Product Description
Dr. Dean Ornish is the first clinician to offer documented proof that heart disease can be halted, or even reversed, simply by changing your lifestyle. Based on his internationally acclaimed scientific study, which has now been ongoing for years, Dr. Ornish's program has yielded amazing results. Participants reduced or discontinued medications; their chest pain diminished or disappeared; they felt more energetic, happy, and calm; they lost weight while eating more; and blockages in coronary arteries were actually reduced.In his breakthrough book, Dr. Ornish presents this and other dramatic evidence and guides you, step-by-step, through the extraordinary Opening Your Heart program, which is winning landmark approval from America's health insurers. The program takes you beyond the purely physical side of health care to include the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects so vital to healing. This book represents the best modern medicine has to offer. It can inspire you to open your heart to a longer, better, happier life. |

The best, and here's why-- by Samuel Chell (Kenosha,, WI United States)  5 Stars
September 25, 2009
Of all the "alternative medicine" heart books out there (or at least the five best-sellers that I've read), Ornish's is still the most complete, up-to-date, sensible and safe. Esselstyne's, which is currently in the number one slot in sales, is practically the same except slightly more "radical" (he prohibits oils of any kind--whether fish, flax, soy). It's simpler to read, briefer, and more current (probably accounting for its popularity), but for the most part it's a stripped-down version of Ornish's book, even following the same organization (advice plus lots of recipes). Ornish's program has the advantage of giving consideration to factors other than food and exercise as a therapeutic measure, and is the more "philosophic."
Here's the problem with some of the other books--by Sinatra, Ignarro, etc.: They prescribe the consumption of vitamins, supplements, pills and powders in megadoses that are not proven to be without side-effects which, for some individuals, can be draining and stressful in themselves. I know people who can't tolerate probiotics, ginseng, S-ame, goldenseal, grapefruit seed oil, and any number of the recent supplements that are sold simply on the basis of one "expert's" say-so, the cooperation of all the vitamin manufacturers, and without FDA approval. To ingest the quantities of CoQ-10 and d-Ribose recommended by Sinatra or the 4 grams of d-Arginnine plus Citrulline required by Ignarro (in addition to 5 to 10 other "essential" supplements) is to invite a certain amount of discomfort and grief before any of the advertised effects might be noticed. Indeed, to follow these recommendations is to trust that the medical "establishment" is completely ignorant of the wondrous powers of these supplements or determined to make us over-tax the health care system more than is already the case.
Lord knows, the FDA, or organized medicine, has slipped up its share of the time, has been overly slow to approve some measures, overly hasty in other cases. But to demonize them as some sort of vast conspiracy intent upon keeping us all feeling unwell is, however much of a therapeutic placebo to some, an insult to common sense and logic. In fact, these health evangelists--going back to Adele Davis and Linus Pauling--prescribe as much from the perspective of belief, faith and theology as caution, wisdom, and science.

Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease by Jeffrey Christopher 5 Stars
April 27, 2009
My cholesterol was 270. My doctor wanted to prescribe drugs to lower the reading. I found Dr. Ornish's book and followed the 10% low fat diet strictly. In six weeks by cholesterol declined to 192. My weight dropped from 200 pounds to 185. I could not believe how much better I felt. I have more energy and I have as much strength as before. I am never hungary because I eat all day long. My diet consists of primarily fruits, vegtables, beans, rice whole grains, no fat yogurt egg whites and no fat milk. I would not have believed it if I had not done it.
Additionally you will be amazed at how much fat there is in all of the processed food most Americans consume each day. My advice is to try it for 6 weeks. If you do not have good results then go back to your prior routine. Only your health is at stake.
I would urge you to take control of your life by changing your lifestyle through diet, exercise and stress management. Dr. Ornish writes so anyone can understand his philosophy. Try it because it works.

interesting by Dennis C. Pond  3 Stars
April 05, 2009
A very dry reading. For anyone serious about changing old habits it's a good book. It;s dated as there;s a lot of new data, medicine and procedures since it was written.

Wonderful but difficult by Julie (Illinois)  4 Stars
February 27, 2009
Dr. Ornish's program is great for people who are serious about getting healthy. His program is clinically proven to reverse heart disease and eliminate the need for medications. However, it requires a lifestyle change. It is not always easy to stick with the program 100%, but it is well worth trying.
