Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease

The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure

By: Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr. MD, T. Colin Campbell - foreword

Narrated by: Fred Sanders

The New York Times bestselling guide to the lifesaving diet that can both prevent and help reverse the effects of heart disease

Based on the groundbreaking results of his twenty-year nutritional study, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn illustrates that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent the progression of heart disease but can also reverse its effects. Dr. Esselstyn is an internationally known surgeon, researcher and former clinician at the Cleveland Clinic and a featured expert in the acclaimed documentary Forks Over Knives. Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease has helped thousands across the country, and is the book behind Bill Clinton’s life-changing vegan diet.

The proof lies in the incredible outcomes for patients who have followed Dr. Esselstyn's program, including a number of patients in his original study who had been told by their cardiologists that they had less than a year to live. Within months of starting the program, all Dr. Esselstyn’s patients began to improve dramatically, and twenty years later, they remain free of symptoms.

Complete with more than 150 delicious recipes perfect for a plant-based diet, the national bestseller Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease explains the science behind the simple plan that has drastically changed the lives of heart disease patients forever. It will empower listeners and give them the tools to take control of their heart health.

Critic reviews

“One of the most outstanding projects in health research of the past century. It's relevant, it's caring, it's innovative, it's extremely well executed and it's very, very useful."—T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., author of The China Study

“Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn has directed pioneering research demonstrating that the progression of even severe coronary heart disease can often be reversed by making comprehensive change in diet and lifestyle.“—Dean Ornish, M.D, founder, president and director of Preventive Medicine Research Institute and author of Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease

“I highly recommend Dr. Esselstyn’s book.”—Kathy Freston, author of Veganist

“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 notion—that heart patients can cure themselves.”—Bernadine Healy, M.D., former Director of the National Institutes of Health

“A hard nosed scientist shows us his secrets for successfully cleaning the rusting arteries of so many patients - and it doesn't even hurt.”—Mehmet Oz, M.D., coauthor, You: The Owner’s Manual

No Going Back

Fascinating information. Was glad to discover this audiobook... I'd heard of Essy many times over the years as I read & listened to The China Study at regular intervals. It is so amazing to me that Essy found a literal CURE for heart disease and that everyone doesn't know this. Why? Because doctors don't tell you. Why don't they tell you? As one doctor answered Essy when he inquired why the doctor didn't tell his patients: "I billed over five million dollars last year!" If he told his patients, and they were cured, he thought he wouldn't get any more business. THIS is the state of our American healthcare system. THESE are the doctors who took the Hippocratic oath. We must make it our prerogative to take the reins regarding our own health. This book tells you exactly how!!

Time to re-listen to The China Study now :-)

Cholesterol Dropped from 210 to 167 in one week

Never understood the oil/fat connection to cholesterol. This diet works. Lost 4 pounds in 21 days. Eating as much as I want.

The way to nutritional excellence

Great information, I’ve lost 20 pound following the program only 90%!! But plan on transitioning to 100%. Eat your fruits and vegetables, avoid fatty foods and oils, sound simple? It is, but following through does take some dedication.
