PBS Features Neal Barnard, M.D., on Special One-Hour Program

Beginning March 6, PCRM president Neal Barnard, M.D., will be featured on PBS stations across the country, explaining the link between diet and health. During the 60-minute program "Taking Control of Diabetes with Dr. Neal Barnard" he will share his scientifically proven system to take control of diabetes through nutrition, without drugs. This approach addresses diabetes, but also helps with other ailments including high blood pressure, cholesterol, heart disease, and weight.

Last fall, Dr. Barnard was invited to speak about this program on Detroit public TV. The overwhelming success of that show prompted PBS to create this multi-city tour to get the message out to a much wider audience.

Dr. Barnard is a leading clinical researcher, adjunct associate professor of medicine, author, and one of America's most influential health advocates. You are invited to tune in for an in-depth explanation about how changing your diet can help you take control of your diabetes and other health conditions. Program times are subject to change, so please check your local listing.
