The Dean Ornish Program
The Dean Ornish program
has been medically proven to reverse coronary arteriosclerosis without
surgery or medication. It is not "alternative medicine".
It is a program developed by physicians and employed in conjunction
with medical care. It can prevent coronary artery disease in persons
who may be at risk. Dr. Ornish's Program for Reversing Heart Disease
consists of four major components:
low fat vegetarian diet,
stress management,
moderate exercise and
psychosocial support.
Make no mistake. The
Dean Ornish Program is not simply the Dean Ornish diet! Although the
diet itself is healthful and might benefit almost everyone, the Dean
Ornish program is a lifestyle change, and it is the complete "package"
that has been shown to reverse heart disease.
The
Princeton Group
The Princeton group is
comprised of individuals and couples engaged in prevention or treatment
of coronary heart disease by following the program designed by Dr.
Dean Ornish. Some members of the group have attended workshops or
retreats given by Dr. Ornish and his associates. Some have come to
the program through reading Dr. Ornish’s books.
Meetings
At this time, regular monthly
meetings of the Princeton Group have been suspended. If they are
resumed, they will be announced at this site.
A small support group
continues to meet regularly, but to maintain its character as a
support group, its size is necessarily limited and it is not
accepting new members at this time.
Individuals familiar with the
Ornish program and interested in forming a support group please
write to
webmaster and we may be able to offer some assistance.
