DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn average, 50% of all heart attacks are silent – that is, they are painless and leave behind damage that remains undetected – unless the patient and his or her doctor are looking for it. Silent heart disease is a significant cause of sudden death – American’s number one public health problem with more than 600,000 sudden deaths and 1.5 million heart attacks occurring in the U.S. each year. This book tells you everything you need to know in the order to detect and treat this silent killer. Written by a celebrated cardiologist who has successfully treated thousands of patients in his career spanning 50 years, it offers practical advice for all readers and provides insight into a type of asymptomatic cardiac condition that affects almost half of all those afflicted with heart disease.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMillions of Americans follow the "best" medical advice every day to prevent heart attacks -- eating the standard low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet so widely recommended by doctors -- but in fact they are placing themselves at greater risk for heart disease. In Syndrome X: Overcoming the Silent Killer That Can Give You a Heart Attack, Dr. Gerald Reaven, the world-renowned physician who identified and named this silent killer, explains why the standard heart-healthy diet can be dangerous and lays out a simple six-step program to reduce the risk of heart disease for everyone. The problem stems from a little-known cluster of metabolic abnormalities known as Syndrome X. The insulin resistance that lies at the heart of the syndrome can turn normal rules of good health upside down and dramatically increase the risk of heart disease. Fortunately, Syndrome X can be cured. This important book explains how to identify the disorder and provides a program of diet and exercise (plus medication when necessary) that can render Syndrome X harmless. Tested in carefully controlled research settings and in practice, this remarkable new approach has the ability to reduce the risk of heart attacks and heart disease for all of us. Dr. Reaven shows how eating a diet relatively high in "good" fats (40 percent of calories) can dramatically lower the risk of heart disease if you have Syndrome X. The approach seems paradoxical: Everyone "knows" that fat is bad, so how can more fat possibly lead to better health? The answer lies in the type of fat and the body chemistry of the people who consume it. If you have the abnormal metabolism called Syndrome X, eating a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet to lower your LDL and blood fats won't protect you. In fact, doing so will increase the odds of heart disease. Millions of Americans have the potentially deadly, yet easily identifiable signs of Syndrome X -- but few cases are detected in time, because most physicians don't know what to look for. This trailblazing book will change that, making doctors and patients aware of the problem -- and its easy solution, an integrated program of diet and exercise that simultaneously reduces all the risk factors for heart disease, including Syndrome X. Dr. Reaven's discovery of Syndrome X has shown us that the standard approach to preventing heart disease is dangerous for many of us. Now, his safe, proven new approach explains how millions can drastically reduce their risk of heart disease. His program works not only for those who have Syndrome X, but also for anyone who simply wants to reduce the risk of heart disease.

This book is dedicated to the sufferers who are now, or have in the past, enduring the Silent Killer symptoms that cause great discomfort and disruption to their lives. Having overcome the Silent Killer lifestyle myself, writing about my experience is an effort to help others overcome its attack in one's personal life. This book shares some of the early warning signs of how these emotional experiences work to debilitate and bring disorder to your life. It explains the key factors you need to know in order to confront and destroy the Silent Killer in your life and how to take back control of your life by exposing what I call the Tunnel Lifestyle. Many symptoms of the Silent Killer are life threatening and debilitating that these symptoms can, and often do, affect the functions of the mind. I pray that you will use the information in this book to discover freedom in life that you deserve, but have yet to experience. Awareness will place you on the road to recovery. Often we forget that we are spirit beings as well as human beings. Because of this, we are compassed about with distractions that are designed to work against us, to keep us from growing and unfolding the gifts that are within us, which keep us from reaching our destiny. My hope is in sharing how these emotional traits affect you and how these symptoms work against you, you too will be able to overcome these anxieties, allowing the healing process to begin in your life.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPULITZER PRIZE WINNER • NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The “remarkable” (Ken Burns), “utterly absorbing” (Forbes) Civil War classic that inspired the film Gettysburg, with more than three million copies in print “My favorite historical novel . . . a superb re-creation of the Battle of Gettysburg, but its real importance is its insight into what the war was about, and what it meant.”—James M. McPherson In the four most bloody and courageous days of our nation’s history, two armies fought for two conflicting dreams. One dreamed of freedom, the other of a way of life. Far more than rifles and bullets were carried into battle. There were memories. There were promises. There was love. And far more than men fell on those Pennsylvania fields. Bright futures, untested innocence, and pristine beauty were also the casualties of war. Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer Prize–winning masterpiece is unique, sweeping, unforgettable—the dramatic story of the battleground for America’s destiny.
