Holistic healing is this doctor's best medicine

Holistic healing is this doctor's best medicine: "'Can this man save your heart? How Dean Ornish is shaking up medicine.'
Mark Hyman, a personal physician to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, is one of many in the medical establishment who have been won over by Ornish's research.
'Everyone knows that it is good to eat well and exercise, but few people know that if you apply these same things to people who are already sick, you can reverse it,' said Hyman, a board member of the Institute for Functional Medicine, which trains health care providers and stresses personalized medicine and prevention.
'Dean's work is not about looking at a drug to treat a person, but looking at treating the person. He should get the Nobel Prize for using research to show we can reverse chronic disease and showing we can change our gene expression.'"
