Dr. Louis Ignarro discovered "the atom" of cardiovascular health--a tiny molecule called Nitric Oxide. NO, as it is known by chemists, is a signaling molecule produced by the body, and is a vasodilator that helps control blood flow to every part of the body. Dr. Ignarro's findings led to the development of Viagra. Nitric Oxide has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system as well.

NO relaxes and enlarges the blood vessels, prevents blood clots that trigger strokes and heart attacks, and regulates blood pressure and the accumulation of plaque in the blood vessels. Dr. Ignarro's current research indicates that Nitric Oxide may help lower cholesterol by facilitating the actions of statin drugs like Lipitor.

The goal of the regimen presented in
NO More Heart Disease is to age proof the cardiovascular system, keeping the vascular network clean and elastic through enhanced NO productivity. The plan is easy-to-follow without extreme lifestyle adjustments, involving taking supplements to stimulate Nitric Oxide production, incorporating NO friendly food into the diet, and a moderate exercise program.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

In 1998, Dr. Louis Ignarro won the Nobel Prize for Medicine, (along with Robert F. Furchgott and Ferid Murad), for his research discoveries showing the powerful ability of nitric oxide (or NO) to improve cardiovascular health and prevent heart disease. His ground-breaking work— the basis for his 2005 best-selling book, NO More Heart Disease— established Dr. Ignarro as perhaps the world’s leading authority on the nutritional approach to cardiac wellness, along with making possible the development of Viagra.

He holds a Ph.D. in pharmacology, is a distinguished professor of pharmacology at UCLA, and is a part-time professor at King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Dr. Ignarro has spent more than 30 years as a research scientist; seeking to understand the incredible role that nitric oxide plays in fostering optimal human health. One of his most important discoveries was that antioxidants, which reduce cell damage fromfree radicals, also increase nitric oxide levels by protecting blood vessel walls—which secrete nitric oxide—from damage.

He has received countless awards in addition to his Nobel Prize, including the 2008 Distinguished Scientist Award from the American Heart Association and the 2007 Medal of Merit from the International Academy of Cardiovascular Sciences. He edits the journal Nitric Oxide: Biology and Chemistry, sits on numerous scientific advisory boards, and travels the world speaking to professional and lay audiences about the incredible power of nitric oxide.

    After reading some of the reviews here, I decided to include my own personal experience with using the supplements suggested in Dr. Ignarro's book "NO More Heart Disease".
    I will start from the beginning: about 5 years ago, I was informed by my doctor that my total cholesterol reading was 365, but my blood pressure was not too high 130/82. I also came to find out that heart disease is hereditary in my family. The first thing my doctor wanted to do was put me on a cholesterol lowering medication - a statin. Initally I agreed and began taking it. Within two weeks, I felt a huge difference in my overall health. - I felt weak, tired,and my joints felt stiff. I was 39 at the time but I felt like I aged 20 years in those two weeks. I began doing some research and found out the truth about statins and it compelled me to stop taking them immediately. Not too suprisingly, I began to feel better within a few days and after about a week, I was back to feeling normal again; no aches and pains that I was feeling while taking the meds. I decided that I would try to fix my problem the natural way by modifying my diet, adding in some supplements that are said to help lower cholesterol, and increase my activity level. I felt I was fairly active already - weight training 3 - 4 days a week at that time and I ate pretty healthy to begin with, but obviously something was missing. The next year, I had my blood work done again and I thought for sure I was going to be in the clear, but I only managed to get my cholesterol down to 288. My doctor again strongly urged me to take a statin to lower my cholesterol and I still refused. I was truly frustrated because I was already taking supplements - red yeast rice, garlic, L-argnine, niacin, and a multi vitamin and still my cholesterol was this high. I absolutely did not want to take any cholesterol lowering meds; but at the same time, I was becoming worried about having a stroke or a heart attack, so I knew I had to do something soon.
    About a year ago, I came across an advertisement for Dr. Ignarro and I found his website. Long story short, I bought his book and applied the supplementation as he advised. After a few months,I had my blood work done and my total cholesterol was 200 and blood pressure was 114/78. I know those are not perfect numbers, but it is huge for me and I am confident that these changes are the result of following the advice/recommendations in his book. I still need to get my numbers a little lower, but I am so relieved that I did not give in and take the easy way out by going on the meds as my doctor suggested. All in all, I give this book 5 stars, because the supplementation is easy and it absoulutely worked for me.

