Table of Contents

Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn has directed pioneering research demonstrating that the progression of even severe coronary heart disease can often be reversed by making comprehensive changes in diet and lifestyle.

Dean Ornish, M.D., founder, President, and Director, Preventive Medicine Research Institute, and author of Dr. Dean Ornishs Program forReversing Heart Disease

A hard-nosed scientist shows us his secrets for successfully cleaning the rusting arteries of so many patientsand it doesnt even hurt.

Mehmet Oz, M.D., coauthor of You: The Owners Manual

Dr. Esselstyn has always been ahead of his time. His focus on the healing powers of proper nutrition on diseased coronary arteries has now proven right, raising another unthinkable notionthat heart patients can cure themselves.

Bernadine Healy, M.D., former Director, National Institutes of Health

This powerful program will make you virtually heart-attack-proof. On the basis of decades of research, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn has shown not only how to prevent heart disease but also how to reverse iteven for people who have been affected for many years. I strongly recommend this important book.

Neal D. Barnard, M.D., founder and President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, and author of Breaking the Food Seduction

Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease provides a practical approach for people to regain their lost health. Considering the worldwide prevalence of coronary artery disease, this book should become the best-seller of all time.

John A. McDougall, M.D., author of The McDougall Program

Dr. Esselstyns eminently successful arrest-and-reversal therapy for heart disease through patient education and empowerment as the treatment of choice will send shock waves through a mercenary medical system that focuses largely on pills and procedures.

Hans Diehl, founder and Director, Coronary Health Improvement Project

Dr. Esselstyns solution in Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease is as profound as Newtons discovery of gravity. Half of all Americans dying today could have changed their date with the undertaker by following Dr. Esselstyns plan.

Howard F. Lyman, coauthor of No More Bull! and Mad Cowboy

If you have heart disease, this book should be essential reading. It could save your life.

Michael F. Jacobson, Executive Director, Center for Science in the Public Interest

Foreword

ONE MORNING IN THE SUMMER OF 1991, I received an interesting phone call from a surgeon at the prestigious Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. He had read a recent New York Times story about our study on diet, lifestyle, and health in China and was interested in our preliminary findings. He invited me to speak at a conference that fall in Tucson, Arizona. His ambitious title for the meeting: The First National Conference on the Elimination of Coronary Artery Disease.

That, in itself, was intriguing enough to persuade me to accept. But I also was impressed by the fact that this Dr. Esselstyn had secured the participation of many well-known heart specialists, including Framingham Heart Study director William Castelli and Dr. Dean Ornish, who had recently gained considerable recognition for his work showing the possibility of reversing heart disease through changes in diet and lifestyle. This conference would be challenging, to say the least. In my own academic environment, it was startling enough at the time even to mention a tenuous association of diet and heart disease. But the
