The American Heart Association says that Cardiovascular disease accounts for nearly 836,546 deaths in the US. That's about 1 of every 3 deaths in the US.

Stephen Purvis is a retired chiropractor who sought alternative health care to treat a heart condition after being given five years to live in 2001. He discovered a way to rejuvenate his heart and made an unprecedented recovery. By sharing his protocols, he hopes to help others recover as he did. I recovered from severe congestive heart failure and I can show you how to recover and save your life, too. If you suffer from heart disease and follow my protocols, your heart muscle and heart valves may be rehabilitated and refurbished. You may increase your lifespan and improve your quality of life.

I'm not a medical physician nor do I have any extensive education on heart disease or congestive heart failure. I'm simply your everyday guy who found himself with a critical medical condition that if not treated correctly, could easily cost me my life. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a very serious condition that shouldn't be ignored. Honestly, I can say when I was first informed of my condition; I wasn't' concerned about who else was suffering from this condition or other people's opinions. What was fresh in my mind was that my father died three months after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I know firsthand what a person experience when they are diagnosed and living with CHF. My objective with this book is not to only encourage you, but also share with you steps I took to improve my condition. Six months after being diagnosed with an ejection fraction of 30%, I received a surprising phone call from the RN who was responsible for monitoring my progress. She called me after my second echo Heart Scan test results and stated, "Mr. Westbrooks, I'm not sure what took place, but I'm happy to inform you that the Echocardiogram test results show that your heart's ejection fraction improved tremendously and you're no longer on our CHF monitoring program. My heart's ejection fraction improved from 30% to 50%. No one was able to convince me that I would be able to do this.

"Our knowledge of human biology doubles every four years." This makes it nearly impossible for physicians to stay current on the latest research in their own fields let alone in all of the others that directly effect their ability to properly treat their patients. In this new book by Bio Researcher Ray Reynolds you will learn... How heart muscle cells have the ability to stay alive by hibernating when deprived of oxygen. The four nutriants needed to revive them after the coranary artery blockage has been removed. How to utilize minimum effective doses of heart medications to regulate your blood pressure and pulse. The mechanics and symptoms of heart failure. The prescription medication that is 30% more effective than enalapril and will be available in 2015. These are just a few of the proven congestive heart failure healing strategies that Ray Reynolds discuses in his new book "Congestive Heart Failure Recovery." In it he provides a detailed presentation of the latest research data for preventing and treating heart failure. Heart muscle cells are able to shut down and hibernate for extended periods of time. This allows them to easily survive on the small amount of oxygen that leaks past a coronary artery obstruction until it is removed. Unfortunately afterwards they are usually in a stunted condition that requires very high blood plasma levels of the the proper nutrients to allow them to regain normal function. This book will explain how to provide them with that nutrient rich environment that will return them to normal contractile function. Reynolds is a 66 year old research biologist and lifelong body builder. This is the story of how congestive heart failure turned him into an invalid who could not walk more than twenty feet without gasping for breath and how he completely recovered from that condition in 6 months. An exhaustive list of the common supplements that took him from not being able to walk up a flight of stairs to running up them two steps at a time one week latter is included. This would be enough of a miracle by itself even if he were not currently living at 7,500 feet in the high sierras of southern Peru where there is 17 percent less oxygen per breath. If you have congestive heart failure or know someone who does, the information in this book will be of great help. Granted Ray was in excellent physical condition prior to the heart attack and subsequent congestive heart failure but the research shows that nearly everyone, even people in their 70s who are bed ridden from heart failure show exponential improvement using this simple treatment protocol that a few knowledgeable cardiologists have used for the last 30 years. If you or someone you know is currently suffering from heart failure this book will provide you with the latest research data that you will need to help treat it.

The New York Times bestselling guide to the lifesaving diet that can both prevent and help reverse the effects of heart disease Based on the groundbreaking results of his twenty-year nutritional study, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn illustrates that a plant-based, oil-free diet can not only prevent the progression of heart disease but can also reverse its effects. Dr. Esselstyn is an internationally known surgeon, researcher and former clinician at the Cleveland Clinic and a featured expert in the acclaimed documentary Forks Over Knives. Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease has helped thousands across the country, and is the book behind Bill Clinton’s life-changing vegan diet. The proof lies in the incredible outcomes for patients who have followed Dr. Esselstyn's program, including a number of patients in his original study who had been told by their cardiologists that they had less than a year to live. Within months of starting the program, all Dr. Esselstyn’s patients began to improve dramatically, and twenty years later, they remain free of symptoms. Complete with more than 150 delicious recipes perfect for a plant-based diet, the national bestseller Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease explains the science behind the simple plan that has drastically changed the lives of heart disease patients forever. It will empower readers and give them the tools to take control of their heart health.
