If you or someone you know is serious about staying healthy,
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Caldwell B. Esselstyn,
Jr., M.D. is for you and them.
I thought I knew just about everything I needed to know about the
prevention and reversal of heart disease – until I read this clearly
written book that gets right to the point with irrefutable scientific
evidence.
Words cannot express how important I feel that this book is for
everyone.
As I sit here writing this, I’m glancing over at the book on my desk.
Here are a couple of quotes from the cover: “The Revolutionary,
Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure”; “Based on
the findings of a now 20-year study first published in the
American Journal of Cardiology”; “With More Than 150
Great-Tasting Recipes.”
“The men and women in his [Dr. Esselstyn’s] twenty-year nutritional
study – the most comprehensive study of its kind – came to him with
advanced coronary disease. Despite the aggressive traditional treatment
they received – including bypasses and angioplasties – a number had been
told by cardiologists that they had less than a year to live. 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.”
Here is some biographical information about the author:
“Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., was a researcher and clinician at
the Cleveland Clinic for more than thirty-five years, where he was a
member of the board of governors and president of the staff. In 1991,
Dr. Esselstyn served as the president of the American Association of
Endocrine Surgeons, and organized the first National Conference on the
Elimination and Prevention of Heart Disease. In 2005, he became the
first recipient of the Benjamin Spock Award for Compassion in Medicine.
Dr. Esselstyn is also an Olympic gold medalist in rowing, and he was
awarded the Bronze Star as an army surgeon in Vietnam.
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.”
