How To Drastically Reduce Your Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease

This book exposes the less-than-adequate methods that are used by most doctors in examining patients to determine their cardiovascular risk. Assessing the cardiovascular system properly and thoroughly involves much more than an occasional checking of the blood pressure or merely running a blood lipids panel (cholesterol/triglycerides). There are several other critical factors that must be evaluated for a thorough investigation of an individuals true risk for developing cardiovascular disease.

Dr. Ramsey reveals many important lab tests that are easily available from all medical labs, yet are seldom used by most doctors, leading to many missing pieces in the evaluation of a person’s complete health status. Other important non-lab physical evaluation tests are also explained. Many of these tests can be performed by the patient at home or at their local gym.

This book also reveals why the most often-prescribed drugs given for symptoms or lab findings can actually cause devastating negative effects when quite often, a simple natural nutritional approach can provide a safe and effective solution.

In the beginning of the book, Dr. Ramsey gives us a new paradigm for looking at cardiovascular-related symptoms as a way to provide us with important information as to what needs to take place in a natural, holistic way to correct the underlying cause of the risk factors. An example is given regarding high blood pressure. There is a reason that the body’s natural response to hypoxia (abnormal decrease of oxygen in body tissue) is to raise the pressure in the blood vessels, insuring that the tissue is fed what it is lacking.

This book shows us that in almost all cases, with cardiovascular disease, as in almost all other disease states, there are three basic factors leading to disease: stress, toxicity, and deficiencies. The real solution is removing the offensive factors and supplying what is lacking or missing. This book simplifies the process after the critical factors and missing pieces are found.

Powerful, natural dietary and nutritional supplements are recommended by Dr. Ramsey throughout the book and in the Resources section at the end. These are the same recommendations used by him on his patients at his Functional Medicine clinic. The information in this book is vitally important for anyone wanting to ensure that they don’t end up becoming the one in every two people who will die of cardiovascular disease.
