Heart Revolution; The Extraordinary
Discovery That Finally Laid The Cholesterol Myth to Rest and
Put Good Food Back on the Table, by
Kilmer McCully, MD. Kilmer McCully discovered the role of homocysteine in the origin and development
of heart disease - one of the
most (if not the most) important
medical discoveries of the last century. His epoch discovery was ignored
for 26 years. Now it is known and recognized by every cardiologist
and most medical doctors. Even though the breakthrough homocysteine
discovery has finally been accepted, most doctors are still stuck on the
lipid (cholesterol) theory of heart disease evidenced by the fact that 30
million people are now on cholesterol lowering statin drugs.
It could increase to 100 million people if the recommendations
of statin drug companies are met.
If doctors would read McCully's
book (and Dr. Graveline's books below) they will realize that cholesterol
is a blessing not a curse – because our life and the life of every cell in
our body requires cholesterol. The answer to heart disease is lowering
homocysteine levels and inflammation in the arteries, not lowing Cholesterol
levels in the blood. See Life Extension Magazine interview with Dr.
McCully at:

Lipitor Thief of Memory, and Statin
Drugs - Side Effects: and the
Misguided War on Cholesterol,
By Astronaut Duane Graveline, MD, MPH. Two of the most important health books written for
this generation - a generation that has been brainwashed by false cholesterol
information and a generation including doctors that are largely unaware of
the memory robbing nature of Statin drugs. A MUST READ
for everyone taking Statin drugs and everyone concerned about heart disease,
cholesterol, aging, and EVERY MANIFESTATION OF MEMORY IMPAIRMENT whether
it be Alzheimer's, senile dementia, fibromyalgia "brain fog," transient global
amnesia (TGA), or just plain "senior moments"! See

eHealthy News You Can
Use http://www.mercola.com This is the website from the Optimal Wellness Center
of Joseph Mercola, D.O. It is the second most popular natural health
site in the world today and is in our opinion the best broad based, alternative
medical website - a must for anyone wanting to keep up to date on
all health care issues and options available. A
subscription to his weekly newsletter is free.
Dr. Mercola
is an evangelist for good health (and the causes he believes in) which he
shares freely. He is an independent thinker that does not parrot the
standard pharmaceutical, AMA consensus opinion - but believes "the standard
medical paradigm is broken and needs to be fixed." You can find information
on virtually any health care subject through the search engine on his website.
Medically speaking, Mercola is, "A voice crying in the widerness."
"Juice Guy" Website
http://www.juiceguy.com - From Hank Boschen nutritionist, is another
website that has lots of good do it yourself, be your own best doctor, take
responsibility for your own health, information about nutrition and natural
medicine presented in an outspoken manner but with good humor. Has been

Awakenings
Stars Robin Williams in the role of Oliver Sachs who discovered
L-dopa for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. A true saga about one
of the most important medical discoveries ever made. Robin Williams
is superb in the leading role, as is Dustin Hofman in a supporting role.
Lorenzo's Oil
The gripping true story
of Augusto and Michaela Odone and their endless struggle to find a cure for
their critically ill child. Academy Awards Nominee. You
will never forget this compelling movie. It will tear your heart out
but you will come away from seeing it, a changed and better person.
Patch Adams
Another true medical story
and an outrageously funny movie. You wont have more fun than this.
