"A must-read for anyone interested in stopping heart disease in its tracks. If you want to live a long and healthy life, this is the book for you."
--Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., bestselling author of Brain Longevity
Leading cardiologists Dr. Stephen Sinatra and Dr. James Roberts draw on their collective fifty years of clinical cardiology research to show you how to combine the benefits of modern medicine, over-the-counter vitamins and supplements, and simple lifestyle changes to have a healthy heart--whether you have acute or chronic disease or just want to prevent cardiovascular disease from developing. You'll discover how:
You can combat heart disease before the first heart attack
Medications, scientifically proven supplements, and lifestyle changes can extinguish the flames of disease and purge and stabilize arteries--even for the most compromised cases
Fish oil, nattokinase, L-arginine, and other supplements can help prevent arterial clogging
CoQ10, along with L-carnitine and D-ribose, can powerfully recharge weak and ailing hearts

Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., F.A.C.C., is a board-certified cardiologist and certified psychotherapist with forty years of clinical experience treating, preventing and reversing heart disease. He is also certified in anti-aging medicine and nutrition.
In his practice, Dr. Sinatra’s focus has been integrating conventional medical treatments for heart disease with complementary nutritional, anti-aging, and psychological therapies to counteract the inflammation and plaque processes that cause heart attacks and strokes. He is a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, and a former chief of cardiology and medical education at Manchester (Connecticut) Memorial Hospital.
A prolific author, Dr. Sinatra has written numerous books, including The Great Cholesterol Myth (Fair Winds Press, 2012), Reverse Heart Disease Now (Wiley, 2008), The Sinatra Solution: Metabolic Cardiology (Basic Health Publications, 3rd ed., 2011), Lower Your Blood Pressure in Eight Weeks (Ballantine Books, 2003), Heart Sense for Women (LifeLine Press, 2000), Heartbreak & Heart Disease (Keats, 1999), and Earthing:The Most Important Health Discovery Ever? (Basic Health Publications, 2010). He is also the host of the Internet’s leading integrative cardiology website for the public, www.heartmdinstitute.com

Martin Zucker has been writing for 60 years, the last 40 of them about health, nutrition, and fitness. During that time he has written a dozen book and hundreds of magazine articles. His latest book is about the discovery of Earthing, also known as grounding. In the book, he and his co-authors describe the remarkable health and healing power of planet Earth and how humans are largely disconnected from it and unaware that it exists. Reconnecting is easy, and commonly produces significant results such as reduced inflammation, pain, and stress responses, as well as better sleep and blood flow. Zucker is a former Associated Press foreign correspondent.

Dr. James Roberts, Jr., MD, FACC, has been a practicing Cardiologist since 1986. In the beginning, he was a traditional practitioner of cardiology, promoting interventional procedures and drug therapy. It was only after realizing that his patients were returning time and time again for the same procedure that he decided that there must be a better way. He has devoted his life to the study of the underlying chemical and biological causes of heart disease, and has developed methods for preventing and reversing those causes. Today, he sees patients from all over the world in his office in Toledo, Ohio.
Dr. Roberts runs marathons and is the proud father of five children and three grandchildren. He and his wife Cindy have been married for nearly 40 years.

