A Heart Attack May Arrive Suddenly and Without Warning.

I lived to tell about it. Some people aren't so lucky.

For 30% of the 1.2 million heart attack victims each year the first sign of a problem is sudden death. Half of these unexpected events occur in women.

Gene Millen, heart bypass survivor I'm Gene Millen. About seventeen years ago a highly skilled heart surgeon, sawed open my chest and stitched in bypasses to six of my favorite heart arteries.

Six heart bypasses isn't’ a record but it’s not bad for a skinny 59-year-old non-smoker with normal cholesterol and blood pressure and no family history of heart disease. Gene's story.

Since my heart bypass operation in 1990, my passion has been to learn exactly what causes heart attacks and strokes and how we can avoid them!

I've spent hundreds of hours sifting through clinical research for the latest information you (and I) need to know to keep our hearts as strong and vital as our Creator designed them to be.

Are you confused by conflicting claims and media hype about heart disease? Who wouldn't be? National author and fitness consultant, James Rippee says it better than I could.

“We have too much knowledge, too much media
exposure to ‘breakthroughs and controversies’.
What we need is more common sense!"

As Will Rogers so aptly put it, "Common sense ain't common."

It's my aim to help you understand what the really important heart attack risks are and how you can improve your odds of having a vital and healthy heart for a long, long time.

The conventional wisdom is that heart disease is caused by high cholesterol and the best way to lower cholesterol is with statin drugs.

The pharmaceutical industry spends millions to convince us (and our doctors) that Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor or Vytorin are just what you need for a healthy heart.

Statin drugs do lower LDL cholesterol, however if you are betting your life on these drugs alone to save you from a heart attack you could be in for an unpleasant surprise.

For example the fine print disclosure that has been appearing on Crestor's television commercials is not exactly a ringing endorsement of their drug. Here's what it says in a type size large enough to read:

"Crestor has NOT been shown to
prevent heart disease or heart attacks."

The INTERHEART study, which was recently published in the prestigious Lancet Medical Journal, describes the primary risk factors that lead to a heart attack or stroke.

And guess what? High LDL cholesterol is not in the top three!

Fortunately there is one voice of reason crying in the wilderness of main stream gobbledygook...Dr. Al Sears.

I discovered Dr. Sears about two years ago and have been increasingly impressed with his knowledge and his natural approach.

Dr. Sears has a very successful medical practice in Florida and a remarkable track record. He has produced results for thousands of people from around the world.

I've learned an amazing amount of information from Dr. Al and recommend that you take a look at his book, The Doctor's Heart Cure. Just click here to discover how you can dramatically reduce your risks of having a heart attack or stroke.

Check out the following articles:

Is Lipitor or Crestor scrambling your brain? The makers of Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor and Vytorin would have us believe that the side effects from their drugs are minor or rare. But if you're one of those who are experiencing some of these side effects it's far from minor.

Are You Getting The Best Exercise For Weight Loss?
If you are not getting all the exercise that you need I recommend that you take a look at Dr. Al Sears PACE exercise weight loss program. I thought I knew everything about exercise until I discovered his program.
