This man's testimony is as important as Dr. Caldwell Esselstyne's. I listened to Dr. Essel so many videos that I have memrized much of what he says - they both REPEAT but it's repetition I need to memorize. Dr. Dean Ornish underscores the same religion as Dr. E - the plant based diet. {He is NOT as strict, 4 one thing, he serves egg whites in his program}- But he explains it from a DEFFERENT PERSPECTIVE & NEW FACTS so I must listen to him again & again, take notes so I will not forget & also be able to share, get more converts, thereby saving lives & happiness. He agrees with Dr. Essel that chronic sickness is mostly ONE ILLNESS - they all have something in common & they do not need MULTIPLE treatments, this treatment HEALS THEM ALL - from heart disease, to cancer, to rhematoid arthritis, to multiple sclerosis, to diabetes, etc. The BODY heals itself when you STOP wrong doing & START the right diet {& lifestyle which includes meditation, regular exercise, & having more love - Dr. Essel does not even talk about that, but Dr. Ornish has a program of 9 weeks that costs 7k to 10k but is REIMBURSED by Medicare & many other insurance plans} - What Dean Ornish is doing is he's giving more confidence & FAITH that I can reverse my heart disease which has gotten serious {even though my diet/lifestyle has been much better than average! But so many things I did NOT KNOW like all oils including olive oil ARE BAD!}& I can therefore finish my work for God without premature death. I can FEEL BETTER - have more ENERGY which I DESPERATELY need - I'll be able to WALK AGAIN I hope & enjoy this 50 acres of wilderness I own, & the island, which I have not enjoyed for years for lack of the ability to WALK far! I'll be able to DANCE again on my feet instead of just sitting down! I'll have more strength for my weight lifting, which keeps my body BEAUTIFUL. And I will not FEAR getting worse & worse until I need a care giver, ugh. They recommended I have OPEN HEART SURGERY where they saw your chest in half, put you on another system instead of your own heart beating - all kinds horrendous invasion, & after that, no guarantee it will work right - many of these operations, including stents, FAIL & they do not INCREASE your chances of living {believe it or not!} longer! If you have any chronic disease or if you want to make sure you don't get one - or you have a loved one who needs help, PLEASE WATCH THIS!
Hopefully it will work wonders for you, God willing. Best of luck 🍀
ReplyDeleteA quick Googling showed that the Ornish diet is somewhat less purist than the Esselstyn diet, though it's largely very similar overall. Both diets I would still say are too restrictive to be realistic for the general population IMHO, but for people like you who are currently battling heart disease or anything similarly serious and chronic, it may very well be the "Hail Mary" that saves your life, God willing. And if anyone can do it, you can, Rasa. I have faith that you will succeed.

Reminder: don't forget to take Vitamin B12 supplements and/or an all-around B-complex vitamin supplement. (You probably already do, but just a reminder.). That particular vitamin is the "weakest link" in any type of vegan diet, but very easily fixed with a supplement.
