The Cardiovascular Cure

Based on Nobel Prize-winning science, this ground-breaking approach to preventing and treating heart disease works by enhancing the body's own natural defenses. Each year, half a million Americans die of heart disease and stroke, often after enduring painful surgeries and expensive drug treatments. Now, Dr. John Cooke, the head of Stanford Medical School's vascular unit, has devised a powerful new method for fighting this epidemic killer--a diet, supplement, and exercise program that will have heart patients feeling better in just two weeks. Combining a Nobel Prize-winning discovery and Cooke's own research, The Cardiovascular Cure will give new hope to those with debilitating heart disease as well as those who are at risk. Cooke's breakthrough strategy relies on the properties of a newly discovered chemical produced in the lining of blood vessels, as well as on his own discovery that specific nutrients enhance this chemical to improve blood flow in people with, or at risk for, heart disease. His program features a two-week eating plan, with recipes and menus that promote cardiovascular health, and there is detailed information on sup
