CAN HEART DISEASE BE REVERSED

Yes, On the basis of a personal experience, I can say that the heart disease as we commonly know as coronary heart disease can be reversed to certain extent. After suffering third heart attack at the age of seventy, my father  decided total lifestyle revamp as recommended in "Reversing Heart Disease" By Dr Dean Ornish (www.amazon.com/Ornishs-Program-Reversing-Heart-Disease/dp/0804110387 - 287k - ) . This was against the popular advise given by consulting cardiologists who attended him and other renowned specialist who warned him that he may not live long if he does no go for open heart surgery. He however followed following simple steps :-
- Simple fat free and oil free food.
- Regular use of Arjun Bark for first six months after the attack.
- Regular walks of five kilometers twice a day.
- Regular intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Regular yoga and pranayam.
He lived  a healthy and meaningful life for another 06 years without any problems and  carried  on with his disciplined lifestyle. His condition improvement was also evident in two thelium tests that were performed at intervals of six months which showed an improvement in ejection fraction by approx 14%.
