Stephen T. Sinatra - Böcker

The best-selling book on heart disease, updated with the latest research and clinical findings on high-fat/ketogenic diets, sugar, genetics, and other factors.Heart disease is the #1 killer. However, traditional heart disease protocols—with their emphasis on lowering cholesterol—have it all wrong. Emerging science is showing that cholesterol levels are a poor predictor of heart disease and that standard prescriptions for lowering it, such as ineffective low-fat/high-carb diets and serious, side-effect-causing statin drugs, obscure the real causes of heart disease. Even doctors at leading institutions have been misled for years based on creative reporting of research results from pharmaceutical companies intent on supporting the $31-billion-a-year cholesterol-lowering drug industry.The Great Cholesterol Myth reveals the real culprits of heart disease, including: inflammation, fibrinogen, triglycerides, homocysteine, belly fat, triglyceride to HDL ratios, and high glycemic levels.Best-selling health authors Jonny Bowden, PhD, and Stephen Sinatra, MD, give readers a four-part strategy based on the latest studies and clinical findings for effectively preventing, managing, and reversing heart disease, focusing on diet, exercise, supplements, and stress and anger management. Myths vs. FactsMyth: High cholesterol is the cause of heart disease.Fact: Cholesterol is only a minor player in the cascade of inflammation which is a cause of heart disease.Myth: Saturated fat is dangerous.Fact: Saturated fats are not dangerous. The killer fats are the transfats from partially hydrogenated oils.​Myth: The higher the cholesterol, the shorter the lifespan.Fact: Higher cholesterol protects you from gastrointestinal disease, pulmonary disease, and hemorrhagic stroke.Myth: High cholesterol is a predictor of heart attack.Fact: There is no correlation between cholesterol and heart attacks.Myth: Lowering cholesterol with statin drugs will prolong your life.Fact: There is no data to show that statins have a significant impact on longevity.Myth: Statin drugs are safe.Fact: Statin drugs can be extremely toxic including causing death.Myth: Statin drugs are useful in men, women, and the elderly.Fact: Statin drugs do the best job in middle-aged men with coronary disease.Myth: Statin drugs are useful in middle-aged men with coronary artery disease because of its impact on cholesterol.Fact: Statin drugs reduce inflammation and improve blood viscosity (thinning blood). Statins are extremely helpful in men with low HDL and coronary artery disease.

Despite decades of aggressive pharmaceutical and surgical interventions, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the number one killer of both men and women in the Western world. The most important aspect in the treatment of CAD is to focus on prevention. Indeed, prevention is easier than cure and when CAD does present itself, a combination of conventional and alternative methodologies can truly make a difference in people’s lives. Building upon its predecessor, Nutritional and Integrative Strategies in Cardiovascular Medicine, Second Edition, provides scientific and clinical insight from leaders in the field of cardiovascular medicine who explore an integrative approach to treating and curing cardiovascular diseases through conventional and non-allopathic methodologies. Nutritional interventions with both appropriate non-inflammatory diets and targeted nutraceutical supports are simple and basic strategies to prevent as well as help manage CAD and congestive heart failure (CHF). In fact, nutritional strategies in the treatment of CHF have not only afforded patients a better quality of life but increased survival as well. This evidence-based book describes how to integrate nutrition, supplements, lifestyle changes, and medications for improved outcomes in hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, infectious myocarditis and much more. Topics include: Covid-19: An evidence-based integrative approach to supporting the myocardium Metabolic cardiology: An exciting new way to manage heart failure Contains information on hypertension and dyslipidemia Naturopathic approaches Mediterranean diet as the longevity diet of the world Value of omega-3s and other fats Role of botanicals in the treatment of cardiovascular disease Integrative care of the patient in extending quality of life Gender-specific medicine – Perhaps a new evolving cardiovascular sub-specialty Role of dental disease inflammation and cardiovascular disease Environmental toxins and the heart Earthing and grounding as an energetic nutrition in healing the heart Autophagy and mTOR – the "new medicine" of the futureNutritional medicine is vitally important in the integrative care of the patient. This book will assist established health professionals as well as students preparing for advanced degrees in healthcare and offer cutting-edge and new information in cardiovascular medicine. It offers simple nutritional supports that can make the difference between not only easing human suffering, but also life and death.

