Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Junior's father (Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Senior) was Lou Gehrig's personal physician right up to the time of Lou Gehrig's passing in 1941. Dr. Esselstyn Junior wrote the popular diet book, "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease". Dr. Esselstyn, Senior was a surgeon in New York City during that time and he was assigned Lou Gehrig as a patient. Dr. E Sr. visited Mr. Gehrig's home every day to make sure he was okay and was by his side when Lou passed. Dr. E. Sr., then went on to form a foundation called the "Rip Van Winkle Foundation" which focused on giving everyone low cost healthcare. Dr. Esselstyn, Jr. serves on the board of the foundation today.