I searched in my books, 9 about heart, and after reading in "The Sinatra Solution", I ordered D-Ribose and L-Carnitine - already using CoQ10 and vitamin E, and ordered "Reverse Heart Disease Now". Nearly all of the mentioned 1,000+ doctor books, bought since 2002, have been bought coursed as the result of doctors making failures, and knowing too little. And even though this book is from 2007, clearly by this I can get more help, and information, than from the doctors. I am looking forward to test and blood measure in 3 weeks.
Our then new Primary Care Physician almost immediately discovered underlying deficiencies including magnesium, vitamin D, Vitamin B-12 and testosterone - all of which deficiencies of are attributed to high blood pressure (hypertension.)
Now that my husband is on the proper supplements and eating very healthy he is no longer on 4 or 5 blood pressure meds, 2 diabetes meds and a cholesterol med, instead he is ONLY on a single blood pressure med, a heart protective med, a diabetes med and 1/2 a blood thinner (he has frequent bleeds on any higher dose so his doctor cut back the dosage). Instead of forking out hundreds of dollars a month in unnecessary prescriptions that made him feel horrible (no doubt, 2 were diuretics! which we have since learned his body cannot tolerate!) and he barely had the energy to drag himself out of bed, he now feels great, has loads of energy, has reversed his severe heart disease naturally. A local cardiologist told him a year ago his next step was a heart transplant, another cardiologist told him he'd be dead within 2 weeks - that was 15 months ago!) so obviously we did *something* right. That *something* was finding a team of great doctors and finding Dr. Stephen Sinatra's book "Reverse Heart Disease Now".
Thank you Dr. Sinatra! My husband is not only alive today, our marriage is greatly improved and we both are much healthier. I now also follow Dr. Sinatra's protocol for maintenance. Despite being severely obese my blood pressure is now a very healthy 106/68. Since beginning his protocol I feel so much better myself and now have the energy to tone up and lose some weight - all because a friend led us to Dr. Sinatra's books including The Sinatra Solution: Metabolic Cardiology!
Please see my review for NutraBulk D-Ribose Powder ONE KILOGRAM - I further elaborate on the seriousness of the crisis my husband was in and how rapidly we moved from "serious crisis" to "much improved health" taking the supplements that Dr. Sinatra recommends in this book, especially Magnesium, CoQ10, L-Carnitine, D-Ribose, Fish Oil and a good multi-vitamin.

