I read one of Dr. Ornish's books and he discussed a case of one of his test subjects having FH. I believe it was in "Eat More, Weigh Less". Even though his cholesterol was high, he found that there was indeed reversal of heart disease by using the methods of angiogram and PET scans to measure the amount blockage and the blood flow of the coronary arteries. One thing Dr. Ornish stresses in his books that isn't really mentioned much in "Eat to Live" or in Dr. McDougall's books is other factors of lifestyle that may be just as important as diet. Stress management, having people to love and who give love, and belief in a higher power. These other factors may be more important in a case such as yours. I suggest reading his book. It is good to get many different viewpoints.
I agree with you about complexity. I think health is a very complex issue that will take decades, if ever, to fully understand.
