Product Description
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease challenges conventional cardiology by posing a compelling, revolutionary idea-that we can, in fact, abolish the heart disease epidemic in this country by changing our diets. Drawing on the groundbreaking results of his twenty-year nutritional study, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., a former surgeon, researcher, and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic, convincingly argues that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but also reverse its effects. Furthermore, it can eliminate the need for expensive and invasive surgical interventions, such as bypass and stents, no matter how far the disease has progressed. Dr. Esselstyn began his research with a group of patients who joined his study after traditional medical procedures to treat their advanced heart disease had failed. Within months of following a plant-based, oil-free diet, their angina symptoms eased, their cholesterol levels dropped significantly, and they experienced a marked improvement in blood flow to the heart. Twenty years later, the majority of Dr. Esselstyn's patients continue to follow his program and remain heart-attack proof. Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease explains the science behind these dramatic results, and offers readers the same simple, nutrition-based plan that has changed the lives of his patients forever. In addition, Dr. Esselstyn provides more than 150 delicious recipes that he and his wife, Ann Crile Esselstyn, have enjoyed for years and used with their patients. Clearly written and backed by irrefutable scientific evidence, startling photos of angiograms, and inspiring personal stories, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease will empower readers to take charge of their heart health. It is a powerful call for a paradigm shift in heart-disease therapy.

 Will change your life March 18, 2010

Got a hint to read this book over five weeks ago... The facts are scary regarding the myths of our nutritional system and what we are doing to ourselves. This book makes it abundantly clear how we must educate and correct our eating habits. A life saving read, clear and concise. Menus for those who need a jump start, and the results just might help save our lives, not to mention insurance problems by becoming healthy and making the right choices for how we feed ourselves.
Finally the evidence I needed to go vegan... February 14, 2010

I read this book after my husband (48 yrs old) had a severe heart attack. He is not overweight, does not smoke or drink alcohol...in good physical shape, no diabetes or high cholesterol. His "risk" was invisible--seems to be inherited from his Philippino heritage. But, this book explained with evidence and science why animal protein is not good for humans. We have changed our diet according to this book and are optimistic about our next medical lab results. Dr. Esselstyn earnestly and sensibly takes on all the food and diet myths today using sane evidence combined with science/biology. I have bought three copies of this book and sent them out to relatives who have heart disease.

I bought this book for my wife who has high cholesterol. She has read it and I'm currently reading it and we both have found it an eye opener in many respects. This book is a must read for many with heart disease or with history of heart disease in their family. We have started the program as outlined in the book and will report back in a few weeks after my wife's cholesterol check.

This is a must read for anyone with heart disease or hypertension. A great plus is the vegetarian recipes, "wow" they are delicious.
Had I read this book earlier, I would have opposed surgical intervention for my mother's heart condition February 2, 2010

In the midst of my 90 year old mother's hospitalization for blocked arteries and damaged heart valve, I was told during the course of my routine semi-annual heart exam that my heart valve leakage had gotten worse and would probably require a valve replacement in 10 years. I had always suspected my condition was diet related but had not found neither the motivation nor the proper guidance to address the problem. When my mother's health condition was providing me the motivation to address my own health problem, I learned from a friend about Dr. Esselstyn's video and purchased his book at the end of December. The book's clear, scientific explanation of the consequences of the modern western diet on the functioning of the heart empowered me to follow Dr. Esselstyn's recommendations to the letter. The results have been nothing but dramatic. My blood pressure has stabilized. I have lost cravings for food. I lost 20 pounds. I have gained control of the functioning of my body and my health. I have been following his diet now for one month since early January and I am looking forward to my next visit with the Cardiologist at the end of this coming March. I am confident that by continuing to follow the advise prescribed in Dr. Esselstyn's book I will be able to reverse the damage that years of a diet rich in oils and animal protein has brought about. I like to thank Dr. Esselstyn for writing an easily read book of utmost relevance to thousands of individuals all over the world suffering from a health condition caused by a lack of understanding of the basic rules of a proper diet.
