Natural Defense Mechanisms and Downside of Current CAD Therapies

[@panosgamithis8868]

I wish I had found this in 2015 when I had my first stent from a M.I. incident... Now it's 2022 and I have an untreatable %80 blockage... I have ordered Dr. Esselstyn's book and will follow it to the letter... ..."HERES HOPING IT GOES WELL"...

[@Will00110]

Other people have had 80% blockage and repaired there endothelium have hope!

[@panosgamithis8868]

@@Will00110 Thank You for that... I've already lost 7kgs. on my Esselstyn diet , and plan to live another 20 years , at least..!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@MatthewAbendroth]

@@panosgamithis8868 Hope you are doing well one year later. Dr. Dean Ornish is another big name in this space, similar to Esselstyn, who has proven that a whole-food plant-based diet combined with exercise can REVERSE your heart disease. Keep it up

[@drhamdaankhan3691]

Being a researcher and a general practitioner and endocrinology trainee , being ba sportsman and tennis professional player ,I totally agree with this gentleman and I studied and worked alot on nutrition and diet.)))

Do you think that you can stop strokes with his diet?

[@Gigi-z3z]

Always so interesting & knowledgeable. I can listen to Dr. Essie all day! What an accomplished man in many areas of life!

[@nickhanley9392]

No one is going to believe another 100% on everything but this man comes darn close in my book!

[@dillardnorg]

After checking out His credential's, and T Colin Campbells, I'm at 110%. I'm 66yrs old. On March I came as close as you can get to a Heart attack. They placed a stent in to stop what was fixing to be a heart attack. Within 3 days' after I found Dr Esselstyn and have been eating per his suggestions, and as of today, I'm off all meds and feeling great.

Remember, his research subjects were told to go home and prepare to die because their heart disease was SO bad. That’s enough to make most any intelligent person 100% compliant.

[@johnb4183]

Ed Dillard Did you buy his book , which one ? Thanks

[@martykerns3802]

@@johnb4183 My understanding is that Dr Esselstyn has only one book, which is Reverse and Prevent Heart Disease. It’s a good one to own but it is widely available in US libraries. His wife and children have also written support books, decent books but are not as scientific nor as compliant as the Dr Essy’s book. Mine is dog-eared and falling apart. :)

Thank you Grazie infinite Dottore.

I am very concerned re my endothelium because of 14 years of strongly prescribed with emotional responses to my complaints of glucocorticoids as puffer for asthma which was developed post prolonged treatment with it for an allergic response and post menopause. Now using Intal and dhea and recovering.

[@sonnyburnett2417]

I'm confused by all of the conflicting information on nutrition and CVD online. I would ask this though; if plant-based diets protect you from arterial plaque (and even reverse it), why do vegetarians till have heart attacks and strokes?

[@MatthewAbendroth]

Great question. Board-certified lifestyle medicine and family medicine doc here. It's not just "plant-based" that protects. Oreos and french fries are vegan, and ice cream is vegetarian; same with countless more food-like products that people gobble up. Processed ultra-palatable foods ruin your palate for the subtle flavors of whole, natural foods, thus reducing intake of health-promoting foods; they cause obesity and liver disease, and are pro-inflammatory and oxidizing; and cause insulin resistance, and through those mechanisms, they also cause coronary artery disease. "Plant-based" isn't enough. The diets in the studies by Esselstyn and Ornish and so forth are whole-food plant-based diets, with the emphasis being on WHOLE FOOD, ie, unprocessed. Eat clean, unprocessed foods exclusively and you are 80% of the way there just by doing that. It can be challenging getting enough protein on a whole-food plant-based diet (Dr. Gregor recommends mixing lentils in your overnight oats --no thanks) and there is no one diet perfect for everyone. Don't stress about it too much. Start with just eliminating all processed foods beyond the most minimal level of processing, like unsweetened soymilk, for example, is just water and soybeans, which does remove a lot of good fiber from the soybeans, but it's a great way to boost your protein intake for people who eat whole-food plant-based. I could go on but I'll stop there. Good luck sorting it all out, there is a ton of information, much of it conflicting, in the nutrition space. Start with basics.

[@kbkesq]

Love this presentation. One thing comes to mind given the trend of eating only 1-2 times a day. Seems you could irritate the endothelial tissue once lee day with an animal based meal but if that were your only meal wonder if that would be much healthier.

[@martykerns3802]

Healthier than what? Healthier than eating animal products at every meal, yes. Healthier than eating no animal products, no.

How can Cleveland Clinic promote these non-evidence based therapies?

His father died in his late 60s, and he's now less than a week away, from 86. If you'd like some more family history, youtube 'Processed People Extended Talks'. And then scroll thru to the 12 minutes from Caldwell Esselstyn.

I asked my home service nurse about nitric oxide and told me not to take it & to Continue my prescriptions. I ordered nitric oxide online and would like to try it. Will I take it before taking my prescriptions? Aoerta Dissection 2018. 73 yrs old. Had high bp and now low BP/heart rate and last stage of heart failure.

[@betzib8021]

Nitric oxide is a gas and cannot be put in a pill. Eat the greens...especially arugula.
