The Most Effective Nutritional Programs Are Similar

It is easy to see the similarities among the diets with documented cardiovascular benefits. All of them are very cautious with the use of oils because of their caloric density. More olive oil in the diet is associated with more weight gain and obesity.27 Even back in 1965, a study demonstrated that heart patients given olive oil and corn oil had a higher risk of heart attack and death rate than the control group with a lower-fat diet.28

Modern studies have confirmed that more of these (omega-6) oils in the diet is associated with higher mortality from heart disease.29 Is there a level of oil that may be permissible and still allow disease reversal to occur to the 90th percentile level? Maybe, but that level likely needs to be very small, such as less than 1 teaspoon a day (40 calories), not likely a tablespoon, as allowed in the standard DASH diet. And if you want more security that reversal will be most effective and offer the most protection, then eliminate all the oils and limit fat exposure to whole foods, such as seeds and walnuts.

There should be no controversy that reducing animal products and increasing the amount of natural plant foods in the diet can revolutionize our health-care system, end the expensive and invasive coronary artery treatments of stenting and bypass surgery, and save millions of life years.

The common denominators of all diets shown to reduce heart disease deaths are clear. I might not be right about everything, but I study this emerging science every day. In addition, the accumulated evidence of the past one hundred years attests to what is now an avalanche of information supporting the conclusions given here.

A Nutritarian diet has been shown to dramatically reverse diabetes, eliminate high blood pressure, solve the problem of food addiction and overeating, and help people take back control of their health destiny. It has enabled thousands of people to restore their failing health after facing the most serious, life-threatening illnesses possible, and this has not been limited to heart disease. Superior nutrition prevents cancer, and I have used it for more than two decades to reverse headaches, asthma, allergies, frequent infections, diabetes, and serious autoimmune diseases that conventional medical authorities consider irreversible.

In my twenty-five years of medical practice as a family physician advocating superior nutrition, I even have seen cardiac patients who could barely walk go back to living a full, vibrant life. Nutritional excellence is not just powerful medicine; it restores and saves lives where conventional cardiology cannot.

Of the many hundreds of cases demonstrating dramatic reversal from the most serious degree of heart disease, I have observed many people whose plaque burden was undetectable within a few years. Generally, the numerous people who have followed my recommendations to the letter, and have had their plaque measured, have seen massive reductions in plaque even within year one.

I doubt that most people, even health-care professionals, will stop going to fast-food restaurants, swear off white flour products and soda, or cut their animal product consumption by 80–90 percent.
