(Back cover) FACT: CHOLESTEROL DOES NOT CAUSE HEART DISEASE! Did you know that there has never been a "scientific" study that has proven that "cholesterol" is the cause of heart disease? NEVER! NOT ONE!! NADA!!! In fact, numerous large studies have conclusively dis-proven this incorrect belief. Doctors refer to "cholesterol" as a "risk factor", not as the CAUSE of heart disease. THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • FACT: DRUGS THAT ARE ADVERTISED TO "LOWER YOUR CHOLESTEROL" DO NOT PREVENT YOU FROM HAVING A HEART ATTACK OR DEVELOPING HEART DISEASE. IN FACT, THEY DO NOT EVEN LOWER THE RISK OF HEART ATTACK OR HEART DISEASE. You don't have to take my word for it. The drug companies themselves say so. Look closely at any advertisement for Lipitor or Crestor. They clearly say (in the fine print) that... "Lipitor has NOT been shown to prevent heart disease or heart attacks." "Crestor has NOT been shown to prevent heart disease or heart attacks." Why would anyone in their right mind take poisonous drugs that don't address the real issue! The reason is simple... YOUR DOCTOR IS A LIAR! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • FACT: ALL OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO LOWER CHOLESTEROL HAVE VERY SERIOUS, EVEN DEADLY SIDE EFFECTS! Did you know that pharmaceutical drugs are the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.? It's true. The evidence is well known and has been public knowledge for nearly a decade. This information was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998. More than 100,000 people are KILLED each and every year by adverse side effects of "properly prescribed" prescription drugs! DRUGS KILL PEOPLE! 100,000+ PER YEAR!! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • FACT: THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT HAS CHANGED THE MEANING OF THE WORD CHOLESTEROL IN ORDER TO CONFUSE THE GENERAL PUBLIC! Did you know that the meaning of the word cholesterol that is listed on food packages is DIFFERENT than the cholesterol on your blood test? If you doubt this, then ask yourself... Why don't food packages list the amount of the so-called "good cholesterol" and also list the amount of the so-called "bad cholesterol" separately? If what doctors tell us about cholesterol is true, wouldn't it be good to eat more "good cholesterol" and only avoid the "bad cholesterol"? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • FACT: IT IS GUARANTEED THAT THE NUMBERS THAT YOUR DOCTOR GAVE YOU FOR YOUR "LDL" AND "HDL" DO NOT ADD UP TO THE "TOTAL CHOLESTEROL" THAT THEY SAID YOU HAVE! Haven't you ever wondered why your LDL + HDL don't add up to your total cholesterol? They never do, because what your doctor calls "cholesterol" isn't really cholesterol! The number that they use for "total cholesterol" contains things that are definitely NOT cholesterol! What are YOUR numbers? See if they add up to the total. THEY DON'T! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • FACT: THE LABORATORY THAT ANALYZED YOUR BLOOD TEST DID NOT ACTUALLY MEASURE YOUR "LDL"! THEY NEVER DO! It's true. The laboratory that processed the blood tests that your doctor recommends NEVER actually measured the "LDL" that was present in your blood sample. Instead, they use a mathematical formula, and merely calculate an estimate of your so-called "bad cholesterol" from a bunch of different measurements. The Physicians Desk Reference clearly says that this formula is NOT accurate in many cases! • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • FACT: CHOLESTEROL DOES NOT CAUSE HEART ATTACKS BY CLOGGING YOUR ARTERIES! THE human cardiovascular system, with all its arteries, capillaries and veins, is over 60,000 miles long. Haven't you ever wondered why it only clogs up in the few inches of the coronary arteries of the heart? Why don't the tiny capillaries in your toes, your fingers, your nose or your earlobes clog up first? These capillaries are much smaller than your coronary arteries, so if heart attacks were simply a matter of your arteries clogging up with cholesterol, then why don't you get a finger attack, or a toe attack or a nose attack first? Why do the large coronary arteries of the heart clog first? Haven't you ever wondered why, in coronary bypass patients, the arteries in their heart clogged up, but the vein from their leg that was used as a replacement did NOT clog? The same blood, with the same level of cholesterol, was flowing through the arteries in their heart and through the veins in their legs, so why didn't the vein clog also? Haven't you ever wondered why that same vein, which didn't clog when it was in their leg, tends to clog rapidly after it is placed in their heart during the bypass surgery? Haven't you ever wondered why the vein that was moved to the heart then clogs up, but the veins that remain in the leg still don't clog up? The same blood with the same cholesterol levels flows everywhere in the body, so why do people get arteriosclerosis but we don't get vein-osclerosis? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • FACT: LDL, THE SO-CALLED "BAD CHOLESTEROL" DOES NOT CAUSE HEART DISEASE! Did you know that there has NEVER been even one study where scientists fed people (or injected them with) large amounts of cholesterol (or LDL) and successfully caused them to have a heart attack? • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • FACT: THE TRUE CAUSES OF HEART DISEASE ARE KNOWN, BUT THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT AND YOUR DOCTOR DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW THE TRUTH! Did you know that there are specific dietary deficiencies that are known to cause heart disease? This information has been printed in medical and nutritional textbooks for years, but your doctor has chosen to ignore the truth.
