About this title

Synopsis

Standard diagnoses and treatment fail to prevent and predict about 60 per cent of all heart attacks. This approach to preventing and reversing heart disease involves cutting-edge medical tests, followed by individualized treatment plans. The book includes four specific diets which will accommodate the needs of most readers; a variety of exercise programmes, with tips for specific problems; and a thorough discussion of prescription drugs and over-the-counter supplements with an analysis of who will benefit most from which. The "one size fits all" school of treatment is firmly rejected.
