5.0 out of 5 starsEssential reading for those wishing to prevent heart disease
By D. R. Schryer on August 16, 2002
One of the most tragic medical blunders of the past few decades is the incorrect dogma that coronary artery disease -- and resultant heart attacks -- are caused primarily by cholesterol and "artery clogging fat." Yes, arteries clogged with plaque (which contains cholesterol and fat) can result in heart attacks, but there is abundant evidence that the mere presence of cholesterol and fats in the body does not, by itself, cause arterial plaque to form. In fact, many slender people with "ideal" cholesterol levels have plaque-filled arteries which result in heart attacks. What medical dogma has overlooked until quite recently is that plaque builds up only in arteries that have been wounded in some fashion. Arterial plaque is, in essence a form of scab that forms on wounded arteries to protect us from internal hemorrhaging. What causes wounded arteries? One cause is free radicals, which can be combatted by antioxidants. But a second major cause of arterial wounding -- and arterial plaque -- was discovered by the author of this book, Dr. Kilmer McCully: elevated concentrations in the blood of a chemical called homocysteine. Homocysteine is a natural product of the metabolism af an amino acid called methionine and, therefore, our body's always contain some homocysteine. Vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid keep blood concentrations of homocysteine low enough to be safe. But deficiency of these vitamins can allow homocysteine to build up to concentrations that can wound our arteries and lead to the formation of arterial plaque -- which can eventually trigger a heart attack. Recent research has confirmed Dr. McCully's findings. If you want to understand the role of homocysteine in causing cardiovascular disease and resultant heart attacks -- and learn how to protect yourself from them -- I strongly suggest that you acquire and read this valuable book.

4.0 out of 5 starsAn Excellent book to read. I recommend it to everyone.
By A Customer on May 1, 1999
For those interested in the politics of medicine, the latest research on heart disease, and the role that vitamins and nutrition affect your health this is a must read book. It was overall easy for a lay person to follow and explained alot of medical concepts clearly. I was impressed. Thank you Dr. Mcully for making this important contribution to health sciences.

5.0 out of 5 starsstatus quo is a death sentence
By A Customer on October 26, 2002
Excellent exposition of a revolution in medical science that will eventually save millions of lives. Besides, even if he is only half-rght, how tough can it be to take a few vitamins, eat your vegetables, cut down on donuts and doritos, and take a walk (preferably uphill) once in a while? Moreover, it is also an excellent and clear example of the entrenched members of a group suppressing an idea that would take away their income derived from maintaining current orthodoxy. This has always been true and always will be true. Why? After all, if you had attended college and graduate school and trained for 5 or more years beyond that, and accumulated $200k+ in debt to become qualified to perform open heart surgery (or pick whatever profession or skill you like), and to be elevated into a position of seeming god-like powers, and to be worshipped by the multitudes, and to hear the exalted "Doctor" pronounced before your name (egos please stand up!) and then someone came along with a new theory that said your patient could take 10 cents worth of vitamins every day and avoid your surgical specialty, don't you think you'd be a little resistant too? It is easy to say, well they have no integrity. But look at your own life, how many times do you resist a better idea or a change because it will mean a loss of income or prestige or might be a blow to your pride or ego? Keeping your expensive house and your porsche and your kids in private school and your wife out of divorce court is an extremely powerful incentive to maintain the status quo which is a 7-figure income for a heart surgeon. Sad but true and the most basic of human nature, preserving your own life and lifestyle.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsHomocystine - from the horse's mouth
By Saravanan Balakrishnan on May 7, 2009
Verified Purchase
There are two main messages from this book:

* High Homocysteine (an amino acid) levels in the blood damage the ineer walls of blood vessels, leading to hardening and clogging. Presence of LDL collesterol make the matter worse.

* Homocysteine levels can be usually lowered by supplementing with B6, B12 and Folic Acid (and of course, by eating a more wholesome food devoid of oxidised collesterol)

Beside the above, the book also carries two secondary messages. I think they are important as well:

* Dr McCully was the first one arrive at the relationship between high homocystine levels and higher incidence of heart attack. And he did this way back in the 60's. Hence, I consider this book to be first among equals

* The mainstream health care industry is yet to accept/appreciate the homocysteine connection. I can't understand how something as important can escape general acceptance for half a centry

However, this is one of the well written and important books on the subject.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Truly "Revoltion"-ary Health Book
By Nutrition Man on January 1, 2014
Verified Purchase
This book - written by the world's formeost expert on the subject - will help people understand why homocysteine is perhaps the single greatest health threat.

The only book on homocysteine that tops this one is The Homocysteine Solution (Patrick Holford)...which was published about 15 years after this book, and cotains more detailed, more complete & up-to-date science on the many different diseases that homocysteine is known to play a major causitive role in.

HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone that wants to take charge of their own health.
