Healing Hearts with Plants: Indonesia’s Breakthrough in Cardiac Care

-

In the heart of Tangerang, Indonesia, a quiet revolution is taking place—one that’s reshaping the future of cardiac care, not with new drugs or surgeries, but with food.

At Bethsaida Hospital, Professor Dasaad Mulijono and his team have pioneered a bold, evidence-driven shift in how heart disease is treated. Their approach? A Plant-Based Diet (PBD) integrated into traditional medical care. And the results are nothing short of extraordinary.

From Pills to Plants: What’s Changing?

Since implementing the PBD program nearly seven years ago, the hospital’s Cardiology Centre has seen over 3,000 patients benefit from a holistic, nutrition-first approach to chronic conditions.

Patients with high blood pressure are achieving normal readings—without medication. Diabetics are coming off insulin. LDL cholesterol is plummeting. Heart failure patients are regaining energy and function. Even early signs of atherosclerosis—the silent buildup in arteries—are being reversed.

These aren’t isolated cases. With consistent nutritional counseling, AI-guided meal planning, and peer support, these outcomes are becoming the norm at Bethsaida.

How a Plant-Based Diet Heals

The science behind the success is both simple and powerful:

  • Fewer animal fats and more fiber help reduce cholesterol.
  • Plant nutrients reduce inflammation and support insulin sensitivity.
  • Natural weight loss occurs without calorie counting.
  • Blood vessels open up, kidney function improves, and inflammation subsides.

It’s a full-body reboot—not through restriction, but by feeding the body what it needs to heal itself.

More Than Just the Heart

While the primary focus is cardiovascular care, the ripple effects of this lifestyle change are broad. Patients with autoimmune diseases, kidney dysfunction, and even early-stage cancers have reported stabilization or symptom improvement under the plant-based program.

The Role of AI: Food Meets Technology

What makes this approach even more forward-thinking is the integration of Artificial Intelligence. Patients receive:

  • Tailored meal plans
  • Real-time support
  • Personalized education tools

This bridges the gap between intention and action, empowering patients to stay committed and informed.

Overcoming Skepticism

Of course, not everyone is on board—yet. Some in the medical community remain cautious, citing unfamiliarity with nutrition science or concerns about patient compliance. But as the data grows and success stories multiply, the resistance is slowly giving way to curiosity.

The Bethsaida team isn’t seeking praise—they’re asking others to try this model, test it, and build upon it. Chronic disease reversal, once thought impossible, is becoming a documented reality.

A New Era of Medicine

This isn't just about food. It’s about shifting how we think about health care—from reactive to preventive, from managing illness to restoring wellness.

Bethsaida Hospital’s experience proves that change is possible—deliciously possible—and perhaps it's time for the global medical community to pull up a chair at the table.

Bordetella bronchiseptica Infection in an Immunocompetent Adult: A Rare Zoonotic Threat

-
📢 A recent article “ Bordetella bronchiseptica Infection in an Immunocompetent Adult and a Literature Review on this Rare Zoonosis ” published in the Journal of Biomedical Research & Environmental Sciences (JBRES) highlights a rare case of Bordetella bronchiseptica infection in an immunocompetent adult and provides a comprehensive literature review on this uncommon zoonotic disease. JBRES is currently inviting submissions related to emerging zoonotic infections and their clinical significance. Understanding Bordetella bronchiseptica: An Uncommon Human Pathogen Zoonotic infections continue to pose unique challenges in medical science, particularly when they manifest in unexpected hosts. Bordetella bronchiseptica , a Gram-negative bacterium primarily associated with respiratory infections in animals, has been increasingly recognized as a potential, albeit rare, cause of human infections. While immunocompromised individuals are more susceptible, recent case studies indicate th...
