In this breakthrough book  Dr. Dean Ornish presents the first scientific proof that it is possible to actually reverse heart disease without drugs or surgery.  Dr. Ornishs internationally acclaimed scientific study  funded in part by the National Institutes of Health and based on thirteen years of research  has yielded astonishing conclusions: Heart disease can often be halted or even reversed -- without bypass surgery  angioplasty  or cholesterol-lowering drugs -- simply by changing our life-style.  Participants in Dr. Ornishs study  all of whom had severe coronary heart disease  followed his extraordinary Opening Your Heart program with amazing results: their chest pain diminished or disappeared; they often were able to reduce or discontinue medications; they felt more energetic  happy  and calm; they lost weight while eating much more food; and in most cases the average blockages in their coronary arteries began to reverse. In fact  the more severely blocked arteries showed the most reversal. In contrast  the coronary blockages of most of the patients who followed their doctors recommendations became worse instead of better.  Dr. Ornish presents the dramatic evidence from his study and guides readers step-by-step through the Opening Your Heart program  which combines a special Reversal Diet (featuring over 150 delicious  all-you-can-eat recipes from such culinary stars as Mollie Katzen  Deborah Madison  Wolfgang Puck  and Alice Waters); a Prevention Diet; meditation; visualization; communication skills and other stress management techniques; and advice on how to stop smoking and how to exercise safely and moderately.
