Product Description
A powerful call for a paradigm shift in heart disease therapy.

Based on the groundbreaking results of a twenty-year nutritional study by Dr. Esselstyn, a preeminent researcher and clinician, this book illustrates that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease but can also reverse its effects. The proof lies in the incredible outcomes for patients who have followed Dr. Esselstyn's program, including a number of patients in his original study who had been told by their cardiologists that they had less than a year to live. Within months of starting the program, Dr. Esselstyn's patients began to improve dramatically, and twenty years later, they remain free of symptoms.

Complete with more than 150 delicious recipes, this book explains the science behind the simple plan that has drastically changed the lives of Dr. Esselstyn's patients forever. It will empower readers to take control of their heart health.

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.
