#  World Vegetarian Congress 1996 - Nutitionists and Dieticians

**Nutitionists and Dieticians**
 Pictures and Comments from the Cybercafe

 What a wonderful conference! Vegetarianism is alive and well and growing stronger than ever!

Our Institute of Nutrition Education and Research is conducting the Vegan Health Study to help characterize the health of vegans and learn how to optimize the vegan diet for each individual. Participation requires diet questionnaire to be completed and sample of urine, saliva and blood to be submitted. All information kept anonymous, and you will receive a copy of all test results. To be part of this landmark study contact the Institute of Nutrition Education and Research, 1601 N. Sepulveda Blvd, #342, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266.

**Michael Klaper, M.D.**
*International lecturer, radio host, author, director of comprehensive vegan health study in the USA, health director of Royal Atlantic Health Spa.*

We're having a wonderful time! Wish you were here.

Presently, I'm coordinating the Healthy School Lunch Program for Dade County (Miami), sponsored by EarthSave. I'm very involved in our EarthSave Miami group as well. I used to coordinate the Vegetarian Studies Program at Miami-Dade Community College for 5 years, teaching there too. My daughter has been raised her entire 8 years as a vegan, which has been extremely rewarding. I'm thrilled to be at this conference to share Healthy Lunch information!  **Cynthia Cowen**   *Nutrition consultant, former director of Vegetarian Studies at Miami-Dade Community College.*   Miami, Florida, USA  ![[Dianne H. Abraria]](https://ivu.org/images/legacy/history/congress/wvc96/dianne_abraria.jpg)Founder of the Corpus Christi Area Vegetarian Society. Full-time graduate student in dietetics. Member of the Vegetarian Nutrition Dietetics Practice Group of the American Dietetics Association. This is my first time at Summerfest, and I am enjoying it a great deal. I have learned more in the last week than in an entire semester of "traditional" nutrition classes! I am looking forward to a dietetics practice where I can share with others the joy of vegetarian eating! My husband, Job, is here with me. We are newlyweds -- two and a half months! -- and met through our mutual activism for animals, the poor and the promotion of vegetarianism.  **Dianne H.

Gerry, a former health educator at a major metropolitan hospital, contracted a life-threatening ovarian cyst when a doctor put her on Premarin. (Note:75% of women on estrogen therapy develop growths.) Extensive research, study and work with the handful of health care luminaries across the world who prevent/reverse acute and chronic diseases without drugs or surgery, enabled Gerry to heal herself through fasting and nutrition. Ray eliminated severe sinus and prostate problems. Health is the only true wealth, and they want everyone to be wealthy.  **Gerry Coffey**   Decatur and Huntsville, Alabama, USA  ![[Carl V.

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly.  Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value.  \- Hits: 1486    ###  Vegan Recipes   \- [![Another Spanish
