My name is Philip Lynn. I have a history of three vessel heart bypass surgery at the age of 49. One of the bypass graft had to be redone a year later. The following years, I underwent heart stenting procedure to open up few more obstructed arteries in my heart. I also suffered two strokes that left me weak on my left side. I was taking insulin three times a day (total of 84 units a day) for diabetes. I was taking fifteen different medicines twice a day. My cholesterol was in dangerous range’s, and my A1c was 10.1. I was unable to control my diabetes and my weight, which was 284 lbs.


On July 14, 2018, I had my first appointment with Dr. Edelita Jamis. Dr. Jamis asked me if I wanted to “improve my quality of life and possibly extend my life.” She introduced me to a plant-based life style and suggested that I watch “Forks over Knives” documentary. And, she wanted me to follow up with her regularly. I committed to following this plan.


The results were miraculous. In less than a week, I was off my insulin. My A1c came down to 5.5 after four months. My weight gradually and consistently came down too and I now weigh 179 lbs. I now only take 4 prescription medications. My cholesterol and blood pressure are perfect with no blood pressure medicine.



My quality of life has improved physically, mentally and spiritually. I do things that I could not imagined I would ever do again.


I can walk my dog for as long as I want to. I do Yoga three times a week. I do a 40-minute cardio exercise, and lift weights six times a week.


For the first eight months, Dr. Jamis counseled me weekly. I will always be grateful to God for that day in July 2018 and Dr. Jamis. I believe she changed and saved my life.

My journey started many years ago. I started having gastric issues back in the 1990’s. I was put on several acid reducing medications. None of them ever really worked for me but I continued taking it. My gastroenterologist sent me to a nutritionist who basically told me to stay away from foods that take a long time to digest. She also suggested drinking smoothies. This helped for a while but eventually the gastric issues returned. Several years into this, I had a stomach scope which showed that I had Barrett’s esophagus. I was told that it was incurable. I also had testing done that showed I had gastroparesis which meant that it took my stomach a very long time to digest food longer than what it should by several hours. At this time I just decided to deal with my diagnosis and eat as best I could and try to avoid foods that hurt my stomach.


In 2018, my doctor suggested I see another specialist for my stomach and encouraged me to get a gastric pacer implanted to help my stomach digest food. I had an appointment with this new specialist in December of 2018. In the mean time I had seen Dr. Jamis about my cholesterol. It was elevated and she was concerned about heart disease and suggested I go on a Whole foods plant based diet. I was scared ab​out heart disease so the next day I went cold turkey and embraced whole food plant based diet. This was November 1, 2018. Also I weighed 180 and I am 5’6” tall. Another thing I was dealing too at the time was my allergy. I had to take several allergy pills and inhalers for my asthma. I was in bad shape over all, but just kept accepting that’s how I was going to be.



Going whole food plant based was difficult in the beginning, but by December 1st I started to feel better and was losing weight. I didn't exercise. In fact, I was eating all day long. Prior to my scheduled appointment with the gastric specialist, I had another scope of my stomach done. It showed that my Barrett’s esophagus was completely gone. The doctor was amazed and asked me what I had been doing. I told him about going whole food plant based. He said keep doing it. Just two days before my appointment I realized I was no longer having digestive issues and cancelled the appointment. By January Dr. Jamis rechecked my cholesterol and it had dropped significantly. I had lost over 20 lbs and was feeling great. Here I am now almost a year into being whole food plant based and I’m down 44 lbs. I am completely healed of my gastric and allergy issues. What seemed bleak a year ago is now a miracle! I could have just gone on another medication for the cholesterol, but didn’t want to take anymore medications. I now take no medications for my stomach, asthma and allergy and I am feeling great. Eating whole food plant based saved my health and kept me from having to get a gastric pacer implanted. I will be whole food plant based for the rest of my life.


This is my mother. She is 68 years old. She likes telling her story and she wants me to write this testimonial on her behalf. She was diagnosed with diabetes with complications (nerve pain, blurred vision, and lung infection) 25 years ago. Like any diabetic, she was not spared from concomitant diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and asthma. She was maintained on rising doses of insulin, three oral diabetes pills, three anti-hypertensive medications, 2 asthma inhalers, 2 nerve pills, eye drops and cholesterol pills with multiple "health supplements".


​Despite taking all her medications diligently, her blood sugar and blood pressure went on a roller coaster ride. She reached the point of wanting to give up as her medications have become too expensive and nauseating.


When I told her that I have reversed my diabetes with the lifestyle change, she doubted it will work for her, since she thought she's been "diabetic for way too long and it's impossible". All I did was constantly educate her about her diseases and how the human body can heal if given the right nourishment and care. Little did I know that our weekly talk over the phone changed her mind. She needed to gradually cut down her insulin dose because her blood sugar was consistently trending down. After six months, she was officially off insulin. Another 3 months passed and she was off asthma inhalers and cut down half of her blood pressure and oral diabetes medications. She got off her nerve pill (for neuropathy) and eye drops as well, and remained symptom-free. Overall, we got her prescription medications down from 12 to 3. She also lost weight and her energy level increased. She noticed that since she started lifestyle change, she didn't get sick too frequently anymore.


My mother was my first patient. At one point, she was injecting insulin and now she doesn't have to do it. She still couldn't believe that she'll ever be injection-free.
