0.03 -> hey it's Mike here and today heart
1.53 -> disease particularly how a specific diet
3.54 -> gives you the best chance of reversing
5.25 -> heart disease naturally and of course
8.16 -> we're gonna look at the studies that
9.269 -> back that claim up firstly we're gonna
11.01 -> look at a classic study that I've
12.15 -> mentioned in videos in the past but now
14.61 -> with some of my own 3d animation
17.25 -> enrichment as well as some other studies
20.22 -> that I haven't talked about in some new
21.9 -> concepts and finally we're gonna close
24.119 -> it out with some amazing success stories
26.039 -> all right let's go starting with some
27.539 -> background the human circulatory system
29.58 -> feeds oxygen and nutrients to our entire
32.099 -> body and so when things go wrong with it
33.87 -> it can lead to a large variety of
36.27 -> diseases all the way from erectile
38.1 -> dysfunction to neuropathy where it feels
40.05 -> like your nerves are on fire but the
42.27 -> most threatening of all these diseases
43.59 -> the most lethal is heart disease and
46.02 -> today we're at a point where from this
48.27 -> study half of all healthy heart donors
50.76 -> people who died in accidents and so
52.649 -> forth have coronary artery disease they
55.71 -> have clogged heart arteries and
57.87 -> according to the American Heart
58.739 -> Association about every 40 seconds in
61.17 -> the US somebody has a heart attack and
63.51 -> so so many lives are on the line with
65.43 -> this and often people with advanced
66.9 -> cardiovascular disease are just it's
68.67 -> kind of sent home to die it's funny how
70.71 -> in society we are so careful to teach
73.02 -> our children how to be safe to cross the
75.03 -> road safely and avoid strangers and so
78.24 -> forth but we don't teach them how to
80.25 -> avoid our number one killer which is
82.409 -> heart disease we don't teach our
83.79 -> children how to prevent and specifically
85.92 -> reverse heart disease once they have it
87.869 -> and that's probably because most people
89.549 -> don't know how to actually do that but
91.979 -> there is one doctor who definitely does
94.079 -> and that is dr. Esselstyn and he has
96.479 -> demonstrated it in peer-reviewed
97.77 -> clinical trials like this one I know
100.02 -> some of my regular viewers are like a
101.52 -> way to reverse cad again don't worry
104.31 -> there's gonna be a lot of new
105.03 -> information and here is dr. Esselstyn
107.1 -> talking about the initial state of his
108.93 -> patients I got the walking dead these
112.02 -> are patients who had failed their first
114.149 -> or second angioplasty they had failed
115.95 -> their first or second bypass they were
118.409 -> too sick for these procedures or they
120.689 -> had refused and five-word had been told
123.36 -> by their expert cardiologists that they
125.13 -> would not live out the year to cover the
127.229 -> numbers he put 200 people on a whole
129.239 -> food vegan diet a diet that's free from
131.099 -> animal products
131.81 -> animal fat and processed foods and of
134.45 -> those that went off the diet those that
135.98 -> failed 60% of them had adverse events
138.74 -> like heart attack and stroke over the
139.97 -> next 12 years of the 177 that stayed on
142.97 -> the diet that succeeded 0.6 percent of
146.3 -> them had those types of events no it's
148.4 -> not a perfect control group but it's a
150.8 -> comparison and that comparison is 100
153.47 -> times lower rates of heart attack and
155.42 -> stroke but the exciting thing was that
157.459 -> we what we saw with these patients was
159.95 -> that all those compliant patient is
161.72 -> totally arrested any further progression
164.209 -> of their diseases in terms of outcome he
166.22 -> functionally erased their heart disease
168.47 -> so let's do some further investigation
170.019 -> Esselstyn took patients off of foods
172.519 -> that have been shown in the research to
174.019 -> impair artery function and clogged
176.239 -> arteries he removed animal fat which
178.31 -> boosts LDL which not only causes
181.25 -> inflammation but also builds up in the
183.41 -> artery wall he also removed processed
