make use of the services we offer - sign up for an online course, list your health care practice or find a practitioner, browse the articles, and participate in our social network "Saved by Nutrition", sharing stories of disease reversal and effective dietary intervention strategies.
I have had the privilege of working for the T. Colin Campbell Foundation for the last year, primarily coordinating the collection of stories of disease reversal for "Saved by Nutrition". It has been truly inspiring, and I am so glad to say "We are ready for you!" We are ready for you to sign up for our network, tell your story, and find others like you. We are ready to create a new community, empower those who are current patients and looking for solutions, and spread awareness about the power of a plant-based diet.
We look forward to hearing from you soon! Please pass this message on to as many people as you can. We have a lot of work to do together.
Sincerely,
Micaela Cook

I got the email too Cali- that's from when we signed up in Boston! That's awesome that the launch of site is today, a day filled with hope and inspiration!
I gave a speech today to my company (65 people) about the importance of good nutrition and the wonderful health benefits that are associated with it. I hope some of it sinks in! I hate how the idea of controlling your health with food sounds so radical.
I'm seriously thinking about writing to Obama and sending him a copy of the China Study. I know, millions and millions of people are writing him also, and I know he has thousands of issues to deal with already, but I figure, why not? You never know. Check out the updated White House site- even the contact page sounds optimistic and hopeful!

The health of millions of Americans could be improved if he made even a small step in the right direction. Maybe after a read he could see how food is such a big contributor to our huge healthcare mess. Maybe he could find a better answer to the "Government- Is It For The People?" question proposed by T. Colin Campbell.
Hey, one can dream...
I am thrilled about this! I am still going to find a way to take the online course for a certificat. I emailed them for more information and am waiting on that.
greenT....hey...give it a shot! I mean isn't better than doing nothing? If he doesn't read it maybe some one on his staff will and give him a brief? It's a start.
and Cali...you look beautiful!
GreenT, I so knew you would be all over this! :) I need to find time to check out the website myself. I think your idea is great and you should do it!!!
Thanks JaneM!
OK, I'll do it!!
:)
I'm planning on sending it March-Aprilish after the dust settles a little bit. Like you said Jane M, maybe it will at least spark the interest of whoever opens his mail!
