Publisher's summary

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 listeners 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 listeners to take charge of their heart health. It is a powerful call for a paradigm shift in heart-disease therapy.

“Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn has directed pioneering research demonstrating that the progression of even severe coronary heart disease can often be reversed by making comprehensive change in diet and lifestyle."—Dean Ornish, M.D, founder, president and director of Preventive Medicine Research Institute and author of Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease

No Going Back

Fascinating information. Was glad to discover this audiobook... I'd heard of Essy many times over the years as I read & listened to The China Study at regular intervals. It is so amazing to me that Essy found a literal CURE for heart disease and that everyone doesn't know this. Why? Because doctors don't tell you. Why don't they tell you? As one doctor answered Essy when he inquired why the doctor didn't tell his patients: "I billed over five million dollars last year!" If he told his patients, and they were cured, he thought he wouldn't get any more business. THIS is the state of our American healthcare system. THESE are the doctors who took the Hippocratic oath. We must make it our prerogative to take the reins regarding our own health. This book tells you exactly how!!

Time to re-listen to The China Study now :-)

Great read.

This read will help us change the many things that are wrong with our diet now. Will not be easy to implement but I am willing to keep from any stents or bypass.

Exceptional

I am so happy I finally decide to listen to this book, It was the 3 on the nutrition subject I have listened and I will definitely will listening again. All the information in it went straight to my brain. That I am already started to put into practice. And the person who narrated was wonderful a very pleasant voice, thank you.