185.78 -> oils and sugars which have been shown to
187.97 -> impair artery function he also
190.19 -> prescribed high antioxidant foods so
192.44 -> that you could have a constant flow of
194.51 -> antioxidants over the artery wall
196.76 -> preventing inflammation and so forth and
199.34 -> finally he prescribed plant foods with
201.26 -> high levels of nitrates which are
202.94 -> converted to nitric oxide in your blood
204.92 -> which dilates the arteries and helps in
207.2 -> a variety of ways we'll talk more about
208.67 -> that in a second now for some of the
210.11 -> visual results this chart shows a
212 -> massive improvement in blood flow after
214.37 -> just three weeks and that is probably
216.23 -> largely due to the massive increase in
218.06 -> nitrates of the dilation and then no
220.34 -> longer injuring your artery wall three
222.109 -> times a day we also have this famous
223.94 -> angiogram of an inoperable clogged heart
226.79 -> artery before and after going on the
228.56 -> diet a little bit longer term and I've
230.45 -> gone as far as to do a 3d simulation of
233.06 -> what the inside of that artery may have
235.25 -> looked like obviously we don't have you
237.62 -> guessed it time-traveling nano robots to
240.44 -> see exactly what was going on in the
241.82 -> artery but let's open up that artery and
243.59 -> take a look inside obviously his artery
245.75 -> started out normal only as younger and
247.67 -> then with high levels of cholesterol and
248.9 -> inflammation the atherosclerosis starts
251.299 -> and in particular you have LDL or bad
253.64 -> cholesterol particles building up in the
255.65 -> wall of the artery over time as blood
258.019 -> flow is obstructed there it is compared
260.51 -> to the original angiogram and then on a
263.03 -> whole food vegan diet the
264.6 -> was able to open back up fully boom
267.42 -> beautiful beautiful animation but
269.55 -> perhaps what's most important here is
271.17 -> that total artery clearing doesn't even
273.27 -> need to happen to prevent death in fact
275.25 -> in about 90% of cases a heart attack is
278.16 -> caused by more of what can be looked at
279.99 -> as an artery zit I know it's gross in
283.02 -> particular that's it popping inside of
285.42 -> your artery and I actually animated this
287.46 -> too so perhaps you have a couple damaged
290.25 -> endothelial cells the cells on the
292.29 -> lining of your artery and some LDL might
294.54 -> slip under there
295.65 -> caused some inflammation you also have
297.45 -> these macrophages your immune cells
299.82 -> coming to the rescue which then creates
302.28 -> even more of an issue this then creates
304.56 -> a foam cell which is basically an
306.06 -> inflamed mix of the two that foam cell
307.8 -> is then broken apart by harmful
309.21 -> substances created inside of it high
311.04 -> blood pressure etc and you get a total
312.99 -> artery blockage which again is the cause
315.27 -> of about 90% of deaths so the key is a
317.79 -> lowering oxidative stress and lowering
319.62 -> inflammation within the artery and
320.79 -> preventing those arteries its from
322.47 -> forming in the first place this is why
324.21 -> high nitrate plant foods are amazing
326.13 -> because not only do they have a large
327.72 -> amount of antioxidants which can offset
329.64 -> that oxidative stress they also lead to
332.07 -> the creation of nitric oxide which again
334.23 -> dilates those arteries but is even more
336.6 -> magical than that from this study nitric
338.67 -> oxide actually tells those inflammatory
340.65 -> immune cells to die which ends up
343.5 -> shrinking the foam cells and gives them
345.42 -> less of a risk of rupturing normally
347.55 -> nitric oxide is produced by your
350.01 -> endothelial cells on the lining of your
352.05 -> arteries but as you get older that
353.94 -> happens less and less so if you eat a
356.28 -> ton of nitrates from plants you're still
358.44 -> able to get a large amount of nitric
359.7 -> oxide in your bloodstream and that is
361.65 -> why dr. Esselstyn prescribes 6 steamed
364.74 -> handfuls of leafy greens a day I want
367.71 -> them to have something the size of their
