Find out why doctor-recommended heart treatments only benefit 3% of patients…and how you can slash your heart disease risk without drugs, surgery, or mainstream medical intervention
By Ian Robinson
Heart disease is America’s number one killer. One out of every two Americans over the age of
65 has atherosclerosis – a condition that damages or kills heart tissue and can lead to sudden heart failure and even death.
It’s likely that you or a loved one will face this killer head-on at some point in your life. So you need to understand exactly what you’re up against… and learn exactly how to protect your heart – and your life.
To do that you have to know how lifestyle choices affect your heart. And what’s going to damage it over time.
The big problem is… most of the things your doctor tells you about protecting your heart are based on flawed, out-dated theories. So each day you may be injuring your heart a little more… just by following your doctor’s advice. And because your doctor is proceeding from a false assumption… many of the things he does to treat your failing heart only make it worse.
Mainstream doctors typically address atherosclerosis with one of three treatments:
•             Coronary angioplasty, with or without stents
•             Coronary bypass or “open heart” surgery
•             Statin drug therapy
Each year over one million Americans opt for coronary angioplasty. 427,000 Americans have open heart surgery. And US doctors write 11.6 million prescriptions for statin drugs – each month…
But overwhelming research – from respected medical institutions like Stanford University and Harvard Medical School – reveals evidence that these treatments are money-making scams that do more harm than good.
When we found out that these multi-billion-dollar treatments were putting patients in harm’s way, we sought out answers. It was easy to understand why doctors would continue to prescribe these treatments. Combined, they generate over $100 billion each year for the medical industry.
But why aren’t these treatments effective?
It turns out that these traditional options don’t combat heart disease effectively because they don’t address the disease’s actual cause.
No studies prove that any of these options fix the root cause of heart disease.
But published studies do show:
•             Two big reasons why current medical thinking on heart disease is flawed. And why this approach doesn’t improve heart health…
•             That doctors overestimate artery narrowing to justify surgery, according to Harvard Medical School.
•             How 30 percent of all heart surgery is totally unnecessary…
•             How bypass surgery kills patients: the death rate has quadrupled in recent years – and continues to rise…
And that’s not all. Three different clinical trials showed coronary bypass surgery only benefits three percent of patients…
One Harvard doctor says, “For almost everyone else… there are no survival benefits at all.”
He believes “cardiology and heart surgery are the cash cows of the American health-care system.”
And his theory is supported by findings from Stanford. In a study of 900 bypass patients, researchers found that surgery helped at first… but didn’t fix the underlying problem. They found that these risky and costly surgeries buy some time… but the problem comes back. And it doesn’t take much time to return. In fact, health issues often reappeared in much less than five years.
