Before the Heart Attacks by Robert Superko, MD

Dr. Superko's excellent book will change the way many doctors treat (and PREVENT) heart disease by testing for the "cardiac fingerprints" that help determine each person's UNIQUE risk factors for diseases of the coronary & carotid arteries (as well as peripheral vascular arteries)…if the doctors read this book.

By testing for ALL of the major risk factors, doctors will now be able to devise a "battle plan" that is tailored to the individual patient. This will no doubt significantly reduce the individual's risk of suffering a coronary "event" (as well as strokes and other disorders associated with diseased arteries).

Bypassing Bypass by Elmer Cranton, MD

My dad is an MD and was skeptical when my mom (herself an RN) insisted on having Chelation Therapy over 10 years ago. My mom was not far from the exit from this life from many different ailments (including arteries which were 90% clogged). After several treatments, mom's health perked up so much that my dad became a believer and went in for Chelation Therapy himself (his arteries were also mostly clogged). Mom and Dad are still alive and in pretty good health.

My uncle had serious heart disease caused by clogged arteries, and was already in line to get open heart surgery when mom told him about what Chelation Therapy did for her. So my uncle dropped his open-heart surgery for the Chelation Therapy and never looked back.

My copy of the book is the 1990 printing of the book that my mom gave me after she became a "convert." I have been spreading the word to anybody I know who has heart problems.

Thank you Dr. Elmer Cranton for your dedication to Chelation Therapy and for saving so many lives.

[The first, and still the best, source for understanding chelation therapy. What does it do and why is it recommended.]

From an online reviewer:

"Forty Something Forever" by Harold and Arline Brecher, is, with the exception of its title, one of the best investigative reports and consumer guides ever written in the field of medicine.

What is most impressive is the fact that all statements are backed up by substantial medical authorities and references, including names, addresses, and phone numbers of many doctors and organizations all across the USA.

After reading the book I rejected the risk of a second bypass surgery and decided to try chelation therapy in the Big Island of Hawaii where I live. I chose the medical supervision of Doctor Clif Arrington, recommended by the book for this region and voted one of the island's two best doctors.

Not only did my personal experience more than confirm all I had read in the book, but I was exposed to other patients, and, after hearing one astounding story after another, I undertook the task of interviewing several for the good doctor's website. …

I recommend that you get copies of this book to give to those suffering from any of the conditions best treated by chelation therapy.

If you have Syndrome X -- and 60 to 75 million Americans do -- the widely recommended low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet may be the surest route to a heart attack. Now, Gerald Reaven, M.D., the pioneering Stanford University doctor who discovered Syndrome X, explains why:

  • Even if your total cholesterol level is perfect, it may not shield you from a heart attack.
  • Carbohydrates can be just as harmful as red meat or butter.
  • A diet high in "good" fats (as much as 40 percent of calories) is actually better for you.
  • The Zone diet, the Atkins diet, and the American Heart Association diet can each be dangerous under certain conditions.
  • The failure of insulin, the body's "sugar cop," to process blood sugar is the key to Syndrome X.
  • The Syndrome X diet and exercise program will keep you healthy and protect your heart even if you do not suffer from insulin resistance.
  • Tested in carefully controlled research settings and in practice, the Syndrome X program is safe, effective, and easy to follow.

    Syndrome X: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Insulin Resistance by Burt Berkson

    At last we have a book that explains some of the mystery behind middle-age. Syndrome X is the first book to present the new science explaining mid-life weight gain, rising cholesterol levels, and dropping energy levels. Yes, your middle-age metabolism is different and these changes have more to do with your diet and nutrition than your age!

    Syndrome X will help you put together a plan to overcome resistance to your own insulin. This is more than an abstract concept, it is the essence behind the current epidemic of obesity, high blood pressure and adult-onset diabetes.

    Author's Challem, Berkson, and Smith are to be commended. They have written an easy to understand book which provides a common sense plan for overcoming Syndrome X. Most importantly they cut through the current rhetoric and teach you how to treat yourself with a healthy diet. Everyone should read this book and take a copy to their doctor.

    The Coenzyme Q10 Phenomenon by Stephen Sinatra, MD.

    Coenzyme Q10 (often abbreviated as CoQ10) is essential for human life. It catalyzes the formation and utilization of energy in every human cell.

    Fortunately, our bodies manufacture CoQ10. Unfortunately, some people do not manufacture enough CoQ10 to keep them healthy, especially as they grow older.

    Research has shown that deficiency of CoQ10 is the major cause of cardiomyopathy, and congestive heart failure and these diseases can often be cured by CoQ10 supplementation. Even many heart transplant candidates have no longer needed a heart transplant after supplementation with CoQ10. Now it has been found that CoQ10 can also prevent -- and, sometimes, even cure -- cancer, as well a variety of other diseases.

    Dr. Stephen Sinatra -- a board-certified cardiologist -- is a world-renowned expert on CoQ10 and its health benefits. I beg your to buy and read this book and heed Dr. Sinatra's information and advice.

    Wonderful short book on newer concepts of cardio vascular disease and health. A must read including sensible exercise and eating routines.

    This book should find its way onto the shelf of any self-respecting cardiologist, preferably dislodging the seriously over-used prescription pad from its prominent position front and center in the battle against heart disease. Highly recommended to one and all!