    Every now and then we come across a book that is life changing.

    I bought this book for a close friend with heart disease. I decided to read it myself. (I didn't think it was necessary for high blood pressure but wanted to read it before giving it to my friend to make sure it was scientifically sound.) Once I got into this book I realized just how dangerous my blood pressure actually is/was. For over three years my doctors haven't been able to get my pressure down into the normal range. Okay, I do take some serious meds that raise blood pressure and blood sugar. I have focused on other health issues and not stressed over the blood pressure issue.

    Dr. Louis Ignarro gives a list of supplements with a dosage range. He doesn't promote a clinic, classes, his own supplements or run any hidden agendas. He is a great writer and explains some complicated medical information in clear and easy to understand verbiage. And, he explains each supplement and why it is necessary.

    Well, I already take lots of supplements so why not add a few more? I went to Sprouts and bought what I didn't already have. Some were not the right dosage (one amino acid in particular would have required 4 "horse pills" and I am only taking 2) but I still felt it was worth a try.

    Three DAYS later, a bit groggy from sleep, as is my usual practice, I got up to weigh myself, test my blood sugar and then test my blood pressure. I retook my blood pressure. Same numbers and they were all in the normal range! I was stunned. I didn't expect anything for at least three weeks (if at all).

    I have tried so many products that didn't work for me or that I realized wasn't the product but the severely restricted diet they encouraged. I do eat the foods suggested by Dr. Ignarro but for whatever reasons my body needs the supplements he suggests.

    I tell everyone I know about this book and I hope you or a loved one gets excellent, life-changing results also!

    I think this is a great book and would recommend it without hesitation. Nitric Oxide is a really interesting subject and this book helps to explain it really well. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because Dr Ignarro understanding of cholesterol is rather traditional, and maybe he should familiarise himself with the research undertaken by Dr Uffe Ravnskov [...] The French for example eat lots of cholesterol and saturated fats, and their heart attack rates are very low by comparison to the USA. However I accept that Dr Ignarro is not trained in cholesterol and so don't want to be unkind. Putting cholesterol aside, this is a really great book and worth your time and money. It does come across as a bit `salesy' which is not what you would expect from someone who has won a Nobel Prize, and this may be off-putting to some readers who take offence if something is too commercial. I suspect some marketing or PR person got involved somewhere along the way with this book and felt it needed hyping up. But it's an easy read, and you won't fall asleep, which is more than I can say for some books. Nitric Oxide is an important discovery, and Ignarro and his colleagues deserve lots of praise for bringing it to our attention.

    Despite the fact that Louis Ignarro sold his soul to Herbalife, he did win a shared Nobel prize explaining how arginine converts. He did however never made an actual product. Inspired by Ignarro, Dr. Arne van der Gen, PhD., did when he created Amino Alliance. My doctor put me on Amino Alliance and I immediately slept deep and saw my vascular system improve. Available in Europe and the US.

    THIS therapy is so effective it reduces blood pressure, improves sleep, acts LIKE Viagra and in my 60's makes me feel all over like I've been lifting weights... as 'pumped'. Now I want to use this energy to exercise... etc..
    (wink)

    BUT, you have to exercise lightly, eat 'better' foods, take the antioxidant catalysts, and the 2 amino acids as 'prescribed'. Simple. Might save your life.

    Cheap, and effective, based on REAL science that is free. Buy the book.

    I purchased this book as I wanted to know more of the Formation of NO with in the body as I have read Caldwell Essielstyn’s Prevent and Reverse Heart disease.
    The original edition shows its age, with the author promoting the use of supplements to boost NO formation, when the trend is toward whole foods
