medicine the impossible has happened. Dr. Ornish’s work could
change the lives of millions.”—Newsweek
“Dr. Ornish’s research offers strong scientific evidence that
lifestyle changes alone can actually reverse the progression of
atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries. These lifestyle
changes can begin to reverse even severe coronary artery disease
after only one year, without the use of cholesterol-lowering
drugs.”—Claude Lenfant, M.D., director, National Heart, Lung, and
Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health
“This is more than a book on reversing heart disease; it is a
powerful and wise prescription for opening the heart in its deepest
sense. Dr. Ornish’s humanity, wit and integrity shine through on
every page, affirming the best of what medicine has to offer. You
don’t have to have heart disease to be healed through this
extraordinary book and program.”—Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of
Minding the Body, Mending the Mind
“In his groundbreaking book, Dr. Dean Ornish demonstrates that even
severe coronary heart disease can be reversed. He shows us that
when we begin healing our lives, then our hearts begin to heal as
well. Dr. Ornish shows us what we are all capable of in this
exciting new book. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”—Bernard S.
Siegel, M.D., author of Love, Medicine & Miracles

coronary heart disease. As one of his earliest mentors, I am very

president, American Heart Association (1984)
“Whether or not you think you'll ever be concerned about your
heart, this is likely to be the most useful book about health
you'll read this year, maybe ever.”—John Poppy, Esquire
“This is an epochal book. It sets a new standard in our
understanding of heart disease, and it is the template against
which all other books on any disease whatsoever should be judged.
For the purity of the science on which it rests, and for the
majesty of its spiritual wisdom, this book has no equal in the
literature of medicine and health.”—Larry Dossey, M.D., author,
