Dr. Ornish is the first doctor to show that heart disease can be reversed. He also points out basically that Americans die of degenerative diseases heart disease and stroke, prostate, breast, and colon cancer the big three and a host of other diseases such as multiple sclerosis, pancreatic cancer, rheumatoid arthritis. He includes a large number of vegetarian recipes. It is the way to go if you want to die of old age. Seems less radical than sawing one's chest open.

I thought the book had some good information in it.. I bought it because my Dr recommended that ,if I wanted to improve my health that I use this information.. The book is a little outdated and doesn't have info about some of the newer products available. I believe that he is releasing another book soon and I would bet that that one would be more updated and have more useful information.. But until it is released this one is at least a guide to beginning the health improvements.. The key is doing what is recommended... Over all I thought it was useful and passed it on to family when I finished it...
Book has a lot of info in what causes heart disease how to prevent & even reverse it. Mostly I like the recipes Dr. Ornish included. They were very helpful in helping to get started on eating the right foods.

I love this book! Everything in it makes sense. It is an older book, but it doesn't matter. Everything that he says was good back then and is still good now. Heart disease runs in my family, as well as diabetes, but even if it didn't, just the amount of fat I have eaten over my lifetime scares me enough to take my health seriously. I AM lucky to be alive and I would like to stay that way. This is a great book, I would recommend it to everyone.
good sensible info-only issue I have is some of the test is so TINY!! Love the menus and recipes--
