Caldwell B. Esselstyn, JR., M.D., was a researcher and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic for more than thirty-five years. In 1991, he served as the president of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons and organized the first National Conference on the Elimination of Heart Disease. In 2005, he became the first recipient of the Benjamin Spock Award for Compassion in Medicine. Dr. Esselstyn and his wife, Ann Crile Esselstyn, have followed a plant-based diet for more than twenty years. They work together to counsel patients in Cleveland and at the farm in upstate New York where Dr. Esselstyn grew up.
“One of the most outstanding projects in health research of the
past century. It's relevant, it's caring, it's innovative, it's
extremely well executed and it's very, very useful."
—T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., author of The China Study
“Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn has directed pioneering research
demonstrating that the progression of even severe coronary heart
disease can often be reversed by making comprehensive change in
diet and lifestyle.“
—Dean Ornish, M.D, founder, president and director of Preventive
Medicine Research Institute and author of Dr. Dean Ornish’s Program
for Reversing Heart Disease
“I highly recommend Dr. Esselstyn’s book.”—Kathy Freston, author of
Veganist
“Dr. Esselstyn has always been ahead of his time. His focus on the
healing powers of proper nutrition on diseased coronary arteries
has now proven right, raising another unthinkable notion—that heart
patients can cure themselves.”
—Bernadine Healy, M.D., former Director of the National Institutes
of Health
“A hard nosed scientist shows us his secrets for successfully
cleaning the rusting arteries of so many patients - and it doesn't
even hurt.”
—Mehmet Oz, M.D., coauthor, You: The Owner’s Manual
“Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr., is certainly the father (and the
mother) of the now proven hypothesis that you can reverse severe
arterial disease (including severe disease of the arteries supposed
to nourish your heart). He proved that radical changes in diet (and
that alone) cause radical changes in the age and disease of your
arteries—and that you can make your arteries much younger. So even
if you only want to try this plan five days a week, this book is a
must purchase because of its great recipes that spice low fat plant
based food to high taste—you may even want to enjoy (and know I am
using that word specifically and as intentionally as the proposal I
made to my wife 33 years ago) the recipes all 7 days."
—Michael Roizen, M.D., coauthor of YOU: The Owner's Manual and YOU:
On A Diet. The Owner's Manual to Waist Management
"This powerful program will make you virtually heart-attack proof.
Based on decades of research, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn has shown not
only how to prevent heart disease, but how to reverse it-even for
people who have been affected for many years. I strongly recommend
this important book."
—Neal D. Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for
Responsible Medicine, and author of Breaking the Food Seduction
"If you have heart disease, this book should be essential reading.
It could save your life."
—Michael F. Jacobson, Executive Director, Center for Science in the
Public Interest
“Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease provides a practical approach
for people to regain their lost health. Considering the worldwide
prevalence of coronary artery disease this book should become the
bestseller of all times."
—John McDougall, M.D., author of The McDougall Program
“Dr. Esselstyn’s solution in Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease is
as profound as Newton’s discovery of gravity. Half of all Americans
dying today could have changed their date with the undertaker by
following Dr. Esselstyn’s plan.”
—Howard F. Lyman, author of No More Bull! and Mad Cowboy
“Dr. Esselstyn's eminently successful arrest-and-reversal therapy
for heart disease through patient education and empowerment as the
treatment of choice will send shock waves through a mercenary
medical system that focuses largely on pills and procedures.”
—Hans Diehl, Founder & Director of the Coronary Health Improvement
Program (CHIP)