371.07 -> fist after it has been cooked for five
374.64 -> and a half to six minutes so it's nice
377.28 -> and tender then they can anoint it with
379.47 -> several drops of a delightful about
381.45 -> semuc vinegar I also want to give credit
383.1 -> where credit's due and mention that it's
384.6 -> not just dr. Esselstyn that's done this
386.52 -> there have been plenty of doctors that
387.84 -> have done this over the decades all the
389.4 -> way back to Pritikin dr. Dean Ornish in
391.38 -> particular has also documented this in
393.3 -> peer-reviewed studies like this one I do
395.85 -> want to mention that dr. Ornish does a
397.59 -> more whole
398.22 -> take a lifestyle approach in conjunction
400.5 -> with an almost entirely plant-based diet
402.24 -> it's a little bit of a different program
403.65 -> his study did have a legit control group
406.05 -> and looking at the results of the
407.64 -> intervention group after five years at
410.13 -> an 8% decrease in build-up in their
411.9 -> arteries while the control group had a
413.34 -> 27% increase in progression of build-up
416.61 -> so he was also able to document the
418.41 -> literal clearing out of arteries which
420.3 -> is amazing alright let's move on now to
422.31 -> be fully transparent we don't know to
423.81 -> what degree you can completely unclog
426.6 -> arteries and heal your artery lining for
429.63 -> example maybe you have a 99% blockage of
431.85 -> a super calcified plaque I don't know
434.88 -> how much that can be undone
436.29 -> but if arteries can heal it might be due
438.6 -> to a pretty interesting concept which is
440.76 -> that of endothelial progenitor cells dr.
444 -> Esselstyn believes that these cells play
445.38 -> a major role in actually regenerating
447.69 -> the artery wall lining and while
450.03 -> research is still being done on this the
451.77 -> results are pretty promising from this
453.39 -> study the amount of these endothelial
455.7 -> progenitor cells in the blood was a good
458.13 -> predictor of cardiovascular events and
460.169 -> outcomes in other words the more of
461.88 -> these cells you had in your bloodstream
463.23 -> the better off your arteries are and
465.45 -> from this study in animals who had a
467.28 -> heart attack injecting these progenitor
468.78 -> cells into their arteries showed improve
470.61 -> blood flow and less scarring and as this
472.89 -> study mentions once scientists were able
474.36 -> to stimulate cell growth in a petri dish
476.4 -> using endothelial progenitor cells they
479.28 -> knew they're capable of repairing
480.63 -> arteries in human adult's and I don't
482.55 -> think it's really that crazy of an idea
484.2 -> that our arteries can repair themselves
485.4 -> I mean what do you think happens when
486.63 -> you get cut your artery isn't just
488.34 -> ruined forever
489.51 -> either way the result of what appears to
491.22 -> be a lot of pretty cruel animal
492.93 -> experiments is that endothelial
494.94 -> progenitor cells repair ability has been
497.01 -> extensively studied in the animal models
499.08 -> of heart attacks with encouraging
501.03 -> results of course most of these studies
502.68 -> have likely been done with the idea of
504.15 -> creating some a magical super lucrative
506.729 -> serum that you just inject into people's
508.44 -> arteries and further band-aide the heart
510.78 -> disease situation got some good news for
512.64 -> corporate we only need to give 500 more
515.01 -> small rodents and mammals heart attacks
516.9 -> before we can inject this billion-dollar
518.64 -> serum into the marketplace
520.44 -> it's like water shipped down in here and
522.419 -> it's beautiful but the reality is if we
524.64 -> stop doing the damage over and over
526.23 -> again we can actually let our arteries
527.61 -> heal themselves naturally perhaps anyone
530.04 -> that note let's drive at home with some
531.96 -> awesome success stories of people that
533.49 -> actually went on a whole food vegan diet
535.14 -> reversed their heart disease like this
536.97 -> dude who should probably be dead but
538.83 -> isn't the winter of 2013 I was literally
542.37 -> dying my life was basically a book and a