This title deals with how to combat heart disease, mitral valve prolapse, cancer, and much more by supplementing a little-known vitamin-like substance produced by your body.

Readers discover the"new cardiology and its cellular secrets" in the rescue, restoration, and renewal of cardiac health.

EARTHING introduces readers to the landmark discovery that living in contact with the Earth's natural surface charge - being grounded - naturally discharges and prevents chronic inflammation in the body. This effect has massive health implications because of the well-established link between chronic inflammation and all chronic diseases, including the diseases of ageing and the ageing process itself.Earthing is the simple solution to reduce and prevent inflammation and as easy as being barefoot outdoors or sleeping, working, relaxing indoors on conductive products that conveniently ground your body to the earth. The book documents how grounding the body consistently produces these and other common benefits: ·Rapid reduction of inflammation·Rapid reduction or elimination of chronic pain·Dynamic blood flow improvement to better supply the cells and tissues of the body with vital oxygen and nutrition·Reduced stress·Increased energy·Improved sleep·Accelerated healing from injuries and surgery without the hot burning inflammatory painThroughout history, humans have maintained an electrical ground connection with the Earth that naturally curbed inflammation disorder in the body. We walked barefoot and slept directly on the Earth. We were at all times naturally charged with the healing energy of the Earth. EARTHING shows us how to re-establish that link.Today, however, we mostly live and work insulated from the Earth. We wear non-conductive shoes with synthetic soles, walk on carpeted floors and sleep in elevated beds. We rarely go barefoot outside. We're disconnected. Consequently, our bodies become chronically charged with inflammation. This unnatural development represents an overlooked reason why immune dysfunction and inflammation-related health disorders have dramatically proliferated over the last half-century, ravaging adults and children alike. We've lost our electrical roots, the Earth's electrical ground that serves as our primordial anti-inflammatory protection.  Earthing is a missing link in the health equation. This book tells why and what to do about it.

Discover the secret to better health and a better life through grounding. Let nature and Dr. Sinatra be your guide to a happier, healthier life. Nature has historically been the world’s most acclaimed healer, with time-tested references to its ability to repair and renew body, mind, and soul dating to the earliest civilizations. For thousands of years, traditional Indigenous medicine from Mother Earth has been used to promote health and well-being for millions of Native peoples. The use of native plants and contact with the earth for healing purposes was commonplace for centuries from ancient Asia to the early Americas. In Europe, ancient Roman troops were reported to have walked upon hallowed ground after battle to receive healing energy from the earth. Recent scientific findings and clinical studies link grounding with relief for a variety of health issues: Heart diseaseSleep disordersInflammatory conditionsDepression & anxietyAttention disorders Grounding, the simple act of connecting to the always abundant, nourishing energy of the earth’s surface, has been scientifically and medically proven through numerous studies to have significant positive effects on our physiology. Grounding helps to restore energy, heighten feel-good endorphins, improve circulation, calm heart rate, alleviate stress, and help ensure a better night’s sleep, returning the body to a naturally balanced state of homeostasis the way nature intended. It also reduces inflammation—the culprit behind many of today’s rising health problems, including heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, and chronic pain.

'Earthing' introduces readers to the landmark discovery that living in contact with the Earth's natural surface charge - being grounded - naturally discharges and prevents chronic inflammation in the body. This effect has massive health implications because of the well-established link between chronic inflammation and all chronic diseases, including the diseases of ageing and the ageing process itself.

Provides proven longevity strategies that restore balance to stressful lives and promote optimum health. The authors describe four wellness pillars, that are the foundation of the medi-spa approach.
