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. |

A must have book for all who care about their health- this is The One 
I ordered this book and sent it to all my relatives - that was seven couples, plus 10 nieces and nephews. I have read many books on how to eat properly to feed the body. After reading this one, I can throw all the others away. If we all get with this program, most of our health issues will be solved along with health insurance problems. This book goes into detail on what to eat in order to feed the cells and keep the body tuned to the max. The recipes are delicious, you will never be hungry, and you will automatically lose weight you don't need. Don't walk - run to get this book.

Excellent
I purchased this and The China Study - two books closely related / companions in my opinion. They even talk about each other. The recipes in this book have really helped us eat healthier and I highly recommend this book for a good understand of what heart disesase is and how to prevent it (and how to reduce other illnesses as well). Add a little bit of unrefined sea salt to the recipes and they are delicious. Half of this book is just recipes! It is a very easy read, and very captivating.

Starve Your Heart of Protein 
I wish I had not wasted my time and money on this worthless book. If it has a face, according to the author, don't eat it. That means, no fish, no poultry, no lamb no lean beef or any other high quality protein. My aim was to get away from prescriptions that do not cure a condition, but simply relieves symthoms. However, this book advocates statins to control cholestrol something that I would prefer to do via diet when you consider the many dangerous side effects of drugs especially the statins. When Dr. Esselstyn stated that no oils including Olive oil was good for you, and went on to state that this monosaturated 'heart healthy' oil should be avoided because it contained a small amount of saturated fat, I knew it was time to put down the book and move on to a doctor---preferably and alternative physician---who knew his subject.

Reversing Heart Disease
I found this book very helpful after going through a scary heart experience myself this Christmas and ending up with a stent placement. This book gave me hope and something proven to help to do myself. I enjoy the recipes and eating healthy with the hope my health and heart will improve.

May work - but it's unrealistic 
This book can be summed up very quickly - no meat, no fish, no oil - if you enjoy eating at all, this is not a solution for you. If you are willing to live on fruits and vegetables only, I suppose it probably works.
