Make Yourself Heart Attack Proof

[Brotherman7]

Dr. Your are the Shizizzle! Thank you I have shared your video with my friends on Facebook.

[oclv110sl]

@jordonified you are right, too much fat does make you sick, if the fat is unstable and pro-inflammatory. New research on vitamin K2 is also interesting, especially regarding calcified soft tissues.

[oclv110sl]

@jordonified Primative civilisations did not overload their tissues with excess omega-6 from industrialized oils. Check out the work of Dr William Lands.

[YaBaDji]

No olive oil?!?!? o_O

[Jordonified]

@YaBaDji yup

[YaBaDji]

@Jordonified Doubt it, the only problem with the Mediterranean diet is too much fat meat,

food must not be eaten in a soup of olive oil, just a few drops to give it taste.

Never eat more than you burn, and you will never get a heart attack in you life.

[Andreas748]

is there a 2 or 3 minute version of this video? This is too long

[usenetposts]

For those new veggies like me who are convinced by St Caldwell and would like to do it but don't have a clue, are there any good YT channels that help with the practicalities of living without meat, dairy, eggs and fish AND not drinking caffeine? I've been on it since yesterday and right now I'm not hungry but I do have a headache.

[1imesub]

@usenetposts Eat plenty of starches: potatoes, squashes, rice, etc. for energy/calories. Eat fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals. Eat nuts and seeds sparingly, as they are relatively high in fat, though otherwise very healthy and a great source of vitamin E, which is very important in preventing alzheimer's disease. Also, you should supplement vitamin B12 with a sublingual tablet (which is a good idea for everyone, not just vegetarians). Stay away from processed foods, eat whole.

[usenetposts]

@1imesub Many thanks for that. Do you have anything also to say about the giving up of caffeine? And are there any channels out there teaching about shopping for wholefoods and preparing them?

[1imesub]

@usenetposts Coffee has been shown in studies to raise homocysteine levels, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. B12 is highly effective at lowering homocysteine, which is one reason it's so important.

I'd subscribe to this channel (headveg) and vshvideo (Vegetarian Society of Hawaii), and drmcdougallmd as well.  "The Starch Solution," presented by Dr. McDougall, is one of my all time favorite lectures on youtube. Worth a look.

drmcdougall(dot)com has tons of free recipes.

[usenetposts]

@1imesub Many thanks for all the great advice!

[madmanatsea]

I wonder if they tested the HDL levels of that tribe he talks about who smoke but don't get heart disease?

Does this guy even know how smoking causes heart disease?

I BET HE DOESN'T!

And I could Educate him on how smoking causes heart disease........Would anyone like to know how smoking causes heart disease?

Fact:

High cholesterol levels DO NOT CAUSE HEART DISEASE!

Fact:

Low HDL levels cause HEART DISEASE, and if your HDL levels are near 30 THEN YOU HAD BETTER GET ON NIACIN TO GET IT UP!

[redball81]

This is interesting but what about people like me who are not vegeterian yet have superb cholesterol levels? My total cholesterol is 85 (reference range = 125-200) and my LDL is 42 (ref. range = 62-130).

I wish the doctor had addressed those cases where people have great cholesterol yet still consume meat. In this talk he argues: no meat --> great cholesterol --> heart attack-proof plus other health benefits. So if you already have great cholesterol (yet consume meat), no worries, I guess.

[1imesub]

@redball81 He mentions his colleague, Joe Crowe, who had good cholesterol, yet still suffered a severe heart attack. Happens all the time in fact. Cholesterol levels are just an indicator. Just because your levels are good doesn't mean you're not at risk. If you want to never worry about having a heart attack, ever again, cut the meat, dairy and refined oils. It's really not that hard to do.

[redball81]

@1imesub Thanks. Where in the video does he mention Joe Crowe? (I watched the whole video a week ago but I don't remember that section too clearly.)

[1imesub]

@redball81 37:23

[redball81]

@1imesub Thanks. The Crowe case *is* interesting but I notice his cholest. came down to mine only after he was on the diet :). You did raise a point though: perhaps I fixate too much on cholesterol as the end all be all when it's only a marker & there are other things being damaged in the body by meat/oil consumption (the Dr. says that olive oil raises clotting factor VII as much as butter does). I do think u could be more sympathetic: a diet change of this magnitude is F'ing hard for many ppl.

