The Spectrum By Dean Ornish: How To Reverse Heart Disease
Can chronic disease be reversed?
Absolutely.
Today, I'm going to introduce you to my friend and colleague, Dr. Dean Ornish. Thirty years ago, he bravely made the radical suggestion that heart disease, cancer, and other chronic illnesses can be reversed with diet and lifestyle changes.
