DEAN ORNISH'S PROGRAM In an age when medical science was combating heart disease with costly high- tech interventions, American physician Dean Ornish was something of a throwback. His simple, inexpensive program of lifestyle changes - which featured a low-fat, primarily vegetarian diet, moderate aerobic exercise, and daily stress management - contrasted sharply with such potentially risky treatments as bypass surgery, angioplasty, and cholesterol-lowering medication. The holistic regimen that Ornish recommended appeared not only to halt the progress of atherosclerosis - the buildup of fatty substances within the arteries - but actually to reverse it.

Later highlights for Ornish included the publication of a third book, Eat More, Weigh Less: Dr. Dean Ornish's Life Choice Program for Losing Weight Safely While Eating Abundantly, an invitation to the White House in 1993; and the announcement in August of the same year that Mutual of Omaha, an insurance company, would reimburse policyholders for the cost of participation in the program - the first time a major insurer had agreed to cover an "alternative" treatment for heart disease.
