Talk:Dean Ornish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just drafted this article, and was surprised that no one had yet done so, as Dr. Ornish is well-known both among physicians and in pop culture- and a number of Wikipedia articles already link here. I know it's now a stub, and will expand shortly when time permits...of course I look forward to seeing others do so too.

Try to keep the language neutral, please. If the research suggests that diet decreases risk of cardiovascular disease, then say to. Where is that research, could you add a reference? Avoid interpreting the results without providing further sources for the interpretation. Who says that Dr Ornish' approach decreases incidence of revascularisation? Ornish himself?

I added a citation and explanation for the RCT that established this result. Basically, Ornish et al measured atherosclerotic progression by coronary arterial angiography. Dr. Ornish has done a number of other studies corroborating this result in the years since, which I can add later as time permits.
