Product Description
Dr. Dean Ornish is the first clinician to offer documented proof that heart disease can be halted, or even reversed, simply by changing your lifestyle. Based on his internationally acclaimed scientific study, which has now been ongoing for years, Dr. Ornish's program has yielded amazing results. Participants reduced or discontinued medications; their chest pain diminished or disappeared; they felt more energetic, happy, and calm; they lost weight while eating more; and blockages in coronary arteries were actually reduced.
In his breakthrough book, Dr. Ornish presents this and other dramatic evidence and guides you, step-by-step, through the extraordinary Opening Your Heart program, which is winning landmark approval from America's health insurers. The program takes you beyond the purely physical side of health care to include the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects so vital to healing. This book represents the best modern medicine has to offer. It can inspire you to open your heart to a longer, better, happier life.

Dr. Dean Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease July 30, 2008
For the most part, this is an excellent book. However, some of the text is a bit too medical to be easily understood. Dr. Ornish from time to time seems to forget he's writing for lay people and not doctors or dieticians.
The diet itself is very restricted. No fat or meat. While this is a fine ideal to strive for, in the American diet pantry, I don't think it's altogether realistic. I followed the diet for a month and felt weak and exhausted every day. To be entirely honest, I found the diet rather boring.

This is a great book. Everything everyone should know to add extra years to their life. Very well written and a book that we can all understand.
The Logorrhea Diet April 5, 2008
Yikes! What is about Dr. Ornish that makes reviewers run on so? I've never read such long vehement, screeds, pro and con. We bought this book to help us lower a slightly elevated "bad" cholesterol and tryglyceride problem in the family, and it has done that. IMHO, recipes contain a little too soy for post-menopausal women, but an informed reader need not work in a vacuum. Use common sense and modify the diet as needed. Add cold water fish, for example. Expect a good outcome even if you adopt only 80% of Ornish's menu.
Excellent book..... March 24, 2008
I wish I had followed this book when I had my first heart attack in 1989. It's good, well-written, easy to understand. Highly recommend it.
