Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease: The Only System Scientifically Proven to Reverse Heart Disease Without Drugs or Surgery

Dr. Dean Ornish was the first person to offer scientific proof that heart disease often can be halted or even reversed simply by changing your diet and lifestyle. Based on his internationally acclaimed scientific studies, Dr. Ornish’s program yielded amazing results. Participants often reduced or discontinued medications; their chest pains usually diminished or disappeared; they felt more energetic, happy, and calm; they lost weight while eating more; and the progression of blockages in their coronary arteries was often reversed.

This book is for anyone who wants to be healthier and happier, not just for those with heart disease. Dr. Ornish’s research focused on reversing heart disease as an example of how powerful changes in diet and lifestyle can be, but these simple choices may improve the quality of life for everyone.

In this breakthrough book–now completely revised and updated with all the latest medical findings–Dr. Ornish guides you step-by-step through his extraordinary program, which won landmark approval from America’s health insurers and is now covered by Medicare in a milestone demonstration project. He shows how to customize a diet and lifestyle program that’s just right for you. Taking 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.
