How to Protect Your Heart from Your Doctor

Lowest new price: $6.03
Lowest used price: $1.57
List price: $14.95
Author: Howard H. Wayne

How To Protect Your Heart From Your Doctor was written to educate heart patients who have been told they must undergo angiograms followed by angioplasty or bypass surgery that there are other options for both the diagnosis and treatment of their heart conditions. Noninvasive tests can provide all the information that is needed about a patient's coronary artery disease while modern medications have revolutionized the treatment of coronary artery disease. All too often angioplasty and bypass surgery are recommended as the first and only treatment option because these procedures are so profitable. Typically patients are threatened that unless they undergo surgery, they will have a heart attack or die. These are tactics of medical terrorism. There are now a large number of studies on over 20,000 patients comparing surgery or angioplasty with conservative medical treatment. Not a single study shows any benefit of these interventions. Neither angioplasty or bypass surgery prevent heart attacks or premature death. In fact, patients undergoing these procedures are more likely to die, have heart attacks, or go into heart failure. Thus, this book was written to inform the public of the dangers of these interventions and that conservative treatment with modern medications is highly effective, safe, and will prevent heart attacks and premature death.
