A revolutionary and practical approach to preventing heart diseases, improving health and promoting life-long wellness.
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Kilmer S. McCully explains what is really behind the epidemic of heart disease. For many years, clogged arteries have been inaccurately viewed as the cause, rather than a symptom, of heart disease. Now, McCully shows you how to cut your risk of heart disease by controlling the real culprit, homocysteine. Considered one of the most significant medical breakthroughs in recent years, McCully's findings have been validated by numerous large-scale studies.
Discover the groundbreaking science that finally lays the cholesterol myth to rest:
- The Real Cause of Heart Disease: Learn why homocysteine, not cholesterol, is the true trigger for arteriosclerosis and how controlling it is the key to prevention.
- The Vitamin B Connection: Understand how deficiencies in essential B vitamins like B6, B12, and folic acid?often caused by modern food processing?can elevate dangerous homocysteine levels.
- Dangers of Processed Foods: Uncover how refining and processing strip vital nutrients from your diet, creating the vitamin deficiencies that put your heart at risk.
- The Heart Revolution Diet: Follow a practical, science-backed eating plan focused on delicious whole foods that naturally lower homocysteine and restore your body's balance.
