Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr.'s Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, based on his twenty-year nutritional study, challenged conventional cardiology by proving that plant-based, oil-free, nut-free nutrition can not only prevent and stop the progression of heart disease, but actually reverse its effects.

Hundreds of thousands of readers have changed their lives and heard the message the Esselstyn family has lived by for years: Your health is truly in your own hands, and what eat matters.

'This is a great cookbook for treating and reversing heart disease as well as a wide variety of other ailments and diseases. So hear the whisper of your heart and so it a favor.

Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, and Karen Campbell, director of the Center for Nutrition Studies

'From childhood, the litany of 'eat your vegetable' was drummed into me, sometimes literally. Sixty-four years later, I meet the Esselstyns, and they say 'Eat your vegetables, but eat them raw or cooked with no oil!' What?! But, I tried it. It's truly amazing what the things I already liked really tasted like. Even more amazing: the number of plant-based creations that are possible. I won't go into the gigantic health benefits that came my way, but I will say that thirty lost pounds and an infinite number of compliments later, I'm more than happy. I hope you'll treat yourself to one of these recipes and just open that door. I guarantee you won't close it!' Samuel L. Jackson
