Three times the number of people in the US and Canada are dying from heart disease than any form of cancer. That’s a sad fact. Personally sadder for me is that I am facing down this beast at the moment.

In this light, I want to suggest a book that so far seems to be well written and very helpful. The encouraging thing is that the author, Joel K. Kahn, MD, is very strong in his advocation of how much of controlling and overcoming this malady is within our direct control.

The book that I have only just started is “The Whole Heart Solution: Halt Heart Disease Now With the Best Alternative and Traditional Medicine”. I am loving that he advocates a blend of both schools. I think balance is nearly always a good, helpful and indeed healthful approach.
