    "Having a heart attack was the best thing that ever happened to me," as Dean Ornish relates some patients' comments to be. Yep. Totally true for me. A blessing in disguise, leading me to life changing and life affirming shifts in diet and behavior, and leading me to appreciate the value of ALL life, including cows and pigs and chicks. Who knew? :)

    Gen129 - Indeed ... except that I don't think he's fully embraced living a vegan lifestyle, last I heard. Maybe he's progressed (I hope, for his sake), but he described eating a diet without meat, dairy, eggs, or oils as an unpleasant hardship, which it really doesn't need to be. It's actually a win/win!

    Gen129 - Good to hear. I hope he can get to actually being vegan, beyond just 100% plant based, as I think the ethical aspects of veganism are a reinforcing anchor to the health benefits of eating a plant based diet. Same with the environmental aspects. Anyway, glad he's still on track health-wise!

    Vitally important stuff. Dean Ornish saved my life with his book on reversing heart disease, which I read after having a heart attack 6 years ago. Literally changed my life in a major way. This man is a genius, with his ability to look outside mainstream patterns of belief and thought, and to explore that objectively and scientifically. Thanks Mic and Dean!

I live with CHF - it is not cured like I once though, but I have lived with it for 10 years (my father died of it at age 58 in 1983), and this heart disease is totally controllable by everything I choose to put in my mouth!!! We all can cure, reverse, control and prevent disease in ourselves - education is power and health is wealth!!

    What’s also great about this discussion is that it debunks racist myths against Native/Indigenous health and health of minorities in oppressive systems. So many American doctors that come to Hawaii have an ingrained racist practice to the point of telling us Hawaiians “oh, you’re just prone this or that condition because you’re Hawaiian.”, and so many here take that entirely UNSCIENTIFIC and overtly racist comment (or practices) as absolute truth.
