In reading on this I realized that no plant that I know of has mitochondria, they get their energy from the sun through the whole chlorophyll process mechanism they are equipped with.

We have no such equipment, obviously. But we do have mitochondria which makes our cellular energy ATP instead. Dr. Wahls discusses that the mitochondria is actually a foreign alien in our body and perhaps it is a symbiotic relationship we have with each other: the mito needs us to live, and ditto. We are seeing what happens when our mitochondria are not doing well.

Is this why people seem to do so much better on a mostly veggie diet, plants which have grown and absorbed sun from seed to harvest? Particularly 9 cups, as Dr. Wahl recommends, three of which (a whopping 1/3) are leafy greens? The healthier our mito are, the healthier we seem to be, and vice versa.

Thoughts?
