Review

Even though I am over wight I manage to exercise strenuously about 5 days a week by playing racquetball and walking. I have gained an incredible amount of knowledge about heart disease in the years since and one helpful resource was Dr. Willix's report. I have learned much from reading that report and putting some of the things into practice along wit the things I had already been doing I believe enabled me to have a positive checkup a couple of weeks ago. Not to say that I don't have heart disease anymore, but things are stable right now. I thank you for the book and all the helpful suggestions and ideas in it. --Rick M. -- customer

About the Author

A practicing physician since 1969, Dr. Robert D. Willix, Jr.Â’s pioneering work in preventative and integrative health care has earned him national recognition as a healer, teacher, speaker and author.

Dr. Willix graduated Alpha Omega Alpha from the University of Missouri Medical School, and did his Internship and Residency in cardiac surgery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As the first board-certified cardiac surgeon in South Dakota, Dr. Willix started the stateÂ’s first open-heart surgery program, performed thousands of coronary bypass operations and taught at the University of South Dakota Medical School. In 1981, he was recruited to South Florida as Medical Director for Cardiac Rehabilitation and Human Performance for a major hospital district.

Yet his study of the mind-body connection and the bodyÂ’s innate ability to heal itself inspired him to look at his career in an entirely new way. Seeing the potential of wellness-oriented, non-surgical integrative medicine, he left the surgical suite forever and devoted his practice to making - and keeping - his patients healthy. Convinced that bypass surgery was a "waste of time" if it wasnÂ’t accompanied by lifestyle changes, Dr. Willix began a cardiac rehabilitation program based on nutrition, exercise and natural healing traditions. In 1993, he expanded his practice to include Ayurvedic medicine, an ancient form of natural medicine presently being studied by the National Institute of HealthÂ’s division of Alternative Medicine.

This review is from: How to Prevent or Even Reverse Heart Disease--without Drugs or Surgery! (Paperback)

Delivery was as promised. The hype on the web site was OTT.
Never-the less, the book revealed a very important piece of info; so maybe it was worth the price. Only time will tell. Wish I'd purchased the book a couple of years ago, before my heart operation. Ah! well you can't win them all.
