I’m very excited about next week’s speaker!
Dr. Michael Klaper, who joined us for the TrueNorth Doctors Panel,
is coming to speak about his experiences as a doctor and 30+ year vegan.
His decades of clinical experience have given him a perspective
that most people never get, and he’s coming to share it with us!

NEXT WEEK AT MONDAY NIGHT LIVE! @ CAFE GRATITUDE:

Monday April 19th, 2010 : 7:00pm-8:00pm
Dr. Michael Klaper
Topic: “From the Operating Room to the Dining Room -
One Doctor’s Nutritional Evolution.”
5 Minute Interview with Dr. Michael Klaper.


Dr. Michael Klaper graduated from the University of Illinois College of
Medicine in Chicago in 1972. He Served his medical internship at
Vancouver General Hospital in British Columbia, Canada and took under
took additional training in surgery, anesthesiology, orthopedics and
obstetrics at the University of California Hospitals in San Francisco.

As Dr. Klaper’s medical Career progressed, he began to realize that many
of the diseases his patients brought to his office – clogged arteries
(atherosclerosis) high blood pressure (hypertension), obesity, adult onset
diabetes, and even some forms of arthritis, asthma, and other significant
illnesses – were made worse, or actually caused, by the high-fat, overly
processed Standard American Diet (S.A.D.).

This prompted him to undertake a serious study of the link between diet
and disease, eventually leading him to implement nutritionally-based
therapies in his practice. The results were dramatic. Nearly all of his
patients who followed his dietary, exercise,and stress reduction programs
soon became leaner and more energetic, while their elevated blood
pressures and cholesterol levels returned to safer values. (In twelve
weeks on this same program, Dr. Klaper’s own cholesterol dropped from
242 mg/dl to 140mg/dl, while a 22-pound “spare tire” of abdominal fat
melted away — without dieting or calorie restriction.) He also observed
that many of the chronic diseases mentioned above improved or resolved
completely, often allowing his patients to reduce or discontinue their
medication entirely.

Dr. Klaper believes strongly that proper nutrition and a balanced lifestyle
are essential for health, and in many cases make the difference between
healing an illness or merely treating the symptoms.

To further the education of physicians and other health professionals
about the importance of nutrition in clinical practice, Dr. Klaper serves
as the Director of the non-profit Institute of Nutrition Education and
Research. He also is a member of the Nutrition Task Force of the
American Medical Student Association.

Dr. Klaper has served as advisor to the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (N.A.S.A.) project on nutrition for long-term space
colonists on the moon and on mars.

A gifted teacher, humorous lecturer, and the author of successful books
and video’s on cholesterol-free nutrition. Dr. Klaper has contributed to
the making of two PBS television productions, “Food for Thought,” and
the award winning, “Diet for a New America.” Dr. Klaper also hosts the
popular radio program “Sounds of Healing,” on WPFW, 89.3 FM, in the
Washington, D.C. area.

New to Sonoma County, Dr. Klaper has recently joined the medical staff
of the TrueNorth Health and Fasting Center in Santa Rosa.
