Excellent,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stop America's #1 Killer (Paperback)
I found the book most interesting and informative. At the end of the book it provided the source of the research that the author used to make his decisions or comments. This makes the information more valid and not simply an opinion. The solution the author provides is a bit radical and perhaps unrealistic to achieve for many. However, he mentioned this and provided an alternative. There are few books of this type that the author will provide his email address for comments and results of those who follow his suggestions.

Ignore the Title and Cover,

This review is from: Stop America's #1 Killer! (Hardcover)
As his earlier books were, this one, properly sub-titled "Reversible Vitamin Deficiency Found to be Origin of ALL Coronary Heart Disease", is excellent, both in its organization by type of ailment and the depth of references, about 650 of them, mostly to medical journals. No index. Still it is easy to read, and has the evidence for the value of taking vitamin C . Back cover says: "Coronary Heart Disease is Arterial Scurvy" and as we all know, scurvy is the result of too little vitamin C.
There are 29 short chapters, the last being practical suggestions, mostly easy to apply, for good cardio health. No index. So from p22: "So, prepare to be amazed, especially if you are a health care practitioner who has always felt that atherosclerosis is largely an unstoppable and steadily progressive disease. It is not... Turn an abnormal coronary angiogram into a normal one... From p200: "As also noted earlier in the section on cholesterol, low cholesterol levels have also been shown in multiple studies to be strongly correlated with an increased chance of getting cancer or dying from cancer. An excellent work with that incredibly thorough literature search. Again, the text is very easy to read. On p253-4, the amount of vitamin C recommended daily is 3 to 9 grams. Three dozen other supplements are recommeded as well, and, in my opinion, are very well chosen, but a pain to take separately. Then: "Not that the above recommendations do not include calcium. Much of the atherosclerosis "epidemic" seen today is strongly fueled by the indiscriminate supplementation of calcium. Osteoporosis is readily treated effectively with the regimen as noted above, and with the exception of rare metabolic disorders, the supplementation of calcium is neve recommended." Amen!

A Great Case for Megadosing on Vitamin C,
By Moonstone Star White (FL, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stop America's #1 Killer! (Hardcover)
I've been a taker of nutritional supplements for about 30 years. And while I've usually taken an average of 500 mg a day, this book opened my mind to the amazing benefits that may be experienced by increasing that amount to anywhere from 3-15 grams.
I was initially attracted to this book because there has been quite a bit of heart disease in my family history, and this book promised to show a way to stop or even reverse it. Citing over 650 scientific references, it becomes quite clear that vitamin C is probably the most essential nutrient to include in a supplementation regimen, and should be included in very generous amounts. The author's description of the "ungelling" of the "intercellular glue" of the body's blood vessels due to a lack of vitamin C makes perfect sense. He skillfully weaves in the similarities among different manifestations of vitamin C deficiency (such as gum disease or catarats) and explains how a toxic overload to the body can both cause or exacerbate a tremendous deficiency of this important vitamin. Even more amazing was the discovery that high cholesterol may often be caused or increased by a lack of vitamin C, due to its ability to assist in de-toxification when there is a shortage of vitamin C to do the job. By addressing different factors known to contribute to atherosclerosis one at a time, the author consistently arrives at the conclusion that the most common denominator contributing to overall health and well-being is an abundant supply of vitamin C. We all heard this from Linus Pauling years ago, and he lived to be in his 90s. Yet this book put together all the research, both on humans and on animals, to create a very compelling case for taking megadoses of vitamin C daily. This is not a book the drug industry and traditional medicine will be happy to see. There is simply too much money to be made selling dangerous pharmaceuticals and performing expensive, traumatic and risky surgeries. However, the evidence is there, and anyone who wants to take more control over matters of their own health should read this book. I know that vitamin C is one supplement I will be taking a lot more of from now on.
