Hi
Ornish's diet is a whole way of life and he also talks about meditation etc., reducing stress, love, exercise etc.
I was surprised that he didn't mention vitamin D because there is an epidemic of deficiency.....I am deficient in vitamin d and take supplements and vitamin d affects so many things
Nutrient Excesses/Deficiencies

The Ornish Diet may be deficient in calcium, iron, vitamin B12, and essential fatty acids. Dr. Ornish recommends supplementation with these nutrients.

Who Benefits


Mari asked if Ornish mentioned b12. You are right. since i have pernicious anemia I have to get shots every month. My doctor told me she is seeing so many people in their twenties with pernicious anemia she doesn't know what is happening. Before she just saw it mainly in older people.
I went to my pulmonary doctor and he said the tests were negative. I asked him how much weight i needed to lose before the shortness of breath would ease. he said about thirty pounds. I also gave him an example of where my anxiety also affects my shortness of breath when i am walking. I told him about my getting a dog and he was thrilled. I mentioned his name will be Luc and he said are you kidding. I said no and he told me he and his wife are expecting a baby in two weeks and he will be called Luke. I told him when i come in next time I want to see a picture. Then he said he wanted to see a picture of my Luc.
My short term memory is acting funny. I don't know if it has to do with stress or the diet.
love
