A nutrition-based program— backed by powerful evidence from the longest study ever conducted —that will cure heart disease
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in this country for men and women. And while we spend millions of dollars each year developing txeatments, traditional procedures fail patients by focusing only on the symptoms of the disease, not the underlying causes. 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.
The proof is in the incredible results of the patients who have foUowed Dr. Esselstyn s ground-breaking program. The men and women in his twenty-year nutritional study—the most com-prehensive study of its kind—came to him with advanced coronary disease. Despite the aggressive traditional treatment they...

A nutrition-based program— backed by powerful evidence from the longest study ever conducted —that will cure heart disease
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in this country for men and women. And while we spend millions of dollars each year developing txeatments, traditional procedures fail patients by focusing only on the symptoms of the disease, not the underlying causes. 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.
The proof is in the incredible results of the patients who have foUowed Dr. Esselstyn s ground-breaking program. The men and women in his twenty-year nutritional study—the most com-prehensive study of its kind—came to him with advanced coronary disease. Despite the aggressive traditional treatment they received—including bypasses and angioplasti.es—a number had been told by their 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 significandy, and they experienced a marked improvement in blood flow to the heart. Twenty years later, they remain firee of symptoms.
Drawing on the results of this revolutionary study and his ongoing work with patients all over the country, Dr. Esselstyn convincingly argues that plant-based, oil-free nutrition can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but alsó reverse its effects. Futhermore, it can eliminate the need for expensive and invasive surgical interven-tion except in acute emergencies, no matter how far the disease has progressed.

Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease explains the science behind these dramatic results, and offers readers the same, simple plan that has changed the lives of Dr. Esselstyn's patients forever. In addition, the book offers more than 150 delicious recipes de-veloped by Ann Crile Esselstyn, that the Esselstyns and their patients have enjoyed for years.
Clearly written and backed by irrefiitable scientific evidence, startiing photos of angiograms, and inspiring personal stories, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease will empower readers to take charge of their heart health. It is an important call for a paradigm shift in heart disease therapy.
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 Benjámin Spock Award for Compassion in Medicine. Dr. Esselstyn is alsó an Olympic gold medalist in rowing, and he was awarded the Bronzé 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. Vissza
