Advance praise for Dr. Dean Ornish''s Program for Reversing
Heart Disease
"Revolutionary results...By the standards of conventional
medicine the impossible has happened. Dr. Ornish''s work could
change the lives of millions." -- Newsweek
"Dr. Ornish''s research offers strong scientific evidence that
lifestyle changes alone can actually reverse the progression of
atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries. These lifestyle
changes can begin to reverse even severe coronary artery disease
after only one year, without the use of cholesterol-lowering
drugs."
-- Claude Lenfant, M.D., director, National Heart, Lung, and
Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health
"This is more than a book on reversing heart disease; it is a
powerful and wise prescription for opening the heart in its deepest
sense. Dr. Ornish''s humanity, wit and integrity shine through on
every page, affirming the best of what medicine has to offer. You
don''t have to have heart disease to be healed through this
extraordinary book and program."
-- Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of Minding the Body, Mending the
Mind
"In his groundbreaking book, Dr. Dean Ornish demonstrates that
even severe coronary heart disease can be reversed. He shows us
that when we begin healing our lives, then our hearts begin to heal
as well. Dr. Ornish shows us what we are all capable of in this
exciting new book. I cannot recommend it highly enough."
-- Bernard S. Siegel, M.D., author of Love, Medicine
Miracles
"Dr. Ornish''s book will be good news for many patients with
severe coronary heart disease. As one of his earliest mentors, I am
very proud of Dr. Ornish''s achievements."
-- Antonio M. Gotto, Jr., M.D., president, American Heart
Association 1984
"Whether or not you think you''ll ever be concerned about your
heart, this is likely to be the most useful book about health
you''ll read this year, maybe ever." -- John Poppy, Esquire
"This is an epochal book. It sets a new standard in our
understanding of heart disease, and it is the template against
which all other books on any disease whatsoever should be judged.
For the purity of the science on which it rests, and for the
majesty of its spiritual wisdom, this book has no equal in the
literature of medicine and health."
-- Larry Dossey, M.D., author, Space, Time and Medicine and
Recovering the Soul