[1imesub]

@redball81 He also discusses the PDAY study in this lecture in which autopsies were done on thousands of Americans ages 15 and up; every single one had atherosclerosis.

The moral of the story; if you've been eating meat, dairy, and refined oils over the course of your lifetime, you have plaque build-up in your arteries and are at risk of a heart attack/stroke.

It's hard to have much sympathy when you hear excuses after excuses from people. If I can do it, anyone can!!!!

[madmanatsea]

@1imesub

Good cholesterol levels according to many doctors, cdc, etc., are when you have levels below 200...This can be VERY FALSE in many cases like the case of a friend of mine who is diabetic with cholesterol levels near 160, She is on several drugs to get it that low. HER problem is that her HDL levels are near 30 and like most diabetics this woman WILL DIE FROM A HEART ATTACK!  To prevent heart attack: take fish oil, niacin, walk 3o min/day, Magnesium, cayenne, minced garlic!

[1imesub]

@madmanatsea No, I would never recommend fish oil, nor the supplements you list. Eat a whole-foods plant based diet, naturally low in fat and free of cholesterol. It's that easy.

[madmanatsea]

@redball81

Anyone who believes that by eating vegetables will get his or her cholesterol level Lower ARE IN FOR A HUGE surprise..........If this guy is advocating lowering cholesterol with vegetables, then he is a POSTER CHILD for the educational system here in the USA. Every person in this country should know by now that 90% of the cholesterol in our bodies is produced by the liver, and the level of cholesterol is due to the genes from your parents.

[1imesub]

@madmanatsea Not much of anything you're saying is true. I know people who've lowered their cholesterol levels significantly by simply giving up animal products and refined oils.

[timmiet47321]

Where does one obtain protein from in a plant based diet?

[DiceEsque]

@timmiet47321 plants have protein in them

[1imesub]

@timmiet47321 Most Americans get way too much protein which leads to all kinds of health issues like poor digestion and osteoporosis. Plants foods all have protein, and in healthy amounts.

[stockinettestitch]

@timmiet47321 From all the happy little plants you eat. :-)

[EidolonProduction]

Hi! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (search on google)? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my father lost crazy amounts of weight with it.

[Heebz24]

How can anyone dislike this video?

[RawFitChris]

Ess & T. should be the most famous and publicized men of today. I have been sharing their irrefutable and painstakingly generated data years before with my friends, family and clients. I've been vegan since 1985 aw a result and support these monumental and generous men like I would my own father.

[zetalore]

Thank you so much for your insight, but i can't eat anything anymore now :(

no more meat,no more fish, no chicken , life sucks

grains,legumes lentils, vegetables, fruit here i come :O

[billthestinker]

Don't forget the high booze diet

[AstroTrain100]

If you can't eat meat how do you get your protein? Is protein powder a no no?

[AFFIRMATIONS1]

THANKS SO MUCH !

[FathomlessJoy]

Moderations kills! My new hero! Though he sounds a little drunk in this preso.....

Most of the free range/organic/grass fed animal products crowd are fooling themselves that they can moderate a bad diet and get "not very healthy but healthy enough." What they really get it "not very bad but bad enough!"

Odd thing about moderation crowd, they get worst of both worlds: they never really get healthy and still have to give up lots of what they want. Like smoking 10 cigs per day instead of 20.

[iwannabe24]

read his book,FANTASTIC!!!!

[TheSactoBob]

Thank you Dr. Esselstyn for your research and book and lectures. You saved me from surgery and saved my health. The doctors wanted to perform heart surgery on me - an arteriogram and stent. Instead, I followed your program and my symptoms disappeared. 18 months later, a follow-up nuclear heart scan showed no blockage. I love the food and feel great. Just like every one of your study patients, I reversed my heart disease. i don't understand why so many opt for surgery.

