I've read quite a few books on the subject, and this is the best I've seen. It includes everything from the technical to the practical (including recipes). The author writes clearly...it was relatively easy to read considering the subject matter. I loved that he didn't say "you should never eat______." It can already be so overwhelming to make changes. This book has a lot of information, but I didn't feel overwhelmed. I was actually ENCOURAGED, not discouraged by reading it. I wish I had only bought this book...it's all I needed, and I would have saved a lot of money! I highly recommended it.

I was very disappointed in this book. I thought it would have some of the treatments that Linus Pauling instigated. All it gives you is advice on your diet. I have that from my Doctor!

I found this book helpful - the diets great - the advice about other life factors good - and it gave me an over-all education about all the different treatments now being used. The book seems logical and simple. It makes good sense.
Of course, like most people I bought this book when I was already in trouble with the old heart.

Although a pessimist could say that this is a low key ad for Dr. Whitaker's Wellness Institute, which in small part it is, the book provides a balanced view of just what causes heart disease and provides sobering thoughts on the fact that there is no "magic pill" or clear cut way to attack the problem. Differing views are presented and the background for such, although not clearly articulated in the book itself, is provided via the references so that the reader can further explore if more details are desired. The recipes section is somewhat of a waste of print but other than that I found the book very helpful in aiding in an understanding of heart disease and the array of possibilities for treating it. The book also pretty clearly delineates between a "preventative" program and a "reversal" program, dependent on one's personal situation and goals.

How can you really know whether coronary heart disease is truly being reversed? Does just surviving until your subsequent birthday suffice? Does not developing symptoms tell you anything? Does even losing 10 lbs really tell you whether coronary plaque has shrunk?
The answer to all these questions, of course, is no. In past, it hasn't been an easy prospect to prove that heart disease is reversed. It's therefore an easy thing to claim. As a result, many programs cropped up in the last 30 years of the last century that made extravagant claims to reverse heart disease. I believe that Dr. Whitaker's well-intended book is among this genre.
The book has its strong points. Dr. Whitaker does a great job of pointing out the terribly misguided approach of conventional invasive cardiology and bypass surgery, its tragic overuse and abuse, and how so-called medical therapy is nothing more than palliative treatment for a relently progressive disease. He also does a good job of discrediting the conventional low-fat diet approach to heart disease prevention, a diet that frequently precedes your heart attack and diabetes.
I do believe, however, that there's much more of the story yet to be told and Dr. Whitaker's book falls short.
