Product Description:
Nearly one million Americans die each year from cardiovascular-related illnesses. That's 41% of all U.S. deaths and as many as the next eight causes of death combined - including cancer, accidents and AIDS. Due to an aggressive campaign launched by the American Heart Association, we've reduced our cholesterol, cut out saturated fat, and faithfully taken our lipid-lowering medications as directed. But the suffering and deaths continue. Where are we going wrong? Dr. Murphree offers reliable answers and solutions you can implement today, based on scientific research published in medical journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine, The British Medical Journal, and The Lancet. Myth: Prescription drugs are a safe and effective way to manage high blood pressure and heart disease. Fact: Find out what commonly prescribed drugs increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, and death by 500% but are still being endorsed based on outdated, misinterpreted clinical trials. Find out which major drug company suppressed their own test results for nearly two years - and why. Myth: Cholesterol causes arteriosclerosis. Fact: Most individuals with arteriosclerosis have normal cholesterol levels. Find out what the real risk factors are and which gender can effectively ignore their cholesterol levels altogether. Myth: High cholesterol levels are dangerous; low-fat diets are safe. Fact: You'll live longer with high cholesterol levels than low ones. Find out what fats your heart is really calling out for and the nutritional imbalance that could be causing your pain. Myth: Angiograms are a safe, accurate tool for measuring blocked arteries. Fact: The New England Journal of Medicine called them expensive and useless. Dr. Murphree calls them deceptive and dangerous, and he clearly explains the risks. Myth: "Life-saving" heart surgery has been proven safe and effective. Fact: Neither bypass nor angioplasty stent surgery has ever been proven to achieve anything but inflated insurance premiums. The National Institute of Health estimates that 90% of Americans who undergo bypass surgery receive no benefit from the surgery and an increased likelihood of death. Don't even think about starting statin drugs, implementing a low-fat diet, or choosing heart surgery until you've read this book. You deserve the whole truth.
