Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. has completed multiple scientific publications and studies regarding health and nutrition. “The Best Doctors in America” 1994-1995 published by Woodward and White cites Dr. Esselstyn’s surgical expertise in the categories of endocrine and breast disease. In 1995 he published his bench mark long-term nutritional research on arresting and reversing coronary artery disease in severely ill patients. That same study was updated at 12 years and reviewed again beyond twenty years in his book, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, making it one of the longest longitudinal studies of its type. In July of 2014 he reported the experience of 198 participants who were seriously ill with cardiovascular disease. During over 3 years of follow up of the 89% adherent to the program, 99.4% of the participants had avoided any further major cardiac events.

Deadly Dairy Deception is a thought-provoking work by Dr. Robert Bibb which introduces readers everywhere to the killer disguised as a saint: dairy products. Americans consistently hear about the benefits of dairy consumption, such as getting calcium and vitamin D. But rarely are Americans presented with Bibb’s insight into the scientific downfalls of consuming dairy products. Bibb goes into detail sharing his information on genes and hormones that affect the cells that produce cancer. He provides thorough research and several proven statistics linking the milk to cancer. He even proves that a dairy-free diet can serve as a preventative or perhaps curative method for prostate and breast cancer.
