Slaying the Paper Tiger of Heart Disease with Plant Based Nutrition | PBNOW

[@plantdocspvd]

Dr Esselstyn is the father of reversing coronary disease. He is a role model for physicians and was hugely influential in my decision to leave mainstream medicine and follow my heart to start Plant Docs to help others discover how plant-based nutrition can help prevent and reverse heart disease. This talk is as inspiring as any he has given and ever more so considering how sharp he is at over 90 years of age! PBNOW, thank you for sharing!

[@Jeffs60]

Dr. Wolfgang Lutz was sharp at age 97 on the opposite type of diet. And what about all the other types of cardiovascular problems people can have such as valve disease? Which diet reverses mitral valve regurgitation?

​@@Jeffs60Did you see before and after images of arteries Dr Esselstyn showed? they are remarkable, evidence based. If you have not, scroll forward to the point Dr Esselstyn presentation and watch.

[@Just_forfun9140]

​​@@Jeffs60If you have not, watch atleast from 26:00, see arteries before and after images.

[@Jeffs60]

@@Just_forfun9140 Esselstyn never reversed anything in any human else he would have awards, honors or a Nobel Prize. He also was never a Cardiologist. He has a book accredited by nothing and in that book the artery image is from his colleague Dr. Joe Crowe a general surgeon who at age 44 had a heart attack even though he was slim, a non smoker, not a diabetic, no high blood pressure and had low total cholesterol of 156 mg/dL. So Esselstyn debunked himself because Crowe had all the metrics for preventing heart disease but could not explain why it happened. He changed the Crowe diet to less animal foods but if animal foods caused the problem why did they not raise his cholesterol level high like Esselstyn says they will. Ask Esselstyn why the TV show my 600 pound life has people in their 40's and 50's over 600 pounds that can barely move but no heart attack yet. Why didn't they get a heart attack and have their organs shut down when they were only 475 pounds?

[@Jeffs60]

Please explain how these slim and fit long term non smoking Chinese vegetarians with low total cholesterol levels and taking no medications with a BMI of 22 ended up hurting their cardiovascular health. 2005 article "Vascular Dysfunction in Chinese Vegetarians: An Apparent Paradox?"

[@patrickholland3994]

One of your best presentations ever. I enjoyed the many before and after angiograms and case studies. I skipped to min 26 to get right to Dr Esselstyn.

[@noellecuisine8912]

What a lovely presentation from everybody!!! And probably one of the most beautiful and complete presentation from Dr Esselstijn!! Warm regards from the Netherlands to you all we are on it and we love it !

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

Dr. Esselstyn, I love you and admire you. Thank you for sharing this huge knowledge. I am heart patient (71), after heart attack and open heart surgery, still trying to switch to plant base diet. I am doing fine and getting better by the day. Bless you.❤

[@0000asdfasdf0000]

Thank you for this amazing interview from the legend himself.

[@lisengel2498]

I like the video explaining how to restore the blood flow - and the new knowledge of the importance of chewing green leafy vegetables to restore the bone marrow to make the endothelial cells to make nitric oxide - the list with the top six was: kale, Swiss chard, spinach, arugula, beet greens,, beets - but a little bit later he mentioned the full list so fast that I could not understand what he said … but I heard book Choi, Swiss chard , kale, collard, mustard green,cilantro, parsley, asparagus ( green asparagus?) ….. or something like that 🙃🍀💚

[@WildIronInc]

Eating a bunch of vegetables is surely a lot better than eating ice cream cakes and Reese's pieces. Keeping the glucose and insulin down is definitely a big part of the puzzle. What wild mammals experienced clogged arteries from eating other mammals and other mammals eggs? Do Serengeti Lions and Alaskan grizzlies have heart attacks from clogged arteries? How about bald eagles?

[@Just_forfun9140]

Meat eating animals probably are built differently, and they are not eating cheese burgers, drinking milk shakes.

[@k.h.6991]

We're primates. We're not built to eat too much animal foods.

[@billdublewhopper3064]

Actually they do. Autopsies from zoo animals and wild animals like lions and tigers show coronary artery disease

[@cherylcastillo7020]

Species appropriate diet.

[@4everhdt]

I want to see a randomized control trial of an organic Whole Foods plant-based diet versus an organic Whole Foods animal based diet(carnivore/ketovore/Saladino). The recent 'twin study' and documentary was designed to produce a pro vegan result and they conveniently forgot to do the dexa scans looking at muscle mass, etc and then said 'oh it was too expensive to do that' when they had the funding of millions of dollars from Impossible Foods( study funding is another red flag)

[@billdublewhopper3064]

Look at pre 1980 China vs modern China coronary artery disease rates

[@harvinderubhi5540]

Get your facts right about the missing dexa scans in the study you mention.

