*Not even olive oil (monounsaturated), explained by Dr. Esselstyn in the video below. Long and short term
study show that there is no difference in CAD progression between olive oil other monounsaturated oil and saturated oil such
as butter. Beside, olive oil also implied as causative factor for breast cancer.
"NO OIL! Not even olive oil, which goes against a lot of other advice out there about so-called
good fats. The reality is that oils are extremely low in terms of nutritive value. They contain no fiber, no minerals and
are 100% fat calories. And above all they contain saturated fat which immediately injures the endothelial lining of the arteries
when eaten. It doesn't matter whether it's olive oil, corn oil, or any other kind of oil. You should not consume any oil if
you have heart disease. This is so important I have detailed oil in Chapter 10"32

3. MODIFIED PROGRAM?
The low-fat and vegetarian diet of Drs. Ornish and Esselstyn provided the evidences that
heart disease could be reversed with intensive diet therapy. (6, 7)
Inflammation as a causative factor for atherosclerosis
including CAD is proven. So, it seem logical to treat inflammation or other causative factors such as well.
It is also well proven that intensive diet, exercise and relaxation therapies are all individually anti inflammatory
(20, 21).
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION TO FOLLOWING FOODS, NUTRIENTS & MEDICINES:
a) Nuts, seeeds & omega 3
b) Nitrous oxide (NO) & L-Argenine
c) Pomegranate
d) Resveritol
e) Vitamins: C, D, E & K
f) Magnesium, calcium & potassium
g) Coenzyme Q10
h) L-Lysien & L-Proline
i) Decaffeinated green tea
J) Aspirin & statins
h) ED drugs: Cialis (tadalafil), viagra (sildenafil citrate), levitra (vardenafil),
taxin (vardenafil),exdex (alprostadil) and yohimbine.

NUTS, SEEDS & OMEGA
3 They are heart protective diets.
Strong evidences are arising that a high-nutrient dense food such seeds and nuts may reverse heart disease quicker (along with intensive vegetable diet therapy).
(8, 9). Both Drs. Orinish and Esselstyn's programs exclude nuts and oils.
Should one add nuts and seed in moderation in their diet?
Why?
Studies have shown that low-fat vegetarian diet reduced LDL by 16%, and
high-nutrient, vegetable diet including nuts and seeds reduces LDL cholesterol by 33%. (8, 9)
Nuts contain very high concentraton of L-Argeninie and omega 3.
L-Argenine gets converted to Nitrous oxide (NO) and omega 3 are anti-atherogenic. These may be
two of the important reasons why nuts help in reversal of CAD. 24,33 However, Dr. Ornish's diet reduced LDL cholesterol
by 40%. (19) Similar result is also obtained by Dr. Esselstyn.
What in theory should do good causes bad in practice. For example:
Study shows that Olive oil increases HDL and lowers LDL and improves their
ratio. But, olive oil also causes as bad atherosclerosis as saturated oils such as butter and does not prevent CAD. May be
also be a causative factor for breast cancer as discussed previously (Dr. Esselstyn's in video in youtube)
Only way find out effectiveness of nuts and omega 3 or anything else is
by designed pilot trials followed by larger study. Still then stick to proven methods?
NITROUS OXIDE (NO)
Louis
J. Ignarro discovered Nitric Oxide (NO), a vasodilator, controls blood flow in the body.
"NO relaxes and enlarges the blood vessels,
prevents blood clots that trigger strokes and heart attacks, and regulates blood pressure and the accumulation of plaque in
the blood vessels..... Nitric Oxide may help lower"The plan is easy-to-follow without extreme
lifestyle adjustments, involving taking supplements to stimulate Nitric Oxide production, incorporating NO friendly food into
the diet, and a moderate exercise program." (22)
Food sources
of NO: Same as discussed below in Pomegranate section.
Pomegranate
This is found to be very anti-atherogenic and causes
reversal
of carotid atherosclerosis. 26-29 Please
see separate chapter on pomegranate.
L-Argenine
Appears to reverse CAD
Food sources of L-Arginine
Nuts: Peanuts, walnuts, brazilnuts, and coconut
Dairy: Milk and milk products
Meats: Pork, beef, chicken, turkey, and seafood
Cereals: oats and wheat.
Legumes:soybean and chickpea
Coca: Chocolate
All are rich natural sources of L-arginine. (23-25)
So, what is the optimal diet for
CAD prevention and reversal? Suggested pilot studies with few
subjects.
1. Dr. Esselstyn's program as present form: Intensive diet only.
2. No. 1 + exercise.
3. No. 2 + relaxation therapies +/- group therapy or combined as relaxation group therapy.
4. Dr. Ornish program as it is.
5. D. Esselstyn's program + anti inflammatory food such as nuts and omega 3 oil.
6. No. 5 + statins.
7. No. 5 + aspirin
8. No. 5 + statins + aspirin
9. No. 8 + exercise
10. No. 9 + relaxation therapies.
11. No. 1 + Pomogranate 50 ml daily.
12. No. 11 + L-argenine supplement+ Vitamin C
13. Other combinations as necessary.
My personal choice intensive diet therapy: Please see the seperate chapter.
Theoretical consideration for including nuts and omega 3 oil.
Fats from nuts such as almonds and walnut and seeds are healthy
if eaten in moderation and are protective for cardiovascular health and weight loss. (8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16) and
prevent sudden death from cardiac arrhythmia (17).
The possible adverse
event of arrhythmia death or any abnormality of lipoprotein factor from low fat diet as in Drs. Ornish or Esselstyn's programs
were not reported by the authors. (Furham)
