Product Description
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.

5 out of 5 stars Amazingly good and interesting analysis as well as a great cookbook!   January 2, 2009
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Went in to the doctor a few months ago because of some chest pain. Was diagnosed with "muscle strain," but generally know what sore muscles feel like. That wasn't it.

Decided to do a bit of reading on my own, so I stopped at Powell's Books and perused their cardiovascular / hearth health / hearth disease section. Came across this book, and skimmed it. Was immediately hooked and decided to purchase and read it more thoroughly. I'm glad I did. It was quite enlightening. I ended up re-reading it in part or in total a couple more times. Tried several of the recipes from the latter half of the book and they were quite good. The recipes are generally low-sodium and as non-fat as possible.

I suggest reading this book, and then also taking at look at Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook and Cleveland Clinic Healthy Heart Lifestyle Guide and Cookbook. While the recipes in Veganomicon are not necessarily non-fat, many of them can undoubtedly be adapted to reduce or eliminate much of the fat, in line with Dr. Esselstyn's advice to keep fat intake to under 10% of total calories.

I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone interested in hearth health, living a long time or suffering from the beginnings of heart disease. While it may require a change of diet / lifestyle, it may be possible to get your life back. This book is based on a multi-year study of several patients who started out the program with severe coronary disease and were able to halt or reverse the progression of the disease by embarking on a non-fat, plant-based diet regimen. The study was based in part on the groundbreaking book The China Study, which "examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer."

I'm not a vegan (political or otherwise), but am generally in favor of a more plant-based diet with low fat intake (after reading this book). Not going to go completely nutso about it, or join the vegan cult though.



5 out of 5 stars The answer for escalating health costs   December 29, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Great book containing the information many of us needed years ago to prevent most of the commonly accepted diseases that we chose to have because we didn't choose wise food habits years ago. Very readable with plenty of documentation for the wise advice contained. It contains the answer to escalating insurance and medical costs in our country. Should be a "must read" for individuals and families. Should be read a followed by everyone on Medicare before any money is paid out! J. Howard Sprague, D.D.S.


4 out of 5 stars Peanut butter is unhealthy?   December 27, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I enjoyed this book but can only follow it most of the time.
For instance, Dr Esselstyn says that nuts are unhealthy. But there are
many studies that indicate that they reduce cholesterol. These studies
can't all be by nut companies. Good book, but I will continue eating
my PB&J!



5 out of 5 stars Lowered my LDL   December 24, 2008

I followed the rules of the diet in this book and my LDL went from 135 to 95.


5 out of 5 stars Outstanding - my cholesterol dropped 30% in 5 months   December 23, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this book a few days after Tim Russert's death and my 1 year old daughter's birthday. With a cholesterol number in the 280's and with heart disease in the family, I was pretty much resigned to my eventual fate. What could I do? This book explains that and has helped me understand the science of CVD. Now I am in control of whether I will fall victim to CVD - my cholesterol is down 30% and I have lost 30 pounds in 5 months. To top it off, I feel great. I've wanted to go running for the first time in ages. The advice in this book is life-changing. For those that think it is too strict - it's not, especially when the alternative is surgery or death. As Dr. Esselystn points out, sudden death is the first sign of heart disease for 30% of people. For me, there is no going back. Thank you Dr. Esselstyn.
