The great American heart hoax

lifesaving advice your doctor should tell you about heart disease prevention (but probably never will)

Addressing the importance of preventative measures over uncertain surgeries, this groundbreaking study reveals the secret to cardiovascular health. Illustrating the disturbing realities about the heart industry and how undependable bypass surgery can be, this survey argues the alternative—how the majority of people can employ much simpler methods, such as a change in diet, to achieve better results. Also featured is a 12-step program to improve heart health and reduce the risk of heart disease, including dieting advice, tips on exercise and stress management, methods for controlling cholesterol and blood pressure, and recommended vitamins and medicines.
