Ron et al:

 

Congratulations on finding out about Dr. Dean Ornish's program.

 

10% of calories from fat worked for me for reversing my heart disease.? It

wasn't easy as I did not influence many of my friends to do the same nor was I

quiet about my lifestyle changes.? Perhaps if I had been more confident to stand

alone and do what I needed to do and not worry about others the transition could

have been smoother socially.

 

His program also eliminates alcohol and refined sugar. Which benefited me

greatly also.

 

I say it worked for me because I was able to reduce my total cholesterol from

240 to between 130-150.? What I remember is that having a total cholesterol of

less then 150 for 5 years or more just about eliminates the risk of strokes or

heart attacks. At least, according to the Framingham, MA long term study.? It

also say it worked for me because I was able to later in life take up (in my

late 50's) sports like gymnastics and tap dance that I was unable to do even as

a 'teen'.? Shooting chest pains to my arms stopped and rapid, straining heart

beating during or after exercise stopped in just 3 years after starting the

program.? It did take me 14 months to prepare myself for starting the program

and I took it one day at a time.

 

When I switched to raw foods the fat content of my diet jumped way up (about 8

years into the Ornish program).? Yet after 6 months on a high fat raw diet my

cholesterol dropped to the lowest level I have ever had? 120.? They even did it

a second time (for free) to verify because the nurse thought she may have made a

mistake.? She had no interest is what I had done to lower my cholesterol but she

was disappointed that the number was too low for her to offer more services to

me.

 

Actually, from what I have read is most American children 2-4 years old have

visible plaque deposits in there arteries and have " heart disease'.? This is

visible when doctors perform surgeries.? In the 1960's it was first visible in

the American teens in Vietnam.

 

My motivation to go vegan and then raw foods was a cancer scare.? Apparently

that also worked as no further symtoms after 7 years.

 

Hope this info helps.

 

Bless you!

 

Bill