[torchlakemi]

sorry people,but this doesnt make sence. most of my family is from greece, and they all ate a VERY high fat diet. my grandfather lived to be 88, my great uncle 92, great aunt 94, and my still living grandmother is alive and well at 87and still eating fat. my father moved here and died from a heart attack at 65, my mother had a stroke at 62, but still alive, thank god. i think theres more to it. dr linus pauling i think summed it up best. its nothing more then sub-acute chronic scurvy

[1imesub]

@torchlakemi Greeks eat a lot of fruits, vegetables and grains. Don't base your idea of authentic Greek food on what you find in "Greek" restaurants here in America. Look at the Mediterranean food pyramid, you will see what I mean. Greece has a vibrant vegetarian culture that dates back well over 2 thousand years. Your relatives most likely ate a much healthier diet than you think.

[Flirri]

@1imesub Also want to mention the orthodox christian fasting days in blocks throughout the entire year -- very strict for believers, no oil, meat, fish, days -- and most definitely people complied.

[CBasie2856]

I remember a friend of mine who was vegetarian all his life, and he looked rather too young for his age. By the time he was in middle school, he looked 5 to 7 years old and had trouble growing.

Then it was the meat that saved him. When he started eating more meat, he felt so much better and was growing properly.

[oclv110sl]

@Mekelsior .... research 'glycation' and 'oxLDL' and 'small dense LDL'.

Cholesterol and fat do not cause heart disease, if they did you might be right to assume that a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet is heart healthy.

If you need more pointers let me know ;)

[oclv110sl]

The lipid hypothesis is dead in the water. A high carb, low fat diet that this man is recommending promotes heart disease. Please do not take what he is saying as gospel and do your own research. The only bit he gets right is "NO OIL" - well almost, high oleic acid oil is the least harmful of the oils. Read all the evidence at Hyperlipid, The Daily Lipid, Whole Health Source, PaulKayley, for an alternative view. Heart disease is caused by inflammation, glycation, and oxidation.

[Mekelsior]

@oclv110sl How can a low fat high carb diet promote heart disease? Study the John McDougall diet that is low fat high in carbs and people are lowering their bloodpresure and reducing cholesterol as well as help cleaning out the arteries... ? =)

[Jordonified]

@oclv110sl Explain to me the extremely low mortality rates of Okinawan's? They live the longest out of any population on the planet with the fewest degenerative diseases. Their overall traditional diet would be considered a very-high-carbohydrate by modern standards, with carbohydrates, protein, and fat providing 85%, 9% and 6% of total calories. What do you have to say to all the people Caldwell cured? Explain it bro?

To much fat makes you fat and sick buddy. PERIOD.

[realinohio]

How about the people that have Genetic High Cholesterol?

I can't find a study that addresses this with diet

[ChaosKids512]

@realinohio I wonder this as well... I am one of the unlucky ones that has this issue. I can tell you that all my excess body fat melted away when I quit eating meat and meat products. My cholesterol also has dropped by over 70 points in 3 months time.

[hsiaofonglinkane]

Thank you so much, I love the video, very interesting. I used to work on Cardiac unit floor in the Hospital, assist patient for Angiogram pre and post, I found the 99.9% of patient if they told me they are vegan usually arteries is clear, only one very exceptional patient being vegan but one vessel is build with fat deposit, I am really amazing the affect of good diet, myself is vegetarian related to my buddism practice. I eat tofu and vege all the time, I feel very healthy.

[rockcityaudio]

@JonDeth,I understand how you feel about this diet,I agree its unlovable for almost all folk.I think its about choice,try to eat healthy food like fruit and veg and make healthy choices with a cheat once a week,otherwise its not worth living.

you cant even eat out with this diet as with any prepared food you don't know what's in it,and it depends on what heart problem you have,it may not stop a heart attack caused by so many other factors.he is far too simplistic and rigid.

[rockcityaudio]

So if its calcium or scar tissue a veg diet wont work or at least is unlikely to work!

only if the blockage is soft lipid like gruel it will budge...(quote).

Hmm,so suffering to eat veg may not help us at all.

I admit that if it helps then fine,but this Dr,s diet is almost impossible to stick too,

I'm a very mentally strong person and very very clean eater but his diet is not liveable,even dean ornish,s diet is not as strict as this guys. sorry but its not an enjoyable diet long term ..

