Love this story that Robert Ostfeld shared tonight with us tonight at the Meat is for Pussies book launch party (thank you John Joseph for bringing us all together to celebrate your work, passion, compassion and commitment to change) - These stories and others need to be shared near and far - truly inspiring. Thank you Dr. Ostfeld and your team for the amazing work you are doing! Amazing story! A patient was about to have coronary artery bypass graft surgery at another institution the next day. However, the patient decided not to have the surgery after reading about the impact of a whole food plant based diet. The patient then found our Cardiac Wellness Program @ Montefiore Medical Center. (Please note that every patients case is different and this example may not apply to another person. The following is not meant as medical advice-please consult with your physician as in some cases procedures can be life saving). When we met, the patient could walk only 1 block before having to stop because of chest pain from cholesterol blockages in the heart. TWO weeks after going 100% whole food plant based the patient was able to walk 25 blocks before having to stop! Two to three months later the patient was exercising for over 2 hours without difficulty. And, with the help of appropriate medications, the LDL (bad cholesterol) fell more than 120 points. Go plants!
