Treatment of heart diseases
A breakthrough took place in the history of American Medical Science as well as in the World Medical history on July,1990 at JAMA (Journal of Medical Association) Centre through a historical medical conference, organised by PMRI (Preventive Medicine Research Institute) of America and demonstrated by a young Harvard educated doctor, Dr. Dean Ornish, MD.
In that Medical Conference, Dr. Ornish demonstrated a new concept of curing heart disease. He declared boldly that heart disease could actually be reversed without drugs & surgery.
Although heart disease was the most common cause of death then, and still is, most doctors were not even attempting to reverse the disease.
Doctors & heart specialists believed that the plaques and other substances that clog the arteries to the heart could not go or reverse away. When they got too severe, the patient was sent to the hospital for a bypass or similar treatment. The patient was advised to adopt a wrong diet of lean meat, chicken with the common vegetable oil which is highly content saturated & mono-unsaturated fat, and 2% milk. Unfortunately, with the wrong dietary regimen, heart disease was rarely stopped. It usually went on to gradually kill the patient by another 2nd or 3rd thrombosis(heart attack).
In this revolutionary experiment, Dr. Ornish proved that if a more healthy potent diet was followed along with other lifestyle changes, plaques would not only stop growing, they would actually start reversing or dissolving.. Dr. Ornish and his colleagues have made previous AHA(American Heart Association) style diet recommendations obsolete, although some doctors seem to have missed that massage. Dr. Ornish also demonstrated that diabetes, hypertension or high blood pressure, strokes, arthritis, impotence are related to the same malnutrition problem. These are also reversible by proper healthy diets & changes in comprehensive lifestyle.
Recently, we have started the Reversal Programme for the first time in Bangladesh. We have successfully reversed some cases of heart diseases & diabetes in the last one year.
