Summary

Cardiovascular disease claims more lives than the next eight leading causes of death combined, including cancer, accidents, and AIDS. And, despite an aggressive campaign launched by the American Heart Association to counter the epidemic of heart disease, one person dies every 33 seconds. For nearly four decades, we have relied on medical myths to guide us in our attempts to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease. We have been told to reduce our cholesterol, saturated-fat intake, and to take lipid-lowering medications. Unfortunately, these recommendations have been shown to actually increase the risk of premature death, stroke, heart attacks, anxiety and depression, suicide, senile dementia, and congestive heart failure. Learn how you can prevent and reverse high blood pressure, heart attacks, stoke, and heart disease naturally-without dangerous drugs.
