What’s CHIP?
CHIP is an educationally intensive
lifestyle intervention program with
more than 40,000 graduates worldwide. Founded and presented by Dr. Hans
Diehl, and endorsed by the Physicians’ Committee for Responsible
Medicine (PCRM) and the Center for Science in the Public Interest
(CSPI), both headquartered in Washington, D.C., the CHIP program
focuses on markedly reducing coronary risk factor levels through the
adoption of better health habits and appropriate lifestyle changes.
The
goal is to facilitate disease reversal by lowering blood cholesterol,
triglyceride and blood sugar levels by reducing excess weight, lowering
high blood pressure, enhancing daily exercise, and by eliminating
smoking.
Risk factor levels are carefully assessed before the
educational intervention begins, immediate following the completion of
the 40-hour educational program, and again after three and 12 months.
The results have been published in the American Journal of Cardiology
(1998) and the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine
(2002).

non-profit, disaster response team which believes in uniting our
communities through Help, Hope and Healing. ACTS primary objective is
to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the midst of disaster, carrying
out His ministry of healing through first addressing basic physical
needs of disaster victims, while also attending to their, all too often
over-looked and neglected, psychological, emotional and spiritual
healing. Jesus illustrated what He said was one of the two greatest
commandments: “...love thy neighbor as thyself” (Luke 10:27), through
the story of the Good Samaritan, then charges us to “...go then, and do
likewise (Luke 10:37). |
