Review
------
"In 1993, Hillary asked Dr. Dean Ornish to consult
with us on improving our health and well-being and to train the
chefs who cooked for us at The White House, Camp David, and Air
Force One. I felt better and lost weight when I followed his
recommendations. As this book illustrates, my genes may have
been improving as well! If you want to see where medicine is
likely to be five or ten years from now, read this book today."
—President Bill Clinton
"Dr. Ornish's wonderful new book, The Spectrum, can make an
important difference in the health of the world at a time when it
most needs it."
—Gro Brundtland, M.D. Former Director General, World Health
Organization, United Nations Former Prime Minister, Norway
"Dr. Dean Ornish knows more about inspiring people to eat well,
live well, do well, and be well than anyone on the planet. The
Spectrum is a powerful book for living longer and better and
shows how to live a healthful, joyful and loving life. As Frank
Sinatra once told me, 'Live each day like it’s your last, and one
day you’ll be right.'"
—Quincy Jones
"Dr. Dean Ornish is one of my best students, and I agree with
what he is telling you. I have known him well for many years
now. So you should pay good attention to what he tells you in
his new book, which I am pleased to strongly support. I am in
complete agreement with what he is saying in The Spectrum."

to someone you love."

life-transforming.”
