I cannot answer for former President Bush. I suspect he has access to some pretty sharp doctors and will be listening to their advice .

That said what really blew me away was his numbers! Resting HR of 47!! On treadmill HR of 178. Holy MOLY!!! I do treadmill work and push my HR to 145 and that is enough for me. I think at 178 it may explode!!!

PS. I for one follow your posts (and a few others) on this subject with great interest. I cannot say I have converted to a plant based lifestyle, but I have taken a serious look at how I eat and made some significant changes to the better due to a few posters on TOTV and my followup reading.
