John McDougall, MD explains how angioplasty does not save lives and has never been shown to save the lives of patients with chronic heart blockages. Angioplasty ignores the dangerous part of the artery disease, the volatile plaques (sores), and the efforts of doctors are directed towards dilating a narrowing caused by a large, stable, fibrous, plaque. When the plaque is ruptured by the expanding balloon, heart attacks occur in 3 to 5% of patients. The safest option to treat blocked arteries is to adopt a plant-based diet, once the disease has started it can be stopped and in most cases reversed with this lifestyle change.

"I loved the practicality of the lessons on label reading. The cooking courses were great. Hearing the medical information directly from Dr. McDougall was very thought provoking and convincing. It is clear that he and Mary have worked together to help people like me...and all of the staff have something vital to add." -Beverly B.
