Fortunately, forward-thinking scientists have developed new methods and continue to use tried-and-true forms of research that harm neither people nor animals. Gordon Baxter, cofounder of Pharmagene Laboratories, a drug research company that uses only human tissues and computers to develop and test drugs, points out: “If you have information on human genes, what’s the point of going back to animals?”
To date, the only cure for heart disease – a low-fat vegan diet, exercise and stress management – was developed by Dr Dean Ornish, who worked with human patients, not with rats and dogs. Dr Ornish is the only researcher who has ever been documented as having reversed heart disease in humans. BHF will not say how much – if any – of their funds go towards educating the public about Dr Ornish’s groundbreaking work with cardiac patients. A vegetarian diet can also help prevent heart disease.
