Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure

In Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., a former surgeon, researcher, and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic, challenges conventional cardiology by posing a compelling, revolutionary idea-that we can, in fact, abolish the heart-disease epidemic by changing our diets.

Drawing from his twenty-year nutritional study-the most comprehensive study of its kind-Dr. Esselstyn convincingly argues that plant-based, oil-free nutrition can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but also reverse its effects. The proof is in the incredible results of the patients who have followed his groundbreaking program. The men and women in his original study came to him with advanced coronary disease. 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, they remain free of symptoms.

Offering the same simple plan that has changed the lives of his patients forever, the book includes 150 delicious recipes developed by Ann Crile Esselstyn that the Esselstyns and their patients have enjoyed for years. Backed by irrefutable scientific evidence, startling photos of angiograms that show reversal of the disease, and inspiring personal stories, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease will empower readers to take charge of their heart health.
