Dean Ornish: Healing through diet

Dr. Ornish should be nominated for the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology! He nailed the root cause of so much heart disease and how to prevent it!

It all works.  I had angina, could barely walk my dog.  I had lower back pain, knee pain, memory problems, edema, fat below the skin, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, border line glucose, ED and I did not lead a sedentary lifestyle (endurance athlete, national class) but when I hit my late 40's, the house of cards started crashing in on me.  I saw "Forks over Knives" movie and tried vegan diet.  After just 4 months, angina symptoms disappeared.  After 1 year all my issues disappeared.  Then I went back to an omnivore diet.  Gained a ton of weight, symptoms started returning, freaked me out.  Switched back, never going back.  Back in good health, lost the weight, now walking and hiking 10+ miles per day, excellent muscle tone.  Feel great.  Firm believer.  It works.  Don't live to eat, eat to live.

This video is the one that gave me hope that I could improve my cholesterol etc and helped me lose 100 pounds! After being on this change in eating lifestyle the Doctor suggests for a while, I no longer had blood sugar problems or cholesterol problems! It really worked! And it is so simple. It was worth exchanging bad foods for healthy ones! And I did start to feel better even after 1 week! It was a lifesaver for me! 👍

Whether you agree fully with Ornish or not on dietary details the man comes from a heartfelt/compassionate & humorous place.

loneliness and depression vs. connectivity and love ... it makes sense. good talk.

Its outstanding. I am a dietician and did not know many things he is talking.

He is not obese. He talks fast because he has a 40 minute presentation and about 17 minutes to present it. Read the China Study by Dr. T. Colin Campbell.

The guy who first got us thinking this way. Caldwell Esselstyn was also on-board, but hadn't yet published his study.

Amazing how Dr Ornish explain so accurately all the issues that we have very encouraging !

I love it! A 30 minute presentation done in 17 minutes. 😁 It helps to be intelligent and highly articulate!

Dr. Dean Ornish had suffered through Nervous breakdown in his teenage. He was doing nothing that just staying in home. Then he learned som Yoga from his sister n within 15 days he felt so fresh that he gave the exam and became a doctor then after.

I'm glad this research is finally coming into mainstream view. A really good talk.

An excellent talk by a proven expert in lifestyle medicene and nutrition. "Medical science is only in its infancy, yet it has shown that our natural food is that which grows out of the ground." - 'Abdu'l-Baha, Bahá'u'lláh & the New Era

Iam so thankful to people who really care in a meaningful way you are one Dr Onish. Wisdom is only Godly given.

TED videos are fantastic!

Dean is the Man!

Excellent presentation, it is very exciting to see the increasing scientific pool of data growing in this field. Now if we can just get the insurance companies to see that they'll save money!

If one thing that gives me hope...is this talk!!!!

I appreciate how Dr. Ornish highlights the importance of making healthy lifestyle changes accessible and affordable for everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status. I believe increasing access to healthy lifestyle changes for everyone will be the key to improving health in our society. This underlines the role both beneficence and justice have in the health of our society.
