Each year, more than a million people in the U.S. have a heart attack, about half of them die. Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S.  Each year, over 700,000 people in the U.S. suffer strokes, and sadly, stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death in this country; it causes more serious long-term disabilities than any other disease. These are the stats from the National Institutes of Health!

Unfortunantly, most people will end up becoming part of these statistics unless we start seriously questioning mainstream medicine and money hungry drug companies.

For instance, we’ve been told for years that the primary cause of heart disease is an elevated level of cholesterol, due to poor eating habits and hereditary factors. We’ve been told to quit eating eggs, to start using polyunsaturated vegetable oils, to eat less fat, and to change over to soy products. And, of course, if all else fails, there’s the option of popping those cholesterol-lowering statin drugs.

People should be educated on what’s really going on with their health. Don’t be afraid to ask your doctor some hard questions. Dr. Blaylock has some great info on healthy ways to start preventing a heart attack. As always, do your research!
