Have something to contribute?

  Hi,

  I live in Princeton NJ.

  I asked my Moms (Ivy League Trained) Cardiologist the other day about the Dean Ornish Program for reversing Heart Disease and how we can get my Mom enrolled.

  He looked at me like I was crazy !

  He said he never heard of it and it does not exist in NJ. Is that true?

  Can you refer me to a program in NJ. My Mom is on Medicare and also has secondary insurance.

  Thank you very much.

  Denise

  Dear Dr Ornish, I am currently waiting to get your book from the library. I am 68 years old and raising my 2 grandsons (6 & 8), and sometimes it can get hectic around here to say t least. But I try to get them involved in sports (they take karate, one is playing basketball f t school and the other will start a league at t YMCA this month). I have always tried to eat healthy , lots of fruits and vegetables , but I know I can do a lot better. I love rice but can’t seem to cook that brown rice where it is edible. Any solutions? I would like some direction on mindful meditation. This has intrigued me. I have a thyroid condition and take 50mcg of Levothyroxine. But I also take 5000 in of D3, 50 mg of B-50, calcium with magnesium, phosphorous, n vit d and Ocuvite for Adults 50+. I belong to t y and try t go 3 x a wk to walk their indoor track, for exercise I do yoga ( sun salutation is my favorite), and I like the total gym because u pull your own weight (about 119 lbs). I would appreciate any insight or help you can offer. Sincerely, Barb

  I am a 60 year old Veteran from Milwaukee, who’s had two strokes (almost 95% recovered), and two months ago had a minor Heart attack….I go to the V.A here in Milwaukee. I was advised that I need a Double Heart by-pass, because two of my Veins are 90% clogged. This will happen on February 5th…. I have a strong family hx of heart diseases with my Father dying of a AMI at 39, and a brother dying of a AMI at 46….My younger sister two years ago had a triple bypass….I want to live….Im worried about my upcoming Double bypass..I don’t feel I will make it….but if I do , I want to follow Dr. Ornish’s plan for reversing heart disease. Can you give me advice….
