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.
Caldwell B. Esselstyn, JR., M.D., was a researcher and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic for more than thirty-five years. In 1991, he served as the president of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons and organized the first National Conference on the Elimination of Heart Disease. In 2005, he became the first recipient of the Benjamin Spock Award for Compassion in Medicine. Dr. Esselstyn and his wife, Ann Crile Esselstyn, have followed a plant-based diet for more than twenty years. They work together to counsel patients in Cleveland and at the farm in upstate New York where Dr. Esselstyn grew up.

11/18/2009: I haven't read this book yet but i have heard my friends were talking about this book and they were quite amused by this book. It was a problem for me to find this book from any reliable source. Then I find out about books like these from a very cool fat burning newsletter that is free and filled with great tips. If you want to get the free newsletter just do a web search and type burn fat 8924561, you will see the newsletter web page come up....enjoy!!

08/10/2009: This is a cookbook, a diet plan of sorts, and an inspirational explanation of why it works. The pictures of heart-disease reversals are straightforward for those who aren't readers (even though its an easy read), so it's a great gift for someone who doesn't like to read but is concerned about heart disease. Or put it on the coffee table when they visit. The basic premise is eat a vegetable/fruit diet that is oil, dairy and meat free; so I wanted/needed the inspiring stories, picures and recipes to help me stick with it until I began to feel and look better. Cheaper than statins, the price of a steak dinner and lasts longer. Hopefully, we will all last longer after following the strategies outlined in this book.
