The Cardiovascular Cureoffers a groundbreaking approach to preventing heart attack and stroke by enhancing your body’s own natural defenses. Dr. John Cooke, head of Stanford Medical School’s vascular unit, has devised a powerful new method for fighting cardiovascular disease without bypass surgery or angioplasty. Drawing on his own investigations, as well as Nobel Prize-winning research from a team of American scientists, Dr. Cooke provides heart patients with a diet, supplement, and exercise program that will help them feel better in as little as two weeks. His program also works to prevent heart disease in those at risk. In 1998, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded for the discovery of EDRF (endothelium-derived relaxing factor), a chemical produced in the lining of the blood vessels, which keeps them free of plaque. Dr. Cooke and other investigators have found that specific nutrients can enhance EDRF production and improve blood flow in people with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or other risk factors for heart disease. This potentially life-saving book shows how anyone can achieve healthier blood vessels (the key to preventing heart disease). A two-week menu plan contains recipes that emphasize EDRF-enhancing foods, and there is detailed information on supplemental nutrients and vitamins that are useful in strengthening the cardiovascular system. Recipes from breakfast (Banana Date-Nut Bread; Blueberry Oat Pancakes; Pineapple Ginger or Tropical Smoothies; Pumpkin Muffins) to dinner (Moroccan Red Snapper; Chicken Wrap with Refried Beans; Soy-Glazed Salmon; Turkey Meatloaf) feature healthy fats found in fish, nuts, and olive oil. There is also welcome news that red wine and chocolate can be good for you (there are recipes for Double Chocolate Cake and Chocolate Raspberry Surprise). The exercise program consists of the same therapeutic plans Dr. Cooke has prescribed for even his most severely ill patients, many of whom begin to walk and even exercise more vigorously without pain after two weeks. In addition, there are aerobic workouts designed for more active patients. Dr. Cooke also provides state-of-the-art information (pro and con) on conventional drugs–from aspirin to beta blockers–and medical tests and procedures to further combat cardiovascular disease. With an introduction by Sir John Vane, a Nobel Prize-winning cardiovascular scientist, this book will provide anyone concerned about his or her cardiovascular health with new hope for a pain-free, disease-free life.

A proven program to prevent, treat, and reverse cardiovascular disease and risk factors naturally, using diet, exercise, nutritional supplementation, and relaxation techniques-and without the use of pharmaceutical drugs. Americans are obsessed with heart health, yet most of us don't do the most basic things to take care of ours. In The All-Natural Cardio Cure, Dr. Allan Magaziner outlines a program for heart health that works to prevent, treat, and reverse the causes of cardiovascular problems, rather than merely treating them once they arise. Developed in clinical practice, Magaziner's comprehensive approach can help to: * lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides; * inhibit the inflammatory processes that lead to hardening of the arteries; * reduce blood pressure; * decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke; and * improve overall health. The All-Natural Cardio Curehas actually helped many people to eliminate or reduce their need for medication. The keys to this strategy are specific elements of diet, exercise, nutritional supplementation, and relaxation techniques, integrated in a clearly delineated way that is easy to follow and, most important, proven effective.

"Lowering Your Cholesterol Levels Can Kill You..." says a new book that refutes the medical profession and pharmaceutical makers regarding the treatment and prevention of heart disease, high blood pressure and strokes. How to Really Prevent and Cure Heart Disease shatters five leading myths that cost U.S. consumers nearly $200 billion per year alone. In an open challenge to conventional medicine, Dr. Gottfried A. Lange, M.D., one of the world's leading advocates for alternative approaches to treating heart disease worldwide, debunks the five most common myths about the causes and treatment of heart disease in his newest book entitled "How to Really Prevent and Cure Heart Disease". Dr. Lange's book is a wake-up call regarding the prevalent medical treatment of chronic diseases and prevention of hear diseases. It cites scientific study after study that show the following: * About $50 billion per year is paid to pharmaceutical companies for drugs to lower cholesterol without any tangible improvement in heart attack and stroke statistics. * Cholesterol does NOT cause heart attacks and strokes. * High cholesterol levels are actually associated with longer life expectancy and low cancer rates. * Every person who suffers from cancer has a very low cholesterol level. For example, a total cholesterol count of below 160 triples the risk for a women dying from lung cancer. * Low cholesterol may contribute to declining sexual functions, Alzheimer's disease and behavioral violence. In a world where cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death and where three of four people diagnosed with cardiovascular disease will die from heart attack or stroke, Dr. Lange offers well-documented preventative and curative approaches based on his quarter century of practice and research. Since receiving his M.D. from Hamburg University in 1980, Dr. Lange has specialized in natural medicine, cellular nutrition, and in life extension using vitamins and other powerful natural substances. Based on decades of practical experience sifting out what really works, Dr. Lange has spent the past fifteen years working with and lecturing to health professionals and consumers on the use of advanced vitamin formulas to prevent and cure common "killer" diseases, leading to the publication of his eye-opening new work. Dr. Lange maps out several well-documented remedies in his new book based on more than 250 scientific medical studies, reports, reviewed journals and his own work in cellular nutrition and detoxification. The natural approaches include specific vitamin and food supplement therapies, diet and exercise designed to specifically target arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. The book informs consumers on the proper working and functioning of cells and in particular shows how true healing must begin in the arterial wall itself. The book is available for purchase in both electronic and printed formats. It is highly recommended for anyone who is concerned about their own health and longevity, and especially those who have been diagnosed as having "high cholesterol", high blood pressure, artery deposits or heart disease. It is also recommended for anyone who has already had a stroke or heart attack, and who wants to research and take charge of their own health. This book provides vital information needed to really cure and prevent heart disease, strokes and high blood pressure and become or stay healthy and fit for a lifetime.