UPDATE DEC 2012: We are rapidly approaching FIVE YEARS since the tragedy above including my husband's experience with death at the hands of a local medical team. We have come so far since I initially was led to the Sinatra books and learned about Magnesium, Ribose, Carnitine, and Co-Q-10 / Ubiquinol. We have come so far - his Type 2 Diabetes that formerly had an A1C in the double digits WHILE ON DIABETES medications is so well *cured* that he is no longer on any diabetes medications whatsoever and his A1C is currently 5.5. Even per some of our medical doctors "we can't use the C word as there's no such thing as a 'cure' but this is what would be called 'cured'." Oh he nine medications he used to be prescribed when all this happened? He's only on TWO medications now - a 'heart protective' med and a diuretic.
People who have known my husband for many decades have said he looks better today than they can recall ever seeing him before. He'll be 60 years old in a matter of days - that's saying something! It did not take 5 years to get us to this point. It took us mere weeks to get him to be able to walk 5 miles in a single day, then a year later a serious viral infection caused a one sided paralysis - the cause of which has never been found. He's about 80% recovered from the viral effects today. Then a year later he suffered first a fractured hip and surgical repair, then weeks later he fractured his back - not good, especially when a local ER (not the one where he coded) sent him home stating "yes his back is broken but it's an old injury". Later an MRI showed it was indeed a "new break" as his massive pain levels had indicated. THANK THE SPIRITS for Oriental Medicine Doctors who were able to relieve a substantial amount of his pain and begin the healing process with electro acupuncture, cupping and Chinese herbs. He resumed working full-time just a few weeks later, western medicine never did treat his broken back... Then a year later he burned his foot serious enough that the same ER / hospital indicated to us "we don't have a foot specialist, we're going to amputate." Okay.. so in comes a podiatrist to save the day - yes, my husband has his foot despite developing MRSA while in the hospital for another 9 days that particular visit and the fact they nearly caused him to be on dialysis due to the high dose of medications they demanded, if I hadn't put my foot down when I did I'm sure he'd be requiring full-time dialysis today, besides having an amputation on his "good side" meaning he'd be wheelchair bound. Good Riddance. Anyway, there's no way he would have overcome all this if we had not been following Sinatra's protocols.
Meanwhile, my own 2012 saga led the same ER to turn me away without labs nor without access to my insurance denied medications despite having yet another documented case of DVT / Blood clots and no access to viable western anti-coagulation therapy. The next day on a return trip to the ER I was told they needed the bed for sick patients despite a much serious worsening of symptoms including what my cardiologist has now diagnosed as a pulmonary embolism at the least -- 10% of people diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism die within mere hours. They didn't even draw a single lab until the 3rd ER visit, the 7th ER visit was after the outpatient ordered chemical nuclear stress test infiltrated the vein in my arm - ever know what it's like to have that drug seeping into your system over the course of many hours?? I was in pure torture, my already stressed out heart felt ready to explode, my lungs were screaming for so much air that the firefighters summoned by my husband had to administer 4 liters of O2 to get my blood levels back to their comfort zone. They went outside to confer with the arriving paramedics, from a distance I clearly heard the frustration in their voices as they relayed how seriously stupid it was to send me home in that state, so back off to the ER, again by ambulance I went...
... is this where I tell you that I have SERIOUS issues with ERs since I watched a different one cause my husband's death and electric shock resuscitation 5 years ago?? I do NOT go to an ER willingly unless it's absolutely life-threatening... ultra serious visits only... weeks earlier I had sustained a fall off a step ladder onto a wood laminate floor covering a concrete slab. Despite a concussion causing me to black out a few minutes and a serious rotational whiplash I did NOT go to the ER and treated it at home....
... anyway I surely felt as though it was that serious - as well as several paramedic teams who rushed me back to the ER several times as well as my primary care who didn't like the changes he saw on my EKG... and then AGAIN called the paramedics who whisked me off to the hospital yet again to just be sent home after a nurse telling me it "is all just in your head, on a scale of 1 to 100, I'd say this is 100 anxiety." Again this was all due to my insurance company failing to ensure I had access to blood thinners with yet another diagnosed case of DVT and a medical ER team failing to ensure I had proper testing and treatment. This all involved Coventry and Barnes St. Peters for the record. I am SOO very thankful that I had been following Sinatra's protocols for the 4+ years prior to this incident. Without the supplement support to my heart for many years, I seriously suspect I would not be alive today. Just walking 20 feet I would feel like my heart was being crushed, the weight on my chest was nearly unbearable (coming from someone who didn't take pain meds for a shredded ACL), I had burning down the back of my left arm and up my neck, my oxygen levels were falling off very badly per the many teams of paramedics as well as my own oximeter such as this one: Finger Pulse Oximeter SM-110 with Carry Case and Neck/Wrist Cord (everyone with heart or lung issues should have an oximeter...).
Almost 6 months later I still am not back to where I was when all this began, my cardio says it could easily be another year. It could have been far far worse...
I deeply credit Dr. Stephen Sinatra for once again saving our heart health and saving BOTH our lives. I do not have heart disease and I am confident whatever amount of heart and lung damage suffered during my saga this summer would have been far far worse had I not become aware of and followed Dr. Sinatra's sage advice.
New studies need to be carefully evaluated by scientific methods & used to inform physicians of changes in old assumptions & new possibilities that are shown to improve healing & survival rates of patients.
This book shows why certain treatments are useful & when they are not the best for particular patients. New findings are reported & their applications discussed in a reasonable & clear manner that should be easily understood by laymen.
Many of the supplements discussed & the dietary changes suggested can be applied by anyone without interfering with other treatments & still add a great deal to a patient's health.
The more you try to bolster your health the better your body will be able to heal itself & maintain its health.
I am especially impressed with the author's understanding of biochemistry. Nourishment of cells enable them to be healthy & to perform optimally. Healthy cells compose healthy tissue. Healthy tissue composes healthy organs & healthy organs make a healthy body. Why can't most physicians understand that? Vitamins & minerals are important & environmental toxins are harmful.

I immediately stopped using sugar, salt, alcohol, marihuana, changed my diet to include less carbo-hydrates and meat, more fruit and vegetables and bought some fitness equipment I am now using almost daily, setting new goals for speed and endurance every week.
Three months later I have stopped using the medication I got and I am the one in control now when I visit my Cardiologist ;-) If you have a heart condition and value your health you MUST read this book !
