Heart disease is the American
killer. In 2008 it caused 25% of
all deaths – that’s 616,000 people who died at the mercy of their own failing
heart. The yearly medical cost to
treat heart disease is over 100 billion. Before I go any further, it should be said that if you have heart disease, you need to remain under the
supervision of your doctor. But - and this an important but - there may be some things you need to know, things your doctor may not be aware of. It’s generally thought, even among many health care professionals, that there is no
real cure for heart disease. But
is that true? If you or someone
you love has heart disease, are you really just waiting to die?
In 1990, Dr. Dean Ornish, a medical doctor, conducted a
groundbreaking study that showed you can actually reverse cardiovascular
disease naturally. Dr. Ornish
found by eliminating smoking, and making real changes in your diet and
exercise, you can have a significant decrease in chest pain, a decrease in
cholesterol levels, and a decrease in arterial stenosis – also called hardening
of the arteries. Note what he found: his program didn't just halt the progression of heart disease - it reversed it. Dr. Ornish was
the first to demonstrate that not only is there an alternative to our invasive,
traditional cardiology, the alternative might actually be superior.
Following this study, Dr. Ornish
published a mouthful: Dr.
Dean Ornish’s Program for Reversing Heart Disease: The Only System Scientifically Proven to Reverse Heart
Disease Without Drugs or Surgery. Don’t let the title put you off – the
book is very accessible, written for lay persons. It contains numerous recipes and is laden with practical
steps for killing America's #1 killer.
A few years after Dr. Ornish’s study, another doctor tackled
and even greater hurdle. Dr.
Caldwell Esselstyn, a Surgeon at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio took 17 pts with
advanced heart disease and implemented a change in diet and exercise. Most of these patients had such sever
heart disease that they’d been given less than 1 year to live. Incredibly, within months of
implementing Dr. Esselstyn’s program, every single patient saw a dramatic
decrease in chest pain, cholesterol levels, and increase blood flow. For the next decade there was not one
single major cardiac event. Dr.
Esselstyn’s study continued for 20 years, with staggering results.
As a cardiologist, he argues that conventional
cardiology has failed to appropriately treat heart disease – ultimately to the patient's demise. The problem, he contends,
is that the traditional approach focuses on the symptoms, or the effect of
heart disease, rather than the underlying cause. He published a book called Prevent & Reverse Heart
Disease. It offers a simple, nutritional based program that anyone
can implement. I highly recommend it.
The point is, you don’t have to live in fear. You do not have to be a slave to your
heart disease. With the proper
supervision and proper lifestyle changes, you can reverse heart disease and take
control once again. Always remember that health is a choice.