[huguenot67]

@rockcityaudio If you're a very mentally strong person, you should have no trouble adhering to this diet. I don't have a whole lot will power, and I can tell you that staying on this diet is effortless. I am never hungry, and I enjoy the food very much ( more and more as time goes on).

[raashjaano]

Full of useful information. Thank you so much for uploading.

I've been considering going vegetarian for a while and this video has motivated me to finally do it. I'm officially a vegetarian starting now.

[elperverto7]

Why does this video have only 9,000 views? It must have 9 million! Who is afraid of the truth? My family is in India. Traditionally we follow a low fat, low protein lacto vegetarian diet with less than 5% calories from diary. Cancer and heart disease is virtually non existent in in my family and extended family. My grandparents are over 75, all of them healthy.

[JonDeth]

Only a white man could come up with a diet so strict!

The reality is, eating nothing but plants will ensure a long healthy life with an extremely low risk for disease. I still want to know, where the hell are we supposed to get our protein!

Soy?

Nuts?

I've been a vegetarian my entire life and even with all my soy consumption, protein is a problem. Since taking protein supplements and eating eggs regularly, I've finally kept my excess weight off.

So with this diet, healthy but no muscle lol.

[futoncat]

@JonDeth It really depends on how much protein you consider necessary. The standard is very high and often thought of as too much.

[iainmacDaye]

@JonDeth guessing you have never seen a vegan bodybuilder then

[JonDeth]

@iainmacDaye I have but anyone that says the vegan diet is pleasurable compared to diets containing baked sweets or simply dairy and eggs is a liar. I'm lacto ova vegetarian.

Vegans have the least attractive food in terms of pleasure. Even their treat foods are disappointing and protein sources are so bland. Being a vegan sucks all the oil AND moisture out of your body, I've tried it.

[iainmacDaye]

@JonDeth I dont see how your point has anything to do with your original statement about vegans having no muscle

[JonDeth]

@iainmacDaye I have seen Vegan bodybuilders.

Point is, there diet is fairly miserable and the protein requirements are extreme so vegamite won't come even close to providing it. So they take supplements or eat tons of beans and nuts.

Which at the end of the day, I'm sure feels like shitting out concrete!

[Jitpring]

@JonDeth You said: "Only a white man could come up with a diet so strict!."

Explain. 

[JonDeth]

@Jitpring white people are ruthless!

[wangtangchangbang]

I read the china study, stopped going to wendy's and buying candy at the mini mart and started eating vegetables, fruit, grains and nuts. Immediately I lost cravings for candy and can't remember the last time I bought any. I watched "Earthlings" and have a mental image to turn me off any time I think about consuming a meat product. Tides are turning and I CANT WAIT for Forks over Knives with Esselstyn and Campbell coming out this fall.

[DiceEsque]

@wangtangchangbang I noticed that too, you lose your craving for food when you eat vegan.

@AstroTrain100 Most vegetables have a certain amount of protein. The myth is we needs tons of protein to be healthy. We don't.

[windlord1111]

Literally lifesaving for someone very close to me.

Thank you, Dr. Esselstyn, and Headveg for the upload :)

[TheMartha3105]

Very good and Very informative lecture.

We just need to take proper health diet by consulting your doctor and avoiding bad habits that effect your body with major disease.A must watch video.

[kardar10]

very informative stuff

[jennarentz]

this video helped me more than you can imagine

thank you so much for this.

[MopDMTBARTL]

Keep the crap (toxins) out of u such as... fast food, processed foods, SUGAR, aspartame (artificial sweetners), fried foods (trans fats), flour, table salt, enriched anything, over the counter drugs (like tylenol), prescription drugs, alcohol, etc.

think NATURE - eat WHOLE foods, not 2 much, mostly plants. Fruits, veggies, Nuts & seeds. Meat if eaten, moderation & should be clean. Grass feed beef, wild fish (not farmed), etc. Marijuana-Cannabis-Pot for MEDICINE.

[vshtevnin]

How much grams of fat would you have to eat to keep to the 12% daily total?

[BeneathaBrougham]

@vshtevnin 1g = 9 cal. If you're at 1800 cals, 10% is 180. 180 / 9 = 20g. And none of it saturated.

[BlueEagle8]

Thank you for posting this lecture.
