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 readers and give them the tools to take control of their heart health.

"This book saved my life. I accidently stumbled upon Dr. Esselstyn's research and recommendations when I was bed ridden with severe blood pressure which was getting worse by the day and I knew that it was just a matter of limited time before I expire. I was 52 years old then. I started the change recommended here in this book. Today, I am on no medicine today. I have lost 18 kgs but the most important fact is that my body composition report says 18% total fat, 9 % visceral fat, and 30 years internal ageing - consistently. These facts do not lie so anyone with heart problem, close your eyes and embrace Dr. Esselstyn's wisdom. I am not particularly religious but I would still say " God Bless Him " !"

- This book saved my life. I accidently stumbled upon Dr. Esselstyn's research and recommendations when I was bed ridden with severe blood pressure which was getting worse by the day and I knew that it was just a matter of limited time before I expire. I was 52 years old then. I started the change recommended here in this book. Today, I am on no medicine today. I have lost 18 kgs but the most important fact is that my body composition report says 18% total fat, 9 % visceral fat, and 30 years internal ageing - consistently.

- This is my first review on .
I just turned 51. I have exercised since our first gym membership in 1978. I have worked out extensively. I have 2 bikes I ride regularly. I have a gym in my garage, with pull-up tower and padded floor and TV/DVD player. I have eaten what I thought was a healthy diet. Take vitamins every day. In other words, I was in pretty good shape and thought I was OK. On April 8, 2013, I had just finished exercising. I felt like I really needed to eat. Ate some greek yogurt and strawberries. Still didn't feel right. I laid down with a fan blowing on me. I felt overheated. I noticed a slight numbness in my left arm. Strange. Swallowed an aspirin. Noticed my arm was a little more numb. Chewed an aspirin. Then, I thought to myself "If I don't get off of the floor, I may never get up". Told my wife to take me to the new heart hospital, conveniently located about 1 1/2 miles from my house.
45 minutes after walking into the ER, I was being wheeled into my room with 2 stents installed. Wake up call.
The Cardiologist said that in my main artery, towards the center of my chest, I had 100% blockage. He cleared that and put in a stent. Then, below that blockage was a 70% blockage. Cleared and stent. In the other main artery, on the other side of my heart, there is 50% blockage. He can't put in a stent because it's too dangerous. Have to clear it with diet. I tell you all of this to give you the back-story.
I went to and looked for books on cardiovascular disease. I found this book. My wife and I read the reviews and decided to give it a try. The results have been amazing! Today, we have been on a plant-based diet for 4 weeks. A lot of these reviews will tell you to just try it for a month. Good advice. Just do that and see what happens.
Here are my cholesterol numbers. My numbers from the first day at the hospital are 4/08/13. Last week, after 3 weeks of the plant diet, I had my blood tested again. That was 5/28/13.
Total Cholesterol- was 271, now 120, should be under 200, or 150 to be heart attack proof.
LDL or bad cholesterol- was 206, now 68, should be under 100.
Cholesterol/HDL ratio was 5.2, now 3.2, Men 5.0 is average.
Triglycerides-was 81, now 90, should be under 150.
I have lost 11 pounds in 4 weeks. My wife has lost 8 pounds. She has had IBS all of her life. Since we started the plant eating lifestyle, she doesn't have stomach aches anymore. She used to have them all the time. Our energy levels have never been better. My mind is sharper than ever. You feel so much better, lighter, cleaner. It's hard to describe. Now, after a night's sleep, we wake up feeling like we slept, instead of waking up tired.
A friend of mine watched the Forks Over Knives documentary with his parents and they all decided to try it. His Dad has been diabetic for a long time. At the start of the plant diet, his blood sugar was 253. After one week of plant eating he dropped 120 points! Last week, after 2 weeks of plants, his blood sugar was 96! He has never had it that low.
Get the book. Read it. Watch Forks Over Knives. Follow the guidelines. Tell your friends. It works Yesterday my Cardiologist said that I am doing so great that he doesn't need to see me for 6 months!
I hope this helps you with your decision.
Todd - Five stars from me for critical information, recipes, and value. I've gone plant based since my doc decided he wanted to put me on a statin. I told him I wanted to research statins before I agreed to take his prescription.
It didn't take much research to realize that one of the last things I would take is a statin. I suggest you do your own research concerning this scary med.
I decided to change my diet to correct the high cholesterol. My doc said that I couldn't correct the problem via diet because I can't lower my age. Mmmm. So does that mean that everyone my age who has elevated cholesterol levels needs to take a statin? I certainly hope not -- because the side effects of statins are dangerous. Again, do your own research.
Using the information in Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, I now eat a plant-based diet, which I've been on for a couple of months now. My rule of thumb is this If it had a mother and a father (beef, chicken, turkey, fish, etc.), I don't eat it. If it came from something that had a mother and a father (eggs, cows'/goats' milk, etc), I don't eat it. Again, do your own research.
Since I've been eating plant-based foods only -- and there's a LOT to choose from -- my blood pressure has dropped, I've lost about 14 pounds, I sleep far more soundly, my thinking is clearer, I have more energy, etc. I will have to have a blood draw to check my cholesterol levels, but my guess is that it's down too.
BOTTOM LINE Buy this book. It could improve your health.
UPDATE I've now lost 20 pounds, and another blood draw revealed that my cholesterol level has dropped 30 points. My doc now says to keep doing whatever I'm doing. Bravo for plant-based eating!
