Journal ArticleDOI
Can lifestyle changes reverse coronary heart disease?: The Lifestyle Heart Trial
Dean Ornish,S. E. Brown,James H. Billings,Larry Scherwitz,William T. Armstrong,Thomas A. Ports,Sandra McLanahan,Richard L. Kirkeeide,K L Gould,Richard J. Brand +9 more
TL;DR: Comprehensive lifestyle changes may be able to bring about regression of even severe coronary atherosclerosis after only 1 year, without use of lipid-lowering drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intensive lifestyle changes for reversal of coronary heart disease.
Dean Ornish,Larry Scherwitz,James H. Billings,K. Lance Gould,Terri A. Merritt,Stephen Sparler,William T. Armstrong,Thomas A. Ports,Richard L. Kirkeeide,Charissa Hogeboom,Richard J. Brand +10 more
TL;DR: More regression of coronary atherosclerosis occurred after 5 years than after 1 year in the experimental group, and in the control group, coronary Atherosclerosis continued to progress and more than twice as many cardiac events occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased telomerase activity and comprehensive lifestyle changes: a pilot study
Dean Ornish,Jue Lin,Jennifer Daubenmier,Gerdi Weidner,Elissa S. Epel,Colleen Kemp,Mark Jesus M. Magbanua,Ruth Marlin,Loren Yglecias,Peter R. Carroll,Elizabeth H. Blackburn +10 more
TL;DR: Comprehensive lifestyle changes significantly increase telomerase activity and consequently telomere maintenance capacity in human immune-system cells, and this is reported as a significant association rather than inferring causation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of comprehensive lifestyle changes on telomerase activity and telomere length in men with biopsy-proven low-risk prostate cancer: 5-year follow-up of a descriptive pilot study.
Dean Ornish,Jue Lin,June M. Chan,Elissa S. Epel,Colleen Kemp,Gerdi Weidner,Ruth Marlin,Steven J. Frenda,Mark Jesus M. Magbanua,Jennifer Daubenmier,Ivette S. Estay,Nancy K. Hills,Nita Chainani-Wu,Peter R. Carroll,Elizabeth H. Blackburn +14 more
TL;DR: The comprehensive lifestyle intervention followed with a programme of comprehensive lifestyle changes was associated with increases in relative telomere length after 5 years of follow-up, compared with controls, in this small pilot study.
