"Lowering Your Cholesterol Levels Can Kill You..." says a new book that refutes the medical profession and pharmaceutical makers regarding the treatment and prevention of heart disease, high blood pressure and strokes. How to Really Prevent and Cure Heart Disease shatters five leading myths that cost U.S. consumers nearly $200 billion per year alone. In an open challenge to conventional medicine, Dr. Gottfried A. Lange, M.D., one of the world's leading advocates for alternative approaches to treating heart disease worldwide, debunks the five most common myths about the causes and treatment of heart disease in his newest book entitled "How to Really Prevent and Cure Heart Disease". Dr. Lange's book is a wake-up call regarding the prevalent medical treatment of chronic diseases and prevention of hear diseases. It cites scientific study after study that show the following: * About $50 billion per year is paid to pharmaceutical companies for drugs to lower cholesterol without any tangible improvement in heart attack and stroke statistics. * Cholesterol does NOT cause heart attacks and strokes. * High cholesterol levels are actually associated with longer life expectancy and low cancer rates. * Every person who suffers from cancer has a very low cholesterol level. For example, a total cholesterol count of below 160 triples the risk for a women dying from lung cancer. * Low cholesterol may contribute to declining sexual functions, Alzheimer's disease and behavioral violence. In a world where cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death and where three of four people diagnosed with cardiovascular disease will die from heart attack or stroke, Dr. Lange offers well-documented preventative and curative approaches based on his quarter century of practice and research. Since receiving his M.D. from Hamburg University in 1980, Dr. Lange has specialized in natural medicine, cellular nutrition, and in life extension using vitamins and other powerful natural substances. Based on decades of practical experience sifting out what really works, Dr. Lange has spent the past fifteen years working with and lecturing to health professionals and consumers on the use of advanced vitamin formulas to prevent and cure common "killer" diseases, leading to the publication of his eye-opening new work. Dr. Lange maps out several well-documented remedies in his new book based on more than 250 scientific medical studies, reports, reviewed journals and his own work in cellular nutrition and detoxification. The natural approaches include specific vitamin and food supplement therapies, diet and exercise designed to specifically target arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. The book informs consumers on the proper working and functioning of cells and in particular shows how true healing must begin in the arterial wall itself. The book is available for purchase in both electronic and printed formats. It is highly recommended for anyone who is concerned about their own health and longevity, and especially those who have been diagnosed as having "high cholesterol", high blood pressure, artery deposits or heart disease. It is also recommended for anyone who has already had a stroke or heart attack, and who wants to research and take charge of their own health. This book provides vital information needed to really cure and prevent heart disease, strokes and high blood pressure and become or stay healthy and fit for a lifetime.
