About me:

I'm Ray Sammartano, a long-time vegan, writer, musician, computer geek, animal lover, and increasingly hairless primate. Many fellow vegans (and others) are familiar with my partner Beverly Lynn Bennett's amazing vegan recipes (yes, I'm aware that I'm a lucky vegan). In 2005, we wrote The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vegan Living together. It's the first book on veganism put out by the publishers of any of the major "how to" series of books, including the "For Dummies" and the "Everything" series. We just finished another book for the Idiot's Guide series, this time on Vegan Cooking (due out in August 2008). If you are in need of some advice or info regarding any aspect of living or eating as a vegan, don't hesitate to contact me. I'm passionate about compassionate and healthy living, and I'm eager to help.

The scurvy-heart disease connection?

Much time remains, but this may be the discovery of the century!

Get your free copy of Dr.
Rath's book, Why Animals Dont Have Heart Attacks But People Do here in our group at eradicating heart disease

Take care,
