Heart Disease: Drug-Free Alternatives to Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (What Doctors Don't tell You)

by Lynne McTaggart (Editor)

Overview

One of the most respected U.S. health magazines cuts through the myths surrounding heart disease to provide effective prevention and treatment strategies
 
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women in the West, yet so little is known about it. Despite the billions of dollars spent on researching its causes, conventional medicine continues to offer treatments that are based on false observations. Many still believe, for example, that fatty foods clog the arteries (they don’t) and that LDL cholesterol is the villain (it’s not—it’s merely a symptom). Find out the real causes, how to treat heart disease, and how to prevent it in this essential guide.
 
What Doctors Don’t Tell You is a well-respected international magazine that has been researching medicine—alternative and conventional—since 1989. It is now widely regarded as one of the best health newsletters in the world. Now, in association with What Doctors Don’t Tell You, Hay House is publishing an authoritative new series of books, each focusing on a common health condition or concern, to help readers make informed decisions about their health, and the health of their families.
