What Is Behind a Heart Disease?

More people die of heart attacks than from all other causes of death combined, including cancer, AIDS, infectious diseases, accidents and homicides.

In 1990, Dr. Dean Ornish at the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues, published an article in the prestigious medical journal Lancet, titled: 'Can lifestyle changes reverse coronary heart disease?' The response to which was a clear-cut: 'Yes'. Over a period of one year, most heart patients put on Ornish's special program; reported that their chest pain had virtually disappeared; in 82 per cent of the cases clogged arteries had cleared without any surgery. 

  

Consider a story reported by a patient in Dr Dean Ornish's book Program for Reversing Heart Disease. Bob Finnel, 53, had been diagnosed as having two totally blocked coronary arteries and a third that was 79 per cent blocked. In addition, he had suffered a silent heart attack.

Several cardiologists suggested a bypass surgery. Advised a concentrate on fresh fruits and vegetables, Bob was able to bring down his cholesterol level from 232 to 128 in a few months. He lost weight, felt fit and energetic, and underwent important mental and emotional transformation.

"After a year, my angiogram showed the blockages in my coronary arteries were beginning to reverse. And the PET scan showed that the blood flow to my heart was much better. And not only to my heart—my sex life has improved a lot."

This was the first time that scientifically accepted proof has been offered to show that heart disease can be halted or even reversed simply by changing one's eating habits, taking exercise and changing the way one thinks.
