You are a good example of a good approach to your heart disease. Ornish is not unique in his approach - we can all agree that healthier lifestyles are beneficial. However, he cannot demonstrate any reversal of heart disease, and it is impossible to differentiate between cause and effect since there are so many variables and a lack of studies based on his program. The problem is when people believe that his solutions alone can provide some magic bullet. You are wise in that you incorporate the 80 mg of rosuvastatin in addition to the healthy lifestyle. This has been demonstrated in numerous independent double-blind peer reviewed studies to have a tangible benefit. Others can "whine" about comparisons to unproven theories, but you will most likely enjoy a longer healthier life.
