This has been tagged as not having established notability for two months, and for being written like an advrtisement for four. I don't think it's going to improve. But, well, may as well give it one more chance for its notability to be demonstrated. Shoemaker&#39;s Holiday (talk) 01:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Four books published demonstrates enough notability to me. His name in quotes generates 300k hits on Yahoo OptimistBen (talk) 02:44, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep; Dr. Fuhrman "is a board-certified family physician in private practice in Belle Mead, New Jersey, who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional methods. He is an active staff member of Hunterdon Medical Center and provides nutritionally oriented medical care to patients as well as nutritional education to other physicians."


 * The Foreward to his book is written by Neal D. Barnard, MD, President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. He concludes, "Dr. Fuhrman is foremost in this new generation of medical leaders.  The information he provides in this volume is clear and practical and of vital interest to patients and doctors alike.  I am grateful to Dr. Fuhrman for assembling this remarkable work, and recommend it to you wholeheartedly."


 * Dr. Andrew Nicholson, MD, Director of Preventive Medicine, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, says "Dr. Fuhrman's powerful and practical guidelines apply for conditions ranging from the common cold to serious heart problems. This program provides an alternative to the costly and all-too-common side effects of surgery and drugs."


 * Dr. James Craner, MD, says, "This is neither alternative medicine nor conservative medicine, but rather progressive medicine. Dr. Fuhrman's approach offers individuals suffering from chronic diseases the only real chance for a meaningful cure.  I have been fortunate to observe many of these outcomes firsthand and can testify to the power of this approach for certain diseases."


 * Dr. Dan Jeret, MD, says, "If you are lucky, you will read Dr. Fuhrman's book before you have subjected yourself to medications and medical procedures. This book is for those who want to take charge over their health and well-being, and for those who want to embark on a journey toward a more satisfying life."