[@tammywade3649]

I'm on a weight loss journey. I'm 60 and currently weigh 214 pounds. My highest was 268. My goal is 150. I've been eating 2 plant based protein bars and 1 meal replacement shake a day, about 600 calories. Lots of water. But I'm so bloated and have terrible gas and constipation. Can you give me suggestions.??? The bars and shake are pea and rice protein. No Cow bars, and Garden Of Life Organic plant meal replacement powder.

[@crystalriver7772]

Lots of water, good stomach enzymes like Source Naturals, maybe add some fresh vegetables and such. Protein bars are still processed. Just some ideas…..🙏calories sound very low. Be careful long term. I’m not giving medical advice…

[@Scor-ah]

Eat some salads, with sprouts, greens, peppers, tomatoes, celery, carrots, broccoli, cabbage...all really low calories but so good for rebuilding your body and getting rid of the constipation due to poor microbiome. There are loads of good dressing recipes that are super low calorie on Jane and Anne Esselstyns you tube channel.

[@AlexiHolford]

Real food is better than bars. Why you are relying them for your main food? Also, 600 calories is far too low. Your body will go into starvation mode.

[@willemhaifetz-chen1588]

Yep the bars also contain starch which acts like fast sugar

[@truelove7751]

Thoughts on Chrondroitin sulphate and glucosamine pills? Does this have any adverse effects on the heart? Wondered if this could help with my shoulder/joint pain.

[@philliparogers3087]

The only thing that bothers me about affordable plant based diet is the direction of commercial agriculture to adopt pesticides and GM CROPS to gain higher levels of profit with less regard of public health. God help us all if the food supply is in the control of profit hungry corporations.

[@BonnieHelms-m4b]

I don’t buy gmo. I wash all veg/fruit in baking soda.

[@heidiedwards7819]

Locate farmers markets in your area, many fresh food by mail options becoming available (my local butcher shop carries locally grown produce)

Wouldn’t the leafy greens give you more benefits than just the nitric oxide? A pill can’t compete

[@eutectoid1]

Oxalates, phytates, lechtins...no vit B12... why would I want to eat anything else?

[@Just_forfun9140]

My understanding is bacteria in the gut makes Vit B12 in animals and humans, lack of this bacteria could cause deficiency. As for oxylates, etc I am still figuring out, maybe by cooking, these molecules break apart.

[@k.h.6991]

Yes, on a completely plant based diet, you will need to supplement B12. Beyond that: Research shows that people eating whole foods plant based are healthier. Apparently that list is not as important as you think. What you should worry about is all the saturated fats and cholesterol you're consuming with every bite of animal based food. You're also missing out on phytonutrients and fiber, if you're eating like every body else.

[@billdublewhopper3064]

Carnivores are b12 deficient also. Explain that

[@niranjanpaul2176]

Does not matter. You wont bother.

[@eyewano1088]

My gut cannot handle a plant based deit. Cannot handle any kind of fruit, whole grains, seeds or plant based milks. Cannot handle most vegetables or legumes. But it's okay with meats and eggs so I've stuck with these for my protein along with organic root foods and decided to go completely organic as I feel I have no other option.

[@davie2983]

LOL Sure. Wha every you say.

[@angelsplace]

I'm figuring out my diet regimen so I must be doing something right bcuz tube sent me here. So far I'm on HALO FoDMAP Healthy American Local Organic And low Fodmap, an acronym for foods that ferment in the colon too quickly and can cause cancer. I just gave up avocado so a bit depressed.

Oxalate only hurts if one already has a weakness in the kidney. Dr. Brooke Goldner REVERSED her end stage kidney failure eating only cruciferous veg, a little fruit and other veg, vegan-sourced omega-3. She was dying at age 16 of lupus caused kidney disease and other stuff.

Why do all vegans need to take supplements and look sickly with pale looking skin? You are what you eat, right? You may be able to survive on a plant based diet, but it doesn't seem like people really thrive eating just plants. I know when I limit my diet to just plants, I start having various health issues again. Especially autoimmune, gut, and respiratory issues. When I tried the carnivore diet, all those issues disappeared. Maybe I'm just not meant to be a plant eater. 😕
