Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease: The Only System Scientifically Proven to Reverse Heart Disease Without Drugs or Surgery Paperback – 1 Feb. 1992

Bought this book for my mother as she is struggling with health issues in her late 50s. It is packed with very good information for a start, and will also look to getting Dr. Esselstyn's book very soon as well. Hope she will make good use of this wealth of knowledge! It is a shame we are not taught these things at a very young age, in our families or the educational system. Sadly there is little incentive doing so and will be met mostly with backlash in mainstream society. Attitudes are slowly changing however, and it is up to the younger generations to be the light forward in making the societal and cultural impact around nutrition and health that's sorely needed more than ever. Heart disease is not inevitable; prevention and reversing these diseases is doable if you really want it.

This book I heard about it while attending a lecture in Auckland Newzeland.One of cardiac patient stood up and said it is my bible.This lecture was in a church hall attended by cardiologist,psychologist.patients.Went to library in Auckland asked about the book ,they did not have it but they ordered it for me for 17 NZ dollar.This was in 1996.I was interested as I have familial high cholesterol.Fallowed the program of reversing heart condition for three weeks.Cholesterol dropped from 7.4 to 4.8 meqper L.Did blood tests before and after the experiment on my self but the liver enzymes raised to double the figures before the experiment.This book is the first book which gave me hope that we could control all our illnesses by healthy life style including diet ,exercise,relaxation dealing with stress ,accept what we get no rat race .This book I recommended for all people who are interested in their health.I gave it as present this time for a friend .I have thousands of books but the first book is the republic by Plato and second to it is this book this book was recommended by me many times for people.Once a minister of health in middle east wanted to borrow it I refused to give it as this book is more important than the minister.The price in WH smith is 14 pounds.All my neibours bought it.

Once diagnosed with blocked or partially blocked arteries most people will imagine its time to write the will. Dr. Ornish shows this does not have to be the case. He shows how changing your lifestyle both by diet and outlook can, if followed dilligently, actually reverse the condition that a thoughtless lifestyle brought on in the first place.The book also contains many many recipes which uses American names for a lot of the foodstuffs which leaves most British readers baffled. Not surprising as it was written for an American market. Yet there is enough there for non-Americans to be able to follow. I recommend this book and not just for those who have been diagnosed with blocked arteries but for anyone who wants to stay healthy.

Bought this book for my son, who at 22 has been diagnosed with heart disease. Whilst the hospital insists on drugs, whilst conveniently forgetting to tell you about all the side-effect, my son has decided to look at alternatives to improve his heart function. This is a good informative book with recipes and key points to improving your health. He now feels he has someone on his side that feels the same way about drugs as he does. Time will tell but he would recommend this book if only to improve your lifestyle.

Book is in good condition which was better than expected.

Although this book is now slightly out of date as regards current scientific thinking on cholesterol, it still has some very interesting views on meditation and how this can help in reversing heart disease. Well worth reading

brought for a friend and he says it is a very interesting book. He had a heart attack and has read about half dozen books and is now recovery. This was one of them. He says the approach is very strict especially the diet and newer books have given different information, I guess a happy medium is the approach my friend has taken taking into account all the information he has gathered from various books that were written at different times. This is a must for anyone who wants more information about recovering from heart disease. It is very informative and my friend said it taught him a new way of looking at his condition and is recovering well without all the drugs the hospital and doctors gave him.

Dr Ornish is very sensitive and his generosity of spirit shines from the pages. This is one of the most informative books I have ever read. If all doctors were like Dean Ornish the world would be a very much healthier and happier place. I can never thank him enough for sharing his knowledge and expertise. He will have changed many thousands of lives, not just from a physical perspective, but a spiritual one, too.

Actual book worth a gem, Book size and font size can be increased for ease of reading,

LÓGICO E INTERESANTE SU MÉTODO, TOMANDO EN CUENTA QUE NUESTRA SALUD ES RESULTADO DE UN CONJUNTO DE VARIANTES Y NO SOLO UN MEDICAMENTO

Very long and too small print

Je m'attendais à quelque chose de bien mais ce livre m'a surpris car il fait le lien avec d'autres domaines. La méthode ne se limite pas à des conseils d'alimentation et d'activité physique !À recommander et à offrir à vos amis.

Easy to understand with so much knowledge and information to help someone with heart disease. I bought this for my mom and she had utilized it in helping with lifestyle changes
