Here's a start:

(From 7:35) But it does not have to be this way! For 2.5 million years,
human ate what we could gather and hunt - they're called foragers - also
known as hunter-gatherers. That hunter gatherer diet, that palaeo diet,
consists of leaves, roots, berries, meat and fish. It's locally obtained
fresh in season and of course, organic! The Inuits in the far north ate
very differently than the Africans on the savanna, and yet, when scientists
have analyzed these hunter-gatherer diets, they exceed the Recommended
Daily Allowance two- to ten-fold, depending on the nutrient. These ancient
peoples know more about eating for optimal health and vitality than we
physicians and we scientists. The hunter-gatherer diet has more nutrition
than the American Heart Association Diet, more nutrition than the American
Diabetes Association Diet, and more nutrition than the USDA Food Pyramid
Diet.

(From 8:45) I therefore started with a hunter-gatherer diet. I used those
concepts, but I structured it to be sure I was getting the nutrition - the
vitamins, minerals and nutrients that I identified as being critical to my
brain cells and my mitochondria. That diet is this: three cups of green
leaves, three cups of sulphur-rich vegetables, three cups of bright colour,
grass-fed meat, organ meat, seaweed. Three cups is a dinner plate heaped
high.

(From 9:20) I start with greens because they're rich in B vitamins,
vitamins A, C, K and minerals. And those [KT: on the screen at 09:30) are
two types of kale. Kale has the most nutrition per calorie of any plant.
The B vitamins will protect your brain cells and your mitochondria.
Vitamins A and C support your immune cells. Vitamin K keeps your blood
vessels and bones healthy, and minerals are co-factors for hundreds of
different enzymes in your bodies. Plus, having a plateful of daily greens
will dramatically lower your risk of cataracts and macular degenerationÖ.

(From 10:00) So, have more kale, parsley, more cooked greens, have more
smoothies of greens, have dehydrator kale chips which are so delicious, my
teenage daughter and her friends love them.

(From 10:15) I want you to have three cups, a plateful, of sulphur-rich
vegetables every day; your brain and your mitochondria need sulphur. Your
liver and kidney need sulphur so they can remove toxins from your blood
stream. The cabbage family is rich in sulphur: that includes cabbage,
broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, rutabagas, turnips, radishes,
collards and kale. The onion family is also rich in sulphur: onions,
garlic, leeks, chives, shallots. And so are mushrooms and asparagus.

(From 10:55) I also want you to have a plate - three cups - of colours,
preferably three different colours, [these are] flavonoids and polyphenols.
These are potent antioxidants that will support your retina, your
mitochondria, your brain cells, and the removal of toxins. You can get your
colours from vegetables like red cabbage, peppers, carrots, beets or from
berries or from brightly coloured fruit like peaches and oranges.

(From 11:30) I want you to have high quality protein that's rich in omega 3
fatty acids. Omega three fatty acids are very important to insulate that
wiring in your brain. It's also critical for the development of your jaw,
so you can have straight teeth and a larger brain. Therefore have wild fish
- in particular salmon and herring. Also have grass-fed meat every day. Our
ancient societies also all valued organ meat. And organ meats are
concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals and Co-enzyme Q. They are
particularly potent at supporting your mitochondria. Therefore have organ
meats like liver, heart, tongue, gizzards, sweetbreads once a week.

(From 12:15) The ancients would travel great distances or trade to ensure
access to seaweed. [KT: note that seaweed is not a plant - a fact I
discovered only when reading the obituaries for Lynn Margulis). Seaweed is
a rich source of iodine and selenium. Your brain needs iodine to make
myelin, the insulation for the wiring. It also needs iodine to remove
toxins like mercury, lead and heavy metals. And adequate iodine lowers your
risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer. Studies have shown that 80% of
Americans have relatively low iodine; therefore have seaweed at least once
a week to ensure adequate iodine levels.

(From 13:00) Most Americans can't imagine eating nine cups, three platefuls
of vegetables and berries every day. But if you'll commit to having nine
cups of these incredibly healthy, wonderful-for-you vegetables and berries
every day - before you have grain, potatoes, dairy - you will have
dramatically increased the vitamin and mineral content of your diet, plus
you will have dramatically lowered the risk of food allergies. Food
allergies and food sensitivities are far more common than we realize. They
are difficult to diagnose and in particular, a sensitivity to gluten, a
protein in wheat, rye and barley, and to dairy. The casein protein in dairy
is associated with a wide variety of health problems, including, but not
limited to, eczema, asthma, allergies, infertility, irritable bowel,
fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, arthritis, chronic headache, neurological
problems and behavioural problems.

(From 14:10) Yes, it will cost more to eat these beautiful vegetables and
berries. But, I assure you, you are going to pay the price [anyway]. You
will pay the price now for food that restores your health and vitality. Or
you pay the price for doctors' visits, prescription drugs, surgeries,
missed time from work, early retirement and nursing home care. The choice
is yours.

(From 14:40) OK. [Over] seven years I get the best care, the latest newest
drug, and I continue to get more disabled. By November 2007, I could not
sit in a chair like you are in now. I had to be reclined in a
"zero-gravity" chair like this (at 14:50) at home or at work or in bed. I
could walk short distances using two canes. I was losing my keys, my
phones. I was having nightmares that my chief of staff had pulled my
clinical privileges. That is when I designed a diet specifically for my
brain cells and my mitochondria. That's when I became a modern-day hunter
gatherer. Three months later, I could walk between exam rooms using one
cane. The month after that, I could walk throughout the hospital without a
cane. At five months, I got on my bike for the first time in a decade; then
I pedaled around the block. Nine months into my new way of eating, I
pedaled 18 miles. The following year I did a trail ride in the Canadian
Rockies.
