How is success defined? Longevity? Reduced morbidity? Increased well-being?

The book has case studies and testimonials.  Many patients were obese and 
had obesity related illnesses -- diabetes -- high blood pressure etc. He ran 
a clinic where his patients had all but given up being made sicker by 
conventional medicine aka drugs and awful diet.  He mentions how the awful food in 
Polish hospitals don't give anyone a chance at health -- same can be said 
for the ones here. ( When my obese, type 2 diabetic suffered a stroke, I 
remember her hospital meal contained a teensy strip of skinless chicken breast 
and large portions of instant mashed potato and steamed carrots.  That was 
the diebetes expert's idea of an appropriate meal.)  There is also a 
testimonial by a doctor whose MS progression was halted -- no claim of cure -- but a 
halting of progression that was quite impressive.  It's basically a low carb 
diet that contains less protein than Atkins and 70%+ fat.  The web site 
someone else posted really explains it. It's a protein restricted Atkins.   But 
the only way to sustain 70%+  fat while also restricting protein is by 
eating added pure fat such as cream, butter or lard -- oil etc.  For those who 
tolerate dairy -- the plan would be quite easy.
