What's the name of this book, who is the author?

[journeymom]

It's a health and diet book, written by a doctor. It's from about 15, maybe 20 years ago. He's a vegetarian and a cardiologist. He did a lot of research and found that a vegetarian diet can not only keep heart disease away, but it can reverse some damage done by heart disease. I think he has curly brown hair. It was a popular book at the time. I actually HAD the book but lost interest in it and gave it away.

Anyone have any idea?

Reversing Heart Disease by Dean Ornish, M.D.

That'd be my guess!

Reversing Heart Disease That it?

Two MDs with diet books come to mind:

John MacDougall-- He's an MD but I'm not sure what his area is. He and his wife have lots of cookbooks out: The MacDougall program. Their books fall in the right time frame.

Another MD who is definitely a cardiologist doing the sort of research that you describe is Caldwell Esselstyn. He has a recently published book out called Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. HTH.

Hey, that's the right author! I was thinking of his Eat More, Weigh Less book.
