Dr. Fuhrman's Tip of the Month

Each day the media presents horrific news of death and destruction caused by war, terrorism, and other violence. It virtually ignores a silent but much more deadly enemy . . . heart disease.

More than 1.5 million people will have a heart attack this year, with 1 million deaths resulting from heart attacks (or a death every 30 seconds). When it comes to combating heart disease, most information sources promote drugs and surgery as the only viable defenses. We need to keep in mind that angioplasty and bypass surgery have some significant adverse outcomes, including heart attacks, stroke and death. Most people treated with such interventions continue to suffer from, and eventually die from, heart disease. The average person is not aware that there are safer, more effective options available.

Fortunately, we can win the war against heart disease by making a few simple, but profound, dietary and lifestyle changes. In fact, if you start early enough, you can prevent a heart attack from happening to you. You can protect yourself against heart disease by accomplishing three simple goals:

LDL cholesterol level of 100 or lower
Healthful weight
Unmedicated, normal blood pressure
These goals are attainable without expensive and risky prescription drugs. My high-nutrient, vegetable-based diet has enabled patients to achieve remarkable reductions in these cardiac risk factors. In addition to dietary changes I recommend an all-natural, side-effect free nutritional supplement, if you need some extra help getting your LDL below 100. I have designed my own, unique supplement called LDL Protect, proven to be safe and effective.

Make the vow to be heart attack-proof and join our army battling against heart disease, Eat To Live!