545.31 -> remote I couldn't walk five or ten yards
547.74 -> with having to stop my ejection fraction
549.9 -> was 27 I was just barely alive to my
553.26 -> coronary arteries were 100% blocked and
555.75 -> my third one was 70% blocked and then I
558.81 -> need immediate coronary artery bypass
560.64 -> surgery triple bypass so the middle of
563.73 -> January went on dr. esselstyn's died
565.89 -> completely with the book preventing
567.93 -> reverse heart disease as a guy I've
569.7 -> discussed it with my cardiologist he
571.5 -> said I've been a cardiologist for 28
573.3 -> years and I've really never seen
574.89 -> anything like this he said your ejection
576.78 -> fraction is almost normal I walk every
579.54 -> day I'm active all of the symptoms that
582.41 -> experienced in 2013 and 2014 have
585.24 -> dissipated the diet works and I continue
588.3 -> to support just a complete Deegan diet
591.06 -> and many of these stories actually have
593.01 -> before-and-after scans of their arteries
595.14 -> like this guy Robert Mercer who in 2008
597.72 -> had an 80 to 90 percent blockage in one
600.42 -> of his arteries in 2013 and went down to
602.58 -> about 50 to 69 percent and he also had
605.01 -> the added benefit of a 40 pound weight
607.08 -> loss and from this guy whose angiogram
609.39 -> showed 40 to 50 percent blockage in his
611.94 -> right coronary artery the results quote
614.64 -> the findings of my latest CT scan were
616.32 -> startling my right coronary artery and
618.27 -> left anterior descending artery were 100
620.79 -> percent open so this dude he went from
623.07 -> blockages to zero blockages in about a
625.26 -> year and a half and in the interest of
626.88 -> time I'm glossing over how these
628.14 -> people's lives were like entirely
629.58 -> changed I also want to mention how my
631.29 -> medical student friend told me that it's
632.79 -> impossible to be on clogging arteries
634.83 -> reversing heart disease well I think
636.84 -> from not only these stories but also the
639.12 -> studies that we need to change our
640.77 -> medical curriculum here's one final
642.57 -> story that really drives home especially
644.22 -> the change in quality of life this dude
646.8 -> had all sorts of adverse artery events I
649.32 -> mean what is that like an AI heart
651.18 -> attack he also had some artery related
653.49 -> leg pain but after going on the diet he
656.01 -> was able to dance at his daughter's
657.72 -> wedding all night long which his wife
659.88 -> said would not have been possible
661.23 -> without changing his diet and so
662.73 -> that's what it's all about instead of
664.32 -> being dead he was killing it on the
666.36 -> dance floor
667.139 -> in the end well there's more than enough
668.49 -> evidence to show that over time these
670.709 -> arteries are clearing out in many cases
673.019 -> the most important thing is getting that
674.97 -> healthier artery state right away just
677.91 -> after a few weeks on the die you know
679.38 -> we're looking at that lower LDL which
681.18 -> means less oxidization and less buildup
683.279 -> we're lowering the inflammation we're
684.72 -> increasing the artery dilation and just
687.6 -> functioning overall with the nitric
689.49 -> oxide and just blasting the arteries
692.25 -> with antioxidants all of those things
693.93 -> are working together to prevent the
695.97 -> lethal events that actually kill you
698.25 -> obviously the quality of life these
699.899 -> people has a massive improvement as well
701.519 -> that's just an extra benefit yeah well
703.41 -> link some of my heart disease videos at
704.97 -> the end screen and I'll also link some
706.949 -> more of dr. esselstyn's videos and book
708.99 -> down below and dr. Dean Ornish just came
711.149 -> out with a new book with his wife called
712.949 -> undo it so I'll link that below as well
715.079 -> if you're interested in it that way if
716.67 -> anybody's interested in changing up
718.079 -> their diet and lifestyle then all the
719.94 -> links are below alright thanks for
721.29 -> watching feel free to like subscribe let
723.18 -> me know what you think in the comments
724.26 -> and I'll see you next time
725.37 -> [Music]
