In Why Animals Don't Get Heart Attacks, But People Do, Matthias Rath, M.D., an internationally respected cardiovascular researcher, asserts that high cholesterol is not the actual cause of heart disease. Bears, for example, have average cholesterol levels of 400 milligrams per deciliter of blood, but they don't suffer heart attacks. Why? According to Dr. Rath, it is because bears produce large amounts of vitamin C, which optimizes collagen production and ensures maximum stability of their artery walls.

Dr. Rath's research identifies the true cause of heart disease as a deficiency of vitamin C and other essential nutrients in the cells composing the heart and coronary arteries - not high cholesterol. Once the artery wall is weakened by vitamin deficiency, the body responds by producing excess cholesterol in the liver and depositing it in the injured artery. If this process continues without nutritional intervention, the buildup of fats in the arteries will eventually lead to atherosclerosis, the cause of heart attacks.

Using easy-to-understand language, Dr. Rath explains what the reader can do to prevent heart attacks and other cardiovascular conditions naturally. He presents his ten-step program for achieving natural cardiovascular health, as well as his clinically proven Cellular Health nutrient recommendations for preventing and improving heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart failure, arrhythmia, diabetes and other conditions. Dr. Rath even provides clinical proof - complete with the Ultrafast CT scans of patient's arteries - of the natural reversal of atherosclerotic deposits, without angioplasty or bypass surgery.

This revised edition of Why Animals Don't Get Heart Attacks, But People Do! has been updated with new research findings that corroborate Dr. Rath's vitamin C deficiency-heart disease discovery, his cardiovascular presentation at Stanford Medical School, and information about the recent efforts of the pharmaceutical industry to suppress his medical breakthrough. Dr. Rath also exposes the pharmaceutical industry's profit motives for pushing statin drugs, which do not target the true cause of heart disease and have dangerous side effects.

Why Animals Don't Get Heart Attacks, But People Do! is the blueprint for a new health care system based on the needs of patients, not profits from statin drug sales. The information contained on its pages will empower readers to take control of their cardiovascular health and end their dependency on pharmaceutical drugs.

About the Author
Matthias Rath, M.D. is an internationally respected cardiovascular researcher who worked closely with the late two-time Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling, Ph.D. Dr. Rath was appointed by Pauling as the first director of cardiovascular research at the Linus Pauling Institute, formerly located in California.

The author of four bestselling health books, Dr. Rath developed the scientific concept of Cellular Medicine, which defines the deficiency of nutrients at the cellular level as a root cause of chronic diseases. His research has been published in numerous scientific journals, including the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine and the Journal of Applied Nutrition


Review:

not very informative

Not a very informative book about the actual science of supplementing to avoid nutrient deficiency - more a blanket statement that it's a good idea. It's written mainly in short-section bullet-point style. It is unrelenting in letting you know that Dr Rath is a great medical revolutionary. I was surprised to come across a section on the benefits of Vitamin C for diabetes, so I googled the topic and immediately came across a study where vitamin C had a negative effect for diabetics - at odds with the glowing recommendation of vitamin C for diabetics in the book.

Review:

Dr. Rath is Changing the Face of Healthcare as we Know it!

I must applaud Dr. Rath as a progressive, cutting-edge health pioneer and consumer advocate! This book on heart disease is truly a gem, as far as cellular health and nutrition are concerned. This book provides powerful insight into the \"real\" underlying mechanisms of heart disease and how to be proactive in the prevention of this disease. Dr. Rath is a true champion of information that has taken investigative journalism to another level in order to expose the unethical and corrupt practices of many health industry giants. It is obvious throughout Dr. Rath's work, empowering the public through knowledge is his number-one priority. He has made it his mission to expose the erroneous and perpetually publicized corporate propaganda concerning health and medicine. I encourage readers to support his remarkable efforts to change the face of healthcare as we know it!
