The Cardiovascular Cure by John P. Cooke,Judith Zimmer Pdf

Based on Nobel Prize-winning science, this ground-breaking approach to preventing and treating heart disease works by enhancing the body's own natural defenses. Each year, half a million Americans die of heart disease and stroke, often after enduring painful surgeries and expensive drug treatments. Now, Dr. John Cooke, the head of Stanford Medical School's vascular unit, has devised a powerful new method for fighting this epidemic killer--a diet, supplement, and exercise program that will have heart patients feeling better in just two weeks. Combining a Nobel Prize-winning discovery and Cooke's own research, The Cardiovascular Cure will give new hope to those with debilitating heart disease as well as those who are at risk. Cooke's breakthrough strategy relies on the properties of a newly discovered chemical produced in the lining of blood vessels, as well as on his own discovery that specific nutrients enhance this chemical to improve blood flow in people with, or at risk for, heart disease. His program features a two-week eating plan, with recipes and menus that promote cardiovascular health, and there is detailed information on sup

The Cardiovascular Cure by John P. Cooke,Judith Zimmer Pdf

The Cardiovascular Cureoffers a groundbreaking approach to preventing heart attack and stroke by enhancing your body’s own natural defenses. Dr. John Cooke, head of Stanford Medical School’s vascular unit, has devised a powerful new method for fighting cardiovascular disease without bypass surgery or angioplasty. Drawing on his own investigations, as well as Nobel Prize-winning research from a team of American scientists, Dr. Cooke provides heart patients with a diet, supplement, and exercise program that will help them feel better in as little as two weeks. His program also works to prevent heart disease in those at risk. In 1998, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded for the discovery of EDRF (endothelium-derived relaxing factor), a chemical produced in the lining of the blood vessels, which keeps them free of plaque. Dr. Cooke and other investigators have found that specific nutrients can enhance EDRF production and improve blood flow in people with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or other risk factors for heart disease. This potentially life-saving book shows how anyone can achieve healthier blood vessels (the key to preventing heart disease). A two-week menu plan contains recipes that emphasize EDRF-enhancing foods, and there is detailed information on supplemental nutrients and vitamins that are useful in strengthening the cardiovascular system. Recipes from breakfast (Banana Date-Nut Bread; Blueberry Oat Pancakes; Pineapple Ginger or Tropical Smoothies; Pumpkin Muffins) to dinner (Moroccan Red Snapper; Chicken Wrap with Refried Beans; Soy-Glazed Salmon; Turkey Meatloaf) feature healthy fats found in fish, nuts, and olive oil. There is also welcome news that red wine and chocolate can be good for you (there are recipes for Double Chocolate Cake and Chocolate Raspberry Surprise). The exercise program consists of the same therapeutic plans Dr. Cooke has prescribed for even his most severely ill patients, many of whom begin to walk and even exercise more vigorously without pain after two weeks. In addition, there are aerobic workouts designed for more active patients. Dr. Cooke also provides state-of-the-art information (pro and con) on conventional drugs–from aspirin to beta blockers–and medical tests and procedures to further combat cardiovascular disease. With an introduction by Sir John Vane, a Nobel Prize-winning cardiovascular scientist, this book will provide anyone concerned about his or her cardiovascular health with new hope for a pain-free, disease-free life.

Cardiovascular Disability by Institute of Medicine,Board on the Health of Select Populations,Committee on Social Security Cardiovascular Disability Criteria Pdf

The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses a screening tool called the Listing of Impairments to identify claimants who are so severely impaired that they cannot work at all and thus immediately qualify for benefits. In this report, the IOM makes several recommendations for improving SSA's capacity to determine disability benefits more quickly and efficiently using the Listings.

In his new book, The Simple Heart Cure, you’ll find this top doc’s groundbreaking approach to preventing and reversing heart disease — an approach honed by his study of foreign cultures free of heart disease and decades of experience helping patients achieve a healthier heart at any age. Dr. Crandall is living proof of his program’s success. At the age of 48, and with no major risk factors, he found himself in the ER with a “widow-maker” blockage of his main coronary artery.

His unique perspective as both doctor and patient helps him empathize with the difficulties in making a transition from years of bad habits to a heart-healthy way of life. Plus, Dr. Crandall believes in using every weapon in his medical arsenal — conventional medicine, emerging treatments, lifestyle changes, even alternative therapies — to help his patients recover. Here are just a few of the potentially life-saving gems you’ll discover: • Proven ways to banish bad cholesterol • How to slash your risk of a deadly heart attack by 61% • 8 easy steps to head off that high blood pressure • How you can safeguard against stroke • Simple strategies to unclog your arteries without surgery • What your belly says about your heart health • Must-have heart tests for everyone over 50 • Easy solutions to steer clear of statin drugs, and much more...

The All-natural Cardio Cure by Allan Magaziner,Batya Swift Yasgur Pdf

A proven program to prevent, treat, and reverse cardiovascular disease and risk factors naturally, using diet, exercise, nutritional supplementation, and relaxation techniques-and without the use of pharmaceutical drugs. Americans are obsessed with heart health, yet most of us don't do the most basic things to take care of ours. In The All-Natural Cardio Cure, Dr. Allan Magaziner outlines a program for heart health that works to prevent, treat, and reverse the causes of cardiovascular problems, rather than merely treating them once they arise. Developed in clinical practice, Magaziner's comprehensive approach can help to: * lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides; * inhibit the inflammatory processes that lead to hardening of the arteries; * reduce blood pressure; * decrease the risk of heart attack and stroke; and * improve overall health. The All-Natural Cardio Curehas actually helped many people to eliminate or reduce their need for medication. The keys to this strategy are specific elements of diet, exercise, nutritional supplementation, and relaxation techniques, integrated in a clearly delineated way that is easy to follow and, most important, proven effective.

Promoting Cardiovascular Health in the Developing World by Institute of Medicine,Board on Global Health,Committee on Preventing the Global Epidemic of Cardiovascular Disease: Meeting the Challenges in Developing Countries Pdf

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), once thought to be confined primarily to industrialized nations, has emerged as a major health threat in developing countries. Cardiovascular disease now accounts for nearly 30 percent of deaths in low and middle income countries each year, and is accompanied by significant economic repercussions. Yet most governments, global health institutions, and development agencies have largely overlooked CVD as they have invested in health in developing countries. Recognizing the gap between the compelling evidence of the global CVD burden and the investment needed to prevent and control CVD, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) turned to the IOM for advice on how to catalyze change. In this report, the IOM recommends that the NHLBI, development agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and governments work toward two essential goals: creating environments that promote heart healthy lifestyle choices and help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and building public health infrastructure and health systems with the capacity to implement programs that will effectively detect and reduce risk and manage CVD. To meet these goals, the IOM recommends several steps, including improving cooperation and collaboration; implementing effective and feasible strategies; and informing efforts through research and health surveillance. Without better efforts to promote cardiovascular health, global health as a whole will be undermined.
